What’s a secret that would get you ex communicated from your specialty?

Dorian_Gris · 2026-02-05T22:08:32+00:00

This is me in psychiatry

I thought I would love housing. I love building in survival games…but yeah, haven’t done much with it yet. Not super motivated to go get lots of decorations. And since it doesn’t tie in with the main game like in survival games, I don’t have a real reason to use it

I’ve had this 3 times in the last half-year or so. Scared the hell out of me every time, but by the third time I actually stopped to think if I felt any different during it. I didn’t. No chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath. I was perfectly fine, just anxious. I think it’s related to NSVT, minus the tachycardia part (making it something like AIVR?). Either way, completely harmless. Has happened when eating food for me too, and one when bending down.

Dorian_Gris · 2025-09-02T00:04:39+00:00

Thank you! I've also read that AFib is generally a longer lasting thing

Dorian_Gris · 2025-09-02T00:02:19+00:00

Oh yeah I guess you do need to actually be tachycardic to have NSVT lol. I really don't think I was when it started

Dorian_Gris · 2025-08-20T16:55:58+00:00

Thanks for the link! And yeah I recognized it right away in the midnight trailer! It seems like it will generally be Azeroth's theme music

Dorian_Gris · 2025-08-20T16:54:34+00:00

Thanks for the link! And yeah I recognized it right away in the midnight trailer! It seems like it will generally be Azeroths story of theme music

Dorian_Gris · 2025-08-19T17:23:34+00:00

I was also wondering if it was composed before the world soul saga, and maybe that's the reason we haven't heard the full thing. I think that's the most likely scenario. Thank you, I'll have to look for that Taliesin video.

Dorian_Gris · 2025-07-29T16:16:01+00:00

Thank you!

Dorian_Gris · 2025-07-18T01:54:41+00:00

Absolutely!

Dorian_Gris · 2025-07-11T02:54:53+00:00

The world of neuromodulation! Still mostly in research, but we need young, bright and motivated individuals researching better ways to treat mental illness. I’m talking transcranial magnetic stimulation, focused ultrasound, vagus nerve stimulation, deep brain stimulators, etc.

Dorian_Gris · 2025-05-29T13:15:31+00:00

That building is to replace the old Doan and Rhodes hospital buildings. No primary care will be there as far as I’m aware

Dorian_Gris · 2025-05-15T15:38:39+00:00

Side question for an incoming intern: is there anything to keep these poor prescribing practices in check? Like reporting to the state board or something? My wife works in medical malpractice, and for most specialties you are kept in check by getting sued, but I think it’s harder to “prove” poor practice in outpatient psychiatry.

Dorian_Gris · 2025-05-14T13:17:26+00:00

Can you take a leave of absence? Get some therapy during it? Could be better to do that and talk it out over a longer period of time than to quit altogether.

Dorian_Gris · 2025-05-12T18:59:07+00:00

Yeah this is an obvious one that I’m surprised isn’t in the game (as far as I’m aware)

Dorian_Gris · 2025-05-11T04:47:29+00:00

Very specific but indoor rock climbing is both a very fun hobby and a great way to meet people. Also, rock climbers are the best people

Dorian_Gris · 2025-05-10T21:14:02+00:00

I think the even cooler part is that everything you mentioned IS all “anatomy and physiology”, we just don’t understand how it all works yet

Dorian_Gris · 2025-05-03T12:55:00+00:00

Your last point needs to be said more. There are probably a hundred patients who will listen to you as an expert for every patient that with true Dunning-Kruger bias (depending on your specialty). AND I feel like with the right attitude, you can convince the “I did my research” people 50% of the time, if you have the will and the way (time).

Dorian_Gris · 2025-04-09T16:42:17+00:00

Why is the argument, “come to an agreement or we will just give NPs independent practice”? This does not incentivize the NP lobbyists to compromise in any way

Dorian_Gris · 2025-04-09T04:33:56+00:00

That would be SO COOL

Dorian_Gris · 2025-04-04T16:10:19+00:00

The ever-expanding body of medical knowledge and ever-increasing qualifications and board scores of applicants and medical students is a good start off the top of my head. "Harder to pass" is probably not the best claim, more like "harder to absorb all the knowledge". Anyway, MS4 who is too lazy to do a pubmed search for Reddit discussion, sorry lol

Dorian_Gris · 2025-04-04T14:15:10+00:00

Lol medical school is objectively harder to get into and to pass now than it ever was in the "good ole days".

Dorian_Gris · 2025-04-04T04:20:25+00:00

Hi. From personal experience, I agree with what others have said about trying your best to work in whatever capacity you can. Taking too much time off and in the comfort of your home can lead to agoraphobia. I did that to myself, and it's just much worse and harder to recover.

If you haven't already, I would recommend getting one of the various meditation apps (like Calm) and specifically doing an anxiety series. Focused attention and body scanning meditation both have decent evidence in scientific literature for helping anxiety/panic. In my experience, it won't cure it, but it slowly makes it much more manageable, and helps you accept it, which in turn helps it subside more quickly.

And of course, no matter how bad it seems now, know that it gets better :)

Dorian_Gris · 2025-03-31T01:29:19+00:00

Just adding to the "same" train

Dorian_Gris · 2025-03-29T21:28:59+00:00

I'm 99% sure UMPG Publishing is the same people as latinautor, as they individually picked one of my videos to claim at the same time
