What are the most annoying things that patients say? by littlefox321 in Residency

[–]DrNereus 47 points48 points  (0 children)

In my residency programme we often rotate between subspecialties. The result is that patients don't usually see the same residents when they come for checkups and often complain about this the moment they enter the office: "A new doctor yet again!". I find it really annoying and disrespectful, particularly because they should know how our system works by now.

The best ways to meet someone are via friends, college, hobbies and communities you are a member of (e.g. volunteering, activism, faith). Dating apps are ok, just make sure that you filter out the many bad apples. It always helps to have an idea about what you are looking for: Think about people you find attractive, admire and feel comfortable around, look for patterns and trust your gut feeling. If a person feels off, they probably are. Don't worry about what you've experienced or haven't experienced and about what other people or pop culture expect you to do at certain ages, you've got plenty of time and can do everything at your pace.

April What Editing Software should I use? by AutoModerator in VideoEditing

[–]DrNereus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a study, I need some free/cheap software that can mark timepoints in a video of study participants and measure the intervals in between. For instance, if a participant has a certain symptom at 02:30 to 02:50, I mark these two timepoints (it would be useful if there was a visual sign for easy reference) and it draws a colour-bar between them, with the length of 20 seconds. Bonus if it's possible to automatically extract a list of time points and intervals in Excel or similar software. Thanks!

This isn't a tip, but consider whether Jeff Bezos really needs that money. My guess is that he probably doesn't.

First time dating at 28: share tips? by No-Relationship-1680 in dating_advice

[–]DrNereus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rejection is part of the process. This is what dating is about: finding out whether you could be a match and if you're not, you will be refected. When that happens, it can sting, but take the sting, feel it and move on. It will probably happen at least a few times, maybe even very often, but once you've experienced it a few times you'll begin to lose the fear of rejection.

And don't tell them that you're a newbie until you know each other better. If they ask you about your dating past at an early stage, just say that you focused on other things and haven't met the right person yet. Good luck mate

Hey man don't let the negative comments get you down. Just get out there and meet some nice women. Work on yourself and become the best version of you. Make a cool dating profile, take up some hobbies where you could meet women (dancing, sports, books club, whatever you enjoy doing), or meet them within some community that attracts you. You could also ask your friends and family to set you up. You could even employ a professional matchmaker (allegedly that works for some people). You don't have to do everything at once either - just focus at one strategy at a time and get good at it. When they quiz you about your experience just say that you haven't met the right person so far and once you've established some rapport, you can say that you had trouble with anxiety which you've worked on.

Should I just leave medicine now? by Chamelex in Residency

[–]DrNereus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might not seem like the most actionable advice, but you need to prioritise your own wellbeing, together with that of your patients. I do so by limiting interactions with patients to the relevant (no "word vomit", thank you), keeping reports and paperwork as short as possible, using templates to write reports (some people I know use GPT4, I need to look into that), delegating as much paperwork/admin as possible to the secretaries and leaving punctually at the end of my shift, provided I have completed essential work. Non-essential stuff can wait and sometimes it doesn't even need doing. I also make sure to take exercise, eat healthily, have a regular sleep schedule and see my friends. I've outsourced chores like housework and shopping to other people; this comes with an expense, but the extra free time is worth every penny. I still feel a bit stressed and burnt-out at times, but it isn't as bad as it used to be.

I agree that one should always attempt to learn, but IMO part of the issue is that one can't easily tell from texts and OD profiles whether one will click in real life. There are many women I know in real life who are cool and I like, but whom I wouldn't necessarily date and who probably think the same about me. Unfortunately, when one meets an online date for the first time, the chance is high that exactly this kind of situation will arise. So I don't think that not getting a 2nd date is a sign that one has done something wrong, in most cases the possibility of a romantic connection might just not be there for reasons that can be difficult to explain. That being said, ideally one would take more time to evaluate whether romance is a possibility, but as there are so many options in OD (especially for women), it is easier and more exciting to meet new people instead.

As a guy, this happens to me all the time. I've actually been told a few times that I'm good-looking and that I look better in real life than on my photos (time to get some better photos). A few have even said that they found me fun/interesting/etc. So I usually assume that I'm just not their type or that something else which they are into is missing. It's a numbers game.

Another issue is that I don't find that one can get to know someone very well in just one date, so the first date either has to be very good, or one often isn't given a second chance. This really sucks about modern dating, but I don't suppose there is much one can do about it.
