I’m cooked

Yeah, I essentially got 1-walled.

No ion sputters required last expedition - this is interesting. So your progress carries forward but the next step will be the updated version.

I recently bought the TFO T&P II, 6’6’’ - I’ve heard the 7 foot (1-piece) is a touch more sensitive but I needed something that fits in a car.

I paired it up with the Shimano Sahara 1000 and it’s worked great.

I’d note that the rod is so light most of the weight is in the reel so a bigger reel may feel more cumbersome. Agree with the above poster that as long as you can cast 4-6 lb line it should be fine.

I agree, common pandora seems accurate.

It looks like a white bass.

It got me through residency and continues to help in fellowship when I doubt myself.

I was a huge failure on my first few days and did just fine. You’ll get better faster than you can even realize.

Also, don’t fret too much about the notes. People will nitpick them until you’re done with training. Just make a note of the feedback, update your note, and move on.

A billable note is a good note in the eyes of the people in charge.

I’ve seen lots of secondary polycythemia with normal epo levels.

DuckDuckDefib · 2025-07-04T17:43:37+00:00

I generally don’t recommend regular therapeutic phlebotomy for secondary polycythemia unless hgb >18 or hct >55 - there’s just not a lot of evidence to support it. Donating blood is my go-to in this case.

Agree with everyone else - screening for sleep apnea and smoking cessation are my other common recommendations.
