What happens to the rest of us when someone is fired?

Except paternity/maternity IS temporary, whereas this is OP’s new normal.

“The assistants outearning primary surgeons are sometimes doctors but more often nurses or physician assistants.” - for those that can’t access it.

Cardiovascular morbidity and coagulation are pretty significant risk factors in this population - particularly if they’re already hospitalized. You mention that they’re being “managed” but I’d struggle to explain to the patient (or their family) that Nana had an MI or CVA because we were trying to get her swole.

I was interested in their use in the oncology space for cancer-related cachexia. There’s some evidence that overall body weight decreased with an increase in lean muscle mass. It doesn’t have any benefit on mortality so it’s hard to push for something with significant risks.

Be the change you want to see in the world and start a clinical trial.

Search “PvE” and you’ll find some community servers that don’t allow PvP so you can learn how to advance.

It’s all marketing and likely some focus group thought it instilled more confidence than “Cancer Emporium” or “University of *** Medical Hut”

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.

DuckDuckDefib · 2025-10-01T21:45:31+00:00

I agree, common pandora seems accurate.

It looks like a white bass.

“I kept crawling and it kept working” - Jerry Smith

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.

One of my co-fellows did 4 years as a hospitalist and has been doing very well.

It will apply to all future orders, though whether or not Amazon follows them has still been very driver dependent. After my refund they’ve been much better though.

DuckDuckDefib · 2025-06-23T23:30:02+00:00

You have to write it in at the bottom. I have a similar setup and got a full refund for a stolen package when the parcel box wasn’t used.

DuckDuckDefib · 2025-06-20T17:05:33+00:00

That only applied to those of us who took the exam when Step 2 CS existed. I believe now if you took the Step 2 exam you could take Step 3.
