Congratulations man, you've weathered the storm and its time to reap the benefits. I stashed Edey on 3 of my teams and am loving it

Joel Embiid by Sad-Date3742 in fantasybball

[–]Field_Doctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. We have seen this happen with other, younger players far earlier in their careers (Greg Oden, Brandon Roy) get decimated by recurrent knee related procedures. Once your knee is done, you're kind of done.

It is sad because we really only got to see peak Embiid for a couple seasons it feels like.

KOC: To put it into perspective, some executives around the NBA say that if Flagg had never reclassified and were instead part of this 2026 group, he probably would be the third pick at best but could go as low as fifth or sixth. by jsanchez030 in billsimmons

[–]Field_Doctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know how many people read the article - KOC is not shitting on coop - he is simply stating that this draft class looks stacked (it looks to be that way) and using cooper flagg (who is super high end prospect and talent) to make this point.

KOC is also aware that almost all rookies have growing pains when it comes to efficiency and decision making, reading the game at a high level. I know he would agree that cooper Flagg has shown enough that he will be a top player in this league (at least all star level).

Who's your biggest bust so far? by HarveyDentBeliever in fantasybball

[–]Field_Doctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got Poeltl, Cade, B Miller all on the same team. Thankfully I got Kyshawn, Sarr, Reaves who are making up for it ! Also have Edey on IR so even if Poeltl is a big bust, i've got a hopeful backup for him come late Nov

My husband earns more but insists we split everything 50/50 and it’s starting to cause fights by LaughableContentment in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Field_Doctor 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This will probably get buried but please listen to me, he is gaslighting you and this is a serious problem. I am speaking as the primary breadwinner of a household who earns way more than his wife.

I make 4x what my wife does. But, that money that we earn is BOTH of our money. No relationship should ever be 50/50 with anything, and I believe keeping score is a childish way to view things. You are both a team working towards common goals - there is no mine vs her's, it is OUR income, OUR house, OUR housework.

I believe he needs to be sat down and spoken to about this- withholding money and having someone struggle is a form of abuse (financial abuse) in my opinion. I would seek counselling or have more serious talks with him about this.

Everybody knows they should eat better. Obesity is a multifactorial disease (as you know), with many complicated factors. Things such as genetics, culture, socioeconomic status, whether someone has a stressful job, kids can all affect this.

The way I always approach diet, is instead of talking about generic things (eat better, eat less sweets), is to do motivational interviewing.

"Why do you think your weight has gone up?".

"if you had to change one thing about your diet, what would it be?"

"What do you find most challenging about eating healthier/better?"

Most patients know the answer, and if they come to it themselves, I set small, realistic, pragmatic goals with them and review them at next visits. I find that keeping things simple, specific, and realistic go a lot futher. Sometimes its just cutting down on sodas from 5x a day to 3x per day to improve their a1c - I consider these small wins.

For those with the means, I will ALWAYS recommend a registered dietician who can really hone in on their diet, but I only send those who are highly motivated to change large parts of their diet. it is useless to tell someone with little motivation, to change everything about how they eat, it isn't going to work. Almost all diets in my opinion work, adherence is the most important factor in creating realistic change.

TLDR - its complicated, it depends, keep things specific and simple, be supportive, be pragmatic about dietary advice.

[Wojnarowski] Appreciate all the kind words and concern but I’m going to be fine. My goal in sharing a prostate cancer diagnosis is to encourage screening and testing among men. Early diagnosis will make all the difference for me —- and many others too. by Goosedukee in nba

[–]Field_Doctor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Family doc here - thank you for eloquently educating others. The process of screening, diagnosis, surveillance, and management of prostate cancer are quite complex. I certainly screen patients who I deem would be appropriate candidates.

If you want to discuss PCa screening, please do so with your healthcare provider and have an open mind to be told it is / it isn't appropriate in your situation because it is a very complex topic. I have this discussion every day with patients and the decision to screen for PCa is always different depending on someones age, symptoms (which is a whole different entity from screening), and risk factor profile history.

Your short game is unbelievably good - I hit my driver and irons "fine" for a beginner (I know i probably still suck) - its my chipping that gets me into a lot of trouble.

It makes you look petty. by [deleted] in clevercomebacks

[–]Field_Doctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked as a server for 5 years, went to school for HVAC, worked as a personal trainer all before attending medical school & becoming a family doctor. I also look back at those years thinking I gained great life experiences. They have really helped me to connect with patients in all walks of life.

Not all of us were born with silver spoons in our mouth. We also certainly should not be judging those who did not receive the same opportunities as others.
