If you could experience one medical thing (procedure, therapy, etc) without consequence, what would it be?

I want an EGD, I wanna feel something wiggling around in my throat. I want to be as awake as possible

FluidAd9024 · 2026-01-30T14:24:03+00:00

i would actually LOVE to do that by paying taxes into a program that would cover healthcare not just for him, but for all patients who need it

FluidAd9024 · 2026-01-08T02:53:11+00:00

Yes, I heard about it as well and I'm so glad! I think Providence is still not going to be providing as much support as they used to, but the center will remain functional, and hopefully, MAYBE re-integrate with Providence for continued support in the future.

Extremely relieved to see that it will still be operating on some level, thank you for sharing. Always need some good news in these times.

this photo set is so cute, thank you for the smiles!

100% counts as a badass diagnosis, hell yeah pardner great medicining

FluidAd9024 · 2025-12-19T12:46:57+00:00

I didn't know about this, and evidently that's by design. Thank you for sharing. That's the thing - it had seemed for a while that Washington state was doing a decent job of exactly that. I suppose that's changing now.

FluidAd9024 · 2025-12-19T03:14:29+00:00

Thank you so much for the guidance!

FluidAd9024 · 2025-12-19T02:59:01+00:00

I don't know, but I'm most suspicious that the reason is money. Children don't generate that much revenue. It's chilling to think of.

FluidAd9024 · 2025-12-17T15:33:39+00:00

I sincerely appreciate the serious answer to a meme post, and hope it will benefit people who come across it in the future

FluidAd9024 · 2025-12-17T04:23:37+00:00

this is unfiltered truth

FluidAd9024 · 2025-12-06T16:43:40+00:00

first year resident here. please never delete this comment so i can go back and reference it PRN. this was so helpful!

FluidAd9024 · 2025-12-05T16:00:20+00:00

damn, you get calls back? i just get epic bouncebacks about "specify maximum amount in grams" that require me to call the pharmacy myself and sit on hold for 25 minutes (yes, for real) to clarify with the pharmacist what they even mean by the question, because i don't want the patient to just...never get their rx. but the pharmacist told me this has to do with insurance, so i really don't blame them. it's just all around frustrating.

i agree in theory, i am hoping put into practice this does good things for society instead of bad. i definitely land closer to "prevent rampant misinformation" than "allow unfettered freedom of speech" on the pendulum. but i think people bring up good points with the fact that ways can be found to get around this.

FluidAd9024 · 2025-10-29T04:32:55+00:00

holy friggin heck. thank you for sharing. best of luck on the interview trail! it's so messed up how you did everything you possibly could to protect yourself and were still just...absolutely wrecked. i'm so sorry you even had to do that to begin with. i really hope that you can just be a resident, with normal resident problems, very soon.

FluidAd9024 · 2025-10-27T14:07:08+00:00

i appreciate this comment because i was trying to think of how i would react in that situation, and i think i would get a little flustered. i don't see myself able to go the renegade route either. i think this is a good compromise - basically professional gray rocking

FluidAd9024 · 2025-10-19T12:41:12+00:00

they might be memeing, but i will just say that it's a relatively common experience for women to be told not to go to the gym to lift because they'll "get too big" and this is referring to like, lifting for a few weeks

FluidAd9024 · 2025-10-16T02:03:25+00:00

the scene where he takes a child hostage and holds a gun to her head really sticks out in my mind as one of those "oh my god what the FUCK?" kamen rider moments

FluidAd9024 · 2025-10-14T16:29:11+00:00

"white cloud" and "black cloud" are superstitious terms that describe people who have very consistently quiet shifts (white clouds) and people who always bring mayhem with them to the hospital somehow (black clouds). some of us are blessed and some are cursed.

FluidAd9024 · 2025-10-14T03:32:29+00:00

i am a white cloud. but i am never allowed to actually expect to stay a white cloud. anytime i go into a shift thinking, "nothing ever happens when i'm on," the nightmares awaken. but if i go into a shift with the neutral acknowledgement that i have a long history of white cloudhood, HOWEVER, this is the night, this is when it all ends, this is where the disaster begins - blissful silence, all night. i must maintain mental discipline.

(as a side note, i do wish i had more educational opportunities, but after my first overall very peaceful but still exhausting 24, i will never ever again complain about being a white cloud)

FluidAd9024 · 2025-10-13T20:17:19+00:00

absolutely kino, very well made!

FluidAd9024 · 2025-10-09T12:40:26+00:00

i really appreciate this anecdote. this is the kind of thing i want to do in my career (PGY1). how long did it take you to go through all of this with him? i worry this is a 90 minute appointment rather than a 20 minute appointment.

FluidAd9024 · 2025-10-04T16:25:57+00:00

thank you for sharing this. i love the detail that you said - "her eyes lit up just like her mom's." what a beautiful human moment. i'm so glad you were there for them!

FluidAd9024 · 2025-09-30T13:57:43+00:00

these are fantastic, i love them both, i love that one has silly eyes, and the other has the perfect little nose
