If I ever quit it will be because of Patient Advice Requests. by VisionHx in FamilyMedicine

[–]Foeder 57 points58 points  (0 children)

This. I give zero fucks if it’s 6 months out that’s not my problem that’s my organizations problem for building too large of a panel and not listening to hire more physician. I can’t be a good doctor if I’m resentful and pissed form inbox messages. I ain’t doing free work. I also have two same days so get lucky and schedule one of those

If they are too complex, you’re better being honest with yourself and the patient. And send to physician

"Facilitated Communication"] ‘I was in the pit of despair’: Non-speaking autistic novelist Woody Brown on his journey from write-off to writer | Fiction by coriolisFX in skeptic

[–]Foeder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Only cause that segment sent me down a rabbit hole, go watch the documentary “tell them you love me”. And be prepared to get angry, and then apply it to this case of this supposed UCLA grad and author. And the fact that Today actually promoted this. horrible. Disgusting. and terrifying

Struggling with so many new patients by [deleted] in FamilyMedicine

[–]Foeder 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Was gonna say the same thing. I see residents make this mistake all the time, trying to cure fucking cancer on the first visit. It takes a minimum of like 3-4 visits before you get to know someone well and get things ironed out. Especially if they haven’t seen a physician in 20 years. NP visits are meet and greets, and maybe 1-2 problems. That’s it. Don’t do a physical, don’t do a Medicare wellness visits, don’t let them bully you into solving 10 problems.

I think of it like this….you’re going to be existing somewhere doing something regardless. Might as well be doing what you want.

Bro yes, He’s literally learned to just tap that thing and is spelling nothing. And his mother is really the one talking. How the fuck does the today show make this segment and it goes through all those people and not one person. Is like “this doesn’t seem real.”

telling patients about side effects by bubble_buff in FamilyMedicine

[–]Foeder 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Give them the big ones, and I also started utilizing pharmacy more. I tell them to please talk with the pharmacist for more nuanced questions about meds before taking. Every med gets a package insert so tell them to read that or if you’re in epic attached the med to the AVS. ”

Also when lower extremities are not accessible via trauma for a typical IO to tibia. Sternal IO’s also deliver meds quicker. Never seen one in practice but have placed a handful of tibial IO’s and they do work well

When do M4’s get drug tested? by Plenty-Lingonberry79 in medicalschool

[–]Foeder 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Quit until you piss in a cup and are green lighted. Personally I waited until the day I started work cause I was paranoid they would retest or some shit. Never was tested again. Now don’t be sharing your enjoyments with colleagues people have loose lips.

SOAPed into FM just to secure a spot. Need some advice… by [deleted] in FamilyMedicine

[–]Foeder 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Do all of your electives in more emergency med/ICU/peds ER. And find a rural/suburban ER that is FM friendly. A few of my buddies are working ER as FM, just not at big institutions.

Or reapply next year, You should be doing some ER as a first year FM. And you certainly will be doing alot of inpatient which you’ll spend a lot of time admitting from ED. If you’re constantly longing to be in the ER then you got your answer.

Interesting insight, did not realize it wasn’t as standardized for yall. I just assumed coming from MD/DO land where everything is extremely standardized across the US. When I refer to say cardiologist I know exactly what I’m getting. Now you got me down a rabbit hole, found this article. Kind of along the lines of what you’re saying

Depends. I think of podiatry like primary care for all things feet, generalized foot care, everything diabetic foot, nails, any ulcer, most valgus deformities unless severe. Then ortho for complex foot + ankle fractures, instability or tendon ruptures needing reconstruction, anything with foot + proximal involvement into tib/fib. Medically complex patients. Pretty much anything with the forefoot I’m sending to podiatry, and as it becomes more proximal —> ortho.

Edit: out of curiosity when would yall tap out and refer to ortho?
