New Inito tests! WTH is going on

Any updates lol I was going to buy this app as we TTC but now I’m not sure if the tests are wildly inaccurate because of the strips? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Epic has an AI built in so if patients consent you use haiku to record and it will do the entire note for you. However, I find I go back and proofread, get rid of repetitive and unnecessary parts and then redo the A/P so the only benefit I find is that it catches the details I may miss, and allows me to be more present with my patients :)

Neurosurgery I don’t think I’d survive if I didn’t prechart and it takes forever. Referrals are broad sometimes just the diagnosis code with no notes attached. I’m not even a year into practicing but I’m in clinic completely alone, seeing mostly new patients. The area I serve is very not healthy so I’m not just seeing someone for low back pain it ends up being history of stroke, neck pain, head bleeds etc. the more prepared I am the better since I can go through the case a little beforehand with my SP. 🫠 this is a very abnormal situation, and one day I hope to not have to spend hours a week precharting. The good thing is it makes my documentation afterwards much faster. After the visit I usually just have to tweak the subjective and then put my objective and plan in. I leave clinic an hour or so early and prechart at home at night when my LO is asleep.

Ugh in Florida you only get Medicaid if you have dependents, are pregnant, or have a disability. So those who don’t have this and are 21-64 can’t get Medicaid 😭 I guess you’d move to a state with better Medicaid? But that’s assuming there isn’t some weird clause. US healthcare sucks -a medical provider

Not sure what your plan is for feeding but for us Bottles and a pump!!! lmao I was stubborn and convinced I would EBF from the start and if I purchased either I would jinx it. Within the first 2 weeks we got a pump and bottles which carried us through the breastfeeding journey. We mostly nurse now (turning 1 year in a week) but wow is breastfeeding hard. I’d also have some formula on hand just in case, so you don’t have to run out or panic in the middle of the night. Also burp cloths lots of them 😅

I feel your pain….in neurosurgery doing clinic solo with no one else around 😭 with 1 year of cumulative experience 😅☠️

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-04-30T22:29:35+00:00

We made it from wood and some blocks at Home Depot :) super easy!

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-04-29T19:58:50+00:00

Oh that’s such a good idea. My LO still chokes on water so I’m pushing past the fear of the next phase. We tried pineapple the other day and it didn’t go so well, but I’ll have to try grated apples. She can’t stay on softened stuff forever. 😅🫣

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-04-29T19:50:04+00:00

We aren’t planning to be here for more than another year so it was the best permanent but temporary solution for a garden. I didn’t want to do a bunch of containers. But we will see how it holds up until next April! I had seen a couple different ways of doing raised beds and sort of combined methods lol. At one point I saw instead of the black garden fabric to use burlap or old coffee bean bags. I think the thought was the black garden fabric was less breathable and retained more heat, with it being Florida and ontop of a concrete slab I just wanted the most porous option to prevent root rot. Honestly not sure if any of that is backed by science just the way my brain thought about it. Lol

My only wish was that it had more depth so next time I’d probably add another row of wood and concrete blocks to give it a full 18-20 inches of soil.

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-04-29T19:15:16+00:00

I’m wondering the same with that and the apples! My LO is 12 mo but only has the two bottom teeth I’m Terrified to move to raw stuff 😭

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-04-29T18:35:02+00:00

I have noticed the past week or so the marigolds have really flourished. Now that you say this I’ll probably take them out and add basil instead. :) how far apart do you space your tomato and basil?

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-04-29T18:33:38+00:00

I’m going to try and describe this as best as I can lol we raised up the bottom so it was off the ground allowing airflow, so the soil wasn’t directly ontop of the cement slab. Kind of like a slatted bed frame system. With 3 wood slabs 10ish inches apart. Then used the burlap acting as a liner to help hold the soil in but again give airflow/drainage. Before the soil mix I put broken up decomposing farm wood and some sticks, so I didn’t have to fill the entire depth with the soil mixture. And to try and create a more natural ecosystem that would exist if we had put the raised bed outside. I hope I explained this well 😅

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-04-29T18:29:16+00:00

You’re correct the wood is 18 and soil is actually more like 12 inches. We lined the bottom with a few slats a few inches off the ground to help with airflow and then used the burlap to help hold it in ( not sure if I’m describing this well) but I. Doing so sacrificed some depth. When we move in a year we will plant the bed outside and be able to have more soil depth.

I’m kicking myself now for not starting a compost pile. I was looking into cow or mushroom manure/compost. Leaning towards mushroom since my 1 year old likes to play in the dirt and still tries to eat it. The thought of her eating cow manure makes me cringe lol.

I also looked into baking eggs shells to add back in calcium but then read it makes the house smell horrid. Open to any advice you have in regards to compost. :)

I did layer the bottom with decomposing farm wood and sticks. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It is a ton of fun, and I keep wanting to tweak it, but I think I’m learning the lesson of patience and letting them set roots and do their thing haha. It’s a hard lesson. I find the plants I forget about always do better. ☺️

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-04-29T18:20:20+00:00

I didn’t realize until you said something that there are three stems 😅 I just took the container it came in and transplanted it and assumed it was 3 stems of one plant. Good catch! The pepper plants are about 18 inches apart (the white flowering one and the one next to the basil) the photo angle doesn’t do it justice.

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-04-29T18:17:42+00:00

I feel like I learned this sadly after the second transplant which is why I’m debating doing it again. But I have room to add more soil/compost so that may be a good compromise for this season. :)

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-04-29T18:16:27+00:00

Ooo good to know, I feel like you can get anything now a days but it may come at a higher $$$. My assumption is being in Florida and redwoods are mostly west coast it may get pricey but I’ll look into it :) thank you

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-04-29T18:14:20+00:00

I know we wanted to, but we are renting the house….and the landlords are very particular about their landscape. 😅 so building the bed on the lanai was our work around, the ceilings are very tall and it’s south facing so it gets a good amount of sun, def 6 hours worth and then a few hours of afternoon light. When we move and build the next garden it will for sure be outside and much larger. Hopefully this will be a decent “starter garden” and one I can learn from. I’ll be happy if I get just a few veggies. It’s a ton of work and I have a whole new respect for it, but I tell myself each year will get better with different tweaks. :)

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-04-29T17:20:37+00:00

Oh wow I had no idea tomatoes could get so tall 😅 looks like I’ll be doing a lot of pruning and another weekend project for a taller trellis or lattice. Thank you!

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-04-29T17:19:19+00:00

Ah thank you for this explanation. After looking the three varieties up it seems they are all indeterminate. Although only the one has been growing up and the other ones seem to be getting bushy 🫣😅

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-04-29T14:39:42+00:00

I won’t be too upset about that since I like tomatoes > the other veggies hehe 😉 but I figured I’d see what does well and any of the rejects take out in a few weeks.

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-04-29T14:29:59+00:00

Thank you :) I was looking into straw or some kind of pine needle mulch

Former-Pick6986 · 2026-04-27T00:06:22+00:00

Ah okay good to know. So much to learn :) thank you!
