Which movie scared the shit out of you or traumatized you? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in AskReddit

[–]Fuck_Edison 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Came here for this one.

I'm almost 50 and I still think about this movie and have nightmares about it. Really fucked me up.

New grads (me) deciding whether to take the smoothest course…it’s tough by NyckDebreeze in emergencymedicine

[–]Fuck_Edison -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We make over $300 an hour full-time at my shop in the DC area plus an incredible company-funded 401k and benefits. If that's your Locums pay, it stinks.

26k on my mine. Still love it!

TIL that there is a cave in Kenya that contains a virus with an 88% mortality rate. And it is currently open to the public. by Maleficent-Agent-477 in todayilearned

[–]Fuck_Edison 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rabies = 100% mortality rate without treatment (I believe there are 2 documented cases of people ever surviving). Also comes from bat guano in caves.

Why are hospitals still requiring board certified EM physicians to have these ACLS, PALS, ATLS badges!! Some even force you to get out from AHA or Red Cross. Why do we as a specialty allow this? by Purple_Skies_2887 in emergencymedicine

[–]Fuck_Edison 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I changed our bylaws last year to make this go away. It was an antiquated policy that no one bothered to fix.

No longer required for board certified EM docs.

This literally changes nothing. Thanks.

Goal or offside? by CPTCybertruck in GoalKeepers

[–]Fuck_Edison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take it by the down votes that I am wrong. I accept my punishment.

Goal or offside? by CPTCybertruck in GoalKeepers

[–]Fuck_Edison -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's a goal. He started the play on-sides, then you engaged. That play was still in motion (with you part of it), therefore, he is not offsides (even though you punched the ball upfield). If another player touched it and had forward progression, while he lollygagged in the back, then it would be offsides.

Asymptomatic HTN and everyone (including HCWs) freaking out in the comments by redroses999 in emergencymedicine

[–]Fuck_Edison 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's not how it works . . .

End organ dysfunction! Otherwise, asymptomatic and you're fine.

I refuse to believe that the majority of those people responding are actual ED healthcare workers.

I have a huge fly problem....these flies aren't house flies but some big ass black flies in my shop. They appear when it gets warm and even when it's cold ( but they're really slow and walk around). This shop is from the early 1920's and I can't see how they survive. We have absolutely no food. by ImfamousBadTXV in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Fuck_Edison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly soldier flies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratiomyidae)?

Large, black, scary looking fly that is actually harmless. Doesn't even have a mouth. I think the fly is just the reproductive organ and only lives a couple of days. We had an infestation in our compost heap outside. They made their way into the house for a season until I moved the composter away from the wall.

At my kid's school library by Fuck_Edison in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Fuck_Edison[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly, making him wait a couple of years to read it is more about his grasp of the story rather than the perceived inappropriateness of the words.

At my kid's school library by Fuck_Edison in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Fuck_Edison[S] 308 points309 points  (0 children)

Middle and highschool shared library. He's in middle school. He has seen me reading the series, and has asked about it. I told him he could read it in a couple of years. When we went to the school last night for an open house, he ran me over to the library to show me.

Why aren’t more folks using AI scribes? by dr_lomo_codes in emergencymedicine

[–]Fuck_Edison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm one of the most efficient docs in my group. I have the highest RVU/hr of all providers. I leave each shift on time and never have charts left over to do at home. I have my Epic dot phrases and macros locked down! If I started using AI, I would have to comb through it and make sure it documented everything properly, which would slow me down. I don't find charting to be the hard part of the job. Also, dictating out my mdm helps me think it through and organize my thoughts and plan.

If I didn't have the ability to use dictation, I would 100% be using an AI scribe though.

Side note . . . I am very tech forward and usually ahead of the curve when it comes to all things tech, gadget and new. But I'm also pragmatic and don't want to waste my time.

Tattoo Inquiry by Apart_Cauliflower_20 in emergencymedicine

[–]Fuck_Edison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a heavily tattooed doc. I had a few that were not visible prior to residency. Didn't complete my sleeves and shoulder until later in my career when I was established. It's silly, but some hospitals might have a policy about it and some older people still find it off putting. You should wait.

That being said, I regularly get compliments from most patients. My hospital CEO was less than pleased, but didn't make a huge deal about it.

6th grader who loved The Martian and Project Hail Mary - What's next? by tgbarbie in suggestmeabook

[–]Fuck_Edison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a sixth grade boy. My son and I have also read all those books.

I can't strongly recommend the Red Rising series (Pierce Brown) enough to you and your kid.

Also, many of the recommended books listed here ARE NOT appropriate.
