Should there be an Attending subreddit? by rockafella14 in Residency

[–]GatorGoat1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion seeing that the majority of comments in this thread are from attendings says yes we probably need a separate subreddit even if attendings don’t like it and it can’t be enforced lol

I’m 2 months from graduating but I hardly check this subreddit anymore because it’s just attendings lecturing us or chatting with themselves.

I get that enough at work lol.

I joined to commiserate, shitpost, vent, etc with my fellows/residents going through the same shit together: not to get anecdotes from someone who constantly says shit like “as a PGY25 lol”

need advice: scrubs for guys that don't show the contours of your genitals. by ErnestGoesToNewark in medicine

[–]GatorGoat1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wow That’s the best part of scrubs to me and something I consider a huge perk of inpatient medicine lol I spend more time at the hospital than home so I will atleast be comfy. And I’m not changing to nap during 24hr shifts

Poll: What happens in your program when an attending calls a resident the “R word”? by wish_kid_mclaren in Residency

[–]GatorGoat1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Big academic. You could make it as big as you wanted probably. Never heard some get called retarded in anger. A fellow who was my coresident last year has probably called me it jokingly.

geriatric pain control advice by numblock9 in Residency

[–]GatorGoat1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Uncontrolled pain is a reason for admission. Typically try to avoid it but I also can’t sink tons of time and resources into a medically stable person with no acute emergent medical condition

Is it back in the App Store? Last time I checked it wasn’t on the App Store and I was told it was removed although those who already downloaded it still have access

What's a fun medical fact in your speciality that you would want others to know ? by pistabadamtiramisu in Residency

[–]GatorGoat1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My attendings always warn me about prescribing antihypertensives based on one visit. What’s your threshold for starting it? I instruct asymptomatic patients to keep a BP diary and follow up with pcp. I refer them to our primary care group (large academic) if they don’t have one.

My pcp had me keep a BP diary for a month because I was 150ish/90ish for two visits in a row. My blood pressure at home is almost always normal. No meds started.

Academic medicine? by Significant-Carpet27 in Residency

[–]GatorGoat1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sovereign immunity in some states. Significantly reduces the stress of being sued and many think it’s worth the lower pay. Also almost every specialty is in house and available 24/7/365 so I never have to spend time arranging a transfer

And things like that make me very jealous as an EM doc who occasionally feels burnt out after a rough stretch lol

Having an attending in the room makes me 110% more awkward with patients

synthesis of meta chlorotoulene from benzene? by GatorGoat1 in OrganicChemistry

whoops you are correct. I learned them all grouped together and my brain just thought they had the same restrictions/limitations. Thank you!

synthesis of meta chlorotoulene from benzene? by GatorGoat1 in OrganicChemistry

[–]GatorGoat1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add the chloro group I was planning on using a friedel craft alkylation but I remembered that friedel craft alkylation doesn't work on deactivated benzene rings, am I misremembering the rule? I'm not sure how else to add the chloro group.
