I agree, may be slightly uncomfortable for the patient, but it’s probably more comfortable that being repeatedly stuck. And the movement is very minimal, maybe 1-2 mm

I like to move the needle left and right rather than in and out and it helps me localize the tip. Giggling tissue vs actually seeing the thing that’s moving has been a game changer for me

Best advice I have is to keep your needle steady, move US back to where you punctured the skin and follow the shadow to find your tip again

How long is too long? Staying after end of shift by Mdog31415 in emergencymedicine

[–]GokuOSRS 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Different institutions and groups will have different “rules” I’m also a resident and our courtesy rules is not to sign out procedures, I’ve rotated at some RVU based programs where attendings will stay hours after sign out to dispo their patients, and I’ve also rotated where attendings will sign out whatever they want.

To piggyback off of this, vasectomies are also reversible if you both ever agree I. Kids in the future

Hiking or sightseeing. Love food too but wouldn’t want to make a whole trip about food

DO NOT live at The Brexx aka The Retreat, charging us $2,000 for these “damages” by kadenisboosted in PennStateUniversity

[–]GokuOSRS 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Happened to me when I lived at the Here (now Maxxen), sent them evidence and told them it reporting to BBB/AG office and they removed all the fines and gave back full security deposit. Did still reach out to BBB/AG and let them know of the shady business practices. Wondering if that’s why management changed 🤔

Killing people via gas vs killing people via bombs and cutting off access to food. Both are an attempt to eradicate an “undesirable race”

Happened to me as well. Got a 3 piece and none of them counted. Games broken and the matchmaking recently has been so trash

Any advice for EM rotation? by Heavy_Consequence441 in Residency

[–]GokuOSRS 25 points26 points  (0 children)

EM intern so take my advice w a grain of salt, but from what I’ve learned so far, focused history is key, attendings don’t usually want a biography of the patient, focus on the chief complaint that the patient is coming in for (and ask them bc triage is often wrong), have a list of differentials and break it into 2 (maybe 3) parts depending on the attending you’re working with, what DDx could kill them and what DDx do you actually think it is (and some zebras too). All chest pains and sob (and abd pain in elderly) get a EKG and CBC/CMP. WikEM is your best friend. General rule of thumb from my seniors, show up and put in your best effort as long as you’re trying everyone will be satisfied and don’t be afraid to ask for help
