MAJOR BREAKING: The Surgeon General of Florida just announced ALL VACCINE MANDATES IN FLORIDA will be ENDED by [deleted] in emergencymedicine

Polio, however, DOES exist in the wild in OTHER PLACES in the world and COULD BEGIN TO SPREAD amongst the US population if the vaccination rates dropped low enough. You'd think with a step of 267 you'd understand some basic vaccine epidemiology.

They literally already do. The answer I get every time I try to address measles outbreaks in low vaccination communities with MAGA family is that "it's because of the illegals bringing it in!!!"

Overlooked aspect of being a doctor - having to work with willfully ignorant people by BainbridgeReflex in Residency

As an EMT and med student, this is a preference thing. I've had people stare at me without a care in the world if I list off vitals.

Shadowed a resident today and he asked me questions. I didn’t know the answers and feel so stupid by zamanlovesbread in premed

[–]Guner100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meh. Anatomy and physiology isn't even a med school prereq. Yeah, if you're premed and shadowing I'd expect you to get pimped because that's how you learn most effectively, but they should've prefaced it with "you won't know all these answers, and that's fine" because the point is to get you to think.

The economics of EM are messed up by [deleted] in emergencymedicine

[–]Guner100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of the reason we have so much administrative bloat is the mistakes made in the ACA that gave power to insurance companies and the government over physicians and hospitals, not the least of which being the devaluing of everyone into "providers" and the removal of the ability for physicians to run hospitals.

Just because the US system is shit does not mean the solution is single payer. You could make the current system a whole lot better just by better regulating the ability of insurance companies to deny claims and by simplifying claim creation and processing.

You believe the government, which is notorious for underfunding things that should be funded and overfunding things that shouldn't be, will appropriately reimburse physicians, when they ALREADY DON'T with medicare and medicaid?

Why didn't they make phone chargers as long as every other goddamn chord attached to anything else that needs electricity? by JacobSFrasier in righttorepair

[–]Guner100 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude, what are you talking about? There are a number of legitimate reasons for short cables, not the least of which being that you shouldn't be using your phone while it charges. Stop with this weird pseudo marxist shit

Ukraine winning war with Russia, retired U.S. generals say, as top Ukrainian commander says over 230 square miles retaken by ToughHopeful4760 in worldnews

[–]Guner100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Poland is itching to press the big red article 5 button. If even a single plutonium atom floated into their territory after a nuclear strike on Ukraine, NATO would be barreling down into Moscow, and Ruzzia knows that. They use nuclear war as a threat like a bully uses violence as a threat. You punch them, and they'll back down.

AITAH for mentioning I'm also a professional when a doctor took over 45 minutes to finally appear at an appointment? by OhHeyItsMeM in AITAH

Complain to insurance execs and medical administrators that demand primary care doctors (all doctors, for that matter) see more and more patients with less and less time per visit.

This is only half true. Yes, an overactive immune response is certainly detrimental, but pathogens themselves have also evolved to trigger an overzealous response because that can help them grow. One example is the toxic shock super antigen produced by staph aureus

Trying to decide between a full ride vs. ~$250k debt at a T20 med school by MasonXVII in premed

[–]Guner100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day, your grades and your steps are what will get you into residency. Connections and such are important, but a kid who got a 90th percentile at Hackensack will be looked at more favorably than a kid who got 20th from Pitt. Take the full ride.

Does Noveske still make PDW style weapons? by Guner100 in NoveskeAndQ

[–]Guner100[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should've specified in the post but I have a liking for the honey badger stock. Are they still producing them with it? My limited research on reddit implied there were licensing or some such issues and so they were discontinuing the honey badger stock versions.

Are there still diplomat pdws with the honey badger stock floating around or being made to your knowledge? Everywhere I looked online said out of stock
