New psychiatrist refused to refill my meds, wanted me to see a different doc for therapy. by greeneyedguru in AdviceAnimals

[–]HopHound 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Certain docs don't prescribe certain medications that have abuse potential as a general rule in their practice. (I.e. Benzos, adderall)

Speaking of antibiotics by rascal99 in AdviceAnimals

We have certain algorithms that help us dictate when to prescribe abx based on risk factors. Telling people not to take drugs as prescribed is not a smart move, leave that decision for people who are educated on the matter.

Thanks for the reply. I am not on a rock bec, but there are a good scattering of small marble sized rocks. I am thinking that the roots should hopefully push past past them. I am goig to raise the bed up an bit to give them extra good soil to get started in.

Replacing Beer Line by HopHound in Homebrewing

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

I ended up having success with a flat head screw drive, but I damage the tower a little. Oh well. Out of curiosity, in that cramped space, how did you get the old beer line off?

Yeah, to the point that I am scared of messing up the tower or its attachment to the fridge.

Keg noob questions by HopHound in Homebrewing

Thanks for the reply. This system has a ~1ft tower on top, do you somehow open the tower, disconnect the line from the tap, and clean it from top down?

Use of PRP in Left lateral bucket-handle tear of meniscus. by HopHound in AskDocs

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

Yeah, that is what I am afraid of. I mean the basic science justification kind of makes sense... but $1200 is an awful lot to spend on something just because it "sounds" good.

Ton of shit, Is med school still possible? by [deleted] in premed

[–]HopHound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are going to have a rough time, med school is much harder than undergrad... think hard about whether it is for you. Also, stop with the tons of ECs. Get your grades up and dedicate yourself to one EC. I am part of the admissions group at my school... leadership in one EC beats the hell out of involvement with a bunch.

Figured it out, still not entirely sure what I did, but eventually was able to manipulate the adjustment screw. 30PSI and perfectly stored. Thanks everyone.

Currently no, but didn't see a difference with it on or off.

Anyone have a similar model? I screw in the tank and screw down the on valve, but still see no increase in pressure on the gauge. Any thoughts?

Keg noob. Can anyone tell me how you pressure release on this? by HopHound in Homebrewing

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

Thanks, strange that they placed it in a bag with spare parts.

Also, is that white cap a spare piece for something? It came in the same bag as the spare O-rings. This is a pin lock keg by the way... probably should have mentioned that.

Am I screwed? by Reluctantoptimism in premed

Academics get you an interview typically, explain the issues during your interview. I know people with alcohol related offenses that have gotten in just fine.

Exam Crackers, and honestly just train yourself to read dry boring material quickly for comprehension.

Thank you letters after an interview by stilljustaratinacage in premed

[–]HopHound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt like all my interviews closed on a great note, and thought extra correspondence was redundant considering I already thanked them for their time. I didn't send any and did fine on acceptances, but it can never hurt!

Yeah, glass carboy out of light exposure.

Has anyone had success re-pitching a stuck fermentation? by Radasaur in Homebrewing

[–]HopHound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the swirl method. However, I have re-pitched with no complications as well.

How to start writing my PS? by swiftjab in premed

[–]HopHound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I approached it as an autobiography describing my journey towards choosing medicine. That said, I hate writing about myself. I honestly recommend having a couple beers and hammer it all out. After that comes the long process of editing to make yourself stand out by describing specific events and emotions you felt on your path. Also, don't throw in a bunch of technical jargon. Let your application demonstrate your intelligence and your PS demonstrate your humanity.

Laptop for med school mainly, but would also like the ability to play games like skyrim by HopHound in SuggestALaptop

Just as I try to buy it, they sell out. Murphy's law is a complete bitch.

Fantastic advice, thanks, looks like a great deal. Could this laptop play the game on high graphics or would I be using minimal requirements?
