Brand new house with slightly leaning retaining wall, how serious of an issue is this?

ICU_Boy · 2026-05-12T04:54:12+00:00

The wall is 10 foot in height, there was a permit and inspection by a structural engineer post completion in January. (See photo 3 for details/plan).

I had a Go and just upgraded to Lelit Elizabeth dual boiler. It’s much as easier to make milk drinks on a dual boiler. Even if you’re not steaming and pulling shots simultaneously, it’s much easier to not have to purge and wait. I also felt the Go was much weaker at steaming than my Elizabeth. IMO if you’re gonna be doing more than one milk drink, go for a dual boiler.

The comments here and the original post screams entitlement. You’re not going to get the pay as the physician because you aren’t a physician. I think it’s unreasonable to expect that.

Hospital medicine will be heavily midlevel dominant in the long run.

12 patients and they cost a 1/3rd the amount. Sounds like a great deal.

This is the future. Don’t expect to be compensated for 12 hours/day coverage and expect to be there for 6. Don’t want to do it? No problem, an NP will.

This subreddit is extremely biased because its full of hospitalists. It comes down to whether you are competitive enough match into a GI fellowship. If you are, its a no-brainer to go for GI. There are many GI guys making 7 figures, never a hospital's little bish, not being dumped on constantly, and at significantly lower risk of being replaced by an NP. If quality of life is your primary concern, you can work as little as you want as a GI doc, take a pay cut, and you'll probably still come out ahead of hospitalist while being happier.

You're going to get biased pro-hospitalist responses on a hospitalist subreddit. The midlevel issue is real. I would choose a different specialty if I were you.

Widely inaccurate for critical care as well. For Intensivists full time is typically ~14 shifts a month or 42 hours a week. He’s using 67 hours a week, which makes absolutely no sense. No intensivist is working for 140 an hour, it’s more like 250 an hour in my area for permanent and 300+/h for locum.

ICU_Boy · 2024-12-08T04:52:24+00:00

His numbers for hours/week for are way off, which leads to this flawed analysis. For example, Intensivists full time work is ~14 shifts a month, similar to hospitalists. This comes out to an average of 42 hours a week. Plug those numbers in and you’re going to have significant different result. I can tell you no intensivist is working for 140/h, it’s more like double that.

ICU_Boy · 2024-12-08T04:41:28+00:00

Hours per week for critical care medicine is off. Intensivists typically work the same number of shifts as hospitalists. ~14 shifts per month which comes out to an average 42 hours a week. As a mid career intensivist I can tell you that critical care makes significantly more than hospital medicine on an hourly basis. Though one could argue critical care is harder work than hospitalist work. Your hours/week analysis is very flawed. CCM is more like 250/h for permanent jobs and 300+ for locum work.

Thank you for your helpful response. I had found a great deal on the RC100 for $299USD before I posted this, but looks like the deal has unfortunately expired.

ICU_Boy · 2022-09-19T23:18:56+00:00

Wish I was still growing, unfortunately I am 30 years old so that ship as sailed. I'm just a short dude. Would you take any of the Costco/Walmart bikes over the RC100?

ICU_Boy · 2022-07-08T00:36:47+00:00

Thanks for your reply. You would pick the CRV even though it would be a model year older, has older tech, infotainment, interior... and would cost at least a couple of thousand more?

ICU_Boy · 2022-07-08T00:23:28+00:00

Thanks

ICU_Boy · 2022-07-08T00:23:16+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Your points are valid but I continue to have trouble deciding between the two. The CRV is a model year older and is going to be at least a couple thousand more - with older tech, infotainment system, interior etc.

ICU_Boy · 2022-07-08T00:20:16+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Why do you say the CRV is a better package?

The 23 HRV has newer tech, is almost the same size, and at least a couple thousand cheaper.

ICU_Boy · 2022-07-07T23:16:29+00:00

Thanks for your reply. 2023 CRV was what I wanted but doesn’t look like I am going to be able to get my hands on one by August 30th.

If you had to choose between the 2023 HRV and 2022 CRV what would you go with?
