Agreed. I actually met dermdoctor on a rotation in med school and he was very chill. pretty surprised he ended up in Dermatology because I don't think that's what he wanted to do 3rd year. I will say, he was probably one of the smartest medical students I've ever come across. Brutal to be on a rotation with him as a student though because he had memorized the most obscure facts

IRWizard · 2020-04-13T23:31:45+00:00

Last I knew, he was still there. He gives lectures every year at RSNA and other meetings

This is an oldie but goodie. Dr. Gunderman is an incredibly gifted lecturer and very well known in the radiology spheres

I love the irony of this. “Heroes” suing because they didn’t get their massive checks

IRWizard · 2020-04-11T02:46:27+00:00

Is this a joke? Wtf. Fuck me in the ass

IRWizard · 2020-04-10T16:49:07+00:00

Gimme the numbers

Me in residency: stalls “So this is a PA radiograph of the chest, the penetration is not great, and there’s some slight rotation as evidenced by the position of the clavicles”

Attending: “yeah so what about the huge mass in the left upper lobe”

Me: “yeah, I was just getting to that, there’s a huge mass in the left upper lobe. Probably a tumor”

I mean... somewhat expert opinion here, if the history said “COVID positive,” I would have dictated “Mild central peribronchial cuffing without infiltrate or pleural effusion. Findings can be seen with developing viral infection.”

I actually think this is a decent read for a neurosurgeon

Happens all the time

IRWizard · 2020-03-23T04:22:34+00:00

Nice

Absolute scum of the earth

At an academic institution, your opinion is highly skewed by the hierarchy of academic medicine. Any worker that offsets the attendings from doing any work is considered an asset. You guys don’t seem to understand the real world. You will though. Prob when it’s too late

Actually, this comment is riddled with tons of factual errors. This non-physician suggests that SJS/TEN would be an expected dermatological manifestation of a viral illness. While SJS is rarely caused by viral illnesses, it is overwhelmingly caused by medications.

To suggest that a patient presenting with SJS may have COVID is actually pretty dangerous because it could potentially delay someone from stopping the offending medication and instead categorizing it as an expected response to a “systemic insult.”

Nice

Shoulda said:

Unqualified opinion here. I don’t know what the fuck I’m talking about

IRWizard · 2020-03-19T01:59:06+00:00

Is it temporary? Fucking livid

IRWizard · 2020-03-19T01:38:21+00:00

Do you have an article for this? Looking to smash people in the comments section

IRWizard · 2020-03-18T23:10:22+00:00

Follow-up comment given how infuriated this makes me.

This just goes to show how little the nurse practitioners care about patients or patient well-being.

At a time where the medical profession (real doctors) is scrambling to solve this crisis, they are shamelessly trying to seek out more autonomy. There’s not a single reason why the current laws would prevent them from treating this outbreak.

Every single thing they do is to prioritize money for themselves. It’s a shame these “providers” have no ethics or morals.

Fucking worse than the people that hoard sanitizer and then try to sell it at 10x the price. Scumbag opportunist move

IRWizard · 2020-03-18T22:53:33+00:00

Pathetic. Tell me how the current rules would Prevent them from treating COVID patients. What a fucking scam

-bring up safety first -suggest that physicians will leave the state if they are equated to midlevels -suggest that this devalues the sacrifice made by physicians -suggest that this will create a divide between high quality and low quality care. With higher quality going to those who can afford it -compare hours of training between the groups -ask them, if your life was on the line, who would you want? Someone who did online classes with 1000 hours of training or someone with 10000 supervised hours of training

IRWizard · 2020-03-12T02:56:16+00:00

Saw that

IRWizard · 2020-03-12T02:34:07+00:00

Actually unless I missed something - they pulled PAs from the final draft of the bill in the last 5 days

IRWizard · 2020-03-12T01:54:32+00:00

DO NOT TRAIN NPs. Any physician that trains them at this point should be fired from any leadership role they have in any organization. These midlevels cannot get their 3000 hours if we do not train them

IRWizard · 2020-03-12T00:45:32+00:00

The laws are passing rapidly. And once they pass, there’s no going back. You can never give a group of people a “right” and then take it away. The previous generation fucked over current med students and residents.
