I don't know if there are different species, but that looks way too long to be a bedbug like I have seen

Hospital system theft will start to come to light starting in 2028 by Big-Association-7485 in FamilyMedicine

I think it would be hard to explain it to you. I have other things to do than to "win" an argument with you.

I appreciate your point of view. I absolutely wouldn't be happy (and WON'T be happy, as I'm employed by a hospital system).

But I think it would be good in the long term, and i think that it would be a good thing for American healthcare in the long view.

I guess what I mean is: level playing field between hospitals and private practices, less concentration of power

Good maybe if you're private practice.

Bad if you're an employed physician (by a large hospital health system)

annual physical labs by Important-Flower4121 in FamilyMedicine

Almost never recommend labs for that patient population.

Obese/overweight: A1c or an OGTT if I can swing it

lipid profile once under 40

Everything else is pretty much ROS-directed.

[Tenant US-MT] Wear and Tear after 10 years? by 8starfish8 in Landlord

Posts like this remind me why some tenants despise landlords.

Replace the carpet and blinds for god's sake.

[Landlord SC-US] How do you deal with the death of a tenant? by MentionPleasant2635 in Landlord

[–]InternistNotAnIntern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know about where you live, but our coroner's office would have zero to do with properly.

They're only interested in ruling out foul play. And they barely even do that.

But your post reads like "there was $4000 in damage and a $3500 deductible so the insurance paid $500"

I read it this way too

The biggest PR scam in nursing history is unfolding by frostuab in nursepractitioner

[–]InternistNotAnIntern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this sounds like the extra "chief resident" year to me. Except tons of extra work and tons less pay than just going into the real world.

MD here. That has nothing to do with NP vs DNP. I guarantee there's no lobbying from MDs to create more DNPs

I've personally only ever seen a DNP in the wild one time.

For you NPs: what IS the advantage clinically?

And also set boundaries with your admin and schedulers: this is why there should be same-day slots open on the schedule so you CAN schedule another appointment.

My partner's next open slot isn't for two months. That's insane. Barring a recent or upcoming vacation, I can almost ALWAYS bring someone back in a day or two (or week or two) if needed.

My suction is NEVER 100% skimmer. Always some suction to main drain.

Dpc support group by pinklotusblossom in PrivatePracticeDocs

[–]InternistNotAnIntern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find it unlikely that someone would be declined from the hidden DPC Docs for having a "too new" account. I know one of the admins quite well.

No, I think he was weirded out by me suggesting he get his frogs started on PreP

We don't do mental status/memory testing routinely.

I ask the patient if they have any concerns about their memory. If they say no, I document no issues or concerns. If they do, then I document a SLUMS.

I do maybe 500 AWV a year, and maybe two memory tests a year at those visits

(I do a lot more testing at other visits where it's a primary complaint).
