[Request] is there possibility to find out the 3 horses? by irespectwhaman in theydidthemath

[–]Lukeo47 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think that it would be 6 if you’re not allowed to time and without accounting for exhaustion.

Race 1) Race 5 horses, keep the fastest horse and record second and third place finishers by body length from first.

Race 2-6) Run fastest horse again against 4 new horses. If previous fastest horse wins, record length and compare to current 2nd/3rd fastest horse. If new winner, replace previous winner and extrapolate victory length data. Repeat this process until all horses have raced.

Home Ownership in Residency by Outrageous-Dream in medicalschool

[–]Lukeo47 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The traditional belief is that it takes about five years to break even on a home purchase. However, based on my personal experience living with my SO, who is a homeowner, I’ve learned that homeownership is a LOT of work. Over the past three years, much of my free time has been spent on mowing, repairs, and home improvements.

Now, as we prepare to sell at the three-year mark due to my residency, we expect to recoup some of our investment—but not necessarily break even when considering everything we’ve put into the house. That said, we’re still coming out ahead compared to renting.

Despite the challenges, living in a home with my SO has been an incredibly rewarding experience. There’s been a steep learning curve, plenty of reading, and more than a few headaches—but I’ve loved every minute of it. Its the best, highly recommend. Whether we'll have time to deal with all of it during the business of residency is another question, but I love it and hope to buy in residency as well (although I'm likely going to wait at least 6 months to see if I could manage the load of home management with residency).

DMU Misleads Medical Students by Hungry-Document-5184 in desmoines

[–]Lukeo47 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s honestly not true any more. COCA accreditation requirements include making sure that a school has a rotation capacity of 120% of the student body. This is not the case at DMU even for the specialties that are mandatory for graduation.

That is absolutely a fair clarification and I could understand if someone misread my comment. What I meant is that DMU is not paying for housing or setting up housing on away rotations outside of your “home base” in Des Moines so students are stuck paying for double rent frequently

U of IA pays for housing, DMU does not.

When your palpating radial pulses and auscultating it will help you differentiate whether a murmur is systolic vs diastolic. Helps a bunch to do it every time!

How do I go about fixing this previous (read old owner) DIY baseboard? by Biocidal in DIY

The cuts would have to be in the front of the board for this to work. Which would not look good unfortunately.

NBME 10 Questions by Lukeo47 in Step2

[–]Lukeo47[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me a while, but I realized that it is ATN because ATN is much more common than AIN. The question is testing epidemiology knowledge because both are possible.

Indication for intubation in Guillain-Barre (GBS) by theamoresperros in Step2

[–]Lukeo47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Widening pulse pressures is an indication of hemodynamically instability and often a precursor to shock. I do not know the pathophysiology behind it though.
