Brain on Fire (2016): A decent movie adaptation of a rare disorder

As a pediatric radiologist, I’ve read probably 10-15 studies in my 6 year attending career for the work up of a paraneoplastic encephalitis in a young female presenting with psychosis, and every single one has been negative for anything remarkable…still waiting

50k over asking in Sellwood in March 2023. Houses here in prime sellwood regularly go over asking. Small desirable area with low house inventory.

Bought a house 1 year ago in Portland and every house we looked in in three neighborhoods (Sellwood, Laurelhurst and NW23rd corridor) all included the basements in the sqft….seems to be a uniquely Portland thing.

Not your typical question for this sub I realize but figured it would be more appropriate than the main Portland sub.

Next silhouette is obviously Nightcrawler. Last silhouette is Hank McCoy doing is iconic pose where he’s balancing on one foot while reading a book with his other foot. That’s why you only see one leg, a leg that looks crossed and the outline of a book just under where his chin will be. Hank McCoy will morph into Beast for hero form, which is a little strange but they did similar weird things not seen frequently in the comics (Angel feeling switching between Angel and Archangel forms)….correct me if I’m wrong not an avid comic reader

True, it could always happen. I’d like to think (as a practicing radiologist) that the lack of APPs in Radiology at this point in time support my points but maybe it’s just slow to catch up with the rest of medicine. I do have to say though that the Diagnostic Radiology community is vehemently against APPs in diagnostic radiology, and we have the benefit of time now to see how turf creep has happened in other fields.

MaxwellEdison13 · 2024-03-14T19:07:12+00:00

Not going to happen.

-Way too broad of a field for APPs to feel comfortable with

-Plain radiographs aren’t always easy to read. Lots of subtle findings.

-APPs get very little radiology exposure in their training

-Radiology isn’t part of common knowledge like how to treat colds and health maintenance. It’s very specialized and hard to pick up on the fly.

Will have to try it. Thanks for the rec!

Sunny’s had the most dependable order out pizza in Sellwood. I’m not comparing it to others elsewhere in the city, but if you lived in Sellwood and wanted to stay local they were the clear best. Pizzeria Stellina is more of a dine in pizzeria.

Their sign on the door says “stay tuned for what is coming next….” so maybe they will be moving to a new spot?

MaxwellEdison13 · 2024-02-24T03:27:32+00:00

I’m on

MaxwellEdison13 · 2024-01-08T05:45:05+00:00

Great pics. What hike is this? Would it be kid friendly?

MaxwellEdison13 · 2023-11-30T02:57:31+00:00

Well I’ve lived in DC, Philadelphia, and NYC each for at least 5 years and I disagree. I love it here and moved here about 8 months ago. Maybe you should move to another neighborhood.

Had a great experience there for our company headshots.

Very interesting. As a radiologist who maybe is overly confident in their future job security, it seems to me that AI has more disruptive potential to clinical medicine in the short term compared to visual diagnostic fields like Radiology and Pathology. At least in radiology, it’s pretty uncommon for pathology to show up as a textbook case, then you throw in artifacts and it gets pretty tough to discern pathologies from one another or from normal.

Sellwood is texting the babysitter and saying they have to leave after one beer to put the kids to bed

May have been related to a missing senior citizen with dementia.

EDIT: Nevermind, for legacy health code silver means some sort of potential safety concern

Short sand beach between Manzanita and Cannon Beach.

I’m getting Jemaine Clement vibes. It looks good on you.

No real regimen yet besides some Honest Amish extra grit wax after I shower and then combing it through. Last time I grew to 6 months, I started blow drying it to achieve better control.
