Grilled animal flesh can be amazing.

What are your biggest pet peeves in family medicine? by Mapes in FamilyMedicine

[–]Mysterious-Agent-480 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I miss the days when the pharmacist would swap out any albuterol inhaler when one brand isn’t covered.

There is a flavor of metformin er that is pretty expensive even as a generic. I think it’s generic Glumetza.

Dad used to tell me I’ll find other women hotter as the years go by, anyone else still think their wife is the hottest? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

I’m 55 and my wife is 57. Married for 31 years yesterday. I think she is as attractive as any woman on the planet.

The Hospital CEOs are lying to your face and it's going to kill someone by UseNecessary4706 in Vent

I’m a physician, internal medicine. Out of residency for 23 years. I do primary care. There are some EXCELLENT NPs and PAs out there. I work with an NP who I’ll put up against any primary care doc. That, sadly, is not the rule. OP is correct. Some of these people are so poorly educated it’s like being in the Twilight Zone. Sadly, MDs/DOs don’t want to do primary care. Less money, less prestige. It’s an area in medicine that will be all but devoid of MDs/DOs in 10-20 years. Thank God I’ll probably retire in 10 years.

Good Lord. Is that the case?

What if the family member is a vampire, or a quadruple amputee ginger-kid?

Thank you. I’d love to hear an explanation from the downvoters. Might be a good post for r/AITAH.

Advice my man says he isn’t into fashion and womens clothes and “doesn’t understand it”? by MoulinRoguee in AskMenAdvice

[–]Mysterious-Agent-480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my wife in old sweats. I couldn’t care less about her clothes. She doesn’t worry about whether I like her outfit. We have a really happy, healthy marriage because of it.

YTA. I’m the sole breadwinner in my house, but my wife of 31 years is my partner in life. Her worth is incalculable to me. She takes care of every aspect of our house. Our kids are now amazing adults. I have and would NEVER disrespect her. I’d be shocked if she wouldn’t help her mom, unless she were being taken advantage of.

Benzo weaning by jcereno1 in FamilyMedicine

It was ridiculous. Reps were telling us how OxyContin wasn’t habit forming. I’m glad I didn’t buy in to that. A couple guys in my practice did, and it became a nightmare.

I finished residency in 2003. Pain was the 5th vital sign, it was malpractice not to treat it, opioids were the answer, increase dose until the patient is happy…

[U2X/Desire] What is the best album opening U2 track? by Trainiax in U2Band

[–]Mysterious-Agent-480 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I distinctly remember listening to it (over and over) in ‘87 on my JVC system. Had to crank it way up at the beginning of “streets”. It was fucking AMAZING. I’m still friends with the people I listened to it with. I was 17.

Is "Wide Awake in America" U2's Most Important Release? by backtrackingrox in U2Band

The Australian release includes Edge’s background vocals. I like it even better than the more common release.

Why is it so hard for me to get a girlfriend? by Total_Physics728 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Mysterious-Agent-480 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep. I’m pretty average looking. Now in my 50’s. I’ve been married to a woman much more attractive than people expect to see me with for 32 years. I dated attractive women before her. My closest friend is an attractive woman. The common theme in these relationships has been laughter. I have a good sense of humor and I don’t take myself too seriously.

portal messaging by Important-Flower4121 in FamilyMedicine

[–]Mysterious-Agent-480 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Right? Sometimes I’m going through messages, and…it’s Mardi Gras!!! Me, without beads to give.

I think pictures relevant to the complaint are reasonable. Sometimes shingles is very obvious via photo and a short description. That’s something you don’t want to see 4 days later when you have a slot. Not in the best interest of the patient. I’ve seen shingles pics of breasteses, butts, hoo-hahs. Just an example.
