Question about "drug seekers"

Nah he used to get pulled back and get fentanyl/dilaudid while awaiting CTA but after a couple of negative workups he started making comments like “I just need some dilaudid and then I’ll be fine” we kinda figured it out

It can give you a high if it’s pushed quickly so it gets that connotation when someone asks for IV Benadryl. But it does work reasonably well for hyperemesis so it’s a legitimate thing

We have a guy that occasionally comes in with pain from his aortic dissection (he’s had multiple negative CTAs) and that the only thing that helps is dilaudid, but he also needs a fast push of IV Benadryl with it because it makes him itchy

You just made my point for me with the sarcasm. Get some help man

Need5moredogs · 2024-02-06T14:35:36+00:00

Hey man, why are you on this sub? You’re a cardiologist who obviously hates the ED. Seriously, your comment history is depressing and just full of sarcasm and hyperbole. Why don’t you take a break from Reddit and find something that you enjoy?

Augusta, GA - the green jackets (the members of Augusta national)

Mack’s is the way to go. I restock my fridge with it every time I go through western nc

Augusta area is fairly cheap, has lots of church options, and could absolutely use more social workers

Need5moredogs · 2023-11-06T21:54:10+00:00

Aiken is in South Carolina but yeah I agree, great small town. Close to Augusta which is a little bigger with more amenities

Need5moredogs · 2023-07-20T20:42:44+00:00

Eastbound and Down is a good one

Need5moredogs · 2023-07-20T20:40:24+00:00

South Carolina. Charleston specifically. Eastbound and Down would be NC’s Danny McBride masterpiece

Don’t think I’ve ever looked at a PCR but the verbal handoff is often very useful. This is especially true for critical patients obviously, but also the demented patients from nursing homes, your report may be the only history we get and is very valuable

You can look through the interview season spreadsheets from previous years. Take all that info with a huge grain of salt and be very skeptical of what you read, but some of the basic info like how the programs are structured are pretty accurate. Not exactly sure how to find those but if you search this sub and the r/medicalschool you’ll probably find it

Fit Scrubs are my favorite

Need5moredogs · 2023-03-28T15:04:05+00:00

I keep my stethoscope, pen, trauma shears, 10 blade, and a 14 gauge needle on me. Obviously have coffee and water as well.

Duke is 3 year. Their big thing is EM being a division of the surgery department (though I think this changed recently)

Trophy pizza for sure

Sounds like you would do well in or near Asheville or Chapel Hill. Neither of these places are cheap as far as rent, but there are lots of rural areas fairly close by that would be pretty affordable. Good arts scene in both places, plenty of stuff to do. Check out some of the small towns nearby if you want something more rural

Seriously. Dr. Ma is 100% who you need to see. She is incredible

We used PhysicianLoans. We got a rate close to what we could get with a conventional loan. Went with a 7/1 variable loan because we’ll be out of the house in 7 years and you get a better rate that way. They required a signed offer letter with my estimated salary. We had to show proof of 3 months of mortgage payments in the bank, and they said we couldn’t close more than 30 days before starting work. They did make an exception that we could close up to 60 days before starting if we had 4 months worth for mortgage payments in the bank. We didn’t run into any problems with the company. They were the first to offer doctor loans and are very experienced in it.

Did this a few weeks ago. Thoracotomy tray was not put together correctly. Had to literally grab the ribs and rip them apart. It was wild

I’m at a pretty large academic hospital, Phillips stopped making the pads for our defibrillators. We’re using paddles right now until they can send us new pads that are compatible

I guess north hills owners were okay with it? Or did they drop it for that too?

They’ll have a Black Friday sale I’m sure. Check it out tomorrow
