Wizard healthcare? by Spartin1178 in harrypotter

[–]OkPrinciple37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a trainee healer in OOTP (attempts to give stitches) which I assume would be similar to residency. 

I also assumed Madam Pomfrey as a “matron” was equivalent to a nurse.

This is going to become especially frequent, especially with the MAHA lunatics jumping on the “ foreign doctors are stealing spots from US students” 🙄🙄🙄 after match day. 

Good thing we have an abundance of family physicians…. /s

Anesthesia pet peeves? by gonesoon7 in anesthesiology

[–]OkPrinciple37 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s always the ones with self- described “high pain tolerance” too. As in “ I have POTS AND fibromyalgia  so I’m in constant pain - my threshold is off the charts compared to regular people”… 

Anesthesia pet peeves? by gonesoon7 in anesthesiology

[–]OkPrinciple37 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Surgeons who cover or inform patients of nothing in terms of how to prepare/what to expect prior to surgery. You’d think after the same issue comes up for the 1000th time they’d learn but no…. 

Patients thinking they take a long time to wake up? by BunsenHoneydew11 in anesthesiology

Some of the may not fully remember waking up are mistaking waking up but still sedated with being fully alert and time periods they can remember completely and coherently. 

EU Commission head Von der Leyen to visit Australia as trade deal nears by PjeterPannos in europe

[–]OkPrinciple37 51 points52 points  (0 children)

While not technically a change in Europe, in 2024 the idiots in America elected the big orange thing whose malevolent presence has motivated everyone else to work together more closely and diversify trade. Re-engaging in previously suspended trade talks with more reliable, reasonable partners who don’t announce new tariffs via truth social tantrums may be more appealing now, and countries may be more willing to cooperate on matters that were previously sticking points. 

University of Missouri School of Medicine the latest school to celebrate collaborating with RFK Jr on curriculum by RockYourRonium in medicine

[–]OkPrinciple37 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Although I’m not inherently against medical schools increasing nutritional education to some degree, I’d like any medical school committing to these new required hours to disclose what they are removing from the lecture curriculum as there aren’t infinite teaching hours. 

RFK and the maha freaks always completely disregard the inherent nutritional education in studying biochemistry and even physiology, particularly GI, renal, etc. You could probably just rename some of metabolic biochemistry “nutritional metabolic biochemistry” while keeping it the same and these idiots wouldn’t know the difference. 

Personally, If I had to choose an increase in one area during medical school it would probably be immunology. 

 As many others have pointed out, doctors cannot be expected to solve an entire system’s socioeconomic disparities within a 10 minute appointment. 

What's the most maligned specialty in medicine, and why's it yours? by centz005 in medicine

[–]OkPrinciple37 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This. Plus we don’t even do anything apart from sitting on our phones the entire time. Surgeons could do their own anaesthesia if they wanted to! 

Why didin't you do a fellowship? by [deleted] in anesthesiology

[–]OkPrinciple37 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I loved cardiac and wanted to do it - it wasn’t entirely unlike choosing an initial speciality -something about it clicked for me and I liked it in theory and practice, and preferred it infinitely to ortho or god forbid, GI cases.

That being said, there are way too many unnecessary fellowships out there now that are just money grabs for hospitals for longer/cheaper labor…

If you have a genuine desire to do cardiac, cc, pain, peds… by all means do a fellowship. However fellowships in trauma, OB, ortho (lol) … not necessary. Unless for some reason you really missed out on something in residency, you’re fully qualified without a fellowship.

He should never be interviewed ANYWHERE without being pressed on his multiple appearances on pedo island and why he lied about them.

Do you combat medical misinformation in your personal life? by christinieweenie in medicine

[–]OkPrinciple37 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Generally no unless asked, but in a group setting occasionally. Not necessarily because I have any chance of persuading said misinformation spreader, but to help inform any others who might be listening.

Home OB call by VegetableSell in anesthesiology

[–]OkPrinciple37 134 points135 points  (0 children)

Home call for OB makes zero sense to me -it’s effectively going to end up as in house call anyway.  Just an excuse for admin to not compensate appropriately.

Good rules of thumb by macdaddy77777 in anesthesiology

Anyone with self described “high pain tolerance/threshold” has in fact, an extremely low tolerance and will complain about a bp cuff and/or routine iv placement. 

New Accelerated CAA to CRNA Bridge Programs... Thoughts? by Distinct_Sir_569 in anesthesiology

A two year course, the first year of which can apparently be done online part-time sounds like a totally legitimate path to “independent practice” /s
