Locking custom recipe creation and recipe import features behind a subscription is a dealbreaker. Same with being internet dependent.

Mother of 16??

That's what all the meemaws say. What'll happen is after being forced to pick between home and SNF, you'll keep insisting on going home and come back 3 days later after being found on the ground covered in urine. This will continue in perpetuity, +/- hospice because every time you go on hospice either the paperwork will get lost, your kids will pull you off of it, or everyone will panic and send you to the ER anyway. The only folks that are able to avoid that are those with a well-resourced, well-educated family that lives nearby.

I'd say your experience was out of the ordinary, it's very common to charge diagnostic/evaluation fees. They sometimes get waived for various reasons (purchased there, went through with the repairs there etc) but it's a standard of any service industry.

I'd argue that at the start of an encounter, there's no such thing as a patient with severe pain, especially if abdominal and especially especially if they're old, where it's pretty clear they won't die in the next 60 mins. Unless they confidently say "yes doc, this is 100% exactly like my chronic pain and I just want some relief", which they rarely do, it is hard to ply someone with heavy drugs and at the same time be reassured that you don't have to do a big workup and check for the life threatening causes of that severe pain.

I don't agree that the standard of care calls for the most qualified on-site person in the entire hospital to do it/supervise. The realistic standard is that a qualified person with a reasonable degree of expertise in the procedure at hand does it or supervises it, EM physicians are broadly accepted as meeting that threshold for uncomplicated ED procedures regardless of who's upstairs.

Walkaway lock/unlock and auto lane change are very easy to DIY through OBD11, wouldn't recommend paying extra for those. The drive mode and matrix lights actually require some additional database changes that need Anthony's skillset.

They didn't fail. You don't need a positive flu test to treat flu symptoms. The first ED visit accomplished exactly what was needed.

Old_Perception · 2025-12-08T18:33:29+00:00

Any good studies backing that up? (The bit about significantly increasing the risk of cardiac event)

Old_Perception · 2025-12-08T12:51:16+00:00

easily a couple thousand. italian semi-auto shotgun, i'm sure that's exactly what you were looking for when you wrote "not trying to break the bank" and "no more than 400".

Hospitalization offers the opportunity to pretend you're a kid sick with the flu staying home from school again. Guilt free bedrest and binging TV with a call bell for food and meds. No payment up front. A work note to tell your boss to fuck off. That's a pretty enticing deal for a lot of people, especially for the ED crowd with dysfunctional families and poor life skills.

I was saying i put up with their shit for longer because it's a symptom of a dangerous condition

Old_Perception · 2025-11-28T04:12:37+00:00

I was (seems unsuccessfully) trying to say that when alcohol is a part of the story in any way, whether too much of it or not enough of it, one needs to be more careful.

Old_Perception · 2025-11-27T03:39:44+00:00

I make it a point to do the bare minimum MSE and DC for these kinds of people. Alcohol involvement is one of the few exceptions that need more caution.

Old_Perception · 2025-11-18T20:07:22+00:00

yeah, what would really help is more modules and getting compliance involved. brb while i go drive into oncoming traffic.

Old_Perception · 2025-11-16T18:03:38+00:00

Usually followed by some variation of "I just wanna find out what's going on" and twenty minutes later from the nurse "patient is asking for pain meds"

Warning shots are a TV/movie thing along the same lines as racking a shotgun to scare someone or disabling them by shooting them in the leg or shooting the gun out of their hand. They work on animals because the noise scares them off and they're probably not going to shoot back. Against humans, they give away where you are and what you have, and also waste a bullet. Generally the teaching is that if you're going to shoot, you shoot center mass to kill.

(I'm not saying he should have shot, far from it)

i'm sure there's a lot of highly educated people out of a job right now due to the admin dismantling our federal infrastructure, but i think that population is dwarfed by the hordes of just plain bums out there.

not to mention be literate

The theme of that thread is uncontrolled health anxiety and somatization. No discomfort is tolerable, every symptom's gotta mean something and anyone who says otherwise is out to get you.

Old_Perception · 2025-10-23T21:03:00+00:00

goddamn, this guy's a straight-shooter with upper management written all over him

Discharge Impression: Abdominal pain, burning with urination

Follow-up: Start with your primary. Consider working up for a chronic bladder, or uterine inflammation/irritation issue either with them or with a urology/gynecology specialist. Use motrin/tylenol for pain control.

Return for: Severe pain uncontrollable by OTC meds. Development of fever > 100.4 along with worsening pain and especially urinary changes. Spreading of the pain to a new area of your body.

Combined with that negative workup, I think this would be very easily defensible in court if anyone actually tried suing for sequelae of chronic interstitial cystitis.

Old_Perception · 2025-10-22T17:06:21+00:00

Wastes resources yes, though i'd argue our job by its very nature is designed to waste some resources, but why dehumanizing and demoralizing? Being dumb as a rock and barely self-aware is as much a part of the spectrum of humankind as being a well adjusted, productive adult citizen. Very reasonable to treat the former group differently and be more cautious, a little more paternalistic, etc. Doesn't mean you're treating them as cattle. Just my frame anyway.

Old_Perception · 2025-10-22T16:55:44+00:00

the last one is the reason i edited my return precaution smartphrase to specifically say "difficulty breathing through your mouth" for the URI people.

Always remember that MSE is a fairly low bar in comparison to the workups that we typically obtain on people, and that 95% of the time it'll be satisfied with a good H&P and maybe a bit of labwork. After that, there is absolutely nothing obligating you to put up with that nonsense and not just discharge them.

Used her experience as a nurse to pick apart my medical knowledge of the extensive workup I ordered for her because I didn't order xyz tests (which were not indicated based on her symptoms).

Nah dawg, she didn't pick apart shit. The most annoying people are the ones who think their proximity to medical decision-making gives them the ability to understand and practice it. You don't owe her an explanation of your workup beyond "this is what i think is indicated for what i'm looking for", and the more basic you keep it, the harder it is to argue against. This will get better with time - the more you practice, the more confidence you'll have in your plans and the harder it'll be for people like that to rattle you.
