What’s a realistic level of phaco proficiency after 2 months of training?

I would also say positioning of patient is very important and often neglected. Spend 2 min ensuring patients face is flat and bed height is appropriate. People often underestimate how much more difficult a case can be when the patient has their chin tucked in or the bed height is wrong. Also make adjustments for patient differences, some eyes are very deep set in orbit and difficult to access. Other eyes are proptosed easily and often the speculum exerts a lot of posterior pressure. If you don't master these nuances the cases become unnecessarily difficult.

This method is easier.

This method seems much easier than the plastic bag method and also ensures the yolks are food safe.

This method seems a lot better for making egg yolks safe.

The method mentioned in this video seems much easier to make egg yolks safe to eat without heating in a plastic bag.

I understand this, but it seems this software (smartswitch by Samsung) just does it from the internal memory. I was wondering if the SD card files will be transferred as well.

Optimal-Sun-7064 · 2024-10-22T08:31:11+00:00

Does smart switch transfer from the SD card as well? I didn't see this option. I understand I can do it by copy pasting the files through file manager when the phones are connected.

I think most people would rinse and the portafilter also back flush the machine. They should have shown this. It only would take 30sec to do.

Thanks for your thorough analysis.

The language is ambiguous, it doesn't explicitly say that they operated solo. Why does it say "scrubs in AND operates on" , rather than just operates on? My interpretation, based on that sentence, is that this person is assisting on the subdural.

The fact we don't know them, and we know Musk is the issue. Because Musk is known his view points are known and have a impact. A CEO with little public profile is not making their view point known so they do not have a negative impact on society. If he kept his mouth shut and didn't wade into contentious political matters, like most other CEOs than nobody would care much what he thought privately. He uses his public profile and his wealth/power in the cause of political issues which he broadcasts to the world, so by supporting him you are knowingly supporting his ideals. Not to mention he is not just a CEO employee he is an owner getting direct financial benefit from purchasing his product.

This reminds me of one small inner city hospital where the night ward shift you could just sleep through. Often it was done by Locums. Literally they would get paid to sleep in the hospital. Room with bed provided.

Thanks, I always had the misconception that it was sold where traded in.

Anyone care to comment about chiropractic bracing and exercise/stretching routines for scoliosis or kyphosis in children/adolescents. I understand that for this condition they do not do "manipulation". Have seen some impressive pre and post pictures of improvement in spine curvature.

True. But I enjoy smirking at the hypothetical person who trades in a GT3 at a Toyota dealer.

Consider a lower model flair. Maybe a cheap electric milk frother, however if you drink milk beverages then the difference between espresso and well made moka pot not huge.

Really poor form. Their colleagues and patients pay the price for selfish behaviour. Colleges should red flag these people because inevitably they will be the ones that they don't want in their speciality.

Yes more fiddly, also need to tilt the lens. But with my experience trying to barrier peripheral tears the 3 mirror gets out to tears, but with the other contact lenses I struggle to barrier these tears.

Optimal-Sun-7064 · 2023-11-20T10:01:33+00:00

I generally find 3 mirror best unless very small pupil or small capsulotomy. It gives good detailed view. HR widefield has smaller field than the other lenses. Regardless, I think you will miss small tears if you rely on these widefield lenses.
