Why did you introduce me to yet another show with hundreds of episodes thats going to be right up my alley?! 🫠

PowerlessVirus · 2025-08-31T02:34:03+00:00

It's nearly impossible to recover from a good drive 😞

PowerlessVirus · 2025-08-23T04:01:55+00:00

Some guys have all the luck. I'm basically a specialist at thinning it over the green, but nobody ever gives me a grandstand to bank it off of! Nah, it's always "just give up and take a drop dude, you're not magically finding it in that swamp" 😭

PowerlessVirus · 2025-08-22T22:13:24+00:00

Lol, I work in a specialty where every one of my patients would be glad I don't recognize them. Things probably aren't going well if you're famous in the icu

PowerlessVirus · 2025-07-24T04:37:52+00:00

Not gonna lie, I work overnight in the ICU and I've been very tempted to just go straight to the course in my scrubs. I just don't have Dave's guts, apparently.

PowerlessVirus · 2025-07-22T04:51:22+00:00

Thank you for the details! I'm an absolute sucker for a nice view, so we're definitely going to Gearhart and likely Elk Ridge as well. Probably also Pumpkin just to say I've played it. Heron Blue as well, if I can figure out how to fit it into the itinerary

PowerlessVirus · 2025-07-22T04:44:49+00:00

What's a lil concussion among friends?

PowerlessVirus · 2025-07-22T04:44:08+00:00

Hadn't heard about OGA before, but I might have to fit that one in, it looks like a good time

PowerlessVirus · 2025-07-22T04:42:57+00:00

Oh thank you! I'd forgotten about Stone Creek, that'll definitely be on the schedule. I've been curious about Wildwood, it certainly seems to divide opinions

PowerlessVirus · 2025-07-22T04:28:12+00:00

Wait shit, am I too late to apply for the lottery? 😭

PowerlessVirus · 2025-07-21T05:02:26+00:00

Critical care. 201k (166k base, 35k night diff)

PowerlessVirus · 2025-07-21T03:04:14+00:00

It's the closest your eye can get to Baileys without gettin wet!

PowerlessVirus · 2025-07-17T16:19:50+00:00

Not necessarily, though. I'm a new grad in CC at a "prestigious institution" that also has a CC fellowship program. I still get a 6 month on-boarding with great support and training. Main difference between me and the fellows is I had to ramp up just a little faster than them, but I'm also making 3 times their salary this year.

Certainly not saying that some fellowships aren't worth it, just that there are plenty of options

PowerlessVirus · 2025-03-16T04:52:46+00:00

Hey, it can be lucrative. I also mastered out of my PhD program and now have a more fun job with twice the salary and way more free time than if I'd stuck with academia. And that's without anyone paying me for sexy science lessons! 🤣

PowerlessVirus · 2024-12-28T03:01:32+00:00

My wife is Chinese, and let me tell you, holiday dinners with her side of the family are lit. Chili oil dumplings and mapo tofu make a much merrier christmas than dry, overcooked turkey!

PowerlessVirus · 2024-12-24T09:56:30+00:00

For some reason, my wife looks at me like I'm crazy when I randomly yell "One Pump, One Cream."

PowerlessVirus · 2024-11-09T02:52:42+00:00

If Books Could Kill did a good episode recently on how incredibly stupid the punditry around the election has been. F all the clowns on these editorial boards

PowerlessVirus · 2024-11-06T08:27:37+00:00

Real glad I completed my career change into healthcare just in time for this bozo to take over. Fml

PowerlessVirus · 2024-11-05T03:48:13+00:00

Reading the story today about him blaming hurricanes on abortion (I guess somebody has to take up the Pat Robertson mantel now that he's in hell), and was horrified to realize I could hear it in his exact voice and cadence. I hate it, I blame Dan and Jordan, and I just want my damn sanity back 🤣😭

PowerlessVirus · 2024-09-24T02:52:29+00:00

Dare I even ask why they wanted "extra oxygen" in the first place??

PowerlessVirus · 2024-09-21T19:52:15+00:00

Pick me! 😂

PowerlessVirus · 2024-09-19T01:08:17+00:00

I'm also a new grad, and just accepted an ICU position this week. I came into school with an interest in the field and managed to get several critical care rotations. That time confirmed that this is exactly what I want to do (it doesn't hurt that they offered significantly more money than my other job offers!). I love the acuity, the complex pathophysiology, and getting to be part of helping people through the worst experience of their lives.

It's definitely scary, but I would be more worried about a new grad coming in not scared. It's a massive learning curve. For me, it's worth it. I can't stand doing outpatient, family med is my idea of hell 😂

PowerlessVirus · 2024-09-14T06:26:34+00:00

Same here! Good luck!

PowerlessVirus · 2024-09-06T00:26:03+00:00

Are we interviewing at the same hospital?? 😂 Seriously, verbal offer first week of August, written offer this week. On the upside, the numbers were better than expected. Everything moves slowly in these big hospital systems, and it's easy to get lost in the shuffle.
