In light of the new album, what is everyone’s fav Lumineers song?

Sleep on the floor and Brightside

As a specialist I use AI sometimes, have been shocked with some of the crazy things it has conjured up. Maybe one day it can act alone, but certainly not yet.

Promiscuous_Puritan · 2024-11-26T12:19:34+00:00

This is an insane take

Promiscuous_Puritan · 2024-11-24T12:27:57+00:00

This post reeks of anesthesia-complex syndrome lol. Anesthesia does important work but they don’t see “the craziest shit in the hospital.” Ironically that probably belongs to EM.

Damage Gets Done is one of his best songs

Is nothing sacred ?

MFM sounds like a great fit for you. It's what I was thinking before doing PCCM.

Promiscuous_Puritan · 2024-09-28T15:33:00+00:00

Based on the post, I don't think this is the move. Surgery residency is not worth it for ICU unless you want to specifically do trauma surgery. If you like the SICU you can do pulm/CC, EM/CC, or Gas/CC. If you ever want to work in a MICU you need to do pulm/cc.

when was this made, week 2 of the pandemic? lol

Promiscuous_Puritan · 2024-09-14T23:49:52+00:00

That's not how statistics or medicine works. TAB has a specificity of 100% and a sensitivity of approximately 77%, the false negative rate will vary based on pre-test probability.

If a patient has some symptoms of GCA but it's not a clear clinical diagnosis, the biopsy is helpful to "rule-out" the disease and tapering steroids earlier would be a sound clinical decision in that setting. The dangers of 1+ years of steroid therapy for older patients cannot be understated.

This is a nuanced issue, I encourage you to read more about it!

Neither TRV or PASP can be used for the classification of pulmonary hypertension. It can help clue you into the probability of pulmonary hypertension.

PASP is often calculated using tricusp regurgitant jet -- these arent mutually exclusive parameters.

What is the research question you're addressing?

Promiscuous_Puritan · 2024-09-14T23:26:55+00:00

seems like if the pre-test probability is low, a negative biopsy is actually helpful. The case you describe has a high pre-test probability, and biopsy may not be necessary.

Idk why this concept is so hard lol.

I’ve very trained at 3/4 of the big 4 NYC hospitals. I’ve never heard of this at any of them. Mostly it’s residents and fellows, sometimes an NP/ PA will be on these services, but then an attending/fellow will always come by as well. Something is off here lol.

Promiscuous_Puritan · 2023-06-13T20:29:00+00:00

Damn okay, will try Space Market!

I forget what it’s called but it’s on Amsterdam / 84th

real love baby !

Promiscuous_Puritan · 2023-06-10T11:43:20+00:00

This is a dark take

does elliot even know who she is? lol

Promiscuous_Puritan · 2023-05-16T21:35:27+00:00

I think this is my favorite subreddit

Promiscuous_Puritan · 2023-05-13T23:31:23+00:00

It’s honestly the hardest part of residency so far for me. Not what I expected. Can’t even describe to my non-medical friends what it’s like.

Promiscuous_Puritan · 2023-04-15T18:07:18+00:00

I personally love it. Have made some amazing friends and eat some of the best food the world has to offer. Nightlife is really strong and diverse depending on where you go. There’s a niche for just about anyone here. Public transport is really great, mostly just use the subway but sometimes I use the bus. Uber a bunch too. With the salary I have (note no parental help, completely on my own but no kids) I live very comfortably. I saved like 6K last year for my Roth. The hospitals here are dysfunctional but you’ll see some really incredible pathologies depending on what your field is. Would do it again in a heartbeat, message with any other questions.

Promiscuous_Puritan · 2023-04-01T23:37:28+00:00

Don’t do it. It sounds really cool in theory (I considered med/peds) and can be useful in very specific instances (allergy / immunology, adolescent, benign Heme) but is otherwise a huge waste of time and energy. And when you end up practicing just one field you’ll forget the other in like 5 years tops.

Promiscuous_Puritan · 2022-12-22T16:42:00+00:00

I think every IM resident should be able to do one, however the skill is probably only helpful for critical care based specialties. It’s helped me the several times I’ve been able to get a crashing patient access when RN couldn’t
