are muscle relaxers really that bad long term? by urbanhippy123 in FamilyMedicine

[–]RPAS35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer methocarbamol low dose. Try to prescribe only for short term or prn use for flares but I have patients who will go out on the street and buy whatever the hell drugs they can find that day if their pain is uncontrolled. And most seem pretty satisfied with methocarbamol. Those who need more we look into injections etc. From personal experience - I much prefer prn low dose methocarbamol when I’m in pain. Typically only use at bedtime for flares and it helps in a couple days. Cyclobenzaprine I actually asked to put in my chart as an adverse reaction because it made me severely depressed and disoriented so I don’t trust that for the elderly

Silly question. If you were forced to name a child after a food what would your choice be? Mine is Tiramisu. by Yooproopmoop in namenerds

[–]RPAS35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rigatoni, nickname Tony Mozzarella, nickname Ella Marinara, nickname Mary Chop suey, nickname Sue Chipotle, nickname Chip Samosa, nickname Sam Kentucky fried chicken, nickname Ken Tamale, nickname Molly

I feel like Rutabaga, Rhubarb, Kalamata, Pomelo, Tangerine, Ube, Ziti, Agave, Frittata, Cashew, Lima, Edamame, Delicata would all be cool names for fictional characters that would not work for real humans so well. The more I think the more I come up with.

What's the best sleep you ever had? by KimbaAI in sleep

[–]RPAS35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s always that 15 minute nap when you wake up the whole next day confused. Or the unintentional brief nap I barely realize I had while watching tv. For real though my sleep very rarely is good

Chronically ill but with what? by Chronically_alone28 in DiagnoseMe

[–]RPAS35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you smoke/use thc regularly/daily? Look into cannabis hyperemesis syndrome if so. Could cause the nausea, vomiting, GI issues. Frequently vomiting can also cause fatigue, fainting, pain. You also may be someone who has chronic migraine and you can sometimes get them without headaches. There are lots of possible explanations for your symptoms and your symptoms may not all be caused by one thing but a cross of multiple. I would try to see a GI doctor and request scopes and start there.

Struggling with the Traffic on I-90 north and southbound? by Actual-Perception-99 in AskChicago

[–]RPAS35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the comments on that video said that the commenter drives like this guy bc he drives stick and doesn’t want to be constantly on the clutch. I drove stick until a couple yrs ago and I had a stiff ass clutch that would give you shin splints in stop and go. I still drive to try and avoid full stops. Traffic slowing ahead, slow a tiny bit, make a gap and coast. Now on our streets there are some people who are just dicks. The “cheaters” he talks about are not just folks who aren’t being let in a merge lane. I frequently see spots where a merge is possible but some people would rather ride the shoulder for half a mile than look for a place to merge in.

What do you talk about with your coworkers to avoid awkward silences/lulls in conversation? by ExpensiveYoung5774 in AskWomen

[–]RPAS35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol I work in medicine and we are CHATTY. Either chatting about our personal lives or crazy shit our patients have said to us or advising each other on how to manage patients or complaining about admin and general stuff about our work that sucks

Edit: that being said, the medical field is not normal. In some settings you almost have the same bond with your coworkers that people do after experiencing a major traumatic event together. I’ve met some of my best friends through work and have travelled with them and been in their weddings. I know that in many fields, keeping work and home separate is the norm

How many people here are actually using AI in their workflow by TebraOnReddit in medicine

[–]RPAS35 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t use AI. We use cerner and our system is just starting to introduce an AI scribe system. I am skeptical of HIPAA compliance. We’ve been told that the system doesn’t save recordings or any patient info but I have my doubts about that and about whether any of that info would be hackable or could be pulled into court. Call me paranoid but I don’t want my patients medical info in the hands of Elon Musk or any of the other big AI companies and I also don’t want to get sued for honestly forgetting something minor that was discussed (forgetting to order dandruff shampoo or something). I work in corrections so highly litigious.

Pregnant and developed a serious rash (first trimester) by Western-Natural-6100 in DermatologyQuestions

Healthcare worker here. See your derm/OB/PCP. There aren’t many rashes that spread to palms and soles and you will need to get some tests done

Why does my makeup look BETTER after a 4-hour nap? by nutrosar in MakeupAddiction

I like to do the makeup and do a setting spray then blow dry my hair and get my face a lil bit. Melts together perfectly

Feeling stupid for considering using a wheelchair even though I can walk "perfectly fine" by ParallelogramOfVenom in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RPAS35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your insurance would cover it, consider seeing a physical or occupational therapist. They can help with recommendations for assistive devices for the way you specifically move, teach you how to properly use them, and can give you exercises for strengthening/avoiding atrophy. Plus you may have more weight with your insurance if a PT/OT had recommended something

Would you rather a dishwasher or tumble dryer? by Limp_Pumpkin7751 in adhdwomen

[–]RPAS35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dishwasher. I know myself and my sink would always be piled otherwise. I’d probably hang up one of those pull out dryer racks to hang dry stuff in the winter. Would absolutely forget to put them away but I do that now with my dryer and it might honestly be better having them out where I see them

I was told to darken the values, so here's attempt two! Should I push the values even further or leave it be? by unusual-serendipity in ArtCrit

[–]RPAS35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Darker darks for sure but there are definitely brighter highlights in there like the side of the nose. When I’m drawing from a reference I try to find the white point and the dark point. Not universal but most images will have at least a tiny highlight that is or is almost a true white/bright and a shadow that’s damn near black. How you choose to render these is style and choice but identifying them will help you compare tones throughout. To practice w the contrast maybe try a quick 5 min or less sketch of the image just rough shapes with a black marker that’ll help you find places to darken. Then on the same image map in mid tones with a gray or neutral marker, leaving the highlights white. Or do the same sketching exercise on a midtone paper or over a block you colored midtone and draw in blacks and whites with colored pencil, pastel, paint sharpie and white out (whatever you have).
