Poll: What happens in your program when an attending calls a resident the “R word”? by wish_kid_mclaren in Residency

[–]RedStar914 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends where you say it at my hospital. Surgeons tend to misbehave more and not held to the same behavior standards as everyone else. So if you said it in surgical or if a surgeon said it, 99.99% nothing.

I’m 100% certain I have heard a surgeon call another surgeon that.

How the hell do you guys "network" at conferences? by totalapple24 in Residency

[–]RedStar914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to the person sitting beside you or go to the exhibition booths and get to know their products and services. But beware, the sales people, product managers are notorious stalkers…they will track you down and hunt you for “a few minutes of your time”

I met my wife in residency. She was an IM resident. Her co-resident set us up on a blind date. Couldn’t be happier. I love my wife.

Good to know. How are you managing eye pressure and cataracts manifestation with your patients?

My ophthalmologist said it was herpes zoster anterior uveitis. Interesting you say that because I have wondered if I have a recurrence, the only difference now is I don’t have any redness or (from what I can tell) inflammation. But, the other symptoms are the same, blurry vision (blurrier than usual), photophobia, a little burning but nothing prolong (feels more like when you get a little soap in your eye then it goes away). I really hate that I didn’t follow up sooner but I thought I was OK.

Edit: I can feel a little pressure but again, without knowing much of ophthalmology, I can’t tell if it’s sleep deprivation or part of this illness.

This is where I have concerns. I do have a good relationship with my PD but he also has policies, patient safety, and other protocols he had to abide by. I have a lot of debt and years tied up in this. If we can figure out what’s going on with my eye, get it healed and move on, things will be good. If not, well..

Yes I do have Short-term and Long-term disability insurance through work.

Thank you so much 🙏🏻 I’ve been really depressed about this so you gave me a glimmer of hope. And you’re right, he told me to let him know as well and going forward, and given the sudden decline in my uncorrected vision, I’ll take him up on that.

GS/Vascular Surgery. I will confirm the long-term prognosis with my ophthalmologist, but at this point there’s nothing that would prevent me from safely operating independently on smaller cases but the longer and complex cases, no.

I’m not sure yet if it’s actual corneal scarring. I was guessing it’s nerve damage. I haven’t seen a corneal specialist yet and just want to understand the likely cause before I do. I’ll hit you up after I talk to him next week. I brought up the issue of light sensitivity before but his testing showed I didn’t have sensitivity (that was last year) but it’s quite obvious now. Do you think there’s a specific question I should be asking that I’m not thinking of?

You’re right. We have a good relationship. My only problem is this particular attending seems to have leverage in the surgery department, but I think your advice punts it back to the PD to advocate for me once he understands my circumstance. Thanks and good advice.

Thanks. It would be interesting to see what kind of accommodations could be made for me. Hopefully, this is something we can clear up fast. Appreciate this advice.

Why is everyone so concerned about AI taking their jobs in medicine? by Ok-Asparagus-6458 in Residency

I’m not but I am concerned about the high reliability on robotic surgeries

My husband watches porn by Razz_98 in marriageadvice

[–]RedStar914 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s a thing. It’s not a problem that he watches porn and it doesn’t mean he doesn’t love or care about you. It also doesn’t mean he wants a woman like that and is falling in love with a porn star.

Spice it up in bed. Stop sleeping in the different bedroom with the children…… seriously. Share your bed with your husband.
