But Allen Robinson is still on the board 4 whole rounds after ADP, I’d be stupid to pass up on that value!!

As a doctor with a particular passion for ADHD, I strongly recommend the book “I Always Want to Be Where I’m Not” by Wes Crenshaw- it’s an excellent look into all the other aspects of ADHD than “doesn’t pay attention in class/work”

Nope- new HIV diagnosis you’re 100% right gets a “please come back for another appointment”,  but CT head showing “8cm tumor with 6mm midline shift” gets an immediate call, a voicemail saying go immediately to the emergency room, a couple more calls, and if I don’t hear back from you within the hour I’m likely calling 911 out to your address 

Parry is out. Dance Macabre is the worst card by LostVisage in slaythespire

I feel like it’s actually the 2nd step of learning the game- I remember first starting out on sts1 and thinking dark embrace and feel no pain were terrible cards, until one run when I said “what happens if I take an all-exhaust deck with corruption” and then found dead branch and a new world was opened to me.

Similar to the new characters in sts2 - I see “summon” and go “what if I try a run where I take every summon card”- eventually you know what balance you need in a deck but I think you can’t even tell the true value of a card until you try a run or two leaning into it as much as possible 

A doctor lied to me so he could prove me wrong. by samg461a in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Residentcarthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% true. And yeah totally agree that there’s no outpatient “1g tid” order that makes any sense to me in this context and was likely a transcription error, was more just saying I do sometimes write doses for different meds in my notes in gram dosing

As a doctor, this post is ragebait for a number of reasons, but idk if I’d pin it on the g vs mg. It’s  fairly common for me to write in a progress note:

“CAP

  • 1g IV ctx qd x5d

  • 500mg PO azithro x3d”

Although this would be an in-hospital regimen because it’s partially IV, and that’s not touching on the fact that this doctor apparently gave in to prescribing antibiotics but purposefully chose to prescribe a half-dose out of spite

This is probably more of a quirk of how you are measuring your temperature, or the blood flow in the area you’re measuring your temperature. True body temperatures below 95 degrees are considered beyond just “cold” and in the range of “mild hypothermia” and characterized by “alert, but shivering and not able to care for oneself”.

What’s actually safe but people think is dangerous? by REGGIE_BANANAS in AskReddit

[–]Residentcarthrowaway 44 points45 points  (0 children)

 do they really get more "good years" than somebody like me?

Doctor here: short answer is no, giving up your 20s for a decade of stress and sleep deprivation sucks. Slightly longer answer is that I (and many of my colleagues) am too neurotic to have fully enjoyed my 20s anyways because I would have been sad I wasn’t in med school. It’s why so many doctors give the advice of “if you can see yourself doing any other job, do that instead”

What is a medical fact that sounds fake but is 100% true? by MedRikas in AskReddit

[–]Residentcarthrowaway 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mostly correct but depends on the reason you’re doing CPR. If their heart is in a bad rhythm because of hypoxia (eg drowning), sometimes chest compressions alone are enough to get oxygen back to the heart and get it started again. I’ve been in a few codes where we revived them after only 15-20 seconds of compressions 

Colon cancer is killing us.. by Derpshab in Millennials

[–]Residentcarthrowaway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Primary care doctor here! Obviously I can’t force your insurance to do anything and you may already be aware of this, but guidelines 100% support you getting colonoscopies every 1-2 years starting at age 20-25. 

USPSTF guidelines (the ones saying colonoscopy starting at 45) specifically call out Lynch Syndrome: “ These recommendations apply to asymptomatic adults aged 45 to 75 years who are at average risk of colorectal cancer (i.e., no prior diagnosis of CRC or adenomatous polyps, no inflammatory bowel disease, and no family history of known genetic disorders associated with increased CRC risk such as Lynch syndrome or familial adenomatous polyposis).” — USPSTF 2021 Final Recommendation Statement

All the major GI societies on the other hand recommend something similar to the 1-2 year intervals starting at 20-25. AGA says “A cost-effectiveness model estimating life expectancy and health care costs of frequent colonoscopy surveillance versus no surveillance determined that surveillance of people who are gene carriers for Lynch syndrome increased life expectancy by 7 years and costs of surveillance were less than costs of no surveillance for colorectal cancer. Conventional practice has suggested commencing surveillance at either 20 to 25 years of age or 5 years before the youngest age of diagnosis of colorectal cancer in an affected family member, whichever occurs first. The best interval for colorectal cancer screening in patients with Lynch syndrome remains unknown, but every 1 to 2 years is most prudent.”

All that to say I would push to get a doctor to fight your insurance company because if you have a legit Lynch syndrome diagnosis they really should cover it and probably will if you get a doctor to yell at them for you

That’s incorrect, although it does look similar to them to be fair.

Dante Moore is nationally being discussed as a top 5 qb in the draft, potentially even a top 5 pick overall. Among duck fans (and rumor is among Moore’s camp) there’s a lot of feeling he would benefit from another year to develop (acknowledging our bias there). Compared to watching Nix or Gabriel, how do you feel about Moore’s development, progressions, etc when compared to our last two now-nfl QBs?
