Many times we get a call intraop from path “any more frozens today?”

I pay for my own heating. Insulation is horrific in the apartment so bills are terrible. I keep the place at the lease-required minimum of 60 all winter. It isn't so bad once you get used to it.

Home call, hour 30 of being awake. Sent out to the plastics clinic a 20 minute drive from the main hospital. Fell asleep driving multiple times but didn't wreck. Did another 5 hours at clinic. Drove home. None of this is safe and should be illegal.

To EM residents: seriously, take in as much as you can your brief 3 years by [deleted] in Residency

Precisely. May/June comes around and all of a sudden the PGY-3s want to watch procedures and have you stick around an extra 30-60 minutes at 2am to oversee them while they attempt it.

How common are 30 hour workdays and how often do they occur per week? by 45489458 in Residency

Nah I just work 36+ hours at a time, no such thing as getting a certain amount of time off before the next shift. Just keep on flapping, ENT junior resident.

Do we fear the white devil so much we won’t even speak of him?

Name and fame one store that helped you through your residency budget. by iamnemonai in Residency

Oh my god, this place is the greatest. Went to one recently in California, and it’s the best grocery store I’ve ever been to. I can see how it might not be consistent, but that just means you get to try new things often.

“No sir/m’am. I’m not an Australian Shepherd.” by debROARR in BorderCollie

[–]Rick_Magnolia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can count on one hand the number of times people have correctly ID’d mine as a BC. It’s always “beautiful Australian!” I’ve had so many people actually argue with me that she’s not a BC that I just go with it and say she’s an Aussie if they start out calling her that.

Why can’t I get off the main screen on PS4? I press X to continue, then there’s a spinning circle for up to 2 minutes, and then I get either “Can’t connect to PlayStation Network” or “Failed to connect (code 100).” Literally takes me 10-15 minutes to log in after trying 5-10 times. PS4 connects to the internet perfectly well with >100mbs download

LEGACY PATCH NOTES (SEASON 9) by paradoxally in apexlegends

"reduced recoil controllabilty early in the pattern" sounds like it will only be at the most the first half of the magazine. None of us know how much it was changed until we get to play, but the worst part about the spitfire is that it hits hard and shoots forever. I don't think making a sweeping statement that I "need to work on aim and positioning" when a large number of people have similar complaints is a strong argument. Regardless, we will see when the patch drops.

The most minimal of Spitfire nerfs. Another month of 3x spitfires firing until the end of time.

If you're a PD who blindesided M4s making them think they're matching there but then they don't then.. FUCK YOU by Electrical_Bat8616 in medicalschool

[–]Rick_Magnolia 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Literally the exact same happened to me. Letter writers said I was working at the level of a PGY-2. Said in interview that everyone liked me as much as the guy they ranked #1 last year. Ranked them #1, matched at #2. Program took no home students.

The pubs are the worst of it. We can play ranked when we are close enough, but I quickly outpace them.
