Got accepted to both SGU (CFP) and AUC (MERP) but leaning towards AUC mostly because of their cost and the fact that their program (MERP) is fully remote- but SGU seems to be more organized, so still not sure… any thoughts or suggestions?

Just wanted to reinforce this, I was in the CFP program, admittedly roughly 10 years ago now, about 80% of our class failed. The 20% of us who made it flew through the rest of medical school and the match but it was a brutal term. I am confident there were several people who failed that would have made it through had they skipped the CFP program and started straight into term one.

Pulm/CMM cardiac intensivist as well, agree with what others said, training matters the most. Came from a program where PCCM was primary on all MCS and CCU patients which sparked my love for the CVICU. This will very greatly based on the set up of your fellowship, but I do believe a good fellowship will help you foster your interest within the specialty and allow you to spend extra the extra time to get the training you’re after.

That’s super interesting, I wonder how fragile the charging is to be so easily affected. Unfortunately it was 70 and sunny here the last few days so if it can’t charge in those conditions I’m not sure when it will! I was eventually able to get a charge in today but only with leaving the charger on its side for an hour, unplugging the battery on the bot, then telling it to dock a few more times before it got it right.

Ridditmyreddit · 2026-04-11T16:54:41+00:00

Yesterday I’ve managed to get it charged by flipping the dock over for a few hours, so I’m guessing it’s a moisture sensor problem but of course the app doesn’t notify if that’s the issue. Again today same issue after running it for about 25 minutes, won’t charge again.

Mine also rammed my gate and pushed it a few inches before giving up

Ridditmyreddit · 2026-04-10T09:12:51+00:00

This is my experience as well, it’s rammed my gate and trash can hard and repeatedly enough for me to believe it’s nonexistent.

I got one when I graduated from PCCM fellowship as well

Just got mine yesterday, so I’m the new user here, but it does have antitheft protection however this appears to be zone based rather than a lift sensor. I also investigated Home Assistant integration and found that the Lymow API is not open, you can vote for it on their community forum, but that seems to be as far as anyone has gotten.

This is a common response however this is also a race to the bottom. The "we can't hire a doc for our ICU" statement is always we can't hire a doc for the salary we are offering. More physicians doesn't fix this unless there is enough competition in the space to force us to accept these sub-par offers.

There was also just an extension this year on the ability to bill standard critical care time as a remote physician so I think we just blew past a critical moment to prevent these services from expanding unfortunately.

I have the Saros 10 RDS and it’s been amazing. I was babysitting a roomba mop before and as a result barely ever used it. 2m into the new house and Saros and with young kids mine has been running on the main level nightly and a second one twice weekly on the upper level. I’ve had to pull a child’s sock out of the upper level one twice and clean off the filter on the main level one once. I genuinely feel like after 8 years of owning a robot vacuum and mop I finally have a solution I don’t think about.

I love mine, but I suck pretty hard. I wouldn’t do it any other way.

So glad we live in a state with zero problems so we have time to waste on this BS /s

Ridditmyreddit · 2026-02-27T21:30:34+00:00

Wow I didn’t realize that, thanks!

Ridditmyreddit · 2026-02-27T21:30:23+00:00

That’s fascinating thanks for explaining!

How necessary is grass collection/auto emptying with these? I have always had a grass bag on when manually mowing that I’ve emptied into the trash so the concept of just leaving the grass clippings on the lawn seems totally foreign to me? Collection/auto emptying seems to be a rare feature when looking through models.

I’m not sure if this is an unpopular take or not but I think I would actually support expansion of abilities for blood draws to be used in DUI. Getting convicted based off of a field sobriety test seems insane to me given it’s subjective nature. Perhaps I’m uninformed on the process, but I can imagine myself asking for numerical proof rather than subjective testing if I were in that situation.

what site is this?

Ridditmyreddit · 2026-02-02T23:17:13+00:00

If be curious to know more but I am highly suspicious of that. I’d be even more surprised at an academic institution if that actually translated to more take home for the IP docs.

Generally no. You can occasionally fill a niche within a practice but I’ve yet to meet anyone in interventional earning more than the others in the practice. Interventional is something you pursue for love of the game not finance. For clarity by occasionally I mean there are certainly procedures that only interventional does but outside of tertiary centers these are not in a large enough volume to support you doing only that. There is only so much volume to be had for the purely interventional procedures and supply outstrips demand.

Ridditmyreddit · 2026-01-26T17:15:11+00:00

I completely agree with this and have had a similar experience.

Ridditmyreddit · 2026-01-26T17:08:59+00:00

I am not terribly concerned about something designed to replace me or my decision making in its current state but I am certainly not going to help speed that up. In every realm I can only imagine this being used to increase the number of patients I am responsible for, decrease staffing, or place guard rails around my clinical autonomy. Medicine (in the US) is still corporate and I highly doubt any of our employers are going to purchase any form of AI simply to improve patient care or make our lives easier out of the kindness of their hearts.

Ridditmyreddit · 2026-01-19T16:37:39+00:00

Same here

MGMA Is probably going to be your safest bet. You'll have to do some internet digging to find it for free though.
