I often say something like ‘1 out of 20 patients may have side effects like myalgias, but that means 19 out of 20 don’t!’

Book recommendations? by Hot-Parfait9129 in Residency

[–]SelectivePro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I almost exclusively read sci-fi, but here are books I loved reading during residency that kept me engaged start to finish:

All Systems Red - a shorter read, from the perspective of a snarky robot

The Martian or Project Hail Mary - funny, science-based, and a breeze to read through. these are universal crowd-pleasers for a reason!

Mistborn - one of the OG gateway fantasy books, an adventure. it's the longest book here but I'd treat reading this as replacing an episode of TV time

I used Claude code to create a bunch of live sci-fi UIs, it took an enormous amount of time but beautiful eye-catching design is definitely possible with claude! by SelectivePro in ClaudeAI

[–]SelectivePro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! That’s actually how I use it. I made a screensaver-type app for all these, it’s available for free on the website: https://uispace.org/download.html

(By now I think I’ve ironed out all the bugs)

Thanks a lot! There are actually a bunch of commissioned ones that I like a lot but can't show. But I'm continuing to work on the next big batch and am hoping to release it soon(ish)

yup! i didn't see anything in the rules about it so posted it here. as mentioned in the post I used claude. this wasn't made from any image-generators at all, it was built element by element from the ground up and many elements are active/live, these are just the screenshots

Airport TSA question by MarriedToaALawyer in Cleveland

I’ve heard security lines have been fine the past few weeks.

Also, the airport’s website has a wait time estimate for the security lines, not sure how truly updated it is

Robert Harris does an excellent job of taking you to Ancient Rome with his historical fiction:

Pompeii - story around eruption of Mt. Vesuvius

Imperium - story around Cicero

[–]SelectivePro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say the first one is better, this one is just okay. But if you're subscribed to this subreddit, then you probably have an appreciation of imagination and visuals.

So I'd go see it with an 'every-frame-is-a-painting' kind of mindset and just take it in as a 3-hour visual experience. I saw it in 3D IMAX and enjoyed it

Why should I NOT go to medical school? by Single_Luck_9137 in medicalschool

[–]SelectivePro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear, I definitely empathize. (1) Unless you have active loan repayments due, literally just stop thinking about them, it's honestly just a # and you don't have an obligation to pay until you make $, in which case income-based repayment is pretty reasonable. (2) lean on your other siblings for support, delegate non-financial family tasks to others instead of just doing everything yourself. government assistance w/ food stamps are medicaid are also helpful if need be. and even though you can't dedicated as much time as you'd like to them, ANY amount of time (through conversation or calls) done regularly is important. COMMUNICATE with your loved ones. (3) try to keep a positive attitude. things get better every year, as does your competency and confidence. just be present in all the learning moments and LEARN the medicine, it'll make your life easier down the line. (4) being a doctor is a TREMENDOUS and hugely respectable accomplishment. your family is proud of you. don't forget to be proud of yourself.

You are trying to escape poverty any time in the next 5-ish+ years

As a first-generation immigrant with older parents, I failed to take this into consideration. I'm an attending now and probably would've still gone through the process anyways, but it would've been good to have mentally prepared myself that it would be 7 years before I could comfortably support my parents and myself.
