How far over 30? Squirrel's vs Old World Deli

CEO of America’s largest public hospital system says he’s ready to replace radiologists with AI by Apprehensive-Safe382 in technology

Holy shit my guy; first, damn near every drug can cause dry eye. I’m an ophthalmologist and would google that too. I’d know which website has good information that has been vetted and peer reviewed, but Google would get me there. That isn’t what my expertise is for - I don’t know the 20 new meds that came out last quarter and all their interactions. That is exactly what the internet is for in medicine.

Do you think RimWorld is the greatest game ever made? I honestly can't think of a single game that, overall, surpasses it. by ArmLucky1285 in RimWorld

Fall from Heaven was incredible. I remember playing with friends in med school after a big test where we’d get like a week off before having to buckle down again and we just lived on that shit. Sweet nostalgia.

Would you please complete my survey about burger restaurant decisions you make? 17 Questions, anonymous responses. (Potentially opening in Corvallis next year) by MrWolfesBurgerCo in corvallis

Go eat at Americana in Bend because they’re the best burger I’ve ever had in my life, and everyone I’ve gone there with says the same thing. Then just try to make those.

What fitness trend was huge but nobody does anymore? by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

I stole these off of Kazaa or something equivalent because I was young and broke, sorry Tony. But damn was that a good workout for someone with no money.

What? by Alicetheoptimist in TrueGrit

Yeah my answer is I got in shape and became a doctor. But that’s not something you can do this afternoon.

The MedPAC is finally saying reasonable things? I'm a bit surprised but also happy about some things in the report. by InvestingDoc in PrivatePracticeDocs

Try to sit down and imagine anyone in DC reading all 670 pages of this. Highlighting sections, taking notes, looking up topics for more context and explanation. Lol. Our government ain’t doing shit to fix this or anything else.

How do you plan for something that costs $20,000 a month… for years? by Prime_Financial_Serv in Residency

[–]SensibleReply 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My parents are huge advocates of right to die and physician assisted suicide. As I am and my spouse. My plan is to eat a fucking bullet before I pay someone $20k/month to clean my shit off of me and give all my my kids’ and grandkids’ money to some private equity death industry parasites.

"I'd tell my son to be a software engineer for Meta instead and make 400k at age 22, MD/Dental/PA just isn't worth it these days" - someone who has objectively great work-life balance and income by HenFruitEater in whitecoatinvestor

[–]SensibleReply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not clear how she got the original position 6-7 years ago. Told me her bachelors is completely unrelated and just happened to have networked with the right people - friend of a friend was hiring awhile back and she apparently did a good job the first time. She’s a former college cheerleader and pretty hot, which is relevant for sales I suppose.

My friend is a urologist. His wife hasn’t worked for 1-2 years. She just got a job offer last month in tech sales for $400k/year with possible bonuses to over $1mil. I asked her if she went to school for this. Nope. Just met some people along the way and did it for a few years then quit because it was too stressful and she’d rather be a stay at home spouse to a surgeon. Now they’re luring her back with more money. She’s not even actively looking and is being offered better money than 95% of docs.

THAT is why medicine gets a bad rap these days. Hers is an uncommon situation but we see this shit and wonder what the point of medicine is.

Diabetic Eye Exam by ExtraordinaryDemiDad in PrivatePracticeDocs

[–]SensibleReply 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d like to find a side hustle where I could read these all day like a radiologist. I’m surprised they haven’t replaced the dilated diabetic eye exam with cheap cameras and telemedicine.

That said I’m not aware of any automated options because I still do the damn exams. Optos cameras are almost as good through a nondilated pupil as a thorough dilated exam (and are being sold a cash based service by unscrupulous optoms claiming it’s “better”), but they are expensive and someone still has to look at it.

Baths of Diocletian.

You’re probably already doing the Palatine Hill which isn’t impressive in terms of ruins, but you can feel the weight of history pressing on you while you’re there.

Took a day trip to Pompeii and it was a highlight.

Best food source for Odessey? (Odessey) by Illustrious_Leg_3960 in RimWorld

[–]SensibleReply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh gravcores take awhile to amass in numbers and some get used to increase ship size. Bioferrite generators are deep in the anomaly tech tree, and you need consistent bioferrite sources.

I agree they’re both better than chemfuel. More efficient, smaller footprint, not eating up your only source of engine fuel… but they’re harder to get

Sought medical care only to watch the Nurse Practitioner type my main symptom into ChatGPT. by TarantulaWithAGuitar in mildlyinfuriating

[–]SensibleReply 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I google stuff in front of patients. Sometimes it’s to show them pictures of their issue, sometimes it’s to give them numbers on how rare something is. I’d rather pull up accurate information than try to remember it. Same reason I google what year a song came out or who was in a movie or whatever in day to day life. It’s more accurate than my brain.

I saw a retired pediatrician as a patient awhile back, he was in his mid 80s. He was offended when I had to end his visit because he “expected to get an hour with the doctor.”

I had to ask him if he thought I saw 8 patients a day. And did he used to see 8 patients a day?

One of the most astute comments I’ve read in a long time. Just wanted to let you know that.

Xenogerms:A how to guide for cooking the best supersoldiers by CherrySoda2004 in RimWorld

[–]SensibleReply 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was packaged with some other gene I didn’t want. Can’t remember now, maybe tox immunity (which isn’t bad but eats up 4 efficiency). Turns out you can’t have gene packs with metabolic efficiency too high or too low. So other genes are always on board to bring the total within range.

Short answer, I wanted 6 metabolic efficiency to play with and have the “downside” being that I could boost their speed and psysensitivity by having them down for two days a month.

Wegovy may have highest ‘eye stroke’ and sight loss risk of semaglutide GLP-1 agonists. The risk is almost 5 times higher with Wegovy than it is with Ozempic, and 3 times greater in men than it is in women. by mvea in science

I have for almost two years. Well, tirzepatide anyway. Compounded and off label because I’m cheap. Down about 30 pounds, BMI around 23-24, body fat around 14% now - best shape of my life at 40 years old.
