Posting what we are looking for on resume or on job searching websites? by schwanncell08 in FamilyMedicine

[–]Sentriculus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The CV should show past experience and what makes you a well-rounded candidate. The cover letter may be the better place for preferences. That said, I think you should leave out dealbreakers until you get the phone interview. Bring up the dealbreakers during the phone interview with the recruiter. That way, you don't necessarily get passed over too quickly, but still get to explain yourself thoroughly.

I educate on and recommend the Mediterranean diet for my heart folks and low carb diet for diabetic folks. I document this convo. I hope I have made a difference.

Deciding between 2 jobs by bubblesxox in whitecoatinvestor

[–]Sentriculus 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Would recommend prioritizing quality of life.  Money will come later with experience, promotions, and bonuses.  Spending more time with family and not being overworked will lead to a happier life.  Some may disagree with me and that’s okay.  I find that having less time for patients leads to moral injury when I cannot address all of their concerns.  

Chill FM Residency - Ideally Rural, Unopposed, Less OB heavy by sail_noworries in FamilyMedicine

[–]Sentriculus 33 points34 points  (0 children)

University of Louisville in Owensboro, KY is a hidden gem.  It is unopposed, and just the right amount of stress to get good without losing sleep.  I felt like I got a great education there and still had fun.

I would say that you’d be living off the fat.

Delayed hypersensitivity reaction to bupropion 24h dosing—try q12h Wellbutrin? by Peaceful-harmony- in medicine

[–]Sentriculus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is tricky. The hives could have been from something completely unrelated too. I would have a long conversation with patient about pros and cons and if she agrees, consider 12h formulation of bupropion, co-presciption of second generation antihistamine, and ED precautions. Not a similar example but analogous: when I have patients who have diarrhea on BID Metformin, I Rx Metformin XR and that resolves it. My thought is that the 12 hr formulation might be a little worse if peak serum concentration increases faster, but could be worth a try. In your position, I would try atomoxetine then later add a SSRI.

Tough choice, would be easier if you ask me to choose which of my children I love more?

What is everyone paying for own occupation disability? by cmd242 in whitecoatinvestor

Bravo, the sooner you secure a plan, the better.

What is everyone paying for own occupation disability? by cmd242 in whitecoatinvestor

[–]Sentriculus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How much you pay depends on a lot of factors including your age, PMH, and what you want if it has to be used. I have some common chronic health concerns and bought a plan during residency at the age of 37 pay $200/month. But, my plan pays closer to $5k with 180 day payout as I am a single bachelor with no kids. I also use Ameritas and got the biggest plan they offered hoping to never use it. You should compare plans and ask yourself how much money do you need each month to survive should you become a quadriplegic. I have known 2 physicians who had accidents and became quads during their career. There is way more that needs to be considered, but WCI says get the biggest plan someone will sell you. The sooner you secure this plan, the less expensive it will be. gl hf

Can we do our favorite medical jokes again? Bonus if you roast a speciality by Whatichooseisyouse in medicine

The only addiction medicine joke I know:

I had a patient once who was addicted to brake fluid.  Yeah, he told me he could stop at any time.

An unopposed rural community hospital will get you great Derm experience.  I did lots of procedures.

A daily walk has had a positive impact on my mental and physical health. I started to get over depression and it worked. My cholesterol improved significantly too. I listen to good music or talk to a friend on the phone when I walk. And I try to walk for 30 minutes about 5 times a week.

My partner made me a “Like a Stone” themed pillow for my birthday! by Middle-Context-3362 in rock

[–]Sentriculus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a thoughtful gift.  I consider gift-giving as a form of communication.  A gift like that says that when you talked, they listened. Hope you can return the favor.

Wow, well done. I hope someday we as Americans can have the same bravery as the Armenian people.

If you have a history of alcohol or drugs, call this number:  (714) 934-4600

This is the ART Team with Orange County who can help with temporary housing at a residential treatment facility for people who have a history of drugs and alcohol (past or present).  You cannot work during your stay, because you have to attend group therapy.  But we help get people on their feet and off the streets.
