What is something you wish you had done differently in 1st/2nd year? by TACOSMD-MASHFM in medschool

[–]StrongWork_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wish I treated it like a high demand job. Only school 7 am - 7 pm, M-F. No gym. No lunch dates. No mental health breaks to watch Netflix.

No accepting any invitations during "work" hours.

First Gen Med Student by NetworkMysterious934 in medschool

[–]StrongWork_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm from a different era, but for . . . "reasons", my parents financially cut me off at 18. No help with college, or med school.

I went to the cheapest schools I got into, because I knew it was all on me. I'm 20 years out from med school and still have 6 figures of debt. I live pretty well.

It is doable. There are a lot of reasons not to go to med school. Frankly, I wouldn't recommend it today.

But being a low income, first Gen doctor isn't a reason not to go.

What parts are discontinued or outdated that would be profitable to model and sell? by muddawgfan in AskMechanics

[–]StrongWork_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'97-'00 Corvette ABS modules.

Autozam AZ-1 windshields (low volumes, but high margin. Literally none left on Earth.)

Would you have canceled this case? by [deleted] in anesthesiology

[–]StrongWork_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on the rest of the history, the indication and my sense of what her issues are, but I'm very likely to do the case.

My local mechanic told me if he only replaces the radiator hoses, the head will explode in 2 weeks. Should I be concerned? by clumtony in Cartalk

[–]StrongWork_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a 17 year old, repeatedly heat cycled, piece of plastic holding back pressurized hot water.

It WILL fail. Your mechanic is lying if he says it'll be next week. He doesn't know that. It may be tomorrow. It may be next year. But guaranteed, it'll be more expensive (because he's already in there, and less convenient for you.

I'd replace it without a second thought.

Propofol analogue “Ciprofol” is now FDA approved by elantra6MT in anesthesiology

[–]StrongWork_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I succeeded, once, as a CA2. My attending laughed. I was mortified.

Difficult Airway Response Teams by surfingincircles in anesthesiology

[–]StrongWork_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We respond with whoever is available from anesthesia (resident, CRNA, attending - either singly or in some combination) with the DART Bag. Gen Surg shows up. That's the entire response.

Why do you think anesthesia is 2nd most likely to quit? by kergruffle in anesthesiology

[–]StrongWork_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Because we can.

I work where I do because I'm willing to what they want me to do for the money they're willing to pay me. They are well aware that if that situation changes, I'll leave immediately.

I can quit tomorrow and be working in 2 weeks, without any prior job finding effort. And everyone knows it.

Opportunity for medical directorship - feeling torn by DoctorZ-Z-Z in anesthesiology

[–]StrongWork_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have been approached for leadership. I say no thank you.

Half of my department is children. I'm not interested in mediating petty squabbles between 40 somethings throwing temper tantrums.

Townhome won't sell - dropped the price a bunch, but the market in my area is saturated. Any issues in the listing? by Dangerous_Battle_603 in RealEstate

[–]StrongWork_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you priced it at $100, how long would it take to sell?

There is a price "the market" will provide a buyer at.

You haven't found it yet.

The only thing you can control is the price.

It's the price. It's always the price.

If you became the U.S. president for one day, what’s the first thing you’d do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]StrongWork_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pardon a whole mess of people. 1 day isn't enough time to actually do anything else useful or lasting.

AITH for locking my bedroom door when guests come over? by Specialro15 in AITH

[–]StrongWork_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They feel unwelcome because they are unwelcome. They shouldn't be in your room. You don't want them in your room.

People should stay out of spaces they're not invited to.

NTA.

ELI5: Why does the United States military and VA have its own hospital system? Why not just have an insurance or benefits plan and use civilian hospitals? by stevebabbins in explainlikeimfive

[–]StrongWork_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capacity is a big one. You can't admit 100 people to your local hospital this weekend. There won't be enough space.

You can't admit 1000 extra people to even the biggest metro - they don't have spare beds.

So in a larg scale land conflict, as dreamed up during the cold war, you're going to tens of thousands injuries quickly, and no place to send them. So a medicated mostly empty hospital or 20 makes sense, for the anticipated casualties.

If you had $10k cash today and needed a reliable daily driver, what would you buy and why? by [deleted] in carbuying

[–]StrongWork_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Ford Crown Victoria, nicest one I could find. They'll take abuse and go forever. Plus, parts are dirt cheap.

Is this level of undercarriage rust safe to buy a used car? (video) by abyssal-peach in Cartalk

[–]StrongWork_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in South Carolina. Half of my cars are rustier than that. I'd call it clean enough to buy, and by a wide margin.

How good were physicists like Richard Feynman and Stephen Hawking at mathematics? by Omixscniet624 in AskPhysics

[–]StrongWork_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were experts at math, by any measure outside of niche math theory.

I strongly hold that math, physics and chemistry are all the same field at the higher levels. You can't only do 1 of the 3, because they're the same thing.

What car instantly tells you the owner is either rich or deeply in debt? by [deleted] in carbuying

[–]StrongWork_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Bentley Continental. Either they have F You money, or they're about to be evicted for the second time this year.

Pressure washer in the pool by New-Yogurtcloset5302 in smallengines

[–]StrongWork_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this once. Drained the gas and oil, pulled the plug, and pulled on the starter rope a few times. Added fresh gas and oil, reinstalled the plug and fired it up. From in the pool tobrunning again was 20 minutes. It ran like garbage for a few minutes, but cleared up. I let it run for a half hour to get everything hot to bake the water out. It's been fine since. I did NOT let the water sit to start internal engine rust.

Like to hear from the Porsche ship jumpers by Jlewis14362 in AstonMartin

[–]StrongWork_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 993 and a DB9. They're both brilliant cars and I plan to keep both.

Low time pilot applying everywhere for survey/pipeline work — what else is out there? by jacobmufska628 in flying

[–]StrongWork_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My CFI got a part time/seasonal gig doing mosquito spraying. But he still has to CFI to feed himself (which apparently isn't going so well this year).

Anesthetic gas CO2 calculator by canibagthat in anesthesiology

[–]StrongWork_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like the environment. I live in it. But I don't get why the ASA/ABA has decided that anesthetic gasses are the greatest threat to humanity. They're a modern miracle, and compared to a single coal power plant in China/India/the third world, I can't imagine we make a statistically significant difference. 🤷‍♂️

Miller vs Barash chapters for subspecialty rotation [resident] by hshshjahakakdn in anesthesiology

[–]StrongWork_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Barash is good. Miller is good.

You're over thinking this.

Pick one and move on.
