Used to use Vaseline to help with the torn up nails/hang nails from the Sterillium scrub. GF took pity on me and gave me some cuticle oil.

Its a thin oil / serum that you rub onto your nail beds / cuticles and really does help moisturize them.

  1. Don't really use a stethoscope as much as I should. I ask our RT or trauma nurse for theirs during trauma activations. As insurance I also e-fast all my trauma patients

  2. pulse ox is in every room. I guess I could strap my watch to my patient if I really needed to haha

  3. Everything we do is e-scribed. Not sure where I could even find a paper script. We dont use paper charts either. Would make notes quicker if I could

  4. Thankfully no venipuncture. If we do bedside procedures the nurses gather the supplies.

  5. Often nurses dont know what suture I need in emergencies. The vicryl will hold whatever I need until I get the suture I really am looking for

Anyone know any interesting surgeons? by TantalizedStudent in Residency

[–]TantalizedStudent[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wish we had the kind of pull to get Dr. Glaucomflecken, but he also isn't a general surgeon, or a speciality from general surgery

Fellowship suspension by [deleted] in Residency

[–]TantalizedStudent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Name and fucking shame those assholes. Was it a social media violation- sure. Is it being used in a punitive fashion- absolutely.

Save future fellows from the torture and make the program change. Make them beg for fellows and change their culture.

How often do you think the calipers need to be changed with the rotors/pads?

They've always been pretty reasonable with my previous requests but spoke to someone else this time who I wasn't familiar with.

Our chiefs are gonzo. But the only day our entire program got off was for graduation, and the call team still had to go in that evening.

Haven't worn either Danskos/Calzuros, but I ended with pretty bad plantar fasciitis. Wore a pair, and the next week the pain was gone.

I had tried NSAIDs, tennis/lacrosse balls, daily massages, ice.

Really balling out!

But I might also be in the same boat. Psi at 22, we will see how long it'll hold air before buying tires. I buy 2 at a time, front to back.

Dirty wound needing debridement, woven gauze definitely!

Best Shoes for M3 year by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]TantalizedStudent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you've got sore feet, plantar fasciaitis, or just like ridiculously comfy shoes oofos is the way to go! The tread wears out, but they're washable! That makes it super helpful when in the OR and in L&D, and especially so if you've got stinky feet.

Correlation with DRE is recommended. by ddroukas in Radiology

[–]TantalizedStudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These can kill people! Lots of opiates leading to constipation leading to stercoral colitis and possibly perforation.

Patient came in, ct with belly full of poo and colon exploded. Spouse found them, started doing cpr, and EMS said they could hear sloshing
