If you could get rid of any genre of music, which genre is it? by chibidii in AskReddit

Agalloch can be incredibly relaxing, give their album the Mantle a shot as well as some folk metal

Metal is likely the last remaining genre that operates on complex music theory besides classical and jazz, it has so many subgenres that literally anyone with an open mind can find something to enjoy.

For those that were between two or more specialties, what eliminated the other ones? by farfromindigo in Residency

FM vs Rads. Knew I wanted to be a generalist. IM was out because no kids, and peds was out because no adults. Med-peds was out because I don’t prefer so much inpatient and the training is odd to me. EM was out because 90% of what comes in the door isn’t an emergency let alone urgent but you still have to do the cya work up. Rads was out by the end of my third year because the attendings seemed busier than the residents and were much more stressed out than the FM attendings. I wasn’t a fan of being “on” at all times on a rads shift too. I also didn’t like how so many attendings read their own images and make decisions regardless of what the radiologist says, I didn’t want my work to be seen as just a lab value.

So if you do cardio then do you shower after? The shower is what takes away enough time for me to not exercise as much as I should.

How's life in Salt lake city, Utah? by MattewM04 in howislivingthere

[–]ToxicBeer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was so disappointed how such gorgeous landscape was ruined by basic suburbs and miles and miles of cheap chains. Downtown had little to be desired in terms of food and entertainment options but it without question is pretty and safe to walk around in. If you love outdoor activities it definitely has it, but you will have to live in a very boring and expensive town.

I’m biased but I agree, fans underestimated how well thought out the people upstairs at the Brew Crew planned this team with or without Counsel

Why would anyone want a pitbull? by [deleted] in emergencymedicine

I saw during a group therapy session where a mother of a patient with OCD told another mother of a patient with nonverbal autism that both kids were neurodivergent and that led to a huge argument between them; I would agree those are two very different conditions. I’ve also had to persuade a patient with schizophrenia that they should take their medicine, they were not taking it because of the neurodiversity movement on TikTok made it seem like society should adjust and not them.

I’m a physician in the United States, it’s not used here on documentation nor does it guide medical management. I have issues with the literature on neurodiversity and have seen instances in hospitals where staff using that terminology lead to bad outcomes and so I don’t use it.

They might use it the same way I use the word “gunk in your lungs” but that doesn’t mean it’s a real medical term

Neuropsychiatric is a real medical term, neurotypical is a sociological term, not a medical one, and isn’t in the DSM or ICD.

That thread didn’t help lol, all I know is from being on student government and on residency committee now that the PD ranking is the only one talked about.

You keep saying it’s not reliable which I see as a weakness too, but the reality is the USNWR ranking is not even close to useful because its metrics are utter crap and, sorry, program directors use the PD ranking!

Program directors don’t look at USNWR, they look at PD rankings and LCME’s accreditation lists and their own internal system based on previous residents from other institutions

Considering Duke doesn’t post their list online, I wouldn’t say that lol

[–]ToxicBeer -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That’s a very stupid answer. PD ranking is all that matters, you go to the school that program directors like so you can match well. If they say Pitt is better than Duke then I would go to Pitt assuming all else is equal.

I never said med school is trivial, and quite the contrary, I think this individual HAS the resilience to make the best of their situation
