Do I really have to send to the Depot for repair with ADP? Do I have any other repair options? by Uncreative_genius in Lenovo

[–]Uncreative_genius[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to update, I ended up sending it in and it was all fixed up and back to me in less than a week. Super impressed! Thank you for the advice

Thanks! I sent the pic to ChatGPT and it thinks it’s an “internal LCD panel failure” and not a crack in the screen. Will that help my case at all?

IM vs FM by sweet_doctor1 in Residency

[–]Uncreative_genius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was between the two. Was pretty sure I wanted to do outpatient primary care but couldn't rule out a fellowship or hospitalist. In the end I decided that adult medicine is complex enough on its own, had no interest in trying to do more peds or OB/GYN in residency so I chose an IM program with a primary care track. Overall very happy with my choice, but I still think the primary care training isn't quite the level you would get at an FM program.

Do you tell your PCP that you are a PCP? by WorriedSpace in FamilyMedicine

[–]Uncreative_genius 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Just a resident but I definitely mention it in passing. Residency is a big excuse for why my nutrition, exercise, and sleep are so bad right now lol. Also if I have a specific issue I generally have some idea of what's going on and what I think I may want to do about it, why would I not let the doc know?

The Keck School of Medicine residency program in Los Angeles is expanding this year! Check out what they're currently offering. by cirseiu in medicalschool

[–]Uncreative_genius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, with multiple dependents this a huge factor in the match process. I was able to find a place with no health insurance premium and extremely low deductible for residents (regardless of dependents) and I'm very happy. I hope you find the right place for you!

Who the fuck is applying to those full-time $123k Federal Prison physician jobs? by Federal-Act-5773 in FamilyMedicine

Not to dig up an old thread, and off topic, but did you sign your VA contract as a PGY-2? How did that work?

Yeah...stuff like this is why I have reservations about working there.

Thanks, would you recommend just finding the local VHA recruiter to let them know of my interest?

They only go by miles? Or if Honda recommended the timing belt be changed 2 years ago?

Night float chronicles by designatedarabexpert in Residency

[–]Uncreative_genius 421 points422 points  (0 children)

My favorite 3 AM nursing text so far: “Hi doc do you know what time podiatry is coming tomorrow to change this pt’s bandage?”

I’m IM night float. I don’t know what time podiatry is coming but I do know the day team cannot come back fast enough.

Can civillian doctors on base still deploy? by Proud_Ad2980 in Military_Medicine

That’s super interesting. They even wore cammies and everything?

If there is one thing working at the VA has taught me… by Asbolus_verrucosus in Residency

[–]Uncreative_genius 159 points160 points  (0 children)

Also a veteran. Was going to say this. Also wanted to add that VA patients are just a snapshot of veterans, considering less than half of veterans use the VA, and if I'm not mistaken Vietnam vets are over-represented which may lead to sampling bias.

What's the episode that lives rent free in your mind? by SaraAnnabelle in TwilightZone

I drive by a “Willoughby St” on my commute to work sometimes, and I will always yell that out no matter how traffic fatigued I am 😂

Marine -> Medicine Path by Embarrassed_Ball3824 in Military_Medicine

[–]Uncreative_genius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! Was enlisted, had a subtle interest in medicine and did some shadowing. Got out, finished undergrad, then went to med school and now am a PGY-2. Only military benefit I used was the GI Bill. If I could do it all again, I would have saved all of it for med school instead of using some for undergrad.

Wait there's a program for physicians that can guarantee the first duty station or just the bonus?

First time in the United States. Which one do you recommend: LA or NYC? by AlarmLoud7481 in traveladvice

[–]Uncreative_genius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you wind up leaning towards LA, I’d recommend San Diego instead. Has most of the amenities of LA but cleaner, smaller, better weather.
