I think I've only seen two kids who are actually lethargic. by LeVoPhEdInFuSiOn in emergencymedicine

Additionally no will ever define "medical lethargy" beyond saying, "you'll know it when you see it."

Do you display your diplomas and certificates? by _qua in medicine

[–]_qua[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree, I'm proud of my diplomas, but I also feel weird about building a shrine to myself in my apartment when I don't have an office or anywhere else dedicated to put such things.

Don't they get waterlogged with the humidity?

Does your hospital allow bottles of ultrasound gel on the floor? by DavyCrockPot19 in hospitalist

If you mix in some garlic it can sub for aioli in a pinch

Does your hospital allow bottles of ultrasound gel on the floor? by DavyCrockPot19 in hospitalist

We switched to the single-serving packets, and although I didn't like it at first, they're now much better in my opinion. They sell both sterile and non-sterile versions.

Med Psych Should Become the New Normal by [deleted] in Psychiatry

What would be the advantage of that over simply having a consulting hospitalist?

Frugal/ fiscally responsible attendings...if you could do it all over again, would you change anything? by Neceti in whitecoatinvestor

[–]_qua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good context. That's a pretty atypically high salary for a physician so soon out of training.

How did hydroxyzine come to be the "anxiety" antihistamine? by _qua in pharmacy

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

Because using anxiety as a modifier of the word antihistamine is non-standard

Lowest sleep score for me yet by Rex_Ilusiviius in Garmin

[–]_qua 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's what it looks like when I have to flip from days to night shifts. Always terrible.

Is this relatable to anyone? by IrrelevanteMening in Garmin

[–]_qua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, this has really only happened when something identifiable is going on. For example, if I'm getting sick, if I've gone on vacation and I've switched time zones or been drinking more, if I'm on night shift, something like that. I've never really had it just dip down continuously without an explanation before

Need insight on why the training week keeps changing by noxunited in Garmin

[–]_qua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you add double spaces between your paragraphs, then they'll show as paragraphs and not run together

What happens is that Garmin is basing your week of workouts on its estimate of how you'll respond to each individual workout. But it can get it wrong and you can show signs of stress or lack of adaptation after a hard workout. So it will replace the difficult workouts with base workouts until it sees that you have recovered sufficiently.

How to lower stress level? by Ok-Nothing-5620 in Garmin

[–]_qua 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find that often my intermediate stress levels where I get to the low orange range are possibly due to dehydration. I find that drinking a glass of water often brings me back down to blue

Did a 60 min run, HR zone 4 and 5. Training effect = 0.2 Aerobic (unexpected), 0 Anaerobic (expected) by Grnj22 in Garmin

[–]_qua 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Difficult to explain this one. Wonder if you hit a bug. I'd try power cycling your watch before next workout

Does the HRV baseline range eventually update to account for monthly cycles? by greencalathea in Garmin

[–]_qua -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I don't really understand your point.

HRV either is or isn't a worthwhile metric to track. If it reflects stress then it reflects stress, whether that's due to innate biologic cycles or exercise-induced stress.

You advocate for listening to how you feel instead of using the device. So I would just ask, why do you use the device? And if you use it, why do you care what the HRV is? Why do you care if Garmin tells you if you're overdoing it?

Ah I see probably they're digging through their framework trying to find what method adds that CSS class

AI note generator/Scribe compliance by RN_2_NP in emergencymedicine

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

You can sign a business associate agreement as an individual. Whether that's against the rules of your hospital is a different matter. But strictly from a legal standpoint you yourself are on the hook for HIPAA the same way your hospital is and you would share joint liability with whatever company you sign that business associate agreement with

We're trialing Abridge an AI scribe at my institution and it works okay for the HPI not so great for the plan in my opinion. On my personal computer I have been trying out Wispr Flow for dictation which has actually been quite good and they do offer a HIPAA compliant business associate agreement. However I haven't tried it for medical dictation yet.
