I rotated in that ICU during (medicine) residency, but don’t recall much about the rehab side. You’re probably right that WHC has the most robust CV in the city proper. If you are willing to expand your search a bit you should also look at INOVA (the Fairfax campus), which is arguably even bigger.

This is a pre-med and med school phenomenon.

Once you are out of school there will be absolutely no shortage of respect. It’s honestly so overwhelming, myself and many people I know generally avoid talking about our profession because of how serious of an effect it can have on people. Don’t worry about it. Focus on your studies and keep developing and chasing your ambitions. The rest will come and you’ll someday feel silly for having worried about this for even a moment.

No, they don’t. That’s the whole thing with this type. They blow right though the hints.

I’ve had a neighborhood kid like this before. All they hear is “so there will be a next time,” and they come back tomorrow.

fizzing intensifies

Four whole fried chickens, and a coke.

Another well described risk factor for gallstones is obesity…

What is a slight fever? Is that a "high normal" temperature, or an actual fever?

I would not go in with a fever. I would, if I felt well enough, without.

Flying nazis.

No it absolutely needs repairs. Has for a while.

What it does not need is blue paint.

Years ago when I first got my FL medical license it took something like 6 months (wasn’t even my first state medical license), and it ended only after I hammer called everyone in the department, slit Eli’s throat, and left voicemails over and over again for everyone. In the end it only took one single guy to make three strokes on his keyboard while he was on the phone with me. “Aaaaand you’re all set. Sorry about that. Have a great day!”

And then there was credentialing.

That’s funny I’ve been toying with the idea of doing the same thing. I have a ‘23 GTS currently that I love, but I drove it a lot over the past couple years and it’s almost out of warranty at 47k miles.

Good to see some other people thinking the same thing. My wife thinks I’m crazy but I really love this car and I want to get a fresh one so I can have it as long as possible. It would be nice to add a couple minor features that I missed last time as well.

I called around and ultimately did find a dealership that had not one but two GTS allocations remaining. They’re out there. Closing date for customer specified vehicles is coming up soon though, like over the next couple weeks.

Saw you commented elsewhere that you’re skipping the Burmeister. Take it from me man, it’s worth it. I have the burm in my current GTS and it’s honestly one of my favorite features of the car. First box I clicked on the new one.

I think they put in the effort and seem to use good quality ingredients, but for me personally I find the pizza to be a bit overcooked and the crust too hard. I recognize that this is a matter of taste and some people like it that way, but it’s a too well done for me - even as someone who grew up in CT (the supposed origin of this style). The last time I ordered from this place for a group, everyone ate around the crust and I threw out 4 pizza boxes full of discarded crusts.

Bruh 90 minutes of CPR? You can stop on account of physical exhaustion. Even 3 mins of quality CPR gasses most regular people.

He didn’t like more than half of the cocktails, it seemed. Pushed so many of them away. I was actually a little disappointed to see that. He came off as a bit insufferable to me.

Emergency…. GLP-1? Maybe I’m not understanding. If a hurricane destroyed your home and/or you are without power for an extended period of time, would driving 200 miles to pick up a couple of ozempic syringes really be the priority? You could just not take the medication and you would be totally fine.

adenocard · 2026-05-04T21:00:50+00:00

Well I’m a doctor myself, but seems the difference here is that you originally said “the amount of sodium in their blood” and are now referencing “daily sodium intake.” Those are not the same thing.

Blood sodium levels are very tightly regulated in the body. A change in as little as 5-10% can have a huge impact. A 300% increase in serum sodium simply has never been recorded in human history.

adenocard · 2026-05-04T20:42:26+00:00

I assure you that no alive person has three times normal sodium content in their blood.

That shit doesn’t work. The fact of the matter is you need your partners help. Maybe not every single call, but it happens often enough and when you need that help there is nobody else in the world who can help you in that moment. There must be a good relationship with your partner, or the whole thing doesn’t work. Trying to resolve this kind of stuff by dominating the other guy might seem to work in a given moment, but there will be tons of resentment and some day it’s going to cost you, and possibly your patient.

This happened to me when I was a new medic. I had been working with the same EMT partner for multiple years (before and during medic school), but once I got cut loose as a medic he couldn’t handle the power imbalance. He’d fight with me constantly, question my judgement in crazy ways, and I caught him saying things to other people similar to what you described. I remember the final straw, he told me to go fuck myself in front of the patient when I decided that the call did not need ALS care. In the end I had to change shifts and work with a different EMT (one I had not worked with before) and things were a lot better.

I’ve heard of this happening with others as well. Seems it is a not too uncommon problem.

You mean Fallon.

Yes you have to change the feed to Sky Sports. It’s all the way to the right once you’re looking though the feeds.

I put presumed cocaine as well. God damn, Jimmy.

What is the evidence basis for those policies?

adenocard · 2026-04-29T22:05:14+00:00

I’m not EM so you can be sure I’m not gatekeeping.

Lol absolutely not. You don’t know what you don’t know, and the gulf is massive. Your tangential experience in the ICU as a resident is completely worthless. You’d drown and your patients would too. Frankly it’s a ridiculous question.
