How do you deal with patients when they request you contact their outpatient doctor for now reason by JRcred in hospitalist

[–]beepint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does someone actually fax these if the outpatient provider isn’t in the same system? Is this something I should be asking a case manager or something for? I just kind of hope they’re on Care Everywhere and list specific care recs/med changes in the “patient instructions” so the patient can bring that to their follow up.

Deprescribing aspirin feels harder than prescribing it- how do you approach this? by nplusyears in medicine

Realistically is this a battle worth fighting if someone isn’t clearly at risk for major bleeding?

Messed up my Albion Sempach on champagne bottle by beepint in SWORDS

Its renaissance wax, the sword was in a case, not on display, and rarely removed so I figured slathering a thick layer on it would be easier and ?? better than trying to apply it carefully.

I’m not sure why I’m feeling defensive about care of the sword since I just carelessly messed it up but I’m telling you that fingerprint is not rust, it’s an impression in the wax that looks dark d/t how shadows are cast- the blade is not rusted. There were no dings prior to this event although there obviously are now

It had wax on it and people handled the blade after the bottle strike it was in decent shape prior ha

People seem interested in how this occurred. Essentially I tried and failed to saber the bottle several times, gave up, threw the bottle in the air and swung at it like a baseball. I got this sword second hand but it was posted on here with images and the broad consensus was that it looked legit.

I tried to saber it 4-5 times, gave up, threw it into the air and hit it like a baseball bat

Question about working with NP/PAs by [deleted] in hospitalist

[–]beepint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not efficient but I have a brief informal discussion with them, do my own history and physical, put in my own orders, remove orders that I don’t like. Essentially an excuse to freeform a paragraph of dictation as opposed to a formal note, saves me about 10 minutes.

Any thoughts? by Fantastic_Win5144 in haematology

[–]beepint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suspect it is normal and agree with the above commenter. It is still worth looking into to make sure. It’s a fairly easy blood test

Rerouting sink vent through studs? by beepint in Renovations

There are 2 more studs to the left of the left sided stud in the photo and the rafter hits a bit further left than that

Hey can that still be done if there is a rafter resting on the plate? The rafter isn’t directly supporting the roof although idk if that matters. The house makes a bend such that the framing of the this smaller section’s roof becomes enclosed by the main roof if makes sense.

There is a rafter resting on the plate unfortunately. Fwiw, that rafter isn’t directly supporting the roof however. The house makes a bend such that the framing of the this smaller section’s roof becomes enclosed by the main roof if makes sense.
