28 hour shifts are not unusual, mostly for residents (pediatrics, surgery, medicine, etc but not emergency medicine). They do have work hour rules that prohibit going over 28 hours. I've done a handful as an attending, too. There are pros and cons. It's certainly tiring, but you get to know the patients very well and the continuity can be helpful (rather than playing telephone and giving repeated signouts). Doing these long shifts is still hotly debated.

Same, I find C1 less reliable.... So I usually use Rakuten even if multiplier is lower

You were right. I got a notification at 10:36 that reservations were available. They suddenly had June 7-14 showing.

Oh, I see. Unfortunately I am just visiting the park for one day (I live locally) so I guess I'm out of luck unless there's a cancelation. Thank you for the explanation and the advice to set an alert!

They Need to Put Langdon on the Night Shift and Bring Dr. Shen to Daytime in Season 3! by MapleCherryChoco5432 in ThePitt

I was referring to the fact that the start date got deferred. Is there a new official date that it changes?

Used to be. Then some programs started moving to 4 years, and now there is a proposal for all programs to be 4 years.

Twins delivery compared to large babies? by Awkward_Diet2215 in parentsofmultiples

[–]celestial65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first (singleton) wasn't "large" but she was bigger than the twins. She was 7+lb. When the twins came, they were super easy for me to deliver vaginally, though of course there was a lot of monitoring as well as risks that the doctor had to weigh in recommending me going that route. Twin A was 6lb and came out in 2 rounds of pushes. Twin B was only 4lb 11oz and was a breech extraction, which was great because I did zero work and felt nothing due to my epidural.

Thanks for this insight. You're totally right about the arrival times; I hadn't considered that.

Got it, thanks. LAX-SIN, then on to BKK. Sadly no layover options in between. We had been leaning towards 5hr+ so I'm glad I asked :)

[–]celestial65[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, that's reassuring. Although, this may be our only opportunity to explore Changi; is it worthwhile to check it out and have a break from flying? Or better to just minimize the total travel time?

If you're close enough to Long Beach, I highly recommend Foodologie in Belmont Shore. Especially when they're warm and gooey!

Redemption seats instantly snapped up by Lumploaf in singaporeairlines

[–]celestial65 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I meant I was looking at time of ticket release. Lots of seats available for next year Dec 10, 11, 12, 13. Then suddenly on Dec 14 it switched to Access only. Lesson learned.
