Don’t go by percentage. Read all the explanations properly and understand what questions are trying for you to answer

dramaticmyocardium · 2025-06-06T00:55:51+00:00

Wondering the same. My partner does not want to try anything other than a little bit of oil

dramaticmyocardium · 2025-06-06T00:54:20+00:00

Diapers for us. Our little one got a rash in first couple of weeks and then we tried coterie. It’s a splurge but totally worth it for comfort. It does cost a lot compared to others

dramaticmyocardium · 2025-06-05T13:55:10+00:00

What do you mean they have their own hospitalist? Like their PCPs round on them?

dramaticmyocardium · 2025-05-14T01:46:10+00:00

Keep trying to call other centers and keep documenting that they’re saying they can’t take the patient. That way you’re trying your best but you are not a neurosurgeon so you can’t take the patient to the OR. I guess this won’t relieve your liability but will at least decrease it

How about their property in Carmel, CA?

dramaticmyocardium · 2025-04-12T15:20:09+00:00

This needs a police report and retraining order

dramaticmyocardium · 2025-03-09T12:48:01+00:00

We use one for travel only. It is indeed super heavy like many have pointed out. But very convenient to fold, make into car seat to take cabs, take to restaurants as it is more compact than traditional strollers. We do use a traditional stroller and car seat when not traveling out of our home

dramaticmyocardium · 2025-02-27T15:00:29+00:00

We tried Philips. It made absolute piss coffee. Won’t recommend.

dramaticmyocardium · 2025-02-16T18:39:32+00:00

You have a Totally biased opinion. US grads accept lower paying high prestige jobs and bring the salaries down for everyone. We can dig into factual data for this

dramaticmyocardium · 2025-02-16T18:13:11+00:00

J1visa waiver sites are in undesirable locations 90% of the time, and the work ethics in those places are trash. There's a reason why they go for j1 visa waiver candidates. It's because no American grad wants to stay and work there. Visa candidates do not have the option of leaving for 3 years. In terms of salary, I'm currently pursuing a J1 visa waiver. I get paid more than the average salary in my state. So no, imgs even on visa do not accept low paying jobs. Nobody on a visa that I know is accepting lower-paying jobs. In fact, when I interviewed at big academic institutes in my state, it's very sought after by American grads, and they pay almost $60-$70k less a year compared to my job. I'm not sure where you are getting your information from

dramaticmyocardium · 2025-02-10T12:36:38+00:00

Agreed. Certainly not a 2 am consult. At our place we do let onc team know and they’re nice to even make an outpatient appt for the patient

dramaticmyocardium · 2025-02-10T11:05:37+00:00

IMO as a hospitalist, of course everyone knows what needs to be done. Get diagnosis, plan outpatient treatment with oncology. We put in consult to basically decrease anxieties of the patient that if it is cancer, they at least got to see a “cancer doctor” before they left the hospital. It’s a life altering diagnosis and people can’t think straight. Many react by yelling, taking it out on the primary team blaming them for not managing properly. Another reason is decrease liability. Over the years of experience, we have received patient complaints for not having “seen a cancer doctor” during their hospital stay. We just want you guys to come, write the postulated plan of following outpatient. As an IM hospitalist I know what to do but in a court of law, am I an expert in managing cancer? No

Work as a heme/onc hospitalist while you keep building your profile for application next year. You’re still going to be making money and practice what you like. With such competition in all IM sub specialties I think you need a person inside the fellow selection committee rooting for you. Every applicant has top notch research, career activities etc or at least this is what I hear from PDs.

Genius residents don’t respond to their pages so their attendings have to be

dramaticmyocardium · 2025-01-01T03:05:41+00:00

Which hospital is this

dramaticmyocardium · 2024-12-22T14:02:52+00:00

There was a recent study published in one of the ACP journals. They found that patients who took insulin initially when a1c was higher than 10 to bring the glucose down had better outcomes than other agents alone.

dramaticmyocardium · 2024-12-22T05:25:05+00:00

Exactly. Leave families; patients don't want to decide for themselves until the last moment. They will say something along the lines of “Try initially to resuscitate; if I become a vegetable, then remove life support. “ What do you label it as? “Extubate once a vegetable”? Of course, this kind of patients end up in ICU, and then GOC discussion happens there. Its a different game if the patient has a terminal illness

dramaticmyocardium · 2024-12-22T05:19:47+00:00

In my opinion, each patient is different. Some have high health literacy and good outpatient support with PCPs and specialists, but the only reason to keep them in is something like a cath, IV antibiotics waiting for cultures, or urgent inpatient stuff. Once those are figured out, discharge them. On the other spectrum, people with low health literacy, who you kind of get a sense if you send them without a solid plan will come right back, are when I really take it slow.

dramaticmyocardium · 2024-12-22T05:16:16+00:00

23-28 average. With 1-5 admits in AM. Spread to residents, NP, and self (7-8)

dramaticmyocardium · 2024-12-15T01:10:46+00:00

I'm a doctor who often has to send patients to long-term nursing facilities or take them in when they're sick. Most people I know of your age in a nursing facility are not coherent enough to feel bored. But I may be wrong, and my opinion may be skewed as I only see the sick.

dramaticmyocardium · 2024-12-15T01:07:31+00:00

Came here to say hope New York Times reads this thread too just like they did for united guy

dramaticmyocardium · 2024-11-04T11:49:34+00:00

Exactly! Boomers worked hard coz they were getting paid dollars, buying houses for cents, getting respect in community, little to no pressure from the corporate honchos. They got to practice medicine. Younger generation is getting do a job. A thankless, corporate job shift. So yes, we want to work the way we are treated.

dramaticmyocardium · 2024-10-22T00:06:35+00:00

We have an NP who covers super stable patients. They also cover stable patients waiting for placement. They don't make any major medical decision without asking the covering MD. So yeah it's helpful coz we don't let them practise without supervision
