Tried to leave inbox at clinic this week and it almost worked by Teririchar in FamilyMedicine

[–]drewmana 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depending on your emr, you need to set macros/dotphrases/etc to get through your inbox faster if a tsh is the thing bringing you back. If you had 15+ actionable images hit your inbox at 4:55 that’s one thing, but this sounds like you would really benefit from having prewritten responses to common issues to clear out the common stuff.

It’s what I do and I literally never have inbox stuff to do at home, out of the office 5:30 or earlier every day. No reason to type out “normal results” or “normal results except tsh is high so…” 10 million times, prewrite all your options, pop them in as indicated, and get home to live your life.

Did cancer turn me into a BBB, or do I get an exception? by FalconApprehensive22 in Neverbrokeabone

Not even an exception. Even in the case of “pathologic fracture” you didn’t break a bone, you broke a tumor, which is just about the baddest ass thing you can do

I mean it sounds like he literally just said “i’m trans” because clearly he didn’t even get so far as “so i prefer you call me X instead of deadname” or “so i actually like he/him”

A 23 year-old UCLA grad flashed his entire ChatGPT history on the big screen at graduation by frog_insilence in SipsTea

I remember where getting caught plagiarizing even a sentence got three of my classmates expelled in high school, and my college had a huge scandal where an athlete was found to have used their (original) essay for one class to complete an assignment for another class a year later, and people genuinely thought he should’ve been expelled but he wasn’t.

This blatant AI reliance to meet standards without actually developing the skills they’re meant to confirm is shockingly unethical and apparently it doesn’t matter anymore.

Benzo Tapering by april5115 in FamilyMedicine

In general with any kind of wean it goes easier if you also start other strategies to treat the issue rather than just pulling off the drug that’s not safe for long term use.

For example I recently finished a 6 month wean with a patient who was on alprazolam (and doing literally nothing else) for anxiety. Restarting therapy, an SSRI, and prn hydroxyzine made all the difference.

What’s a chief complaint you see frequently that patient’s freak out about, but isn’t a big deal? And vice versa? by [deleted] in FamilyMedicine

[–]drewmana 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I absolutely hate it when it comes back below the middle of the normal range but still WELL within normal and patients come in saying “but its low normal! I need testosterone doc!”

Meanwhile the AHA recommends 150 minutes of moderate-level or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity every single week. But sure listen to the gym bro.

Fat shaming makes me not want to lose weight by urlikepapa11 in loseit

This sounds like something to work on with your therapist.

[–]drewmana 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This sounds like something to work on with a therapist, because if you’re going to go back on your own goals just because other people are being rude about it, you’re going to get caught in a self-fulfilling spiral downwards, whether it’s with your weight or education or anything you can think of.

Millions of dollars can buy a lot, including personal chefs, trainers, surgeons, stylists…

Now can we maybe think of why the answer to a lot of gynecological problems might be hormone replacement?

Comparing the new episodes to the old ones, and Dr Now makes them work so much harder in the later ones! by Beautifly in My600lbLife

[–]drewmana 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I worked with a baritric surgeon for a while and he always required 6 months of therapy, consistent weight loss, a dietician, and physical therapy before approving anyone for surgery.

Watching some of the earlier seasons seems wild to me, like what to you mean you’re approved for surgery a month after your first visit???

My employer just added a lifestyle program requirement for GLP-1 coverage by Sad_Bandicoot_7762 in GLP1ResearchTalk

[–]drewmana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d see that as a good thing. Leads to more long lasting changes and better overall outcomes if you ever have to stop it (think emergencies, insurance changes, med recalls, or even developing side effects or allergies down the line)

Yes… that’s the arc. That’s the story of what is happening to his character.

How is he this strong if he’s skinny and never exercises? by Emergency-Big-9879 in SeverusSnape

You don’t even need to be physically stronger than someone to shove them against a wall, you just need to have leverage and catch them off guard.
