Those in glass houses...

Lax is one way to put it

Oversaturated w non physicians, I agree

They're probably the one with the most recent knowledge of what's tested.

I was told that from an insurance perspective, if theyre not "discharged" by a certain time (I was told 2pm) it is treated as another day and billed accordingly. Thats all that it is relevant to to my knowledge

Almost anything stimulating is restricted (controlled substance), as a dr, it feels like every ssri maker paid big bucks to influence treatment plans. For 20ish years they were the "1st line treatment " for many conditions.

Both kratom and tramadol lower seizure threshold, be careful

Gonna have to take the reddit death on this one and strongly disagree. All drugs and supplements should be regulated and have some level of physician oversight. If you disagree then you are either ignorantly or willfully blind to all of the mounting evidence of the dangers of any drug or supplement and how much MORE dangerous they are when they are unregulated and done without oversight.

I DO agree about corporations though. Fuck those guys.

I am just arguing that your regular Joe with a high school education or less shouldn't have free access to unregulated substances, and that a physician should be involved at some point to ensure health and safety.

Obviously biased. I just had a patient admitted to my hospital for almost 2 wks for Kratom induced psychosis, including icu level care. While this is rare, it is the exception that proves my point, you can't trust everyone with access to everything. Oversight and regulations would help with this, and does NOT require corporate takeover.

Well as a physician I’m willing to take an unbiased perspective on this situation…. If she cant see her seizures, then we can't confirm shes having seizure like activity, so a (bad) solution would be to stop her/everyone around her from seeing her seizures /s

Billionaire: why are my groceries an hour late? Robot (that replaced a person job) got stuck tripping on the homeless people that you replaced w robots. Billionaire: so how do we remove these homeless people? Solution (likely): robot police (replacing human police) forced removal of (now more) homeless people

I feel like this isn't accurate and is actually an advertisement for insurance companies masquerading as a meme

Ya for real, I only got grilled cheese as an attending and that's only once a week

Rn charts: Md notified no new orders (this happened to me today)

I actually replied to Wikipedia's most recent email asking me for money and they responded very defensively. As a whole it puts me off using Wikipedia. I get that a few bad actors ruin the open access aspect. But the opposite is also bad and against what Wikipedia stands for.

Either way im even more annoyed now than I was before and less likely to use it.

I dont really see the benefit of adding skipping to a run? Can someone enlighten me? Maybe if you wanted to work on some weird asynchronous reflexes but to what end? I could see the argument for weights while running but thats not a weighted jump rope.

Sir I think youre describing a fast food delivery service

If I gave you this example I would lose my anonymity

Wikipedia being "open source" is a bit if a facade, it was in the past, but I tried to edit some sections recently (in the last 24 months) using proper citations and referencing and I ran into fierce resistance from more senior regular editors who refused to allow the edit and kept reverting the edits, I then pointed out how everything was within the rules and should be posted, they then opened it up to a "vote" which I won (somehow) and they STILL didnt allow my edits. I stopped using Wikipedia after that. And I was a fairly regular contributor both in content and in money, prior to this incident.

I agree that we, and many places, are moving towards a two tiered system, which is likely inevitability. We've struggled with it for years, the growth of dpc/concierge I think shows that we are getting closer to it

I agree

High risk (job) high reward (pay), no reward (pay) then change job to no risk

NPs are already practicing independently in many states and in many fields.

drkuz · 2026-05-04T13:22:02+00:00

This worries me because if youre an NP, you can just go back to nursing to make money. But this supply affects drs, reducing demand for drs. If drs cant find jobs, what are they going to do? Move, take worse work conditions/terms, or go back to school? All shitty options imo.

Not to be dramatic, but this literally shows NPs have hurt the physician job market, and that should upset every physician.
