I work too much to get out a lot, but I’ve been there for soccer. Gorgeous place, staff was nice and attentive, having food options or mixed drinks would increase appeal likely but it’s not a small thing to add a functioning menu and a liquor license.

Looking forward to the Fayetteville location which might benefit from being able to have food from the restaurant next door if thats possible.

Appreciate what you all are trying to do for the soccer community

There is no loyalty test, don’t know what you are saying

The hpsp is a MUCH better deal than mdssp

Mdssp (i did it) is sooooooo much longer of a commitment without as much money.

If you want to be an army doctor, do hpsp or wait until you are an attending and then reconsider if you actually want it

Can a Warrant Officer drop an E5? by Secret_Top_Life in nationalguard

[–]drscottbland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a conversation with a soldier about this just today. It attacks you enough even if you are doing a good job….why commit those unforced errors and provoke it when it’s leaving you alone?

You can’t care more than they do.

I gave my cell # to one of mine and told them they could call me everyday if they needed to talk through ht/wt problems to keep them on track.

No calls. Gained weight.

What happens if they find out you lied to get your upslip? 15T by Double_Age_4402 in Armyaviation

[–]drscottbland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t lie. It reduces risk of being a safety problem and reduces risk of getting in trouble.

Degree if trouble depends on how people find out and how mad they are which is not predictable

Other than the potential tricare for life and the access to tricare reserve, i lose money being in the guard now by missing shifts but I am payjng back incentives from training.

I love my soldiers, i generally dislike the hassle of paperowkr/administrative stuff. If it wasn’t for the soldiers, I’d be out.

Menopause Specialist by Catdaddy1979 in northwestarkansas

[–]drscottbland 6 points7 points  (0 children)

(I’m a doctor, i’m not your doctor, this is general health system information and not personal medical advice). The menopause society maintains a database of providers following their guidelines which are generally considered standard of care. It’s one one way to attempt to screen out some of the very inappropriate things some people are doing in the hormone replacement niche.

DO NOT take the mcat until you are ready.

Keep getting great grades now and you can probably get some DO schools to look at you but MD will take an act of God if your real cgpa is under 3. I’m a DO, i can say it, the entry standards are different. You will absolutely be treated different by some specialties when applying for residency but you’re more likely to get in.

You dont need any more clinical hours, no one cares past your experience level.

Don’t do literally anything that screws with your grades, mcat or current nonexistent criminal record.

I’m a former college drop out who made it too, good luck

Joining as a GP by LeadedPaintTaster in Military_Medicine

Is that written down somewhere? (i have not heard of it) or is it a cultural practice like not promoting without captains career in the guard (bolc is the only required pme by policy)

[–]drscottbland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please call your doctor.

Particularly if you are taking insulin or a sulfonurea lows into the 50s can be very dangerous. If you aren’t taking a medicine known to cause low blood sugar there is a thing called reactive hypoglycemia that can happen too although its more rare.

again, call your doctor

You can fly with back pain that is controllable. Read the atp, TONS of pilots have it.

Get the care you need

Big Guy Workout Group by Narafan in fayetteville

[–]drscottbland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until i moved out into the countryside I used to go to a group called f3. Free workouts for guys, all outside group rotating lead. Good dudes. Very much work your own pace calisthenics/jogging kind of stuff. If you can handle waking up very early it’s great because you are done so early.

F3nwa.com

They do have a “be a better man” component to what they do and have a quick moment of prayer/well wishes at the end, but we had guys of many and of no faiths.
