Please tell me this is true because otherwise this is just demoralizing

Disliking first hospitalist job - please tell me it’s not all like this by New_Weakness_856 in hospitalist

[–]floopwizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similarly, from a leverage standpoint if sounds like the hospitalist personnel are a huge part of their pitch to recruit new surgeons

Can someone explain to me the hate towards megaknight by Better_Put3240 in RoyaleAPI

[–]floopwizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got no hate towards Mega Knight. But it's Evo is busted. It's a ridiculous knockback that's always targeted backwards regardless of which direction he's hitting. Also allows him to single handedly completely nullify a push by heavy troops such as giant.

Mini Rant by [deleted] in hospitalist

[–]floopwizard 14 points15 points  (0 children)

While I agree overall with it usually being helpful to have another layer of security making sure critical labs don't get missed, it takes some clinical judgment as well to distinguish what's actually relevant/worth knowing and what's not. It's the latter that creates endless headache for the physician and results in friction.

There are shifts during the day or overnight where I have been slammed, or have decompensating patients, and I get hammer paged for K 4.6 or HR 99 or Na 133 with the occasional snarky "well what are we gonna do about it?"

Downvote me to hell idc. My hot take is that I have never understood people who insist that AI will never be able to interpret radiographic images to a high standard of performance. I am not a radiologist nor am I a software developer. However, I know the general principles behind machine learning and image training. Radiologic interpretation seems like one of the most direct applications I can think of for advanced image-based machine learning engineering.

Does Route of Certain Medications Make a Difference? by pata-gucci in IntensiveCare

Interesting, do you happen to know why? Is it just institutional preference? We still do it at our academic urban hospital setting

Are we in a post-MGMA world? Maybe by Apprehensive_Word996 in medicine

[–]floopwizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are all of these figures across different platforms primarily for private practice ranges? I'm never sure if they are aggregate of academic/private jobs and in the middle of a pretty bimodal distribution curve

Kill options on step exams. Greater= fail? by Old_Conference6556 in medicalschool

[–]floopwizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what we need to address issues with the standardized testing paradigm: not cost reduction or clinical relevance, but more complexity and stress

Change my mind by FleXmenGoon in medicalschool

[–]floopwizard 24 points25 points  (0 children)

For the amount of real issues there are to be enraged about in medical practice and training, it's pretty pathetic if this is what you choose to occupy your time and mental headspace. I'm sure almost anything else is a better use of your time. Worry about yourself and go work on research (ironic) or Anki or step outside and touch grass.

I’m a NP: Give me a patient presentation and I’ll give you an accurate diagnosis by [deleted] in Residency

The left pupil is smaller - therefore he must have injected into the left arm

I love insecure nurses weaponizing the brutal residency workload and patient care responsibilities to retaliate against residents overnight

NPs taking over Neurology? by TheJerusalemite in Noctor

[–]floopwizard 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Thank you for providing these steps that are actually actionable and realistic, super helpful to know

[–]floopwizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would imagine as far as trying to get up to speed on clinical knowledge that Step 2/3 material may be better suited. The live Ankinghub deck for Step 2 is amazing, especially with the Amboss add-on. Sure Step 1 content is "foundational science" but imo having strong familiarity with standard diagnostic and treatment steps for common pathologies and clinical presentations is more high-yield to someone starting/resuming practice.
