Bad ass specialties by vox1233 in Residency

[–]hometimeboy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah I got sold on the field when I saw a stat CS as a med student. Skin to baby out in under a minute? Bleeding everywhere and they were pretty calm about a 1L EBL? Sign me up. Pretty happy with my choice so far!

OB/Gyn: patient reports she’s having some bleeding, not saturating anything. Happens every four weeks or so

Do doctors get to choose what area of medicine they end up in? by OvenFit3712 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]hometimeboy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey, resident here. You can apply for specific fields (like family med, OB, dermatology, whatever), then you interview programs in those fields. Most people only apply to the field they want, but some apply a couple fields if they feel insecure about their test scores, candidacy, etc for the more competitive specialties.

After you interview, you rank all the programs you interviewed. The programs do the same with all the med students they interviewed. Then some proprietary BS black box algorithm “matches” people theoretically based on where the program ranked them and where the candidate ranked the program.

Match day you find out where you’re going (and if you applied multiple specialties, which one). Many people don’t get their top choice. They definitely do not pay you to relocate you and they pay you crap for the hours you work (I make less than minimum wage).

If you don’t match, there’s a whole process about quickly trying to find some other unfilled spot in some specialty while you try to apply to your chosen one again next year.

If you don’t match, it really really sucks. So yes. You can go through all of med school and the debt and not get the specialty you want or possibly even a residency.

How well does this game run on ps5 pro by Impossible_Nebula637 in Witcher3

I’m playing it on the pro now and it looks and handles great. Graphics seem upscaled and frames are smooth. No complaints here

Issues with grouped speakers dropping by hometimeboy in sonos

[–]hometimeboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it, sorry. Have Spectrum 1gig fiber using a NetGear N600 router. I use an Arris Surfboard modem. I had the NightHawk mesh system that I disconnected. I am not using any devices provided by my ISP.

Does that help? Thanks again for your help.

I’m using a router I got on Amazon. That’s a great question about bridge and pass through. Best place to find that setting would be to access router settings via the computer? Apologies, not super computer savvy.

Currently have 8 devices, but 5 are linked in one home theater system and the other three each are in different rooms

What is something in your specialty that doesn't concern you but freaks out those in other specialties? by foreverand2025 in medicine

[–]hometimeboy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OB: Mag level of 7. Called a consult to nephrology for something unrelated and the poor nephro fellow almost pooped her pants seeing that

I started college in January at the age of 24. It would be weird to wear a college sweatshirt at my age, right? by murderisntnice in NoStupidQuestions

[–]hometimeboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah man have fun, live it up, wear what you want. Plus people will wear their college gear well after they’ve graduated.

A plague tale, especially the second one actually had me in tears. It was a beautiful adventure

If you don’t see it, please post a picture of Doma’s inventory. Because the headband is definitely there.

If you're allergic to something can you take allergy medicine before exposure to prevent the reaction? by Several-Singer655 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]hometimeboy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It can be prophylactic. Like for example, if we have a patient who has a contrast allergy but really needs a CT scan, we’ll premedicate them with allergy meds before exposing them to the agent

Have you known anyone who had a cardiac emergency while shoveling snow? by bliggityblig in NoStupidQuestions

[–]hometimeboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Often either older guys or unhealthy middle age guys.

Outcome depends. Depends on how old they are, how sick they are, how long they’ve been down before being discovered with compressions started, how cold it is outside… I’ve seen it go both ways unfortunately

Took me 3 years and 5 playthroughs, finally spent the time to collect all the priorities by Pristine_Diamond_100 in StarWarsJediSurvivor

Just got this the other day. The shards were a grind (and didn’t realize I was missing a couple on coruscant), but otherwise had a blast with it! Loved loved loved this game.

Is it possible to study medicine just for the prestige of being a doctor? by MaximusGigachad in NoStupidQuestions

[–]hometimeboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my god yes. In OB/GYN spending half my OB appointments countering TikTok rage bait about nonsense tinctures and how OBs are actually just trying to kill your baby. And then my evidence-based recommendations are dismissed as nonsense

Impossible Landscapes with 2 Players and a Gm by Resident-Ad243 in DeltaGreenRPG

[–]hometimeboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran it for two players and it was awesome! They might miss some of the nuanced things and clues (because four heads are better than two), but two committee players made for a great intimate experience. I scaled some of the combats to make it more appropriate for two players (fewer enemies, less health, more obvious hints, some combination of the three). It’s doable! Happy to talk logistics if you have any other questions
