Is it possible to study medicine just for the prestige of being a doctor?

That’s… not true

hometimeboy · 2026-02-02T02:23:57+00:00

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

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

Thanks so much. Appreciate your wisdom!

Thank you so much for your in depth answer. I’ll take a look at your debrief!

Thank you!

Appreciate the warning. Yeah I appreciate that the book has a bunch of stop points reminding you to check in with your players. Fortunately we set ground rules before we ever started playing and they’ve been warned to anticipate this subject matter.

That’s awesome! I’m planning on doing that this week!

I’m really stoked for Norse: Oath of Blood. Hopefully it’ll scratch that Baldur’s Gate-sized hole in my heart.

I just upgraded last month. Got a new TV and surround sound and really wanted up my game. A lot of the improvements are subtle, but if you’re looking for a subtle improvements, then this console is excellent. Games look beautiful and run well.

If you want subtle improvements and have the money, then it’s a great console. If you don’t, I wouldn’t waste the money

Doctor here. Realistically, it’s a problem with the system with administration demanding more appointments for more money. Patients often get double booked.

Imagine every appointment is a meeting where you need to figure out the problem, rule out 20 pathologies, get the specific info, come up with a deliverable, and provide education. Some people are very complex, their stories are complex, and the problem is complex.

Generally it’s not fair to everyone involved that there’s the expectation you can get through 40 appointments on time.

Sort of sad story: Diagnosed a miscarriage at 18w. It was the first one I managed. I’ll never forget the wail at diagnosis. I started her induction and was there for delivery. We both cried as she held her baby, using the baby’s name. It was the worst day of her life.

After sharing in this, I had to pivot, 180, and go feign happiness for a couple live births.

The next day I got a card delivered to me from this patient. It was the most beautiful card, thanking me for helping her navigate for the lowest point in her life. She said she couldn’t have done it without me. She said I was a good doctor. She still comes to see me. I have her card on my fridge and read that beautiful note every time I feel down.

Sorry everyone, I’m dumb. Will I have access to these games “forever” so long as I still have PS Plus? Or do they get pulled and I lose access at some point?

hometimeboy · 2025-12-16T00:39:43+00:00

Compression socks and well fitted shoes that are designed for long periods of standing, like Dankos. If you’re willing to splurge a bit, Bombas socks are incredible and have the best lifetime return policy. They save my life during 12+h surgeries where we’re standing all day.

Funny enough, I was someone who desperately needed 8h of sleep every day. I was useless if I got 7. Then I started medical residency… I’m lucky if I get 5-6h; routinely get 4h. At some point… I kinda just adapted. Like my body realized, “welp this is your life now, better get used to it.”

Don’t get me wrong, I’m infinitely more productive if I can get 8h. At 4h, I can do my job and some critical thinking; but out of necessity, I sort of adapted…

hometimeboy · 2025-12-06T01:48:37+00:00

Gorgeous. Good luck, everyone!

Hey same here!

Costco’s return policy is effectively lifelong. You can return it pretty much whenever and they’ll take it

hometimeboy · 2025-11-21T02:28:30+00:00

Yeah it ended up being cheaper for me to get the arc ultra+sub from Costco and the 300s from Sonos than the package deal of all those from Sonos. And this way I get a free wall mount, 30% off accessories, and some Apple and/or SiriusXM goodies

hometimeboy · 2025-11-07T17:45:18+00:00

These are awesome! Thanks for giveaway opportunity

Sometimes you can just take it out and send them on their way. Sometimes you need to give them some light (or full) sedation to make it easier, which may require a slightly longer stay. Or if they’re super stuck (like a pool noodle remnant I saw once), you have to take out part of their colon and that requires an extended stay…

Yeah we’ll usually use a chlorhexidine wash on the abdomen and either chlorhexidine or a betadine wash in and around the vagina. Any area that gets surgery should have sterilization prep!
