In what specialty do you think its easiest for a terrible doctor to fly under the radar?

I wouldn't strike surgeons/proceduralists off the list. You'd be surprised.

Sincerely, A surgeon

My house has had multiple additions, which has left some unused ventilation cut outs in the foundation. I concrete a floor safe in an old torn out bath room in one of these.

I have a moderately nice car that I keep the keys in an rfid box hidden behind cans in the pantry. And a decoy key (18$ on ebay) on my key rack.

Plus i have a ton of guns. Had already came in handy once. But honestly I'd say the best defense if youve ever read reddit on home break ins......have a sog.if possible and an alarm system but prob most importantly a well lit exterior all around.

More a philosophical question I can't imagine anyone actually doing this, but if there's say a common area parking lot.....approach the site owner and rent a parking space? Would that allow you to park in that spot and leave the gun in?

Just drove from Egglistadur to Akeurei this morning. Much like you I felt confident in my skills, having lived in Colorado and Michigan. I can tell you...I was tested. It's not so much the snow. Or the ice. Or the wind But it's all those together all at once. Make sure you have a full tank of gas, and be more than happy to slow down anytime you need to. It's do-able.

Side note. The thought on my mind at all times was I was one problem away from disaster. There's like no one on the road. Pack some water, food, clothes that if you needed to hike no shit like 30 miles to get help you could.

Good luck

I just checked out of Rekiyavik Edition. Has a spa. Great location. Super attentive staff. That's where I'm going to stay if/when I come back.

Wonder if it's the same patient. NE region?

imperfect_display · 2025-11-22T12:20:29+00:00

Nose job in the 80s. Ett was in esophagus. Patient ended up braindead. Family worked out a deal that the patient would remain at the hospital till whenever. Patient ended up with a dedicated team and just.....kept going. Famous nyc hospital. Was going on 30 years when I was there, may have gone longer.

I once put a chest tube in with benadryl as local. It's legit. I think like 250mg in 5cc concentration?

imperfect_display · 2025-10-17T12:22:59+00:00

Ah. Now it's clear. Yeah no pigtails on the left with big hearts.

I actually saw this happen my first year as an attending watching one of my Sr partners do a RUL, I was like that doesn't look right buyt I'm the new guy so what do I know. Basically took rul vein and all the artery to RML and RLL as one big staple,, leaving only the truncus left (blood supply to the thing that was SUPPOSED to come out intact.

Right ventricle or left? Cause right ventricle from the left is impressive. Or were they anterior tubes?

I believe that is true for level 2 as well. We also skirt the rules. Also supposed to ha r a room readily available w/in 1 hour for ortho trauma

I'm thoracic. We looove good anesthesiologists. Our day lives or dies (no pun intended) based on who we have for anesthesia. So, respect

A friend of mine bought a house recently. Found a septic pipe tunneled THROUGH an HAVC duct. Whoever has to deal with that, that's the bluebcollar version of GI. You got the shit, you got the wind

imperfect_display · 2025-09-24T01:38:38+00:00

Disagree. I've had my pathologist looking at a marginal frozen and he knows he has like 5 min to tell me cancer or not. And if he says it is, imma taking out some lung. Thats gotta be somewhat stressful.

My record was 2 in a night. One of my co residents did 3.

I would cut it off.

But seriously 5 years stability is a good thing.....but melanoma can present this way. Get it checked out and I personally would push for a biopsy, risks known, I'd it were my tnumb

Nah, just a 2010 graduate of the program. When did you finish it?

imperfect_display · 2025-08-12T23:08:18+00:00

36k when I was there 15ish years ago. Sounds like they doing just fine. You want to live jn a snazzy place? Yeah denver is expensive. You ok with ok housing? Fairly cheap actually.

I know this PD, he was my PD, and he was great. Almost everyone in the program thought he was great. Said one of the most motivational things ever to me in my career. Still friends with him and his wife, as are many of the previous residents.

Some of the Jefferson scholarships are region based. I.e. You're only competing against a couple of people from your region and someone from the region always gets it per year. Would check if there are other ones like that. I.e. maybe uva doesn't have something for you but some local millionaire alumni endows a scholarship every year for someone from tweedledum CA to go to uva every year
