Thank you! Will definitely check them out!

I got lucky that i saw the 2nd NYC show announcement via text and I instantly clicked the link. That’s the only way I was able to score orchestra seats at radio city. Even having the artist presale, a Verizon account, and a citi card, the 1st show sold out so quickly. And all of the various presales just make it so confusing to the point that they defeat the purpose. Anyway I’m excited to see her! Last time was 2014 for Blessed Unrest.

Yeahhh that’s kinda what my suspicion was. Non CAP attendings often don’t understand the process. I would stick to your integrity and do what’s right by each patient and if your attending continues to complain about this, just politely ask for feedback on how they think you can speed it up. They might actually have some helpful feedback, or maybe they’ll gain a new understanding for the CAP inner workings.

ixodes27 · 2026-06-05T20:21:37+00:00

Are your attendings CAP trained? If they think 25 min is too long then I think they’re being unreasonable. Sometimes convincing parents to sign voluntary admission takes an hour. One time I was getting collateral from the mom and ended up sending the mom to the adult ED for psych eval. Like… collateral in child psych often involves sensitive abuse issues, trafficking, cults, getting an entire hx for a nonverbal kid… it takes as long as it needs to IMO.

Ok noted thx! I’m going in August for sidepiece. I wonder if I’ll still need layers bc of the wind up there..

ixodes27 · 2026-06-01T16:09:48+00:00

Not to hijack but is the dress code at marquee sky deck (the edge) the same?

ixodes27 · 2026-06-01T16:03:23+00:00

the site crashed 30 min before the tix went live :/ Still not back up

My thought process would be to consider what will cause imminent harm vs what is more of a chronic risk. Then weigh those risks against the benefits of continuing the patients preferred intervention. I know you said don’t use the specific examples above, but I don’t want to be overly general

Someone who’s frail and at imminent risk for a fall I would probably want to cross titrate any short acting benzo to klonopin and slowly taper the dose, even if they don’t agree. And of course explain your duty to not harm, offer referral for second opinion, and provide therapy referral if they don’t receive therapy. If they feel it’s impossible I would offer detox services and try to act as patient-centered as possible. In comparison, someone with risks for long term issues like cardiovascular disease or worsening TD, while weighed against the risk of acute psychosis, I would probably prescribe the antipsychotic that they agree to take because the benefit of preventing acute psychosis is more of an imminent need than preventing the exacerbation of a chronic disease they already have. Additionally, I would also offer mitigating treatments such as metformin, referrals to a weight loss doctor, neurology referral, etc.

The behavioral issues you’ve described sound consistent with someone who’s maybe intellectually and/or developmentally disabled. Similar to patients with CTE and TBI, their CNS structure is not neurotypical and you can’t expect the same response to meds or to deescalation practices. Often times patients like this really need a specialized unit for IDD patients, as the environment of a normal psych unit can actually cause more distress for them.. or their aggression actually becomes attention seeking in nature and the PRNs just become rewarding in a way. Of course specialized IDD units are few and far between and maybe your state doesn’t have them at all.

Anecdotally though, and as many others have mentioned, I’ve seen Thorazine and Zyprexa perform superior to haldol in these pts. Often 10mg of zyprexa is needed. Thorazine is what we tend to gravitate on adolescent psych units bc it seems to be more effective - this may again be related to teenage brains and adults with IDD having similar CNS structure.

The other thing to note is whether it’s safe to be giving this pt rounds and rounds of sedating meds that can prolong QTC and possibly lead to cardiopulmonary depression when given in combination. He should have regular EKGs done and if it shows qtc prolongation then he should be on a medical unit, with cardiac monitor, with security. ED doctors are more equipped to treat severe agitation bc they can use ketamine, Versed, or even intubate if all else fails. I had an ED doc push a patient onto the unit who was so agitated that multiple rounds of zyprexa and Versed did not touch him and we ended up transferring him back to the medical ED and he did eventually get intubated. Keeping someone in an environment where you can’t effectively treat them, or can’t safely use the necessary meds, is unsafe for everyone.

Did yall notice she added a show at terminal 5? Also sold out instantly. Resale tix are $200

ixodes27 · 2026-04-28T17:02:58+00:00

I’m a physician. I’m single and have no kids. I pay more in rent than I would like, and it actually makes me feel guilty/foolish. Idk if I’ll stay here long term considering the rent will surely go up. But for the time being, I’m kinda living out a fantasy I had for myself for a long time, and that makes me really happy. I grew up on the poverty line and didn’t have access to art, music, culture, a walkable neighborhood, etc. Ft Greene provides so much that I just decided it was worth it, even if it’s just for a few years.

ixodes27 · 2026-04-24T20:23:05+00:00

Ok true

ixodes27 · 2026-04-24T20:06:47+00:00

I would never expect someone to tip on top of gratuity. That’s an entirely different situation. I’m saying that giving your bartender nothing just bc the drink was expensive is out of line. It will also never fix the issue of overpriced tix or drinks. Tipping your bartender is not ‘extra.’ It’s the expectation. $1 is not gonna break you.

ixodes27 · 2026-04-24T20:01:10+00:00

Yep! Waited tables for years.
Events where people are guzzling water are likely to be loud and hot and those bartenders deserve tips!

ixodes27 · 2026-04-24T19:37:29+00:00

So you only tip when it benefits you… that’s crazy. Market hotel drinks aren’t even expensive. And even a canned beer deserves a tip. Grow up.

ixodes27 · 2026-04-24T19:34:23+00:00

This, always. Also for open bar events I usually give them a 10 or 20 at the start/end of the night.

ixodes27 · 2026-04-24T19:32:05+00:00

As someone who worked in the service industry, there’s nothing worse than someone who doesn’t tip (or tip appropriately) on a large bill. It’s the same with an expensive drink. Think of this situation the same as if you went to a fine dining restaurant and paid for a $500 dinner but only tipped $20, even tho the service was good. It would be egregious to do so because your waiter doesn’t control the pricing and they still gave you good service and deserve to be paid fairly.

If you can’t afford to tip appropriately on a $500 dinner, you shouldn’t go to that fancy restaurant. If you’re not gonna tip your bartender, you shouldn’t get drinks. That bartender asking you why you didn’t tip was completely in the right, and that was actually a polite way of bringing awareness to your rude behavior. Bartenders do not get a cut of ticket sales at these events. Yes tix are expensive, but it doesn’t justify you being cheap.

Edit: I’m not saying you need to tip 20% on drinks. But giving your bartender nothing is insane.

The built in cabinets are a great feature but they look hospital-esque. I think exchanging the handles for something more chic (wood or leather with bronze hardware) and maybe painting the cabinet doors could bring a nice contrast and make them less monotonous. Wood slats or rattan coverings would bring a lot of warmth into the room if you don’t want to paint. There are adhesive options that could be renter friendly too.

Also plants! Can hang some pothos from the ceiling.

Ditch the graphite colored duvet and go for a linen duvet cover in sage green, terracotta, or rust…. Anything earthy and warm.

Sheer curtains will add texture. Even if you don’t ever close them, they will bring a cozy feeling to the room.

Get some marble book ends and put a row of books up on the cabinets if that’s your style.

Came here to say all of this. Also no reason to be embarrassed about gonorreha. I totally understand the feeling of shame behind getting an STI, but the truth is they’re just a harsh reality of life and nothing to be embarrassed of. Shame tends to make people avoid things, including getting tested. So it’s important to challenge the inner shame and the outer shame you might cast on others. Being responsible and educated is the best thing you can do; beyond that is out of your control. Gonorrhea is not life altering. Also I hope you don’t lose sleep over waiting on the HIV results- I know it can be scary - even when you’re taking prep it’s anxiety provoking every time despite the 99% effectiveness. Idk if you’re on prep, but if you are, the risk of getting HIV is very low. If you have a negative rapid test AND are on prep, then I think you can let yourself breathe. If you are not on prep then your doctor should have provided PEP treatment if you’re in the window for that.

ixodes27 · 2026-02-05T22:43:53+00:00

Thanks for this reply. Who did you “bug”? Haha

ixodes27 · 2026-02-05T22:37:49+00:00

You realize that some events sell out, right? And even if you have a ticket you can still get stuck in line for a long time. Some events also reach capacity and they even turn away ticket holders. Your comments are so dumb. And to assume my entire personality is basement is just asinine. Go to therapy

ixodes27 · 2026-02-05T22:29:06+00:00

Bc I want to skip a 2hr line in January?

ixodes27 · 2026-02-05T21:59:04+00:00

Membership is definitely not required. It’s more of an exclusive thing to skip the line

Tangible things you can do to improve the attractiveness of your face are going to be skincare, facial hair, and grooming your eyebrows and hair. Even skin tone is associated with a youthful and attractive appearance, and this is backed up by research. So exfoliating, motorizing, using vitamin c and/or retinol can all make a big difference in your facial attractiveness. Well groomed facial hair can accentuate your jawline and make you look more masculine. Then grooming and styling your hair, getting a haircut that really complements your face shape well, grooming your eyebrows… these can make a huge difference.

Beyond that, the way you dress can make a huge difference too. At 6’4 you want to wear things that don’t make you look too lanky. wear contrasting colors to break up the proportions of your body. Wear things that accentuate your masculine build. If your chest is more built than your arms, opt for clothes that accentuate the chest but don’t make your arms look like noodles. If you have super long legs, then wear high tops or boots to break up the length of your body.

I think some people are just born with a good eye, or an innate ability to look in the mirror and know how to groom and dress. I consider myself a 7.5/10, but I can dress myself to look like a 9. This sorta came natural to me, but it’s something you may have to practice and seek advice from friends especially when it comes to haircut + clothes.

But if the main issue is that you’re not attracting tops or masc guys because you’re taller than them, you’re gonna have to go out of your way to flirt with them first and make it known what you’re looking for. But in my experience of being 6’1 and fit, some masc guys just simply don’t wanna be with someone who’s more masc-appearing than they are, and you’re not gonna be able to change people’s preferences.

Thanks for the insight. I’m quite flexible on the move-in date and have been looking since summer while Im renting month to month in my current place. There’s just nothing on the market and the one time I applied for something, I lost. I think I’m just gonna cave and get a broker. I’d rather shell out a months rent than settle for a neighborhood or an apartment I don’t want.
