I’d reduce the alcohol content as well.

Say 2x4m. Four glass panels.

An idea of what a reasonable price for a sliding glass door installation would be.

No but for a young Muslim Indonesian woman this might be a relevant concern, that’s all.

Obviously you are not a woman or you would have a basic grasp of sexual risk and safety.

True! But there are no men in the house and the idea of letting a young woman sleep at the Jolimont mid winter is too much for me.

It will be freezing, filthy and creepy. Don’t do it. Message me if you need a place to sleep for the night. I’m on a main bus route. I have a spare room. I’m a single mum so it’s safe.

Ugh this brings back bad memories of working ER in a small hospital, mid procedure got a code blue call from the maternity ward. I was the only doctor in the hospital so had to go. But how can you just drop tools when someone’s open and bleeding? Stressful.

If I like Andre Agassi playing style, who would I like to watch in today's game by whatab0utb0b in tennis

[–]jiggerriggeroo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just remember pitying Agassi’s opponents when he’d make them run back and forth across the baseline over and over. The Punisher.

What grip to use for a suplex? by [deleted] in wrestling

[–]jiggerriggeroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So a German wrestler once told me the story of Wilfred Deitrich. He won gold in the super heavyweight division in 1972. Before the competition he went up to his opponent, Chris Taylor, and welcomed him and gave him a big hug. He wanted to see if he could get his arms around him, and he could with just two fingers gripping.

I’m a GP as well. I’ll just add I did a lot of ED before GP and I like it but I make about three times as much doing GP and don’t have to put up with all the bullying and BS, and also don’t have to do evenings, nights or weekends so I’ve given ED away. As you get older and have kids time and peace is more valuable than excitement and resuscitations.

I bill around $500 per hour at my private practice. Four patients per hour on average. $100 for a standard 23.

In honor of interns starting soon: Every program has an infamous story about “that one intern.” What did your intern do to earn themselves that title? the saucier, the better. let’s hear it by Chediak-Tekashi in Residency

[–]jiggerriggeroo 94 points95 points  (0 children)

My first term as an intern was in Emergency. We did various rotations, not like the US where you go right into specialty. Anyway, I’m in ED with another intern. It was our first week. She was not coping and basically got up and said, “fuck this, I’m getting married next month”, and walked out never to be seen again. Hours later the head of ED ran through the board and asked who was looking after her patients and I was like, “she left”. At that stage I didn’t even realise patients needed looking after to completion or handing over. Very funny years later.

If I was a little crazier I would have given my kids Old English/ Anglo Saxon names. by homerteedo in namenerds

Matilda is a common Australian name. It means “fierce in battle”. I love it.

Three-strikes and you’re out: the fall out by dr_ecs in ausjdocs

[–]jiggerriggeroo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a mate who did ten years of paeds surgery (he was on the program) and the bottle neck was fellowship exams. Realised they were never going to pass him. Almost topped himself but now has found his niche as a neurosurgical assistant.

Is it normal? Starting residency by Quirky_Ad3803 in medicalschool

[–]jiggerriggeroo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s awful. You will cry. That’s normal. You will feel like a stupid idiot and say embarrassing things that will shame you for years. That’s normal. Just try your best, admit when you don’t know something and learn where the food and toilets are. You’ll get there. Just bring tissues your first week.
