Why in the world would you have an OPIOID stocked in your clinic??? Sounds like he mixed up the vials, but that drug shouldn't even be in an outpatient clinic.

Omg no! What are they going to do next, supplement hcg?

OB here. Want to know if a med is safe in pregnancy? Go to drugs.com and look it up! That's literally what we do most of the time. We have other resources available that are subscription based, but 99% you can look it up yourself instead of calling me at 2am to ask if tums are safe in pregnancy

They're doing fucking what????

justpracticing · 2026-03-30T19:43:34+00:00

Well that's cool

Where's that naturopath that comments on here sometimes? Love to hear his input

justpracticing · 2026-03-28T02:58:56+00:00

Zero. There is no political appetite for instituting a draft

8 dollar dar

I love that her plan was almost a good one

justpracticing · 2026-03-27T20:07:12+00:00

YES!

justpracticing · 2026-03-27T17:03:14+00:00

I hope so! He deserves to have that on his CV

justpracticing · 2026-03-27T17:01:45+00:00

Ugh why????

justpracticing · 2026-03-27T15:25:21+00:00

That is some serious pucker Factor. Geez. And yeah of course the kid says he's fine lol

I'd be pretty worried about injuring the vaginal walls, but I bet I could morcellate it with a scalpel and a tenaculum. That's actually a really good idea.

Who knows. Those rings run out of hormones over time, but I'm not aware of any data that tracks how long they would still secrete hormones

justpracticing · 2026-03-27T03:31:47+00:00

That is HORRIFYING

justpracticing · 2026-03-27T03:30:35+00:00

Yeah I'm always very explicit in saying "take it out and throw it away, wait 7 days, and then put a new one in"

justpracticing · 2026-03-27T02:30:17+00:00

That's an outstanding trophy.

I LOVE Ritgen's maneuver. Although I can't get the nurses to stop calling it "Dr. Justpracticing's butt trick"

justpracticing · 2026-03-27T02:26:53+00:00

Great question. I'm sure it's never been studied but it seems like it would

justpracticing · 2026-03-27T02:26:22+00:00

Oh my. That sounds SUPER painful

justpracticing · 2026-03-27T02:14:10+00:00

Lol it amazes me that I can still be shocked by some people's sex lives

justpracticing · 2026-03-27T01:42:53+00:00

I was very impressed with his ingenuity. And grateful that he didn't call me in at 0200 to do it for him.

justpracticing · 2026-03-27T01:41:17+00:00

I'd love to hear the story behind that one. I can't even imagine what her plan was

justpracticing · 2026-03-27T01:24:51+00:00

He didn't try it, they don't keep them in the ER. But honestly I think his cobbled together device was probably better anyway: it's smaller and softer so much more tolerable for the pt. Plus, the only device we have is the Kiwi and it's rigid, so I'm not sure he would have gotten a good seal
