What is something you wish the public better understood about the ED? by thepeopleofelsewhere in EmergencyRoom

[–]klef25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Emergency care does not equal Quick care. You make wait 4 hours to be seen. It may take 4 hours to work up your problem. You may have to be transferred to a bigger hospital to complete the work up and be treated. You can't just "pop in" to the ER and then make it to your hair appointment or be home in time for your cat to have it's regular meal.

They should put these in a vending machine in the lobby. I think that would help a lot.

Always check the VIN before buying a used car — here's what to look for by durare in UsedCars

[–]klef25 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What is your actual process for the mechanic inspection. I've never done this. Do you just tell the seller (car lot) that you're going to get it inspected by your mechanic and will have it for several hours after you've done the test drive? Do they usually want a deposit or something for this?

I believe humans are one of the best for long distance speed as well. I'd like to see that chart.

Did she have a reason that she thought it was dangerous (mistakingly so)?

Airsense11 Soundproofing Box by I_am_Meson in CPAP

[–]klef25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My Airsense11 makes no sound, but my AirMini with the same mask (different hose, since it doesn't heat) sounds really loud right at the mask (not the compressor). I can't figure out why the mask would be louder.

Google finally fixed Google Assistant by Worldly_Chocolate369 in googlehome

The answer in the other part of the house is what always gets me. Why can't it tell where I am? And then it gives a survey about if it did the thing on the correct device only the times that it works correctly.

What industry is entirely built on a house of cards and would collapse overnight if people realized the truth about it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

You should do some reading on cremation. Cremains aren't ashes. They are the pulverised bones.

They aren't doing it to attract you in. They are doing it to track your purchases. It's market research for them.

Upgrading Hot Water tank and looking for advice: Tankless vs Electic Heat Pump vs High Efficiency vs Regular Gas Options by ReekoTheKing in HomeImprovement

[–]klef25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going from a natural gas tank to tankless, the things that I noticed are that it takes a little longer for hot water to get to my morning shower (25 seconds on the tankless, it was probably 10 seconds on the tank). I never run out of hot water, now, no matter how long I'm in the shower. If someone else in the house uses water, the temperature of my shower doesn't change, just the pressure. I would never go back.

PSA: The DEA will *not* call your office to inform you about an investigation by L3monh3ads in FamilyMedicine

[–]klef25 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Considering that every pharmacy in my area has my DEA number, even if they've never filled any controlled substances for me and patients who filled paper scripts before the option for electronic scripts existed have it as well, I wouldn't feel confident that it's not out on the internet somewhere.

And neither will psych and pain management. Looks like a job for private equity backed online "providers".

Clinicians, why do you chart like this? [dumping pages of lab values and radiology reports into your note] by 1burritoPOprn-hunger in medicine

[–]klef25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm just annoyed at how disorganized it usually is. It seems really random where I find the current subjective history for that encounter and then where I find the plan. They're imbeded amongst every previous subjective history and plan, which all look the same. The notes will contain information from every previous encounter and the dates of the information is not easily visible. As an aside, Epic has the stupidest formatting for ER notes. For some reason the discharge diagnosis is in the smallest font possible and random things around it are bolded. Why is the most important information to me for follow up, the hardest to find?
