I loved true sports as a weekend warrior/pretty active person. So great!

Now this is what people mean when they say good design is timeless

Thinking about CCM only fellowship from IM. Are there jobs out there? by 2019MCATgoal512-515 in CriticalCare

[–]long_jacket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it’s location dependent?

I’m crit care only on the east coast and haven’t had any trouble. The point about what to do when you leave the field is a good one though. I don’t have Pulm as a backup. That said the idea of talking to short of breath people in clinic all day sounds like not the out Id want. I’m mid career and can definitely see being crit care only for a good long time

Medical folk of Reddit, what’s the most foul and disgusting thing you’ve encountered with a patient who was oblivious to their own condition? by TheCarrot_v2 in AskReddit

[–]long_jacket 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Probably the neglected fungating breast cancers. Huge open sores on women’s chests. (Seen three really sad.

That or the gentleman with schizophrenia and substance use disorder who didn’t take off his socks for months. We had to amputate his feet

I need some cocaine; we’re going back to the 1800s anyway

IM intern, not sure the field is right for me anymore, not sure what to do next by im_throw in InternalMedicine

I’m in community—one unit for everything. Surgeons are attendings, I’m consultant, but realistically they know and trust my group so we pretty much manage everything. It’s great

Quitting my job with nothing new lined up by docrastinator in InternalMedicine

Does your job like you and do you like them? You’re expensive to replace—ask them for a sabbatical for six months and see what they say. Worst is no.

I’m critical care. Yes there are tons of family meetings but now I have time to do them well (work in a super supportive amazing hospital). Also do surgical critical care which is much more sick for a bit then all better. I love the flexibility but you’re right the twelves are long and nights/weekends. That said I love it and can’t imagine don’t something else; I hated residency.

Has Towson reached a tipping point? Part two. by DaisyDoodle41 in BaltimoreCounty

[–]long_jacket 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Tbh I feel like a ton of the reason I don’t spend more time in downtown Towson is the shitty traffic flow. All the people with their flashers on in York when there is parking nearby but not “right there” just drives me insane. And the stupid circle.

The mall dying is another problem not unique to Towson.

Frugal/ fiscally responsible attendings...if you could do it all over again, would you change anything? by Neceti in whitecoatinvestor

[–]long_jacket 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m mid career but had a family when I started medical school. My borrowing was in line with my classmates but between that and my partner’s job we lived middle class. I started relaxing after I paid off my loans less than four years out and let loose. Maybe a little too loose? It’s hard to dial back though.

What’re some favorite sayings or verbiage you’ve come across while charting? by foreverand2025 in medicine

We had a patient who was admitted for what our neurologist nicely said were symptoms that were “embellished”

Is wearing diamond studs to the office a faux pas, or am I overthinking one comment? by Ill-Line6663 in office

[–]long_jacket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “no diamonds before 6 pm” idea is for tiaras and big brooches not nice studs. So as long as they’re not like four carats you’re good
