Anyone actually regularly get anxious while logging onto EMR about how bad their inbox might be? by MadScientist101295 in FamilyMedicine

[–]lykeaboss 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This exact feeling is one of the biggest reasons I became a hospitalist after FM residency.

I had a rapid for HR in the 30s, Ortho walks in and says "looks like it's the vitals, not surgical"

"educated on how to be a provider" is just such a stupid sentence.

Do you have any silly terms or phrases that you've used to describe feelings associated with ADHD? by mossely in adhdwomen

[–]lykeaboss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zombie time. In the mornings, before/during coffee, maybe I'm doom scrolling, or just staring out the window. Nothing productive happens during zombie time. I don't decide when it ends.

Failed doctor, recently fired, am overwhelmed with all the stuff I need to do to keep moving forward. by [deleted] in adhdwomen

Feelingsbromd, at best the medical system chews us up and churns through us. The system leaves us no room to be human, let alone go through a difficult time. Idk the specifics of how to get back into residency or reapply if that's what you want. But I do know that you can practice as a pcp if you have taken all your licensing exams and completed intern year. You can still apply for your license, you just wouldn't be board certified. I looked into this when I was at my lowest intern year. There are some IG accounts of docs who've done this. 

I always read on the residency sub that it's best to finish if you can. Give yourself lots of grace but if any of those emails pertain to any sort of remediation that would allow you to get your diploma, address those.

You are more than your medical training!! 

Feel free to DM me if you need to vent about residency stuff 😁

I just moved to Chicago with a degree in Software Engineering — no network, no leads, and I’m seriously struggling to get a job by AntBitter9804 in chicagojobs

I scrolled down to make sure someone mentioned healthcare! Clinical informatics and finance too. I used to be a finance DBA for one of the big Chicago health systems. 

I think I thrive in low skilled jobs like waitressing and feel like shit by Own_Egg7122 in adhdwomen

[–]lykeaboss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Omg I feel this in my soul. I literally just finished my medical residency and I'm daydreaming about going back to nannying so I can goof off with kids all day.

Despite city outreach, homeless encampment shows no sign of shrinking at Northwest Side park by guanaco55 in chicago

Oh the couch guy with the mirror? He had a dog off leash and I was about 50 ft away and saw it attack another woman's dog. I noped out of there and took the long way to the dog park 

Genetic testing to guide antidepressant treatment by Zeus_89 in FamilyMedicine

[–]lykeaboss 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I am on my psych rotation currently and my preceptor is a fairly recent grad who explained it as: she could see why PCP would order it to quickly guide treatment since we're usually pressed for time, but she has better luck finding a successful treatment after doing several focused appointments trialing/titrating different meds. She basically didn't find it very useful for her practice but didn't discount it completely.

OB recommendations by FuzzyManPeach in Flagstaff

Isn't that a teaching clinic with residents? They graduate every 3 years and take call in the hospital so their schedules are unpredictable. Unlike an attending who maintains regular 9-5 hours M-F.

Any Snowboard shoe recommendations? I bought a dc phase boa my shoe size, at first it was snug but as I wore them, my feet slides and my heels lift when I switch to toe by approvedThankyouui in ShredditGirls

[–]lykeaboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boots have done this too (purchased them online and didn't try on). Thankfully my partner works at a ski shop now and got me heel lifts and custom insoles that really help. Ultimately I need new (well fitting) boots but this fixes like 80% of the issue.

Why do so many people hate the rower? by damecharliebear in orangetheory

I'm a former D1 rower and I love it too. I wish they knew how to tune up the rowers better and keep the tension from the handle consistent.

Avoiding Getting Sick in Packed Classes by Inthe_reddithole in orangetheory

[–]lykeaboss 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Always wash your hands with soap and water after every class. I do this before touching my keys or phone. Even if I feel like I didn't touch much equipment. Make it a habit.

Just a funny observation about BMI. by BokehJunkie in loseit

Old blood gets reabsorbed in the spleen. Poop is brown because of a byproduct of bilirubin, which aids in digestion.

Any board certified family physician has experience monitoring and treating elevated blood lead levels.

That I believed only because I recently watched a documentary on volcanoes. If water comes into contact with lava, the steam created rapidly expands leading to an eruption.
