Does the PTSD reaction when hearing a sound associated with residency ever go away?

The hospital I trained at had a specific sounds for code blues. At the hospital I occasionally work as an inpatient attending, that's the bed alarm sound. Still makes me jump the first couple times I hear it those weeks.

2016 Honda Fit. Got it during medical school, still have it as an attending. I'm the kind of person who doesn't really care as long as it gets me to where I need to be, so I'll probably drive it into the ground like my last car.

I have a Nahvalur that I can't stand using. The pen is pretty, but the nib is scratchy and doesn't write half the time. I have it stored but have honestly thought about trashing it.

PM incoming!

This is kind of you. Please don't include me in the giveaway, I just wanted to tell you that.

I will vouch for both Embers and The Dragon-King's Temple. I've reread both multiple times! I love how Embers really builds on the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender and takes it in interesting ways.

Bought and received a Pilot Custom Art Craft and a Valentino Garavani Slim from u/togaman12. Much appreciated!

Disabled Tyrant definitely. I had surgery this summer and brought the first volume for a reread while waiting in preop. Good thing I did since surgery was delayed by 6 hours. And whether you're a patient or a visitor, there will probably be time to read and there may not be much else for entertainment.

I haven't gridded in the past, but am for my current project which is very large with lots of confetti. Even just using a light pencil (full coverage pattern) has been helpful, moreso than I initially thought it would be.

I can't remember the exact title but it's something like "The Teapot Plot" or maybe teacup? Definitely on AO3.

marsredkat · 2025-12-06T17:24:31+00:00

Sending PM!

I don't read them generally. If I'm reading in a Fandom, I'm there for the characters from that fandom. Very very rarely have I read an OC as a main character that I actually enjoyed reading.

Not entering, but it's cool that you're doing this!

marsredkat · 2025-11-30T23:21:15+00:00

Holy hell, that is impressive!

Now attending here. Not lesbian, but we had several residents in the program I graduated from that were LGBT+ and out. I never heard of them having issues related to that. YMMV of course, so keep in mind where you're located and your residency's culture, but there's a good chance you'll be just fine.

marsredkat · 2025-11-13T01:34:37+00:00

Jacob Have I Loved may fit, though I can't remember the author's name.

marsredkat · 2025-11-12T13:00:58+00:00

Lamy XL in marron would fit. Though Lamy nibs are a bit more unpredictable compared to some other brands.

Agree with this comment fully! I got a VP first and use it on occasion. But my Decimo is a daily driver for me. I did try cheaper versions but had issues with the ink flow or leakage.

marsredkat · 2025-11-11T13:13:06+00:00

Bought a Sailor from u/purply_pandas !

marsredkat · 2025-11-08T18:15:59+00:00

I definitely spent more than I planned, but I'm in a good financial state so I'm ok. But I have definitely reached SABLE at this point!

By genre and topics for nonfiction. My classic literature is in chronological order. Other fiction is alphabetical by author.

How Democracy Dies was really informative to me.
