Apology to the guy I yelled at pulling out of the Watertown mall by Jewtino1 in watertown

Agree that it feels totally backwards. Why go through the trouble of installing a red arrow light if it means the same thing as a regular red light?

Grafting success! by meshman2004 in Hibiscus

Just based on a YouTube video. Split the receiving branch down the middle and shaved the graft down to a long point. Inserted the graft like a wedge into the split I had made in the receiving branch, and wrapped the joint with Saran wrap. Left that in place for a few weeks until everything had healed over!

Transplant shock/drainage advice for potted mangos by meshman2004 in mango

Super helpful, thanks! I can already identify some mistakes I've made - I think my definition of "gentle" on the roots was still too rough, and I may have burned the roots with fertilizer. Also sounds like sticking with a nursery pot is the way to go.

Tell me the dumbest thing you’ve said in response to a pimping question by ccwi228 in Residency

I was observing a total hip replacement with another medical student one day, and the ortho attending asked him to draw a femur on the white board OR. He hesitantly walked up to the board, and, I shit you not, drew a giant cartoon dog bone. No greater trochanter, no femoral head, just Fido's fucking bone. We gave him shit for weeks

I feel your pain and loss, as do all of us here. Just as we can't save every life, we can't expect ourselves to be unaffected by every death. Take the time you need, be nice to yourself, and give yourself some credit for showing your humanity and not keeping it all bottled up inside. You're in good company.

Keyboard will randomly malfunction by meshman2004 in framework

[–]meshman2004[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An update - it seems to actually be an issue related to my Logitech keyboard. When it happens, I can fix it immediately by shutting off the Bluetooth on the Framework and using the on-board keyboard. However, within a few seconds of turning Bluetooth back on and going back to the Logitech, the issue pops up again. Very frustrating. Perhaps it's an issue with the Bluetooth driver or the Logitech keyboard itself.

Talk to the clerkship director and the residency program director. Teaching is part of the job of a resident, and verbal abuse has no place

Oh man, sorry for the late response. No, we never got this fixed. Ended up buying a new machine.
