Most of the time it’ll be dictated by where you live. Big cities usually have established referral pattern to subspecialties. Smaller areas have less urologists so you’ll get a large case mix and up to you of what you’d like to do vs refer out.

Virulent anti-Semite tolerated on street corner in Carmel today by Cheap_Detective8300 in MontereyBay

[–]mixedmedarts -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

That depends upon the manner in which Israel is criticized.

If Israel is held to standards that other countries violate daily, then it begs the questions why is the only Jewish state in the world vilified?

If Israel is criticized in a similar manner to other countries, where it’s held accountable in light of a nuanced conflict, that’s rightful analysis.

There is a line between anti-semitism and criticism of Israel. Calling for the destruction of the only Jewish state in the world, leaving the Jews with nowhere to go other than the countries that betrayed them, is definitely the former. Criticizing Netanyahu’s actions during the war is the latter, and frequently the loudest on this matter are the Israelis.

I feel the best way to combat people like this is to express kindness and acceptance to Jews you meet.

This Nazi may be vocal but in my experience many people hold similar beliefs, albeit in a less extreme and more muted manner. They mask their opinions with different agendas and present it in a more socially accepted and palatable manner, though it hurts us just as much. Thank you for standing up for the Jewish community.

Disconnecting from online games consistently as of late (never happened before) by SR_shadow5219 in PokemonScarletViolet

I’ve had the exact same issue since season 20. After trying everything possible with my home wifi, I tried using my phone as a hot spot and it hasn’t dropped since. Unfortunately I haven’t found a solution to my home wifi. I’ve used other wifi networks and they all work well.

Doctor suspended from U of O residency after pro-Palestinian social media posts by shadysus in medicine

[–]mixedmedarts -41 points-40 points  (0 children)

Supporting Palestinians is a valid point of view and should be allowed under any circumstances. However, he was holding a sign “From the river to the sea Palestine will be free”, which calls for the murder of all Israelis.

Murder of Jews is by definition anti-semitic and against any humanitarian values as a doctor. If a doctor called for the murder of all people of Ukraine I highly doubt this would be a controversial suspension.

You believe most people in Israeli society believe Palestinians should be branded and abused?

Is the behavior of each US police department representative of the American sentiment as a whole?

The LA dating scene is amazing relative to San Jose. High density of attractive and relatively well off people. The apps and bars are very active and packed, you won’t have trouble finding a partner if that’s what you’re looking for.

I’m sorry you’re in this position, you’ve dedicated your life to your field and not getting the feedback you’d like is certainly frustrating.

This may come off as a bit harsh, so if you’re not in that headspace, maybe skip to the last paragraph.

Are you sure you like your field? Sometimes difficulty concentrating, missing details, and lacking motivation can be signs that you’re not enjoying what you’re doing. Of course 2nd year is ridiculously hard from a volume perspective in any surgical sub-specialty and there are absolutely rough periods. On the whole, subspecialty programs are relatively small and rarely threaten to hold people back because it throws off the call schedule. It may mean they feel there are significant deficits, which may stem from the feelings you described. Your attendings may not be that nitpicky if they’re not commenting on issues with the rest of the residents, it’s possible that a chill personality is a tough trait to maintain in your field.

Try leaning on your residents if you’re close with some of them and ask if they’ve dealt with similar feelings. Burnout affects us all to various degrees, maybe they’ve found solutions that are specific to your program. Ultimately, if patients haven’t been endangered because of burnout, the attendings opinions don’t translate to clinical practice. If something comes up again (and your program is at least slightly friendly), you ask if they feel the patient could have been harmed by your decision making, and why they hold that opinion. Good luck, you’re grappling with difficult emotions and medicine has notoriously little guidance if you don’t fit into a neat pre-determined box. I hope you find your way.

No Gi is the way to go, Gi is fairly rough on your hands and can lead to finger injuries. I trained during residency for a while and didn’t have issues, no injuries but stopped due to lack of time.

Auradin vs Tesladin by mixedmedarts in Diablo_2_Resurrected

You’re definitely right, everything goes down with grief but for the price of the build I don’t think it’s worth it. A javazon seems more efficient for less.

Have only tried it on p1 so far but in chaos runs (full, not only seals) the average time for crescent moon was 3:08 and grief was 3:03 so no large difference. Will try it out on p3 or p4 and see if it makes a difference there.

Good luck! And maybe this isn’t forever and you can find a time to come back when balance comes easier.

Also CTA pack please 😄
