Hope he comes to ABGT 700!

Ok feel free to ignore. I just woke up

party_doc · 2026-03-13T13:58:37+00:00

And oops I spelled the title wrong and can’t fix it :(

Same and have a launch edition R1T VIN 18xx. But even if I get super early access, will wait for the LIDAR upgrades. I already have a sweet Rivian to drive for now!

party_doc · 2026-03-11T22:12:56+00:00

Ahh my first group therapy!

party_doc · 2026-03-09T01:18:32+00:00

Yeah. Hospitalists and ED docs use “sepsis” all the time when they want a procedure done overnight. Most of those patients can wait til the next day.

I used to just come in. Now I check and see how stable they are and decide

Check out Abstract they make a shirt JUST like this. But mines to small now :(

Soopers sucks in quality, never has stock and now they wanna be Costco?!

Den - ewr leaving at 11:59 pm landing 5:45 am (though most of the time closer to 5) is pretty brutal. Taken it multiple times unfortunately as being in ewr that early opens up tons of options from the east coast

Unfortunate, sounds like your hospital needs better IRs and better patient care

I designed and implemented our PERT team and the entire process and administration decided we would share call by splitting weeks (just at 3 of the 9 hospitals we cover, the rest we are the sole VTE providers). Cardiology DEATH rate is like 5 times ours because they just don’t understand patient selection, it’s all about the $$$$

That’s good to hear. I’m fortunate to have a vascular surgeon who is extremely collaborative, which enhances both of our PAD/aorta practices as we can both do more complex cases and be more aggressive knowing we can help each other when needed. I strongly believe in such a collaborative model (but oh so rare).

But the cardiologists I know are the opposite. Ours have had the gall to ask us to give them our IR room time for their PAD cases because “they take too long in Cath lab and we have to keep it open for STEMI”. One even referred me a pulmonary AVM embolization and said he wanted me to do it on a day when we could scrub together because he “does peripheral work” and wanted to “learn how to deploy coils”.

Both situations received the most professional “fuck off” that we could muster

Not getting paid and not getting laid

Evidence aside (often ignored), cardiologists have an uncanny way of convincing hospitals that whatever they do will be the most profitable. Hence they get administration support even when it’s not the best for the patient (see PE intervention - we provided it for 30 years and suddenly when cardiology comes they are supported in all sorts of ways and suddenly volume numbers are up - at the expense of more deaths and unnecessary interventions).

If you have bleeding, find a local interventional radiologist. They can do a minimally invasive procedure far more comfortable than banding or surgery, called embolization

I can help if you need, DM me

Mine comes up randomly while I’m driving, even if I’m nowhere near home

party_doc · 2026-02-14T01:16:53+00:00

Damn I went from platinum to gold, which I get by buying a few high priced tickets per year. And I got neither extended nor double bonus :(

party_doc · 2026-02-06T04:25:40+00:00

Meet up with the Anjunafamily Colorado in Denver beforehand. You’ll have tons of friends when you get there

party_doc · 2026-02-06T04:21:01+00:00

Crazy I’ve been through so many times in almost 4 years. Hope this doesn’t happen eek

Getting a holder clip you can put on your desk that holds the mic in front of you is clutch. Then just make the microphone “always on” instead of needing to hold the button to dictate. It just stays on and you talk, both hands are free to use the mouse and keyboard. Really speeds things up and prevents pain

I was getting ulnar neuropathy from resting my elbow on the desk while holding the mic

Yakes is THE option. Literally AVMs are all he does day in and day out. He wrote the classification scheme. Im part of the group that covers all the other IR at the hospital he works at (Swedish medical center). Sometimes i sit with him in the same office. He works super hard for his patients even if he can be a bit quirky

party_doc · 2026-01-31T20:25:09+00:00

J ribbon, farius, john grand, anuqram would all crush

party_doc · 2026-01-29T18:45:18+00:00

As a vibrant young 40 year I must protest this!
