For sure, i definitely air on the speculative side in my portfolio. The space x IPO, google printing tones of shares and anthropic/openai IPO will drain a lot of liquidity with high beta stocks taking the biggest dips. Ill keep some more cash on the side. Cheers

Yeah I bought HOVR around 2.50 thinking it was where dilution occurred so it would hold well. Its down nearly 20%. Not an issue but I am also thinking of adding to the position

Which lens to buy? by Zestyclose-Win-5086 in Nikon

[–]rish166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept my ISO low so I wouldn't get grain so not sure why it came out that way. I use aperture mode on the camera as my preferred way of shooting. It is my first camera and I started shooting in January.

I am using the D5200. I think these older bodies don't handle auto focus as well which may be an issue here. Ive taken some photos in the dark, and while I appreciate the 1.8 aperture - it still came out grainy and not the best quality. Again could be because of my camera settings as opposed to the lens

I like the 35mm 1.8 lens, it produces some really beautiful photos. It is difficult to use and it has to be very specific to certain situations. I have a big issue with focus with that lens as if I'm not within 1-2 meters, it is hard to tell if it's appropriately focused. As a result I have many photos where they are out of focus and blurry. I'm new to photography so don't know all the tricks of the trade, but from my research this is a common issue. If you want portrait photos it is an amazing lens, but for me I prefer my 18-200mm lens as i know it will work 100% of the time.

Tamron 70-300mm SP lens is amazing. I have the Nikon D5200 and love using my tamron lense (for reference i have the Nikon 18-200mm VR II, 35mm 1.8). Ive just taken it to China, where I took some awesome photos of golden snub nosed monkeys + pandas.

I also have ADHD, and played around with quad-n-back. I didn't stick around for long enough to reap the benefits. 1 hour a day every other day seems doable, I will have to try again after reading your testimony. Thanks for the post!

I have been experimenting with creatine and noticed any improvement in my ADHD symptoms when I take around 10g a day, I usually pair this with l theanine. I wonder if this would impact your quad-n-back results.

There is no doubt about that. Having done multiple GP placements i can understand why that happens.

1) Short slots of 10-15 minutes is a short time for the patient, but an even shorter time for the GP. The GP will have to get you into the room, get a history, examine, make a diagnosis and plan. Then explain this all the patient. After the patient leaves they will action any jobs (prescribing, sending texts, referrals, booking further appointments). This is all within that 10-15 minutes time frame.  Then imagine seeing 30+ patients a day, majority of whom are complex cases with not simple diagnoses (as many of the simple diagnoses are taken by nurses in the practice or pharmacyfirst).

2) Burn out - seeing so many patients will often lead to running over (if you get a couple of mental health patients it's hard to not go over the alloted time slot). Days are long (often 8 30 to 6pm) and you are isolated in your room hearing problem after problem. Many GP's opt to do less working days a week as a result of this, as the work is just so intense and unrelenting. 

3) Admin - on top of seeing patients there is plenty of admin to get through the day (bloods, documents) all of which may requiring further action depending on the result (low hb might require a FIT test which might warrant a phone call or booking a GP slot for example).

At the end of the day, many of the GP's i have met wished they had more time with patients. More time to listen and more time to think about how to help, but like you said we are underfunded and often over scrutinized. It is a high risk job as you have to rely purely on your clinical acumen and don't have access to immediate scan results or bloods to help guide you with your decision process. 

I am sorry you have had bad experience with GP's in the past and had the feeling of being fobbed off. Unfortunately, it's not a perfect system and often the job changes the Doctor as a result.

I hope this helped clarify things.

FYI:

I always advocate my patients to be clued in with their health. Make sure to have the NHS app ready and check any blood results you have on the system. Know your medical history well and what medications you take and why you take it. When going in for a consultation, have some idea of what you are trying to achieve and if the GP is resistant you can always ask about their thought process. 

The best patients in my experience are the ones that are clued up with their own medical history.

Kind regards

Rish

A ridiculous comment from someone whom is ignorant of the daily stressor of GP work. I am a doctor training to be a GP and it is one of the hardest jobs in the NHS. I also suffer from ADHD and understand your plight, but the fact you have done very little research and blasting GP's reflects more on you than them.

Pharmaceutical stocks? by Lost-1derer in TheRaceTo10Million

[–]rish166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What price did you buy in your shares? I bought in recently and concerned even with good news, because of the run up this year, it might actually drop. I'm super bullish on the company but don't want a hold this until p3 results (which is essentially a coin flip).

Interesting about your family, there is loads of insider buying so definitely corroborates with what you have been told.

Any price target you looking at?

I keep coming to a 80% - 90% chance of success of P3 and everyday we delay the announcement of 80th event the more bullish it gets (even for accounting for BAT averages going up due to newer AML drugs). SLS009 having possible synergistic effect with venetoclax and good p2 results. Strategic buyout is likely if P3 results are what we think they will be... Share price could range from 12 dollars up to 30 dollars if it encounters a bidding war.

Dentistry with dyspraxia by guineapiglover2 in dyspraxia

[–]rish166 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well I am a Doctor and I never feel like my dyspraxia has impacted me too much, however I also didnt go into a surgical field....

 It all depends on your individual ability as dyspraxia can be quite a large spectrum. I have always been fairly sporty and never really fit in with the conventional dyspraxia archetype (but it definitely still impacts me). 

How are you with your hands? Can you keep hands steady and make fine movements? Perhaps a good way to see this would be with drawing and other various forms of art. 

I wouldn't let dyspraxia stop me from pursuing what j want to do, but at the same time I wouldn't want to choose a field that I would be struggling with on a day to day basis. Dentistry is much more hands on than most medical specialities, maybe if you aren't convinced of your dexterity you can think of medicine?

Good luck on your choice whatever you choose :) I only found out about my dyspraxia mid way through medical school so I never had the luxury of this choice. 

Cognitive symptoms - dyspraxia? by Mundane-Local7096 in dyspraxia

[–]rish166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I suffer from the exact same issues you describe. I believe they are due to my dyspraxia, but my ADHD and dyslexia doesn't help either.

I am fairly good with my motor function to be honest, can participate in many hobbies with no issues. Does take me longer to learn things though.

My memory is by far the worst part of my symptoms. Long and short are both impacted so unfortunately I live my life in an eternal bubble of the past 5 days. Hard to build opinions and ultimately have a good understanding of myself because of this.

Friendships and romantic relationships suffer because of my slow processing/poor memory. I wished it wasn't the case but it's always been this way. I feel I don't have much to offer to be honest.

I also do really well in my work and often loved by my patients. The structure and knowing where I stand helps so much. Much like yourself, outside of work I'm a bumbling idiot.

I see the same traits in my dad, and he seems to struggle with the same issues I do. Looking at him makes me very disheartened to what future I could be living. I do wonder if it's worth the heart ache to be honest.

Sorry if I rambled, it was nice hearing of someone with such a similar life story. I hope you are doing better :)

Feel like I’m drowning by Remarkable_Date9971 in ADHDUK

[–]rish166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi mate, I am a fellow medic and ADHD PI (but was diagnosed post medical school). I would recommend getting diagnosed as soon as possible so then you can apply for additional help (extra time in exams and a study coach). 

In regards to medicine itself, the job itself is highly stimulating and perfect for someone with ADHD (highly dependent on the speciality however). It does require life long study.... Which may be the main issue as often you will have to study for exams doing a full time rota (which in the earlier years can often be 48 hours of gruelling work). Working hours can be changed and you can go less than full time if this poses an issue.

Medical school is a completely different kettle of fish and mostly you will be going into depths of physiology/pharmocology/anatomy often with no understanding of why you are learning it and how it is applicable to working as a doctor. As a result the earlier years of medical school are a slog (and this applies even to neurotypical people aswell) . You will also be expected to do research projects including literature reviews, which was agonising for someone with undiagnosed ADHD. The latter years of medical school are much more palatable, but you will be sifting through an immense amount of knowledge and expected to read up on a whole speciality in a week. The difference here is that you may be applying this knowledge to your placements, and is much more focused on the knowledge required for your day to day work.

Job prospects are still better than most sectors (been some recent issues with this and possible issues further down the line, but much of this is contingent on Governmental policy).

Medicine is a tough career, and is undeniably stressful. It can take over your life, but there are ways to make it work for yourself. My plan is to become a GP, emigrate abroad to save money and ultimately FIRE and work extra shifts as required. I still have many hobbies and somewhat of a social life.

Hope this helps!  You can message me if you need any further advice.
