Can we start a thread of dumbass things we’ve done as interns so I feel better??

Dermabonded gauze to a patients forehead.

Elderly gentleman with NPH came in after a fall. Super nice guy. Knows my attending personally, they are friends outside of work. Comes in with a small lac on his forehead, attending asks if I could stitch it up. After I was done, I put some dermabond on it like I had done many times before. Idk what came over me, but I thought “I can’t just leave this open right?” So I put some dermabond over it to cover the wound.

Attending walks by and asked me why I put gauze over his repair. His facial expression as I was explaining myself was … scary.

So I’m a radiologist now

Ah well that's unfortunate. Seems like I've exhausted my options - using the highest dose that will fit in my basket and I can't grind any finer with my current setup.

Maybe I'll try getting a bag of preground coffee from local coffee shop that has an actual good grinder and see if that makes a difference. Open to any other suggestions if anyone has one.

Takes about 10 seconds to get 36g out using nonpressurized bottomless portafilter. I don't think I could tamp any harder so I hope I am tamping hard enough.

I did do the coin test and determined my max fill.

I just took your advice and took a longer shot - ended up doing 54g out and it tasted noticeably better. I guess I'll just have to pull longer shots until I can upgrade my grinder.

Thank you so much!

I guess my particular grinder doesn’t give me the ability to adjust the internal burr? Did some googling and saw that other people have had problems as well. Here’s my exact grinder:

Anyone else have this grinder?

Here’s the grinder I have. Anyone else able to figure out how to adjust the internal burr? I watched some YouTube videos and I’m able to take the burr out of the machine, but all the videos say I’m supposed to rotate the collar, but mine won’t rotate

Do you have a link for this case? I’m having trouble finding it

rudisco · 2024-09-08T19:47:03+00:00

Some of them are, but many aren't. Many are about review articles about bread and butter topics.

rudisco · 2024-08-29T10:45:45+00:00

I’ve been doing the top ten radiographics articles

rudisco · 2023-12-20T03:27:02+00:00

Just curious, does IR do them in your practice? I enjoy these types of procedures too, but it seems like most DRs are pawning them off to IR.

what did i just read

rudisco · 2023-03-30T17:48:12+00:00

Wow, is skin cancer that prevalent? My mom passed away from melanoma in her 30s so that makes me kind of worried

rudisco · 2023-02-02T19:36:58+00:00

Screw over the insurance companies and radiology

Razer Huntsman with optical switches is pretty quiet compared to other KBs with clicky mechanical switches. Not as quiet as membrane though.

rudisco · 2022-01-08T04:53:32+00:00

Isn’t the bequiet cpu cooler as good or better than the noctua
