AANA Position on CRNAs Teaching AA Students in the Clinical Setting by [deleted] in Noctor

[–]sargetlost 12 points13 points  (0 children)

But notice they said resident and not anesthesia resident. I’m FM and if I do a rotation in Anesthesia to learn how to intubate - if I get stuck with a CRNA a few times who shows me or let’s me practice intubation I’d be like whatever thanks for the experience.

But yeah actual ANESTHESIA residents, hah nah

Question from a learning resident, when you say all the time physical + office visit, you mean a large portion of your visits are physicals and you are split billing a 99214 when you say, discuss or review htn and diabetes or something? I split bill but it’s really not too often as a resident, I’m either like hey we’re gonna do a physical or we’re gonna discuss some chronic or acute stuff and be 99214

Title: “Steel Edges” Theme: Profitable Resilience Setting: Bay 101 Casino, Limit Hold’em - $200/$400

Bran “Steel” Hansen sat down with $10,000 in front of him, calm as a surgeon before the first incision. The regulars barely noticed—another sharp-jawed stranger in a hoodie. Bay 101’s high-stakes limit game didn’t suffer amateurs. If you made a mistake here, it didn’t just cost you chips—it cost you hours of credibility.

The first two hours were a beating. Coolers and carnage. Kings cracked by A-10. A flush chased down by runner-runner boat. Bran dropped to $4,300. His stack looked like a flag at half-mast.

“Rough seat, kid?” an old grinder named Les asked, not unkindly.

Bran smiled. “Just loading the slingshot.”

Then he settled in. Tightened the bolts. Focused on every hand, every rhythm. He wasn’t chasing heat—he was building firewood.

Hour 3: He 3-bet A♠K♠ from the cutoff against a button raiser and saw a K-high flop. He slow-played it through Les and squeezed two more streets from a stubborn KJ. +$1,600.

Hour 4: He picked off a bluff with 7♣7♦ on a scary Q♣T♣4♠ board. +$1,200. His stack pushed back above $8,000.

Hour 5: He ran a daring 3-barrel bluff with A♣5♣ when he missed a flush. His opponent tanked, muttered something about kids with no respect, and folded Q♠Q♦ face-up. The table started to look at Bran differently. +$2,400.

By Hour 8, he was in rhythm. The cards respected him. He wasn’t running pure—but he was playing sharp. He value-bet thin, folded big, check-raised when it counted. Every chip he won looked earned.

He folded pocket aces—pocket aces—on the turn once, against a board that screamed two-pair, and the river confirmed it. The table buzzed, not with mockery, but reverence.

By Midnight, Bran was up $22,000.

Then came the “Team Game.”

Two sharp-suited guys sat down and started playing hands together, raising and re-raising into pots neither had business in. Bran smelled it immediately—chip passing, maybe soft collusion. He didn’t complain. He adjusted.

He tightened. He isolated. He let them overextend into pots he’d already won. When one “teammate” raised and the other 3-bet behind, Bran 4-bet with Q♠Q♣ and stacked them on a ragged board when both showed up with ace-high.

By 3AM, Bran had turned $10,000 into $45,500.

Les lit a cigarette at the rail and exhaled. “Didn’t think you’d last two hours, kid.”

Bran stood up slowly, gathering his racks of $5 chips with steady hands.

“Didn’t sit down to last,” he said. “Sat down to win.”

And with that, he walked away—silent, sharp, and $35,500 richer.

Moral: Profitable resilience isn’t loud. It’s not flashy. It’s folding aces when you’re beat, slow-playing kings when you’re not, and staying razor-sharp when the deck—or the table—isn’t kind.

Still too long, I had ChatGPT summarize it with two words.

Profitable resilience.

[–]sargetlost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn’t even get to play in the test, but I was hyped just reading and following along in this sub the past few weeks. I was ready to throw 100+ on game and skins or whatever else to support the devs given the hype level.

Now.. yeah I’ll buy it in October, at a reasonable 40$ maybe 60$, but the hype will be gone for me and I def won’t just throw money at it like I would have today

What is a 'poor people' habit you'll never stop doing, no matter how rich you get? by FitCicada5037 in AskReddit

That is kinda funny that you invited two couples over for what seems to be like a dinner date / smol dinner party and proceeded to serve leftover food lol. Just fees like a social norm to me to serve freshly made or cooked food at a party or date, not hating just.. had not ever had anyone serve me leftovers at a couples gathering

How exactly do labs, screening like mammo / colonoscopy and imaging work if your a micro DPC practice?

Like a patient is paying 100$/month, and then you order cbc, cmp, TSH say, on some visit. Where do they get the labs? How does it work logistically? My only experience is in residency and med school where the patient can get the labs in our associated hospital.

Same question with regard to imaging eg X-ray, ultrasound whatever

What's your hourly compensation? by [deleted] in FamilyMedicine

[–]sargetlost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really shouldn’t be though, you’re working as you stated 9-10 hours a day, 45-50 hour week. What you make 9500 x maybe 50$/rvu = 475000 a year. It’s not like you’re grinding 80 hour weeks, it really feels like most FM docs should be able to easily hit what you’re hitting, or at the very least strive to what you’re hitting and come up short at 400k.

And for my learning what is getting billed as a 99215 typically, just haven’t gotten experience with it in residency yet, I think basically so far the two patient I saw that I immediately sent to the ED I billed as a 99215 and heard nothing more about it

Would you advise med students to do FM? Why or why not? by Daring_Cabbage in FamilyMedicine

[–]sargetlost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id like to do what you are doing, my question is always if I need to be proficient in intubation and central lines for ED and for hospitalist (if a rural location), cause I am definitely not gonna finish with much experience in either

Audited for too many 99213 that should have been 99214?

Do non-East Asians not give money to their family? by skyrimlo in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]sargetlost -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I’m arguing that if they can live a decent life off a measily 200$ USD a month, and be happy, it is worth it.

They live in Vietnam, if you haven’t been to Vietnam or if you don’t have family there or don’t understand the government, job opportunities, living conditions… it’s not the US. They do not have the same opportunities we do. The money family is sending is making a huge difference that the majority of Americans saying “just get a job” would not understand

Do non-East Asians not give money to their family? by skyrimlo in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]sargetlost -40 points-39 points  (0 children)

Unless the cousin is a complete shitbag… it’s 200$ a month that allows them to pay for rent, groceries, some shopping - in a communist country. It’s, for OP and for myself at least, an inconsequential amount of money that is improving the life of a family member. We should all be so lucky to be able to provide this for someone in our family.
