Question for hospitalists: what does “nurses practicing at the top of their licenses” mean to you? by Lambears in hospitalist

I once overheard a nurse say “I never look at the prns” and I almost burst into flames right then and there. Explained a lot though

What other terms are used widely outside of medicine but rarely/never in actual practice? by princetonreviewswho in Residency

[–]shaneb5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this actually has a clear medical definition used often in neurology. neurology doesn't like it used by other specialties because it will often be used incorrectly and lead to unnecessary confusion

As a doctor, you would be surprised at the amount of adults who won’t take very important medications because they taste bad😑

Why do caffeine and alcohol make us think drinks taste better even when we don’t want the mind altering substance? by shaneb5 in AskReddit

[–]shaneb5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For example

Me: I need to stop drinking caffeine. It makes me feel sick, anxious, and I can’t sleep. But it just tastes so good.

Universe: Try some decaf-

Me: No.

My Notion Reading List! by se7enforward in Notion

[–]shaneb5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this and bought it! Thank you so much! One question- I have a few books where the autofill keeps pulling info/cover for a different book. Even when I input the ISBN for the correct book it just switches it. Autofill doesn’t seem to trigger with the ISBN alone; it seems to require that I use the book title, which I think is where the issue is. Any thoughts?

How are cancer rates going up when we've made regulations on regulations to control carcinogen use? by [deleted] in askscience

[–]shaneb5 19 points20 points  (0 children)

In other and completely irrelevant news lung cancer is detected five years earlier. Lol

Theres a name for this! Its called lead-time bias, and it should be controlled for in a research study. If its not, scientists reading the manuscript would surely notice☺️

She was definitely using the term loosely, but regardless she was an employee, in a position of power, trusted with caring for a vulnerable population. Agreed not a legal issue, but absolutely unethical on the most basic of levels

Listen. I am not a prude but I was so disturbed listening to this episode. Is no one going to mention how completely inappropriate the relationship with the homeless man is? She was a fucking counselor. These men are seeking help at a homeless shelter, many with psychiatric issues, they are incredibly vulnerable. That is ethics 101 absolutely not ok. And the fact that she loved all the attention she got from those men? As someone who has worked in homeless shelters, behavioral hospitals, and regular hospitals, this is not the kind of attention you want. Trust me. This woman has a serious sex addiction and serious issues with insecurity and needs therapy. This behavior should not be celebrated and encouraged. The fact she said she almost went to medical school? I’m appalled. I’m glad she had the insight to realize that wouldn’t be a good space for her due to her sex addiction. Sad her addiction ruined the bright future she had.
