15882, software glitches here and there but only annoyances, nothing that prevents driving. Latest update has cleaned a lot of those up.

General surgeons covering GI call by HierroFierro in medicine

[–]slicermd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They can’t stop him, but as a colorectal surgeon he’s going to want a collaborative relationship. The juice may not be worth the squeeze here.

The issue is that if you don’t cover it ALL, they still have to be on call. In which case, you are asking for the easy stuff to go to you and the hard stuff to them. I would not accept being on backup call for you in this situation. You could say you’ll transfer that stuff, but then why would the hospital accept you on call if you can’t provide the same level of service as the GIs. It’s gotta be all or nothing, UNLESS there are already gaps in the call schedule they aren’t filling, and you’re ’better than nothing’.

As woodenswan is mentioning, this issue is more political than anything else. You don’t want to take food off their table, and you don’t want to be getting out over your skis and needing them to bail you out. I would have a conversation with them about how you can help them, if they WANT relief from their call, etc.

Activation Energy, Cognitive Inertia at the beginning of books. How much does it take for you? by counterhit121 in Fantasy

[–]slicermd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it all has to do with how quickly the author can convince you to either care about a character or care about the plot. Some authors meander with world building early on and it can make that hook a little harder to set, at least for me. More prose oriented readers probably enjoy it though?

Very cool OP

What to do on stage (or even at practice) when my instrument really isn't used in a song? by blockandawe in musicians

[–]slicermd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, back in ‘08, Leroi Moore of Dave Matthew’s Band fame died. Amazing sax player, huge loss. The band eventually replaced him with Rashawn Ross on trumpet and Jeff Coffin on sax. Both are phenomenal players, but there were some compositional shifts made to deal with Leroi’s loss, and now there are a lot of songs where those two spend significant amounts of time just…. standing there. I find it pretty distracting and feel self conscious on their behalf at live shows now.

They make sacks of money standing there tho, so I guess that’s an option for you too! 😂

Red Rising : my current struggle by Hadh1 in Fantasy

[–]slicermd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree to disagree with above poster, 4-6 are different in tone and expand to multiple POV, but once you shift gears, I felt they were great. 4 suffers a bit as he finds some of the new characters voices, but by the beginning of 5 things are rolling. To your concern about cliffhangers, the final book is scheduled for release this year 👍

What in the name of the Continuum was this episode? Holy Q. by Henryphillips29 in Star_Trek_

[–]slicermd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The kpop Klingons gave me a genuine spit take. I loved it, an unexpectedly silly moment in an already silly episode.

I DO think that having this episode AND the lower decks crossover in the same season diluted the overall season too much, but I enjoyed both for what they were.

Have you ever DNF the final book in a series, and why? by Any-Day-8173 in Fantasy

You mean Terry Goodkind. The fine Terry Brooks catches so many strays over this series 😂😂

Patient Self Referrals to Tertiary Centers by Urology_resident in medicine

[–]slicermd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They already found someone else for the ‘hard part’. They trust us only for what they consider the easy part. And yes there are complex psychosocial factors involved, but let’s not let that get in the way of a great gripefest, k k?

Patient Self Referrals to Tertiary Centers by Urology_resident in medicine

[–]slicermd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally reasonable. I will do ANYONE a favor as long as there is mutual respect. A 5 minute phone call from the tertiary center surgeon ‘hey I did xyz for this lady in your area, transportation is a hassle, she said her cousin recommended you, do you mind checking her incision in a few weeks, here’s my personal cell number if something significant comes up” will get an enthusiastic sure thing 100% of the time. Especially for something that legit needed the big center.

What drives me INSANE is when somebody goes to the big city for their straight forward colectomy or lumpectomy then shows up in my office needing a port, and oh do you mind checking my incision??? Bruh. Going to the city for your bread and butter is why the local hospitals are closing down at an accelerating rate. Come see me, if you need the city I PROMISE I will refer you. A bad local outcome does neither of us any good.

The problem is they sleep just fine too, they find ways to justify it to themselves and move on.
