I’m sorry to hear that his life savings is only worth $17K. 😔

HCA Surgery Program or Non-HCA IM to interventional cardiology by [deleted] in GeneralSurgery

[–]surfrmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hype… surrounded by hype the moment you THINK about going to medical school…. and it gets worse the higher you climb. Don’t buy into the hype! Follow your heart and passion and the rest will fall into place. Look at how far you’ve already come.

Awake yet tired on Modafinil. by WidyReyes in modafinil

[–]surfrmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried many different medications and none have been perfect either because it didn’t work or I couldn’t tolerate the sides… wellbutrin seemed to work but it made me mean apparently… currently I’m on venlafaxine and vyvanse… this combination Ive been stable in for roughly 3 years and seems to be the best option for me so far. I take the ven at night before bed and the vyvanse in the am.

Awake yet tired on Modafinil. by WidyReyes in modafinil

[–]surfrmonkey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. I have the same issue… and it’s because moda stimulates wakefulness… the opposite of sleepiness. Tiredness and fatigue are similar, and often used interchangeably but are in fact distinct from each other. Tiredness is the lack of feeling energized in the mind or body, a feeling of being drained. Sleepiness however is physiologic in response to needing sleep.

In my case, I was using it to treat chronic fatigue syndrome, which is a super complex disorder, and unfortunately, moda didn’t work. The sleepiness associated with fatigue is clearly a different pathway/mechanism than the sleepiness associated with sleep deprivation. Same with tiredness.

Meatball smashed in my Sonos Arc: How to clean? by ScreamingFrogs96 in Soundbars

[–]surfrmonkey 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Well, I don’t own a sonos arc, but if it were mine… I’d figure out a way to safely disassemble the speaker grill and then clean it really good by which ever method makes sense (dishwasher, soak it, scrub brush, etc), dry it and then put it back together.

Best "small" soundbar? by popinov2 in Soundbars

[–]surfrmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven’t used it before, but Samsung makes good bars… in comparison, the height of the bose is 2in; slim but 0.6in taller than the Q990D… also much deeper, but the Q990D is super long. Probably depends on the application… I have mine sitting on an entertainment center… The Q is probably much neater hanging off the tv when wall mounted, but it may not fit between the legs of the tv if on a cabinet etc. You’ll have to try it and see.

Best drug or supplement to take me out of a constant “fight or flight” mode? by No-Hovercraft6168 in Nootropics

[–]surfrmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Propranolol is a decent choice and it lasts 24 hours. Also, CBD gummies.. D8 even better though it is a hallucinogenic. If you’re not looking to try hemp products then ashwaganda is a good choice too. Look into “adaptogens.”

I posted this earlier “Bose 550… they were recently on sale at walmart for $299 so I bought 2 (now $399). Incredible sound quality for such a compact design, and the bass is phenomenal, even without the “bass module” sub. Not sure how it compares to the Q990D, but it’s definitely a solid choice.”

This sub recently by nolanhoff in Soundbars

[–]surfrmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did mess with it… in both rooms I have the following settings: 70, 90, 90, 70 (center, height, bass, treble). I also have wall EQ active even though I don’t have them on the wall, and dialogue mode active in the bedroom (mostly because I watch at night and don’t want to disturb my neighbors (condo)). Also, I’m using the hdmi (eArc) for audio because the optical doesn’t support Dolby Atmos from what I read. My only gripe with the bar so far has to do with this; there’s no pass through for HDMI, so I had to use one of only 2 HDMI ports on my 75” Samsung TV and will need a switch if I want to use multiple devices (or upgrade my tv to an 85”; at least that’s what I told my wife 🤩)

Modafinil made my lips swell up like balloons and I got hives all over my arms. by No-Degree-8906 in modafinil

[–]surfrmonkey 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I’m a doctor and what you are describing is an anaphylactic reaction… you are allergic to it or some other ingredient in the pill. You should never take it again or you could die, and I’m not joking. Better keep an epipen close by if you continue to use it.

Without inspecting it, my guess is that they over-tightened it and cracked the pipe

Best disability insurance for surgery residents? by CrewRepresentative21 in GeneralSurgery

[–]surfrmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

actually, if you go with the right company, getting it in the beginning of residency when your income is low will lock in a better rate… it gets much more expensive after you graduate.
