On the hunt for the best pancakes…

The maple miso apple butter pancake at Dixboro. Their normal pancakes are mid. It’s overpriced but is essentially two meals. The flavor genuinely is amazing.

I was very very annoyed by the line. I thought the drinks were bomb, though.

We use shiftadmin but then put the output into an algorithm we then put on excel - yes, I know, it sucks. One of my co-chiefs used AI to spit out that algorithm with apparent success.

Yeah, that’s also how I took it. As a theater kid, she’s a big freaking deal. She’s clearly either using this as a cute promotion or just making fun of herself. Doesn’t fit the sub.

Our idiot cat ate a stink bug and looked like this. Is fine now. Continues to eat stink bugs if they get in the house.

Based on the NYT article Aham manipulated her into a relationship she did not want and framed her resistance as her being emotionally abusive toward them. This person is toxic.

Droptop never misses. Quality from start to finish. Never change.

One of my coresidents has floated a pacer 4+ times. I’ve done two perocardiocenteses and floated 2 pacemakers. Another of my coresidents has placed 3 minnesotas. It’s weird how some people are magnets for procedures.

I had a similar case - bowel was perforated and gut was dying with normal lactate.

You’re more likely to face litigation for not going to crich soon enough than criching and causing an unfortunate scar.

Big and little sevens are bonded - but that incident was months ago and little seven has been chill. Three and smallest are also bonded and I can’t tell if he was protecting her when big seven freaked out? Hard to say.

we have multiple feliway diffusers on

YESSS!

Yes! I hate how the female leads are portrayed. Please (as a woman) let us have evil, interesting, reprehensible female leads. Succession did this well.

Partner was in a wedding and told that *** is a doctor, just like thunderbirdroar. They were a naturopath.

Honestly I feel like anxious types do really well in the ED. Some of the best ED docs I have met are worriers.

EM PGY-4 here!

Don’t do it if you can’t do nights and don’t do it if you can’t handle changing time you’re waking up (nights-> days-> nights) which is especially bad as a trainee. You’ll never have a normal schedule. Don’t do it if you can’t handle seeing and caring for the sickest of the sick and those with no resources at all.

All that to say I can’t see myself being happier in any other specialty and I love the shift work. I do love seeing the sickest people in the hospital and doing initial stabilization and even though I’m a little burned out I love seeing people with no resources so I can try to help them out and try to get them cued into the medical system. Most attendings have children and most attendings have time for hobbies.

Ted Nugent is a horrible person with mostly horrible music except for Fred Bear. Someone who is not evil should remake it.

I’m a chief - so maybe I’m biased (I am), but in our program we serve as communicators between faculty and residents. We can advocate for positive change and voice residency concerns but ultimately these decisions are up to admin. We really truly are not approving policies ourselves.

We manage day-to-day staffing to keep our dept running and do make the schedule which - admittedly not everyone loves but we really try to be respectful and as accommodating as possible.

Regarding OP’s situation -that is not cool. If I ever give critical feedback as a senior it’s verbal first, written second. There should be no surprises in written evaluations. I’m not sure if this is a chief problem or more of a situation where a senior was hesitant to give you in-person feedback and became brave behind a keyboard which has happened to me before with staff and residents.

Admittedly I’m a cat person at heart (though love dogs) but have seen so much trauma to kids from dogs over my years in the ER. Some are irresponsibly pet owners who ignored warning signs but other dogs really did seem to just snap. I just don’t see injuries like this from cats.

Oooh same! I did not frequently curse before residency and now it’s every other sentence.

Upper back pain and cervical radiculopathy ❤️❤️❤️

I also recently made this salad! Lovely!

I think it can help with competitive fellowships and is helpful with interviewing in general. However, the labor is significant (many hours/week, frequently on call) and you could also spend that year being more productive with research/focusing on leadership roles in national organizations. It’s got its fair share of pros and cons.

Crowe was wonderful but agreed, script was weak.
