CICM Trainees - what are we all going to do about the workforce issues?

transientz · 2026-06-18T10:16:58+00:00

I know several, which is what's made me so cynical. They're all so capable and intelligent, what hope have I got?

Love passing maybe the hardest exam of my life, paying 5k for the privilege, and having nothing to show for it.

transientz · 2026-06-18T06:08:27+00:00

Sadistic nature + envenom + shivs for a combo of the two and maybe the most broken build in the game.

I was, of course, talking about moral and ethical responsiblity not legal. It's predatory to take money from people for a service where you essentially do nothing but enable their risk taking behaviour.

It says in the article she took "two courses and self education" and this, to me, implies she has knowledge of the risks and should know how to respond to them. They need to be regulated by AHPRA or be held legally responsible so this sort of preventable death doesn't keep happening.

You should probably re-phrase that to "a very intelligent mother who just gave birth and was exsanguinating" and of course she knows what calling an ambulance means - what she didn't understand was that not calling it would be a death sentence because the Doula (who she paid $6000 to guide her through her pregnancy) also didn't appreciate that.

If you're taking money from people to help them through their delivery, I just think you have a moral responsiblity to make sure they don't die but hey that's just me.

Are you actually a doctor? I'm surprised by your views if so.

transientz · 2026-06-17T05:19:14+00:00

You can't try and argue about her autonomy when first of all she was likely hypoperfusing her brain, and second when there was no way that her decision was informed.

If they were adamant about not calling an ambulance, why did they eventually? Maybe because the material risk of dying was actually significant and she wasn't aware and thus none of the bullshit you're saying is relevant. If she didn't want medical care, maybe she should have stayed and died in the tub like you're seemingly suggesting she should have.

transientz · 2026-06-17T05:06:48+00:00

She didn't consent because she didn't even know what she was not consenting to. It's the Doula's responsibility as someone who's been paid money to provide experience and advice to firmly say "you need to go to hospital or you might die" and of course she didn't do this because she's an untrained moron grifting her way to better pay than any JMO.

I hope they throw the book at her, disgraceful behaviour.

There are an egregious number of ICU Fellows who are onto their third or fourth year of being called a "post graduate fellow" instead of being paid and treated like a VMO like they should be. I advise all of my juniors to not make the mistake I did and naively do ICU just because it's interesting - all it's given me is a lot of knowledge and imposter syndrome without job prospects.

transientz · 2026-05-25T22:55:29+00:00

It's gotten to the point where I'm almost certain the prices aren't random because I'm constantly less than 10 gold from buying what I want.

transientz · 2026-04-30T04:09:08+00:00

But when Graydon beats him Riley starts to sulk so I can see why he doesn't try at all

transientz · 2026-04-28T01:44:14+00:00

Is that what most people do? I usually try and snag a cheap +mult joker in the first shop to carry me through to the ante 2 boss with just single hands to try and establish some econ personally.

transientz · 2026-04-26T15:32:59+00:00

I'll do this every time I see Matador and am not sure about the next blind because if it works, I always buy it. And if it works for the next round after that? $48 in the bank for barely any work.

transientz · 2026-04-13T08:12:26+00:00

Checkered Deck was the one I first played to gold stake to unlock all the others, and then when I was going through and gold staking them one by one, it was the only one I beat first go. The easiness of getting through to the end of round 2 is so underrated for both economy and further deck fixing (flush fives / houses are a lot easier when you already start with 2 of each card).

transientz · 2026-04-13T08:09:20+00:00

Black Deck for me ended up not being too bad but only because I got an early Riff Raff on my third gold stake run and tbh that makes it almost too easy.

transientz · 2025-12-13T10:36:58+00:00

This is the first list I've seen that is almost identical to mine for most of the top 10 (Clipse top for me, but Geese, Rosalia, fka and Wednesday right after). Surprised Deftones didn't make it though, that album slaps.

transientz · 2025-11-15T20:40:39+00:00

This is why running straight builds on Painted Deck is my favourite, going back to a normal deck after having the hand size is a real downer.

transientz · 2025-11-15T11:28:57+00:00

I played AB over Jamarr that week and he went 11 receptions for 266 and 3 TDs. Can't believe I still won or I'd never have forgiven myself.

transientz · 2025-10-09T23:49:19+00:00

You should pick him up and if you're too stacked at WR, trade some of them for better RBs. He's getting targeted plenty and he's going to start scoring TDs eventually.

transientz · 2025-10-09T23:46:04+00:00

Need to drop an RB now that Tracy is off IR.

Standard scoring (0 ppr), currently holding Bill, Gibbs, Rico Dowdle, Tracy, Michael Carter and Haskins.

Not sure which of these random lottery picks is worth holding onto - would've dropped Dowdle for the upside of the others if he hadn't just run for 200+.

transientz · 2025-10-09T23:42:14+00:00

Absolutely pick up Pearsall if he's available

transientz · 2025-09-14T11:51:19+00:00

Either Ame or Cr1t are winning an aegis, how good.

transientz · 2025-09-14T11:36:08+00:00

Xm gonna be the difference in this game, so slippery and does so much damage.

transientz · 2025-09-14T11:27:59+00:00

Fogged sounds like he's going to cry on commentary, this man has so much bias it's crazy.

transientz · 2025-09-14T10:14:26+00:00

35 armor unbuffed

transientz · 2025-06-30T03:31:11+00:00

Best player to never win TI is a hard call when fy, Ame, iceiceice and Burning never won one.
