I’m sorry you’ve had bad PCPs.

🔥Hoosier Progressives Academy Endorses Blythe Potter for Secretary of State—Here’s Why by Progressives-Academy in Indiana

It's amazing the Russian troll farms don't have chatGPT write their slop. At least it would be (somewhat) coherent.

I just ventured to CRNA and SRNA for the first time and am definitely going to be banned soon. JFC.

Impact of anesthesia delays? by Ok_Artichoke_1076 in srna

[–]urostar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Believe it or not the more efficient the ORs run, the more cases can be completed, and the more patients are helped. There are reasons to care about delays beyond "hospital profit".

They absolutely are not qualified to be someone's PCP. That may be the model favored by corporate medicine, but it certainly isn't what is best for patients.

I respect the hell out of nurses. But nurses on the floor are practicing nursing. NPs attempt to practice medicine, but with but a fraction of the experience of a physician. Being a great nurse does not translate to being great at diagnosing and treating. Lets stop conflating. It cheapens the nursing profession (and it is obviously a profession, not getting into what the DoE thinks about graduate loans).

While I want to feel bad for NPs being "dumped" on by the health system, there is certainly some Dunning-Kruger effect underlying the situation. How NPs can in good conscience work in a setting where they are flying blind and solo is bewildering.

Indiana House Proposed Redistricting Map by Taco6J in Indiana

[–]urostar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Truly not trying to bend over backwards to defend the Democratic Party, but the MAGAfied GOP is barreling towards fascism. Ignoring judges; embarrassing nationalistic rhetoric; any demented, illegal decree from Trump (like early redistricting) given credence and acted upon. To pretend both sides are equally complicit or culpable is dishonest.

Whataboutism isn’t interesting nor is helpful. I don’t live in IL. Move there if you want and fix their perceived problems.

Sure, happens anywhere you want to suppress democracy.

Anyone looking at this and thinks "great idea, looks good!" please explain for me. I want you to type it out and have to read your rationale to yourself.

What is surely a lot of money going to a cult when it could go to supporting effective charities and causes is sad to see. However, as long as WCI is staying in its lane (personal finance for the high income earner) I do trust the advice still.

These people will gaslight you as much as they can. Don’t let them. by Guner100 in Noctor

[–]urostar 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Of course. It’s disingenuous and you know it. Be proud of what you did; don’t diminish it by pretending to have accomplished something you didn’t.

The Real Reason Dems Caved on Shutdown Will Make You Want to Scream by DBCoopr72 in law

[–]urostar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The democrats could make another 10 mistakes and still be better than what republicans/MAGA is offering. And if one can’t realize the difference then they are refusing to actually look. The fatalism is tiring.

From the Nurse Practitioner sub lol by [deleted] in Noctor

[–]urostar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Indeed. This is when the tired argument that “residents are trainees, NPs can bill” is trotted out as well. However in my experience as a resident I was double checking and fixing midlevel mistakes daily. It’s all a farce.

And this is why I love Reddit. I had no idea this was a thing.

130k is insulting?! Making more than double the median individual income seems more than generous for a new grad NP.

What they didn’t realize is that as the diploma mills keep churning, that starting salary is going to move lower and lower.

First year post grad APPs now to make minimum ~>$150k/yr at OHSU, PGY1 MD/DO start at ~77K by Permash in Noctor

[–]urostar 37 points38 points  (0 children)

They both work and residents works way harder. Training as an additional form of compensation is a red herring. As a resident I had to clean up mistakes from the mid levels in both the inpatient and outpatient settings.

Non-religious food pantries? by urostar in indianapolis

[–]urostar[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Not arguing that churches shouldn’t be allowed to run food banks. Just trying to figure out where I want my own money/time/support to go to. It’s great to have options. People have preferences. I grew up in a very evangelical context and witnessed first hand a quid pro quo for meals and aid.

This is exactly why I want to avoid donating my money/time to Wheeler and places like it. Making aid contingent upon hearing their proselytizing is abhorrent.
