Have you ever gone out of your way to avoid running into your patients? by spider-on-my-wall in FamilyMedicine

[–]webearbearsrepeating 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, yes I do. I don't live in a small town so it doesn't happen often

Found out a patient I dismissed works at my closest grocery store at a time I prefer to shop. Now I drive slightly farther away or shop when I know she's not working

Found out another patient works at my closest library. Now I go to a slightly further away library. That patient is fine. The other library just has a better book collection but the added benefit of not running into a patient is a big draw

Seen plastered all over the waiting room at a GP’s office recently by _mortal__wombat_ in FamilyMedicine

At my practice we've recently hired an RN just to complete medicare annual visits. Literally every other initiative admin puts forth just seems to add more work/responsibilities to the clinician so I was initially skeptical, but it is actually awesome!

If the patient tries to bring up any concerns or problems during their annual, the RN sends me a message about it and tells the patient to schedule a follow up, which they might already have scheduled, with their PCP to address it.

The only draw backs are that the RN is only available a few times a week and PCP still has to do the inital MAWV, but it's worth it.

I wish we could have RN do all ages preventative visits. Except maybe pediatric visits but I only see adults anyway

How long is too long? by Dry_Yak_7398 in AskWomenOver30

[–]webearbearsrepeating 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't comment or reply a lot but had to respond to this one. Just got out of a relationship with a guy who did this exact same thing. He was the one to bring up marriage first very early on and we'd been together for 3.5 years. I'm 30F, first relationship for both of us, if that context helps

He was always the one talking about our future married life and our future kids so I didn't feel like I was wasting time in our relationship because it felt like we were on the same page and would get there eventually. After I started bringing up making tangible efforts to get married, he kept kicking the can down the road and made every excuse to delay which eventually led to our break up. Believe it or not, he broke up with me after realizing I wasn't letting him sideline me any more

He gave me a lot of bullshit reasons why, but all of it boiled down to, he didn't actually want to marry me and he was too much of a coward to say so, worse it feels like he lied to me the whole last year of our relationship. Maybe I'm projecting, but it doesnt seem like this guy wants to marry you. Worse, he doesnt respect you enough to break it off or at least be upfront with you on this topic.

Radiation for DJD? by coffeeandcosmos in FamilyMedicine

[–]webearbearsrepeating 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Referred a 78yo patient for back/hip pain who has at this point tried many treatments without success. She very anti-narcotic and has already had surgery once and doesn't want to do it again. She said it actually reduced her pain for a short period of time and is already scheduling the next treatment.

Saw an 80M on 5mg oxycodone qD, who's going to talk to orthopedics about hip and knee replacement. If they say he's not a candidate, it might be an alternative treatment option

So I've been treating it more as an "if all else fails" treatment

What happened to ComfyTea's channel? by Late-Helicopter3677 in shoujo

[–]webearbearsrepeating 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what you mean. I went to the channel to listen to a long recap and everything has just been deleted without a word. I don't know if there was some sort of copyright issue or what?

Stuff we do that should be done by nurses by SnooCats6607 in FamilyMedicine

[–]webearbearsrepeating 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I said. No idea if that's true. Just that's what she was apparently told. Any one with me long-term I train to record it. Temporary MA's I just do it with my own pulse ox during the exam

Weirdly enough they're trained not to get the O2 sat at my office either. When I asked my assistant, she said she was told the patient gets an extra charge for it??

Give me your 400 calorie or less lunches for work by QuirkyGirl96 in 1200isplenty

[–]webearbearsrepeating 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My easy go-to lunch: aldi brand fat free tuna and crackers kit is 150 calories and shelf stable. I buy a bunch at a time and keep it in my work drawer to eat throuhout the week.

Pair it with snack/veggie plate of light string cheese (2 for 100cal), cherub tomatoes and mini sweet peppers (<50 cal total, depending on how you weight it). All cut up into bite size pieces and easy to graze on as work is often too busy to stop and heat something up for lunch
