Byates secretly wants to slap a CAT sticker and drop it permanently at Beaver Mtn….it’s ok, we understand
Shades of grey!
Nothing in science or healthcare is final (good catch that’s an odd statement from them).
The NIH summary of all guidelines isn’t radically different and ultimately it’s a shared decision with...
^^^yeah mislabeling a CBC or a chem tube is one thing, but mislabeling a path specimen or a cup of sperm is next level terrifying
Good summary intended for patients regarding prostate screening:...
Yes fear of mortality might reach 60% for me personally. Most of the fear of mortality is rooted in fear of how it would affect my son/wife. I’d jump off a bridge in a nano-second if it weren’t for...
Yeah, when I was doing chemo I got my first infusion of a regimen that has quite a bit of additional pulmonary toxicity potential, it wasn’t until the second of 12 infusions that I got approval for...
What a crazy ass horrible story, especially because it created real harm for you, and I'm assuming delayed legitimatize diagnosis and treatment for the other guy.
Don't know anything about focal laser ablation but brief search looks like it is still in clinical trials which is obviously why it's not covered by insurance (yet?).
My assumption is you opted to wait for genetic testing and further discussion of nuances/treatment options would depend on results of genetic testing. I'm not in anyway a urology expert, but that's...
FWIW, I would assume you need to be your own advocate in any healthcare system across the world. It's a human behavioral trait that has distinct survival advantages in any circumstance.
This is why USPTF doesn't recommend routine PSA screening, because it can lead to unnecessary harm via biopsy, etc. It didn't take long for a mag to post a negative experience from a "false...
Shift in boundaries as a patient?
Yeah, I had a hard time putting on ski boots. When you point your toes down to slip into a tight ski boot, my toes would curl under and jam in the boot. Couldn't extend them. Total pain in the ass...
Good point. I feel like as a 52 year old man myself, it's pretty easy to remove barriers of potential embarrassment when talking about urinary dribbling/retention.
FWIW, US preventative task force still lists routine PSA as Grade C (selectively recommended). I order it on men who are symptomatic.
I have neuropathy (weakness/numbness) mostly in left foot/ankle and have mild "foot drop" due to chemo. I have "cramping" in my left toes if I curl them like a fist, and they don't want to release. ...
Go to the “teachers behaving badly” thread. Same vibe.
The ski binding cupboard closure is worth 12k alone. It’s not for me but your crazy build is certainly legendary and I enjoy the creativity.
It's nice to see "Old DTM" still taking/and landing airs in style.
This is awesome
And this thread feels like 20 years ago on TGR.....
Nice to see a front page trip report, I miss those days.
Nice work representing, DTM.
Try Voltaren/Diclofenac gel OTC
No cardiac activity on point of care ultrasound. That’s pretty fucking dead by most definitions;)
Yeah was thinking about him. But he came out with a bit of a pulse I think?
Or to look sketchy so you never have to lock your doors. That’s how I roll.
Great rig to pull into Walmart, black out the windows, and go full homeless/fentanyl.
Same, buddy arrested out of hospital, on ECMO x 3 days. Survived without neurological sequelae.
He mentioned same as your buddy.
Anoxia/hypoperfusion/no perfusion is probably like getting 100mg...
Nice. Those ORUs are cool. Pop them up with zero exposure to shit weather unlike the Hiatus. Both are cool in their own respective designs.
The Big Belts became largely impassable after the Deep Creek fire. The wind now rips through the trees and drifts a section of the road that makes it impossible. There’s a bypass people use but it’s...
Scenic Cruise?
I used to live in Flag, put up a handful of soft sandstone routes in Sedona in early 2000s. Fun place.
Had a good friend, flight nurse, he suffered cardiac arrest while flying a pediatric trauma patient. No intervention for nine minutes until he arrived at Univ of Utah. He was essentially clinically...
Peeps on the IG are having heart attacks….
How much debt to Canadian physicians carry after Med school?
Bennymac? Any other first hand accounts?
Country wide EMR? Say it ain’t so!
You mean when Tom Dick or Harry show up in an ER unconscious in another state/province the ER provider can actually see their medical history on a universal...
Are you talking ECMO? A buddy of mine had out of hospital arrest, ended up on ECMO for a few days and came out the other end with a functional brain. He was late 40s at the time. Still doing well.
...
Good to hear cogent non-political first hand observations…
Seems logical and what I expected. It would be nice to utilize healthcare for legit complaints and not fear the “gotcha surprise” bill we get here. Patients ask how much XYZ costs and we can’t even...
How long do patients wait for CT, ultrasound, MRI after it’s ordered? Who determines urgency and wait times?
This report paints a wait time Americans would not accept. I end up doing prior...
My old ass right knee needs a break after three days chasing my kid around Jackson and Red Lodge. I’m showing up for last day at Showdown but I need some time off. Biking is rehab.
Getting old is...
Billing and coding in any hospital organization is by the book. We get feedback fairly frequently from coders, and I can assure you hospitals are not submitting fraudulent claims with any frequency....
I like it when it becomes rideable quick. I’m all for it.
Generational Trauma: ^^^
Imagine being Alaskan/Canadian/American native.
They got fucked hard and continue to suffer for it. Spiraling �� for what seems like forever.
Yeah, our upbringing’s...
Buzz give yourself some credit, you’ve made progress and it obviously won’t change over night. Keep hope alive and go easy on yourself. You’re making progress in the right direction.
No reason to...
Generational unfuckery….good job
Yup, US system is great, until it isn't, then it's fucking horrifying and unethical.
I navigated as a chemo patient last year, it was like a full time job for my wife (I didn't give a fuck about...
US is #10 in the world for obesity, lead only by Polynesian /Samoan. 10 year old kids in this country have documented fatty liver disease, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. Little kids with...
The aeromedical insurance system is such a racket. You’re no doubt dealing with Airlift (I used to fly for them) and Life Flight Network. It used to be done to capture flights (call Airlift I have...
To play devil's advocate, I spent a long time in the aeromed industry, our profit margins were slim/non-existent. It costs a lot of $$ to pay nurses, pilots, mechanics to be on call 24hrs a day and...
seborrheic keratosis? Usually removal is elective.
I want 15 year old knees and athleticism again.....great pic.
