Irreverent anesthesiologist, law student because why the Hell not, sock knitter, funk band groupie. Posts are not medical or legal advice. Whatever you’re cooking, it needs more garlic.
answering if they’re not in my contacts.

Except when they manage to spoof the number of a local hospital. I answer in case it’s a real phone call, then feel stupid for being fooled again.

And my sincere comment: would the results be the same if the single or multiple treatment options were offered to the patient instead of the physician?

Digression: after 2 round trips in the last month, I recognize the pervasiveness of airport book psychology.

Pro trip: At Midway, don’t buy a best seller at the newsstand. There’s a real bookstore between B15 and B17 and it’s worth the walk regardless of where else you need to be.

I’ve found my new life goal: to sit at my kitchen table in my bathrobe telling people about the absurdity of our corporate culture.

You misspelled years.

Looks like they’re moving to USB-C for AirPods too. At least my couple years old AirPods Pro can use the watch charger so I’m down to 2 cables. (Plus a mini USB for hearing aids)

Except Ulta does that “ you must give me your email address or you can’t return your purchase. Also your cat will pee in your shoes, your toast will land jelly side down and your internet will cut out just as he’s about to kiss her the first time. Are you sure you don’t want to?”

Connecting flight cancelled. Trying now to decide which of 3 less than desirable options i should take.

The airline is already sending notices about my options if my flights are disrupted or cancelled. Both airports I’ll be flying into are listed as potentially affected.
November 6, 2025 at 10:22 PM
Yeah, I’m flying on Saturday.

Correction-I’m scheduled to fly on Saturday.

Uh huh. I’ve ridden both red and blue lines, and they’re not elevated above much of anything through the loop.

Have you ever seen a Subway sandwich injury in the ER?

Are they……combobulating?

OK, so she owns that one, but how about this?

Oh, wait. He wrote it.

Odd that by playing it straight instead adding the swing he made it sound more ragged.

Dude never ate in the dormitory cafeteria. Or if he did, infrequently enough to miss every food fight.

At the risk of getting booted out of the thread, I found rounds educational when I was a student and intern . At the time I knew so little that it helped to have a model for what I should do.
November 4, 2025 at 4:31 PM
I propose a head to head study of rounds vs riding the elevator from basement to top floor. They’re both actions that have utility but are of unnecessarily long duration and could be accomplished quicker by a less complicated mechanism.

Were you there early enough to know Borders as “a” bookstore?

No Hospitalist will ever take one of your post ops for that comment.
