Jews are actually genetically closer to Arabs than to Europeans. That’s why it’s funny when people call Arabs anti-semetic, since they are literally another Semitic people. We’re all just cousins, right?

#notallwhitewomen (sorry I couldn’t resist)
:) they’re the best
Also not feeling it. I’m working overnight tonight and tomorrow night in the ER, and I sent my husband back home to be with his family, so it’s just me and the dogs. Sometimes it’s rough living far from family.
Also the information out there is inconsistent - initially the Jezebel article said she had a cardiac arrest, and they switched it to heart attack - those are two drastically different conditions with drastically different potential outcomes.
I am a young female physician, and I have had similar experiences with both Southwest and United. A Southwest flight attendant removed ‘Dr.’ on my boarding pass (on a rare occasion where I was checking a bag) after grilling me about where I worked and pretending she knew people there (like I was making it up and she…
Can you re-take your comps? I know my husband had a student who failed his the first time then was able to re-take. I’m sure that may vary by field, but maybe this isn’t the end that it feels like now? Sending good thoughts.
Hahah me too! We have the same wedding day and also met on OKC. Hope planning is going well and you’re enjoying the process!
This is a beautiful tribute. You will be missed. Best wishes at the New Yorker - they are lucky to have you.
I’m stellar at guessing peoples’ weights - because I’m an ER doc and sometimes people are too sick to weigh and we have to get an approximate weight for medication doses (and my guesses are almost always immediately followed by measuring the actual weight, which is how I know I’m good at it). But I use my skill for…
As somebody who has spent way too much time trying to cut off think/harder metal rings from injured fingers in the ER, I second this. We once had to call the fire department to the ER because we couldn’t get the ring cutter through a super thick ring that some guy had - they showed up with a circular saw and were…
I felt uncomfortable wearing my (much smaller than that) engagement ring until my fiance got it insured. I basically left it at home in its box until I wasn’t worried that I was walking around with multiple months’ rent on my finger that could stolen or lost way too easily.
Ours was a documentary on urban gun violence, so it felt less voyeuristic, but we never knew when they were coming. Most people didn’t even wash their faces or brush their teeth in the course of the 30hr shift, so the idea of being in camera was sort of terrible.
I’ve always wondered the same thing. I’ve never watched one of those shows but have had film crews present at the big County ER I worked in as a resident. The occasional crew we saw was always more distant and couldn’t get too close to patients, but it would make most of the providers uncomfortable (would you want to…
I’m just confused how TWO students’ necks got cut - you’d think after one they’d call it a day?
Cerave also completely irritated my sensitive skin so you're not alone.
Honest to god it’s because no doctors want to think this could happen. It would require such degree of forethought (including bringing his own medication to the hospital to administer). Most doctors won’t even do intimate-area exams without a chaperone to avoid any semblance of impropriety. It is just so thoroughly…
There were actual talc particles found in her ovarian tumor.
This is a little bit of a complex question that you’d be better off running by your OB/gyne - whether or not it’s ‘worth it’ depends a lot on you and your history. I think there may be issues with getting insurance to cover for adults, but to be totally honest this is not part of my practice so I can’t give you a…
You are the kind of mom that I as a physician adore. Keep up that good work - you make our jobs so much easier (and most importantly you protect your child from terrible preventable illnesses). **internet high five**
