Not wanting to give away too much personal information on the Internet, thanks to my residency wanting "the brand" and social media clout, we were required to have an online presence and bio. But I went to residency in the same location I'm currently practicing, Eastern Midwest.

I originally applied to regions and Hennepin, would have loved to go there. Due to other external factors, it was better to come here.

First time noticing this community, subscribed!

I'm a 2 year post residency EM doc in the Eastern Midwest region. I actually grew up on the west side of Minneapolis! I miss that city, but doubt I'll be moving back there any time soon.

I'm a hospital worker in Ohio. I've had plenty of positive tests. I've not admitted anyone for COVID in ~3 years.

It's just not deadly anymore.

15 minutes is just reactionary spitballing to exaggerate.

Most of my previous "office work" was primarily back end development, and the approach tended to be hands off from my supervisor. So long as work was getting done in a timely fashion, my hours and daily schedule was up to me. I much preferred that approach as opposed to rigid hours and direct management. I suppose different strokes here.

One employee said they want to see new safety protocols in place ... and is calling on Wells Fargo to do more.

How is this at all negligence on the company? How terrible would it be if company policy mandated 15 minute buddy check in system to prevent this? Are we just searching for someone to blame when there may be nobody to blame?

As someone who switched to Linux before discovering that it would break the PC integration (quest won't let it run without their shitty app and it won't run in Linux), here's hoping that this is a good step towards improving quest functionality in Linux!

Meh, there's really no overarching governing body regarding this. At academic facilities, most operations are primarily performed by residents (completed medical school and are doctors, but not specialized) and medical students (not yet doctors). All this is done under the license of the attending doctor. It's increasingly common for surgeries to be performed by NPs (who can get degrees online), PAs (this requires 3 years of in person work), or surgical assistants (few weeks certificate course). It's all based on the level of comfort of the attending physician. If he/she was directly overseeing the daughter drilling and ensured sterile technique, probably not the cause of the patient being "unable to work". That's probably more so due to that fact that TBIs suck.

Good for them. Whatever the reasons for their son's crime, it's not theirs. With all of the vitriol out there, a lawyer is a good idea.

Yeah, we tried that one. I didn't think anyone's stomach volume is large enough for that amount. None of us could get past the 45 minute mark.

Sounds like a fun game! Depending on tolerance, maybe beer instead of shots...

Reminds me of the game thunderstruck. Get everyone in a circle with a few drinks on hand. Start the song "thunderstruck" by AC/DC. First person starts chugging and on every time they say "thunderstruck", that person stops chugging and the next in line starts. Very fun but uneven. Once the into starts, one person is chugging for a bit.
