What's your favorite thing about being a physician? With all the stress and heavy stuff we deal with, it's nice to reflect on the positives sometimes...

I left bedside nursing and the hospital 2 years ago. I don't feel guilty about it and honestly this pandemic
has convinced me to never return.

Can anyone suggest a good therapist in dt Toronto for someone in their 20s?

Hi all, I’ve been taking 15mg XR in the morning and 15mg IR as needed in the afternoon for about 2 years now and it’s helped a lot, however, when I take time off I just feel so lethargic. I’ve read about people taking Wellbutrin as well. Anyone have experiences with this? I meditate and exercise as well, but I just lack energy and almost feel like the same things don’t make me happy when I’m not on my medication.

Anyone else here realized they have some alcohol moderation issues? I graduated college within the past 1.5 yrs and my friends are still in the heavy weekend drinking phase. I have realized I need to cut my drinking way down. I don’t drink every day and won’t crave a drink when I’m sober but it’s like once I start I don’t typically stop. I only drink about 2 times a week, but it’s the volume of drinks that’s the issue. I’m not ready to quit - just cut down a lot! Tips/advice appreciated! TIA :)

To those with an anxious attachment style and have trust issues due to past childhood trauma you’re still healing from: How do you keep yourself from thinking your significant other is going to cheat on you when she/he goes to a party or out while you’re miles away? I’ve been in therapy to help, and trying to distract myself but my anxiety is keeping it from working and don’t want to put that pressure on him because I’m trying to work on it.

Any good dermatologist recommendations in the Frisco area

Anyone have experience with acid reflux with newborn ? Either mild or severe symptoms.. would like to understand how you navigated that scenario

On the news, there was a report that "stress" causes negative health effects. Um. OK. Don't people feel "stress" just by being alive? Like, what would be the control group that you could measure the results against? I don't know why, but it always makes me wonder

What's the biggest health myth you've heard that you'd like to bust? Mine is that supplements are always a healthier option than prescription or OTC meds. A lot of the supplements on the shelf contain all types of unnatural ingredients and can still be harmful depending on the dosage.

For those who are experiencing depression and those who aren’t: what gets you up in the morning?

Here is my current cocktail: Caffeine 400mg (200 when I wake up then another 200 when I go to the gym 30 minutes later), Modafinil 150, Bupropian XL 150. I used to take adderall but it made me crazy for lack of a better word. Looking to add a stimulant for focus. Suggestions? Currently deciding between Ritalin and Vyvanse. Also, I know I’m a stim junkie I was taking adderall for 20 years so my tolerance is pretty high. Please keep it positive and helpful thanks

How did you cope with post-grad depression? I feel like my life has stalled a bit.

Started hormones yesterday. I did not realize how restrictive this was going to be with random bloodwork / ultrasounds. Thought I could halt travel for 2 wks and do 7am appts. So hard with our job!

Does anyone have a therapist in the LA area that they recommend? Specifically someone who is familiar with these types of jobs. Obviously everyone’s doing telehealth for now but would be great if you could also say where they’re located.

Hey humans! this morning I exercised, steam roomed, and floated in a sensory deprivation tank. I can now see time flow like a river in front of me. I’m resonating the most positive auras and essences out to you all on a Saturday. Keep it breezy. 💨 💃 🏖

Hey all!!
Hope you all are doing good.
Can someone share your thought of how to deal with this situation. I am completely lost in terms of my mental health. Not able to overcome and accept this situation. I think this is right place to ask, as we all are going through the same.

Question to Interviewers:

Do you get informed if the person you interviewed joined the company or not?

How would you feel if many of the candidates you interviewed with positive feedback didn’t join the company?

Do companies measure time wasted interviewing candidates who didn’t join?

Just curious to know.

Looking forward to upward feedback.

Is it possible to lateral from NY big law to LA as a first year?

Hi all 🙂👋🏻 Apologies for such a late post. I have an offer of 18 CTC(1L joining bonus) from Larsen & Toubro Infotech & 12.5 fixed from IBM .
My joining in both are in around May last week. Tomorrow my IBM pre onboarding HR will connect with me. Should I ask for a counter offer tomorrow itself?
Or should I ask 2 weeks before joining?
Many told me that companies revise CTC when the joining date is near, else they show less interest. So should I go for it now itself?
Appreciate ur inputs🙂

Do you ever feel like administrators, either business trained or former providers, push for more productivity without appreciating the humanism of our work or understanding the need for resources specific to our specialty to be successful? What has been your experience?

I've officially made it - got a parking spot

Anyone else starting to realize everything in med school was to train us to be good at memorizing and following orders/guidelines given to us from someone else. Starting to feel like I haven’t done any real diagnostic medicine ever.

What it is incredible, is how we are still seeing new types of presentation of persons infected with Coronavirus

I've been gardening more to relieve stress and have some time to my self. Full endorsement!

We are still trying to get information out to our colleagues that vesicular rashes or generalized urticaria with mild URI symptoms are a presentation of Coronavirus

I love how "staff training" is the solution to every quality issue that arises. Doesn't seem to work very well

I don't know about you all, but I'm jealous of all these folks doing hand stand challenges and bake offs. Seems pretty nice right now

I have learned that several Housekeeping employees in the hospital have died from Coronavirus, and I'm ashamed to say, that I didn't even notice their absence

Yes, we're smart as doctors, but we're also busy, which I'm learning means I should not try to time the market. I keep seeming to miss.

I'm moving to the East Coast from L.A. in a few months. Not seeing patients due to covid and using my spare time to plan. Any advice on culture at work, dress codes, etc.?
