yeah, my PCP basically plugs his ears if I were to even mention I have a problem. So, you boys can have selective hearing when you're physicians as long as you know your female patients have a gyn to talk to.

Haha nah I'd certainly listen to every one of my patients no matter what it is. I know I'm not going into GYN so I would have to pass my patient off to someone more qualified.

But you know what they say; never mix business with pleasure :naughty: 😀
 
Time for some gifs.

That awkward feeling when you called in sick to work legitimately feeling ****ty at the time, and then feel fine 2 hours later.

🙁

Hahaha day to day? Probably so....I think I'll get my fill of deliveries during rotations haha
 
Wow.

Just read an article on medscape. Apparently Angelina Jolie tested positive for BRCA1 and opted for prophylactic double mastectomy. I know these things happen all the time, but it's still kind of shocking.

Yeah. Particularly interesting considering Peggy Orenstein's recent NYT article about over-awareness of breast cancer.

That was addressed in the medscape article. There were instructions to PCP's for how to help patients decide whether or not to do the genetic screening. They are expecting a large influx of interest in BRCA screens
 
Didn't they say she had an 85% chance of developing it though? Thats a pretty high percentage, even if it is just over your lifetime and you get it when you turn 80. Not sure if your article covers this, but shes also going in to get one of her ovaries removed as well.

Yep. 87% breast cancer risk, 50% ovarian. I don't blame her.

I think it was the right call too, but for some reason shes facing a huge backlash over her choice. I've seen a lot of comments and articles accusing her of supporting that testing company, of overhyping the risks since she wasn't diagnosed, and of only doing it because shes rich and can afford it. Not too sure where the anger is coming from 🙁

Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. Besides, anyone who thinks someone would do a double mastectomy as a promotional thing is a little crazy...

It's the promotion of her plastic surgeons and a particular type of nipple reconstuction that has garnered the ire.

Oh, the article I read spoke nothing of any type of reconstructive surgery.


Also, I didn't remember that Daniel Craig was in this movie? So young looking. Lol
