Are GI and IR docs surgeons?

The dude who called out ophtho is like "its all semantics anyway." Im like ok.. ill sign you up with the optom for your cataract surgery.
Allo is another version of preallo. The only difference is occasionally there are some useful gems in allo that are worth reading.
My bad my bad
Husband asked me yesterday if we should stock up on emergency groceries in case of a quarantine, and then came home with the beginning of a cold, so this has been my weekend
There was some NPR story where they were talking about it and now all the non-medical people in my family have lost their minds
In their defense Saturdays are usually jaaammmed. It took me like 45 minutes to get an order tonight. You just placed your order at a bad time (dinner rush).
Not even in undergrad? The dorms? No summer camps as a kid?
Summer camp? lol ok dont really count that yeah of course i did... but no, undergrad lived at home. then apartments in med school and internship, then a house in residency
lol im a regular... ive never seen it longer than 35-40 minutes. But i got there about 40 minutes after placing and they were telling people it was an hour wait. She checked on my order and then i think because I was there and it was already in the process of being made she got them to make mine faster and i only waited another 5-10. So overall it was under an hour when I actually got it. Not the worst thing. Can remove this rant from circulation now lol
Once I rolled over and saw my roommate sleeping. I've only ever seen my sisters or the occasional cousin sleeping. For a moment I thought how funny it was that colleges just bunked two complete strangers in one room together. Why the heck was I watching a stranger sleep?
Yeah, If you're already there they'll expedite it.
That's real crazy for pick up though. I'd expect that for delivery. The longest we've ever told someone was 60-90 minutes and that was for Superbowl.
oh, yeah I always pick it up. Id never risk delivery forgetting my sauces 🤣 Plus now they got those new drink machines and I looooove that raspberry coke zero. Gotta sit and drink some and refill it before I leave lol
Heh, my parents divorced in either kindergarten or 1st grade, so I got used to saying "Mom's house" or "Dad's house" (though Mom had full custody so that was "home" until senior year). I just got used to mentally saying "home" = "wherever I happened to live." So when I lived in the dorms in undergrad, that was my home. And any future apartments were "home." It's funny when people just say "home" referring to "where my parents live" or "my childhood home" without a second thought.
But wow, you legit probably saved a TOOOOON of money not having to pay rent/utilities/food in undergrad.
Cool story bro. 😛
Next time Ima ask for the MsP discount
They'll spit in your food!
One time at band summer camp when I was 16, my roomie and I were having a random convo after lights out, and I heard the most disgusting noise (like a saliva fap fap fap fap), but it stopped when I stopped talking. Me, an intellectual, just straight up went, "Dude! What's that noise? Are you ****ing jacking off?" He went "Noooooooo." I went "Oh ok." But it continued. Ugh.
Then towards the end of the 3-week camp, during the afternoon one time after we got out of class (this was nerd camp where we're in class for 7 hours every day), I walked into our dorm room and he was just standing there staring at me. We locked eyes. I thought it was just weird he was just staring at me all still so I went "What????" That's when I broke eye contact and looked down, and broseph straight up had his **** completely out, and ... it was happy to see me. KFC. I left the room extremely confused, since if you're changing your clothes normally you wouldn't be right by the doorway, so I left to give him some privacy. To this day I have terrible gaydar, but this is one of those memories that's burned into your skull and makes you wonder.
The end. Thanks for coming to my #tedtalk.

I dont quite know that there is an accurate emoji I can use for this one.

We'll make it with love 🙄. I hate when orders say that. One of the cooks told me they used to get orders on tickets saying go kill yourself and stuff so I guess those messages aren't that bad, but they're still annoying. It's not cute.
WHAT??!!? How does one even put that on an "order ticket???"
Ok, I'd have the manager on duty (whoever's highest up) have a face to face talk with the customer. Bullying/suicide crap is unacceptable.
Btw do you work at _________? Or in the past at least? I've never eaten there.

I work at a restaurant that *redacted* (cause I'm scared of internet spiders)

Speaking of quarantine. The nursing home where some of my hospice "patients" live was quarantined because a whole section had the flu. A lot of you probably already know, but it's very hard to breathe in a mask.
This sweater sounds amazing 😍
I was joking. But I also wouldn't want people popping in at my work especially not internet
Nice sweater cubs. It's hilarious. 🙂
Assuming you know me well and my deep penchant for privacy and anti-stalking, you know I would never, ever advocate dropping in randomly on complete strangers. I'm going through a lot right now, so I presume that affects how I read people, at least subconsciously.
I don't think you're a stalker or anything I just don't like my life to mix. I like when my work life is separate from everthing else. It's super awkward for me when I work the same place as family members or people who know me.
I'm like that weird person who gets uncomfortable when their food touch. Only it's different parts of my life.
Sameits ok. I spend way more time in prevet forums than on med side these days
That's smart actually and definitely a best practice. It's called "security by compartmentalization" or "security by isolation," and it's something I started doing some years back. Just realized you joined in 2017 so there's a ton of SDN hx you missed out on that I can't go into detail because it's pre-vet.
Btw:
Even if you trust most random Pre-Vet regulars as well as lurkers, since most of the SDN forums don't require an account, pretty soon Google's spiders and other spiders (like the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine) will read your post and forever save it, making your work history attached to "Ms Procrastinator" on SDN, making it exponentially easier to narrow down who you are and where you work[ed]. I redacted your post in case you want to later take it out before it gets cast in Internet cement. 🙂
(I've had old SDN posts show up on Page 1 of Google and even copied to other medical websites (wtf?) and was pretty shocked.)
spiders can be scary
although speaking of spiders, there's a spider thread here somewhere:

I hope that sunburn feels better soon, @cubsrule4e. I swear by Noxzema for that.
I'm a history major (and nosy). You can't just bring up stuff like this and then say "Oh, I won't go into detail".

RIP your skin cells. Hope that heals up fast, looks like it hurts a ton.
You know which doctors don't have this problem? Dermatologists.
Eh...its not that bad today. I have pretty decent complexion and tan well, good melanin genes maybe!
Try aloe vera. I heard that works. From what I've heard from dermatologist, you might also want to try a different brand of sunscreen, a higher spf, or actually using one. Also try using an umbrella, long sweaters and puffy hats. Better yet don't go outside. The sun is trying to kill us all!!!!!
Bad derm joke.
lol i work inside all day, mostly in the dimness. I actually had a 3/4 sleeve on, just didnt even think about sunscreen on my neck. Also was only expecting to watch one of my godsons soccer games, not two.
Pro tip from someone who sunburns like a lobster:
Cold showers, NSAIDs, and a benadryl.
I don't typically bother much with aloe anymore. Waste of $
