Hey

@costplusdrugs
,
Kidney stones hurt (a lot) and are becoming more common (1 in 9 will have one). Potassium citrate is one of the most common ways to prevent stones but $$$. Any way you can help?

Am I the only one who still practices their surgical knot tying on random stuff around the house, like full garbage bags? Anyone tie other stuff? Pics to prove necessary

Tonight, my daughter asked me to sing her a song. I attempted to sing her a typical kids song. She disapproved. She said sing something cool. I sang her the theme song to the Fresh Prince of Belair. She loved it. Kids are funny

Successfully passed my 37th annual performance review with my wife this weekend. It was over adult beverages so I’m sure that helped.

Some people are normal and enjoy their weekend. Then there are people like me that melt ballistic gelatin to make US phantom models. Hope everyone is having a great weekend

Yes! Academic MDs, we have to make it better for the next generation.
This does not mean that it needs to be easy (medical training is not easy), but QoL matters. Burn out is real.
Kudos to

A cardinal rule of responsibility is to shield others from the suffering you endured.
Good parents refuse to dump their childhood baggage on their kids. Good leaders and coaches refuse to perpetuate abusive patterns.
You can choose to do right in the ways you've been wronged.
