It looks a little salted (which mine is definitely), and my left mustache has gone white in the last month or so (a little bit more than it looks like in the pic). Jesus, I even wear the same white v necks under my scrubs

What eerie is that a doctor misused "no" instead if "know" and also didn't spell eerie right

I even right clicked eerie for suggestions and didn't see anything, whoops. No excuse on the 'know' though, I don't claim to be perfect. There are a ton of medical terms I don't know how to spell, so when writing them in a chart it looks scribbled but decipherable to those who would be reading it

No wonder doctors have bad handwriting!

Combine that with trying to write as fast as you can... yeah, the handwriting gets really bad, really quick.

The fact doctors still have to "write" in this day and age frustrates me every single day in my position.

Our "paperless" system is ridiculous. I have to fill out 4 forms for every patient to document different parameters being met. This is in addition to the actual anesthesia operative record, which includes all the information the other 4 forms are asking for. So redundant and frustrating

What hospital EHR system are you on?

It is maddening the amount of paper that is still required for clinicians at times and trying to decipher their hieroglyphics is insane.

Been using Paragon since I started, but we're currently transitioning to Cerner. Ugh. Would love to just skip right to Epic and call it a day, their OR-EMR integration is great

Their OR manager is fantastic and we have that for clinical and scheduling right now. Getting the full suite in 2 years.

Shel's boss

Tesla driver dies in a car accident while it was driven by auto pilot. The semi made an illegal left turn and the auto pilot couldn't sense the separation of the white of the semi to the white back drop of the sky at that time and never braked. He basically went under the trailer ripping through the top of the car and then through a couple fences and into a pole. Eek

In...Williston Florida.

Eerie part is he usually used a dash cam and credited auto pilot for saving I'm in a somewhat similar scenario.

RIP

Auto pilot honestly never appealed to me, I'd pay the extra for AWD instead all day

As awesome as auto pilot is in theory, the glitches would worry me too much to fully trust it

tens of thousands (if not more) of lives will be saved annually from driverless features in cars. computers aren't perfect and there will be glitches/hacks/malfunctions but the safety of automated driving will be a bazillion times better than allowing humans to drive like we do now.

the problems come when you're the aware/disciplined driver who gets stuck in the car with the glitch, what might have been good for the masses might have fucked you over. that part is tough pill to swallow... but in 40 years we'll look back on this period and realize how insane we are for driving metal bullets around 60 mph into each other when we have them driving 100mph with 1/100th of the incidents.

While texting, or putting on make up, or eating, or any number of things people do behind the wheel instead of fully paying attention.

Test drive day!!!
