Hearing stories from friends and family members in residencies around the country really opened my eyes to how brutal these programs are. If people knew how sleep deprived, overworked, and exhausted some of these people are on shift, they probably wouldn’t want them treating people.

Citation?

I had a full can of recycling out for pickup yesterday. The dude literally opened it, reached in, and grabbed a single paper bag of items to throw in the truck, left the other 80% sitting in the can and away they went. I guess at least my stuff didn’t blow all over the street like a lot of my neighbors did.

The 80 hour cap itself is relatively new; 20 years ago there were few if any guardrails.

+1 for this recommendation, especially if you’re a history fan. It’s such a scenic area and the town has a lot of cool stuff as well.

Antietam is also a short drive away which is one of the best-preserved Civil War battlefields.

At least they didn’t toss your bin back towards your house and put a nice little dent in the hood of your car. Lazy fucks.

I’m done trying. When I first moved here a decade ago it was okay. They usually came on time. Since covid I’m lucky if they show up period. When they do come, they do at best half the job while throwing shit everywhere. Its embarrassing to live on a street that looks like this and its not because of the residents but the fucking “sanitation” department. Trash gets picked up promptly by 6am but whatever clowns they have working recycling suck

Lol every week without fail, the men use my recycling bin lid as a frisbee and it ends up across the street or down the hill or under a parked car thirty feet away. Tempted to just let my recycling get wet from the rain or blown away with the wind.

Residents and many fellows participate in a process called the “match”. You interview for positions, put in your preferences and on a certain day the computer spits out where you will work. This means there are no opportunities to meaningfully compare or negotiate salary or benefits. And once you’re matched your choice is to either take the job or significantly derail your career after you’ve already spent 8 years studying (undergrads + med school).

This guy is on every Philly post and an ass in about 80% of the posts.

This person gets it

I've been ranting about recycling and trash on this sub for a while and have decided just to stop trying to recycle. This morning I even bagged my neighbors' wet Trader Joe's bags and put them out with by trash bc of the rain and wind and how tired I am of cleaning up my block every week bc of this asinine collection system we have here in Philly. It's absolutely not worth it anymore

Pre pandemic when I was slow at work we were asked to help throw out some old huge ass shit - like a conference room table, etc.

We took it down to the dump near 95. As we were emptying our van a recycling truck backed up and dumped its contents right into the same hole we were throwing our trash. 100% happened.

My wife works for a penn affiliate. It’s been pretty awful in my opinion so far.

She's pretty much a lock for the DCC endorsement. If you (rhetorically) want Rynehart or anyone else, plan now to volunteer for the campaign. They're going to need the help.

> The trades unified four years later, at first hoping to back City Council President Darrell Clarke for mayor until he declined to run. The trades then became one of three super PACs that spent more than $4 million to back Kenney in the 2015 primary.

They tried it. They did huge studies on it. It ended in way worse patient care and more deaths. Handoffs are the biggest risk to a patient and unfortunately these long shifts resulted in better care

I really like all the parks, playgrounds story hours, play groups, etc. in my area.

It’s a great way to meet other families.

When I’m visiting my MiL in the burbs, it’s kinda sad how we’re often one of the only ones at the neighborhood park.

(But, to violate the positivity thing…there’s a lot of stuff about this city that are also not terribly family friendly and I get why may of my friends with kids have left, although this varies tremendously by neighborhood.)

William Stewart Halsted developed a novel residency training program at Johns Hopkins Hospital that, with some modifications, became the model for surgical and medical residency training in North America.

Halsted was a known cocaine addict.

Best of luck!

We attempted to do that a couple weeks ago, and after we submitted and paid, they still sent us camera cards and mentioned we had to go in person. It has been a while since I have had my picture taken for an ID. im guessing they want a more current photo.

I was able to renew my license to real ID online. They had my stuff on file and sent it via mail. Super painless.
