When a doctor wants a new job and applies at a different hospital or whatever, do they provide a resume? What goes on a doctors resume? "performed x-difficult-surgery n times with m% complication rate"? What sort of selling points are there in doctoring I only know my own field, where you can't just say 'I worked here for n years' you have to specify what your specific accomplishments are and how you benefitted the company. But medicine seems so random that 'had a cancer patient survive' may not have even been your accomplishment, right? A different patient would die despite all your best care bc of genes and poo poo Killingyouguy! fucked around with this message at 13:13 on Nov 10, 2022 |

Where you trained, under whom, board certs, and personal recommendation letters are a big part of it too. I'm sure it also varies by specialty so I'm hoping some actual doctors will come in here and give more answers

Doctors of all types will usually have a CV not just a resume. There will be a lot more detail including anything they've published and other notable works.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:Resume is the American word for what euros call a CV Actually in the US, usually in academia or other doctoral level jobs, CV means a very long resume with a bunch of details and a list of publications and stuff, whereas a resume is a short 1-2 pager just showing where you worked and basic accomplishments. Both terms are in use and mean different things. But yes adding to the confusion, I think in Europe, what we call a resume is called a CV.

If you've performed a bunch of surgeries but 80% of them are crippled from complications from your lovely technique could you hide that from the employer?

Killingyouguy! posted:Well the bolded part is really interesting to me. If you've performed a bunch of surgeries but 80% of them are crippled from complications from your lovely technique could you hide that from the employer? Complication doesn't mean that the surgeon screwed up specifically. A complication could mean that what was wrong with the patient was more severe than expected and when the surgery was performed there was more infection or a larger blockage or the cancer was spread further or whatever. More tissue had to be excised and as a result mobility post op is more limited than expected. Yes, that is a lot of doublespeak that could be used to cover a slip up, but it may not be the fault of anyone involved in the process. That being said, there are board reviews anytime anything goes wrong in an operation. A council of doctors reviews the process and will usually interview all the people involved to make sure that proper procedures were followed. If a surgeon has 80% of their patients end up crippled, they are likely not going to be employed long term at that hospital. But it's also not like anyone can just submit an application and there wouldn't be any follow up. "I performed 100 successful surgeries" invites further scrutiny. Hospital staff talk to each other, and if some surgeon (who isn't exclusively dealing with high risk operations) has 80% of their patients permanently negatively affected, that's going to be a poorly kept secret. Plus, at numbers like that, there are going to be a LOT of lawsuits against the hospital. You'd be lucky to have your current position, much less shopping yourself around. So, yes, while you as the applicant wouldn't advertise your personal complication rate, anyone looking into your records would be able to figure that out anyway.

Why does thinly sliced cheese taste stronger/better than thick slices? There’s lots of speculation online but no agreement, and the speculation doesn’t make a ton of sense, I did some small experiments to test: Temperature - thin cheese warms up faster than thick cheese. Warmer cheese does taste better than fresh out of the fridge, but I’ve let larger pieces sit out for 20 mins to warm up and it still isn’t as good as thin. Surface area - Thin cheese has more surface area so interacts more with oxygen or something. Except thin cheese doesn’t have more surface area, and the difference between the two is small. If you have a thin slice of a larger block vs a thick slice of a smaller block or vice versa, the thin slice always tastes better (assuming the same cheese). Flavor overload - Too much cheese in your mouth = more flavor = automatic reduction in taste bud sensitivity = less flavor. But if you take a small bite of a thick cheese, it’s still not as good as a thin slice even if the volume is similar. Granted, this is all anecdotal based on my own experiences, and my experiments weren’t double blinded or particularly exact, but if anyone’s done real research on it I haven’t found it. As a cheese lover, I really want to know. I suspect it’s related to the second one since grated cheese tastes better than even thinly sliced (for cheeses that support grating). Any ideas?

Weird question I kind of just want to poll you guys on. You know that song "Modern Love" by David Bowie? Okay, do you know it better as, or perhaps only as "Church On Time"? A decade ago a friend of mine thought the song was called that we it was a running joke with us, but the other night at a bar the song came on, and two different people thought the song was called Church On Time.

A half-liquid stanky-rear end goat cheese is gonna be delicious and overwhelming in any proportion. Good point, the stronger the cheese is the less this holds true. I finished off my testing today by having a pancetta (delicate flavor) + 5 yr aged cheddar thick chunk sandwich and noticed no difference with yesterday’s sandwich which was the same but thin sliced - all I could taste either time was the cheese. But it was really crumbly both times so maybe that had an impact too.

I knew it as Modern Love, cause that’s how it was listed on the CD my parents had growing up  That said, it’s not unheard of for people to not know the title of a song if it isn’t one of the lyrics or a prominent one. The best example that comes to mind is The Who’s Baba O’Reily being often just called Teenage Wasteland, among various others.

I would say laminators are a solved problem and it probably doesn’t matter. There aren’t any hot lamination features on the horizon. I’d choose the one that accepts the cheapest of the lamination sleeves.

There’s lots of speculation online but no agreement, and the speculation doesn’t make a ton of sense, I did some small experiments to test: To throw more speculation in: thinner slices are going to be more flexible, which allows them to touch more of your tongue at once, giving a stronger flavor signal. As you note, this doesn't really apply to gooey cheeses, which are already flexible.

More surface area is also part of the reason deli meat is sliced thin AFAIK. If you're gonna put 5 slices of pastrami on a sandwich you end up with more flavor from 5 thin slices instead of one cut-5x-as-thick chunk

SubG from goons with spoons can probably step in here and give you a sixteen-paragraph answer but I BELIEVE in short that the flavor of most cheeses has to do with crystallization of flavorful compounds You eat a thin slice of x, you get more flavor clustering and less filler You eat a big chunk, there's more filler to flavor This is why stuff like parmigiano-reggiano is so prized, because the whole thing is all crystallized flavor I am not a food scientist and he is, so whatever

Higher qualifications, research, publications and presentations, courses attended, annual apprisal with evidence of CPD. I also provide a log book of the number of investigations and procedures I have done. Having been in specific positions within department is usually very helpful, one of the reasons I got my current job was vecause I had been director before in a smaller unit and the new director wanted some support. If you are newly out of training you will have more details regarding your experience from ARCP which is an annual trainee appraisal. Nowadays I just say I do x thousand MRI and CTs per year. I also provide a personal statement. Little things like hobbies are still included. All of this pertains to the UK where consultant surgeon complication rates are openly published on an individual bases.

And that would also explain why the effect is diminished/non-existent with older cheeses, since the aging process could produce more of the crystallized structures.

TV Zombie posted:I want to buy a laminator. Any suggestions? Also should I wait for a better model or is it okay to buy one now? Depends on what you want to use the laminator for. Basic 9-inch hot roller 3-5mm sleeve laminators are c. $30 and will work for waterproofing paper or thin cardstock up to US letter size (basically classroom use). The price difference for something with a recognizable brand name (Scotch, Fellowes, Amazon Basics, 3M), or if you find a cheap brand at any store that has enough money to be sued, is probably worth it to avoid something that will inadvertently burn the house down. The used laminator market index is dropping back to around 125 as supply catches up, but if you can find a new laminator with the features you want at a dealer at a price you can afford without any bullshit dealer market surcharges, grab it before someone else does.
