WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

[libra89]

So my work issues with the workstation have been put to an end because they found a solution! They have a longer cord to connect to the port outside of my office so I'm back in my space with internet and I can really do everything I need to do for work. Two weeks and a day later and we are good to go.

Podcasts are back to being optional, rather than required.

Here is a recording someone made yesterday on the same trail as I was. The total time matches pretty close to mine in terms of hiking time.

US medicine really sucks at times. That's all.

I'm on a stretch filled with a lot of...staleness. It's very unhealthy.

Driving through a part of town that was hit hard by Andrew revealed the ingenuity of My People. I swear to God if Gilligan was Cuban he would’ve been off that island in no time.

This is funny...

This so reminds me photos I saw of the king-tide flooding in Bangkok several years back. People litterally putting their cars, electrical appliance in huge plastic bags.

Mr. Clue, I love and respect the Cuban ingenuity. I will say that if Gilligan were Jamaican, he would have chosen to stay on the island and turn it into a tourist destination to earn a profit.

Monday is here. And I an slightly sore from the adventure yesterday.

The view from the top

That's a beautiful view.

I still have a few hit and miss.

Lighting was playing havoc with most of pictures.

I'd love to see what you could do with a Samsung/Huawei/LG device in manual mode. Not putting Pixel or iPhone here because their manual modes don't count/non existent.

I need to play around with the manual mode on the X1. All those shots were auto. I'm just a bit lazy at the moment...

To give an idea of the issues I had this weekend. Two similar pictures, different lighting.

No editing on either.

If you're in Paris and want good pictures you need to get up early before the crowds. Otherwise you get this and this is pretty good. I've seen it a lot worse.

LOL! It is great. She has a point though, it was petty that the only mention missing was her.

I'm sure Rue and Mr. Clue would appreciate an orange sweater with that hash tag in black lettering for Xmas this year...

I say this because I've got mixed feelings as to the direction primary care has evolved in.

I say this because I've got mixed feelings as to the direction primary care has evolved in.

So I had an acute medical issue that really flared up at work yesterday afternoon. I called my primary care for an appointment and the next available was for another 3 weeks (!). No surprises as he's stupidly busy and i forgot to mention this to him during a recent visit.

I took the day off today - privilege of still having PTO days - to go to urgent care. Had an excellent conversation with the urgent care doctor who verbally confirmed some things I was seeing while on the clock.

So I'm fortunate enough to live in a place with access to urgent care services. But it feels like primary care is now its own specialty in this model, where if people prefer having that doctor manage acute issues, it's damn hard to get a timely appointment.

This is why on the clock we often curse when our patients miss primary care appointments. I'm glad urgent care exists - it is a great intermezzo for filtering out acute issues and stepping them down to primary care follow up or up to going to the emergency room. And having care in the same system where my primary care can see today's visit via EMR is good. I just question how well providers are having conversations with patients on issues like these and how the system still doesn't accommodate as flexibly people who rather get acute issues addressed directly by primary care.

The new iPhones all have a green color, which I'm a fan of.

It looks good, but I'm curious to see if I like their green better than Sony's and Samsung's previous efforts.

I noticed that the iPhone 8 is now the cheap model. Interesting...
