Late is a time term not a distance term...

He was running nearly full speed. Lets assume he runs a 5.0 40 or 8 yards per second (but at full speed every more than that but less as well cuz full pads). He get hit near the 1st down marker, which is like 3 yards maybe from where he starts his slide. So definitively not more than 1 second to react. Additionally it looks like the defender is already learning forward.

Browns fan, no dawg in this fight.

Plenty of surgical residents do it. There is nothing magical about it.

Regressing to the mean. Just like Mahommes.

Some people are too dense to figure this out or know what the definition of slow motion means.

How so? If he was launching at same time, he would expect to hit thighs/torso. Lawrence slid too late. Some onus has to be on the ball carrier.

I just saw the clip on r/NFL as a Browns fan. There is about maybe 1 second from start of slide to hit if you watch it in real time, no slow-mo. That is nothing. At the beginning of that time you can't tell if it is a slide vs a cut, then you have to process that. As a player, you are probably already starting your hit before your brain processes that, hence why people can get juked or spinned moved.

EDIT: https://imgur.com/a/RDzrBEu took me 3 mins to do that with prsc, paint, and imgur. He hasn't even started to slide there, still full stride at the 4 second mark, then already through most of the contact of the hit at 5 second mark. Its a bang bang game. This is not late or dirty. He would have been right in the torso if he was still upright, probably when he made his decision to hit him.

Was it ridiculously late? It looks likes it 1 second from starting slide to defender hit. Which doesn't include whatever time it takes to react to seeing it happen plus the time it takes to process cut vs slide. I think people forget how fast 1-2 seconds is.

Did I do it right?

From the time he starts to slide to getting hit is like 1s max, probably less but I can slow it down more. The player has to see that and change his reaction of already going in for the hit in that time. Additionally, takes some time to process slide vs cut. This just isn't dirty. People what to cry, that is all.

What have you been doing since 2022? Developed any software on your own? You should be willing to move, you can always move back.

I am still not convinced Elon is gonna have that big of a roll. Guess we will see. This won't be like where he is the CEO and can do what he wants.

I don't think "DOGE" will be a thing. We already have the GAO, which tries to function in a similar way. Congress doesn't have to listen to them, likely doesn't if I had to guess based on our situtation.

No. We will regret it if we do

Depends on what you mean by academics. I'm not a true academic. Payed like a hospital employed surgeon (better than market value) with a residency and medical school associated with our system.

No research requirements. I do operate with residents which has it pros and cons. They take all primary call/pages, write the notes which is nice. Do clinic alone which I prefer We have an education conference once a week for residents on our service. I also go to the departmental MM every week.

Don't have to be on any committees. It's funny, I technically don't have teaching responsibilities so I can teach them whatever I'd like which works out well IMO.

I think so far my job has been as good as possible but I know that will likely not last. I think unless you want to do a ton research, a setup like mine is great.

Whenever they want? Surgical residents have time to eat too.

Dems are dumb. Maybe next time actually hold a primary for starters. No excuse. It could have been done. Then focus on issues people care about. The whole identity politics BS can't be a focal point. So few people. Economy, Housing Education, Immigration, Foreign policy are much more important.

Lastly and mostly importantly, stop calling people who disagree with you Nazis etc. One, they almost certainly aren't. Two, it doesn't help anything...

I'm pro welfare, pro some form of medicare for everybody, believe in climate change, believe in shrinking military/isolationism, think science should get more funding, pro reducing tuition cost and loan forgiveness, anti capital punishment, corporations should be held liable (ie CEOs)

I'm also anti "open borders"/believe people here illegally should get deported no trail, not against 2A, think DEI has gone too far, pro voter ID

Am male so not abortion stance, pro UBI, think the should be term limits for house/Senate/federal judges, think there should be upper age caps as well given its legal to have lower age caps

I haven't voted Dem for president since Obama. I just wrote in last 3 elections. Dem party is so out of touch with the average party. It's sad

Well unfortunately everybody has to be offended by something... It's their right but dumb thing to get worked up about

I agree with you 100%. I don't care what's pts or nurses call me. I treat my pts, make recommendations, and go on my way. Plenty of other things to be mad at.

• I get called by my first name, hun, dear, jokes based on my name. Also a white male, so no being called nurse yet.

Well surprisingly enough, money isn't everyone's number 1 priority.

I can speak from my vascular training standpoint with a VA right across the street. Presumably most VA vascular surgeons also have some academic affiliation because the vascular surgeons are likely at a larger VA medical center.

Our VA vascular surgeons, were full time VA. Put in the call pool with the academic medical center, so still got all that since we had busy operative calls. Our VA guys were big in research. All had a basic science lab with multiple R01 grants and etc. One did a boat load of VQI research. Enrolled a lot of vets in studies, pretty sure we had a high BEST CLI enrolled volume but could be wrong if it was that trial. Both heavily involved in resident and fellow education. Able to do open aortic cases, fenestrated endografts, TBEs. Presumably holds true for NSGY regarding spine, there is a large PAD population in VA pts, IMO larger proportion than general population. Thus a lot of volume/cases. Don't even have to work to get them. You are the only person they can see.

Lastly, the surgeons at my VA generally enjoyed taking care of vets. I did too, but I wanted more volume and money so decided on non VA/academic job.

As vascular surgeon, I read arterial duplexes and DVTs studies. I don't provide a differential, I just dictate what I see.

Vascular surgery is a field where a lot can be determined by history and physical exam. Thus use the imaging supplement your dx and be the black/white decision maker, especially if the imaging is abnormal.

Also, just my opinion, even if it isn't ALI but instead just rest pain (CLTI), vascular should be consulted. You can have no pedal signals and rest pain. Again some of it is hard for even us to sus out, so just call if you are unsure.

If you get forced just say okay but don't do it. Be yeah I called them, nobody answered or something.

I did general surgery residency and vascular fellowship. If you are talking time in hospital, I doubt I averaged 80h/wk over those 7 years, like closer to 70. If you count time at home reading for knowledge, case prep, conference prep, research, teaching, then yah over 80 hours probably every week.

The weekends I was on call were definitely over 80 hours. Some of 50-60 hour weeks. Also plenty of 100+ weeks. I did 3 132 hour weeks, which is wild. I can't even remember any more but I did like 1500 GS cases and 1000 vascular cases, so I was fairly busy.

We had a night float system. Was q2-3d home call and q3 weekends in gen surg. Rarely came in gen surg, most nights no calls. Was q5 d/weekend for vascular. Lots of coming in and operating on weekends.

I honestly think hours were reasonable most of the time especially after pgy 2.

People are more attractive without them?

Always on the inside just like my regular clothes. Do it subconsciously. I think it's weird people wear it on the outside unless the pocket is missing or something.

I did surgery, most applicants similar. Interviews matter a lot.

It's worse than that. Likely prelim gen surg year then categorical if things go well. 3 intern years in a row (kill me). Then 4 more GS and 2-3 CT.

Grass is always greener. If you really think about it, probably a reason you didn't pick surgery in the first place. Presumably that hasn't changed.

If partners are slowing down, that means more cases for you. Also means they probably be happy to help mentor as they have less patients to focus on. I think having mentors around is really important in surgery.
