We have the IX500 but the menu you showed when it scanned doesn't look like ours - we are trying to find where we can scan multiple pages and it stays as one PDF, it used to do this but when there was an update it changed, now if I have a 2 page receipt it scans as two individual documents - where can I change this please?
Heya! I recently switched interest from animal care to human doctoral care! A few kinds have fit with my personality traits and interest: Emerge, Palliative, and Pediatrics. I can’t exactly decide which yet, but I know I truly want to help people with their injury and make sure they do okay! I’m not totally into the theories of puzzling pieces together, I like to know my stuff and treat how I methodically can!
Hey! I'm considering becoming an EM physician. However, I've been to some extent dissuaded from relatively recent news on the possible future excess of EM docs as a result of increasing residency programs and the impact of COVID on EDs throughout the country. Also, I've heard a lot about the encroachment of mid-level practitioners, especially in EM, taking away many of the responsibilities once held by physicians, and thus lowering demand for EM docs. How do you view all this and what do you think about the future of EM?
Thank youu so much for this doc!! Been contemplating what specialty to take after passing the licensure exam and now you brought into light and made it clear for me what path to take! This is such an eye opener and I’m so glad I found your video. I thought I was gonna take Fam Med but during my rotation I find it not fitting for me. Now, I know emergency medicine is the right fit for me. Thank you and God bless you more! Stay healthy and happy! 💕✨
When you use the safer opener, how do you get it to finish so smoothly. When I use one, the plastic tip hits the end of the envelope and stops dead before finishing the letter. I'm curious if you have some special technique that prevents that tip from hitting the end of the envelope.
Thank you for the video Vi! The new model of the iX500 is the iX1600. Here is a link to my review video on RU-vid: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Po4klbKyRVI.html It works very well! Cheers! 🙂
Do NOT go into emergency medicine. Underappreciated, disrespected by other specialties, and abused by increasingly entitled, belligerent, and hostile patients. CMGs like Envision, TeamHealth, and USACS have bought out entire swathes of the nation's hospitals to lower EM physicians' pay, replace them with cheap PAs, and pocket their hard-earned money as well as force them to work while COVID positive. They have suffered, gotten sick, and some of them have even died over the course of 2 years for a country of despicable, profoundly ignorant people who refuse to be vaccinated, wear masks, and cynically downplay EM physicians' experiences during this pandemic. If they have an emergency, they can ask Trump or the myPillow guy to place their blind femoral central lines, intubate their crashing neonates, or perform a thoracotomy for their gun shot wounds.
I’m so glad you mentioned the fellowship in sports medicine because I was trying to decide between EM and sports med but now finding out that I can do both is great!
It depends how you spin it. Make sure to spin it in a positive way and mention it on your personal statement when you apply to residency. Some residencies like peds, family med and less competitive IM programs don't really care, but it gets more difficult with more competitive specialities. Make sure to make connections in the speciality you want to get into, they'll be of great help
Thanks for the great video! I’m shocked it doesn’t have more views. I had both types of letter openers at home but didn’t know how to use them 😂 I thought you were supposed to use them to unglue the envelope flap but this makes much more sense 🤦
This is a great video. New subscriber here! I am an Emergency Department RN and in my first year of medical school. I miss being in the clinical setting and helping patients! I didn't know about those fellowships, so thank you!
Any advice for a music major interested in going to med school? I just can’t see myself trying to do music for a living anymore, especially after COVID. I was looking into Emergency Medicine or Pediatrics.
