Kevin i had one in a box trap one time and it was being really mean instead of playing possum. It was because it had babies in it's pouch. Usually they do play possum. My dog has picked them up and shook them and they never moved. 5 minutes later, off they go.

Had to go to the store today and I hate going on weekends. On the bright I got to see this on the way home.
2-3 times a year I see them and it’s always a treat.

 

[DrJenner]

Gonna rant.
Ar 9:30 at night, my wife is on he way home from her shift that was supposed to end at 5. She never leaves before 6. She will probably make 4 phone calls on her weekend and a couple off call in fees.
She gets abused by clients, abused by referring RFDVMs that don’t have a clue.
I make a comfort dinner like Mac and Cheese to try to make it better,
i do take it easy on first responders like DrJand Kevin, they have just a tough job.
This is why I. Do respect medical people that post here

Thank you. I hope your wife got the weekend off.
What is a RFDVM? I'm guessing doctor of veterinary med, but I am not sure what RF stands for.

Had the third booster on Thursday. Felt achy and blah Friday and still some today but am better. Hopefully tomorrow will be done with this. Anyways, am pretty solidly protected from worrying about the damned virus for about a year more at least.

Hope you are right.

With the cooler weather we have been experiencing, I have been seeing the deer out on my way to work. Have to watch out so I don't hit. A few years ago, I had a deer run right along side of ny car before veering off.

I transferred a patient out to a hospitalist that I consulted on for an interventional cardiologist today.
The lady had a procedure in the cath lab -- came in as an outpatient for this cardiologist and he called me in a panic when she had a complication.
Then they asked me to transfer her, write the orders and tell the hospitalist to assume care.
I signed her out to the hospitalist, made sure the correct orders were in and the hospitalist didn't want to assume care, just wanted to consult (rightfully so). Cardiologist was upset with me. Told him to take a hike, it's his patient.
This is literally the kind of crap we deal with in addition to all the other drama.
I can't stand the prima donna attitude. No sense of ownership at all.

referring docs can be jerks

Because of drought I have seen more deer on the property than I have the past 3 years. Even caught them drinking out of the horse troughs.
Elk were running rampant up here when I was evacuated according to a Sherrif that was here and helping me get the horses watered.

As an IM specialist, my wife deals with prima donna attitudes daily from GPs daily. Some of them think they can do what my wife does with 30yrs experience and more specialized training.
Her last boss, called her on of the top US specialists around. My wife said she was just blowing smoke. Until someone from UofW wanted her input on a text book.
I have watched her snare corn cobs out with a scope. She finally gave up after 5 and saw 10 more, and decided surgery ways better. Atari skills do transfer In her case.

 

[DrHenley]

No, me and prima donnas are like oil and water.

 

[ShadowWolf 13]

[DrHenley]

we saw some elk droppings on our new property. Pretty abundant up this way though. I can't recall ever seeing one when I lived in CA

 

[Acdoctor]

I took pictures. I'll post them in the forum.

Just wait till you catch a skunk then you will earn your cow boy badge. Lol
happened to me last winter and was no fun at all.

Good luck Dr Henley, hope you fill your tags.

 

[DrHenley]

Thanks, it's been three years since I killed a deer. Mainly because of knee and spinal issues that I now have under control.

There is the Tule reserve on the 5. Some where transplanted to San Louis Reservoir Area. A herd broke off and came 50 miles north to my area. That herd has kept a large quarry at bay from mining a ridge near me for basalt. Just gotta last til 2030 when their permit runs out.

Got a 55"x32" point type fresnel lense from grandpas old projection tv. Wondering what I should melt first

I think I started with a possum, then coon, then skunk.
If he thinks that possum was nasty, wait til he gets a fox.

 

[Wiredog8]

Possums are good eating. Cook em over a fire so the grease drips out. Use some good seasoning rub.
