I find this stuff endlessly fascinating and will definitely read Haidt's new book. The research helps explain why we have such a strong "culture war" going on over issues like SSM, abortion, and capital punishment (to name just a few), and helps us understand why each side thinks the way they do. One idea that he puts forth is that our response to a moral issue comes mostly from our emotional disposition rather than logic. (i.e. our reasoning is only used to justify the emotional response.)

Anyway, here's my score for the sacredness survey (the first one on the yourmorals site):

Harm: 8.0
Fairness: 8.0
Ingroup: 8.0
Authority: 7.2
Purity: 8.0

I'm not quite sure what this says about me, but am curious what scores you all get (might be just as interesting as the Briggs-Myers results). ]]> Grand Rounds bobk http://www.medicalspouse.com/forums/showthread.php?45583-Moral-Psychology http://www.medicalspouse.com/forums/showthread.php?45581-Book-club&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 19:58:31 GMT I'm starting a book club with some friends to give us a reason to get out of the house and because it's always more fun reading a book when you have people to talk with about it...

He has 4 kids, and this would be a career change for him. When I spoke with him on the phone, he said he was interested in orthopaedics, but not surgery. He recently sent me a few questions, and I figured I'd tap into the brain-trust here for some answers. I also think this would be a good resource for people who come to our site :)

Here we go!

1.) What medical specialties would best allow me to spend time with and take care of my family? Worst?

2.) It seems like work conditions during medical residency are largely based on who you are working for. If so, what should I consider when searching for a medical residency. What steps can I take to make a good choice for my family?

3.) How possible would it be for me as a resident to have enough flexibility in my schedule to drop what I'm doing and go help my family with an immediate need?

4.) More restrictions have been placed on resident duty hours recently. How well do institutions follow duty hours guidelines? Do you expect duty hours to change in four years?

I caught up via phone the other night with a friend who is in her 2nd (almost 3rd) year of internal medicine residency at a large, well-known academic hospital. She said things were going well but she was annoyed about Easter.

Apparently, months in advance, she had asked for Easter off. Her DH, a neurosurgery resident, had also requested the day off and they looked forward to spending the day together and attending church. She's an observant Catholic and attends Mass pretty much every weekend. She was dismayed, however, when the schedule came out that she was not granted Easter off. She ultimately decided not to complain but she was especially unhappy because there are several Orthodox Jewish residents in her program who never work on Saturdays.

I was taken aback that a residency program was even able to accommodate the ability to not work ANY Saturdays. And I was sad for my friend that her one-time request to celebrate such a holy day was ignored when clearly the program respects these requests from others.

Then I thought, well I know Orthodox Jewish observants are not allowed to use technology during their Sabbath so that's an exception perhaps. But then I thought, why should anyone get a pass? Aren't there lots of residents who would like time off to practice their own religion, spend time with their families, etc.?

Because we have moved around a bit, I am the first to go over to a newcomer and welcome them.

I also tend not to sweat the small stuff. 9 years of the grind of residency makes the rest of life seem like the Rose Bowl parade in comparison. Sure, medicine has a dark seedy underbelly even as an attending, but it is night and day.

I am far more confident because I have gone off and lived by myself and raised children as a quasi single mom.

DH and I just got back from our house hunting trip in AZ and although we thought we were sure we wanted to rent instead of buy since his residency is only three years, I'm having some serious second thoughts. Because we are adamant about having a pool in the backyard for the kids, we found the rental houses with pools get snatched up VERY fast and command top dollar. I was hoping we would be able to negotiate rent because we are willing to sign a three year lease and have immaculate credit and no pets, but we found that's an uphill battle when the rental market is so tight. Competition is fierce for those pool properties! In the end, we found one that we were able to get 7.5% lower than asking price. It's an awesome house with everything we were looking for, but the rent is considerably more than I had hoped to pay. The house we just sold had a RIDICULOUSLY low mortgage (you couldn't get a 1 bedroom apt for what we were paying) and allowed us to have a decent lifestyle during med school. The rent on this house is three times what we were paying on our mortgage so perhaps my cold feet are just sticker shock.

I haven't talked to a mortgage broker yet, but it appears like we could buy a house with a pool in our desired neighborhood/school district for about $600 cheaper a month. This savings coupled with the low interest rates and what appears like a bottomed out market has me really tempted to buy instead of rent. Even if we needed to sell in three years and broke even, the monthly savings alone would make it worth it. Wouldn't it? Or if we decided to rent, I've seen firsthand how hot those pool rental homes are. I need to make a decision quickly because the landlord is waiting for us to Fedex the signed lease and we're supposed to be moving in 4-5 weeks. Ugh, this is all so late in the game for a change of plans! Am I nuts to change horses now? Or would it be financial stupidity to rent when we could buy for so much less?

Please someone help me make a decision.

FH's car is having transmission problems (we'll know more next week) and may not be worth the repairs. We don't live in a place with good public transport, but fortunately I work from a home office, so most days I don't have to go anywhere during the day. So on the surface of things, it seems like it might not be too hard. The one hitch I can think of is that occasionally I need to travel for work (like 3-4x per year), and I fly out of an airport about 2 hours away, usually at times when FH would be in class. Is there anything else I need to consider?

I'm thinking of going single car instead of buying another simply because we shouldn't spend the money. We're in the final stages of paying for a wedding, we both have a little left to pay off in undergrad loans, and we already have a monthly payment on my car... when he was about to start school we had 2 older cars and decided to trade one in while it was still worth something so we would have one reliable car. My income manages to pay all our bills and groceries (though not much extra), and his loans pay tuition (private med school), but we have also taken out some extra loans for living expenses, simply because when FH filled out the FAFSA for year 1 we'd never lived on one income before and hadn't even combined our accounts yet, and didn't know how it would work. Obviously we're trying to cut out the living loans from now on if at all possible.

So. That all said, I think we might go 1-car instead of paying for enormous repairs or a "new" car. Have any of you made this work?

DS went on a nursing strike due to an ear infection and hasn’t nursed in over a week.

Forgive my absence as I've just been enjoying and adjusting to life with Minnie. DH is also on vacation this week so he is finally getting some good time with her.

So I have a few questions, some which I think I know the answers to, others I have no clue. I'd appreciate any help.

1) DD is a screamer, and if I can get her to sleep with swaddling, shhing, swaying, and the paci I do... but sometimes I just can't handle the screaming (her voice is hoarse from screaming so much) and so sometimes I nurse just to console her or calm her enough to get her to sleep. I think this is okay as she isn't even a month old. Right?

2) I started pumping shortly after my milk came in to build up a supply. At first I was getting about 2.5 oz each time. Now I am only getting about 1-2 oz a time. This makes me worry that she isn't getting enough milk from me if I'm only getting that amount out with the pump. (As of now I just feed her on one side at a time, and if I pump I will pump the other side). I feel like I should be getting 2-4 oz out of a breast... but really I have no idea. I'm also afraid if I start nursing her on both sides at each feeding then I won't be able to build up a supply. DD also only nurses about 10 minutes, which is how long I usually pump as nothing comes out after 10 or so minutes).

3) We've given her a bottle twice this week in which she SUCKED down every drop. The one night we gave her 3 oz. at 8 p.m. She stayed awake until 10 p.m. and then slept until 5:30 in the morning. She normally is a good sleeper anyway. Feeds at about 9:30 and then again at 2:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. but it just has me wondering if she isn't getting as much milk as she'd like/need. During the day she usually feeds about every 2-3 hours but sometimes I've been feeding her as much as every hour (usually in the evenings).

4) I drink a good amount of water and eat oatmeal almost every day. I've started walking and light workouts again... could that have anything to do with my supply? Is it possible my supply is normal? Or should I be doing something to increase it?

5) DD has lots of wet and dirty diapers... and I do have a doctors appt this week so I'm hoping that will confirm that she is continuing to gain weight. But at about one month, how much milk should I be producing?

She has been an awesome sleeper since about two months...she would sleep from 10 pm to 5 am, wake up to "sleep eat" and then sleep with us until 7 or 8. Lately she has been really clingy, will freak out if I leave her alone in a room or walk away, and has been waking up more easily at night. The past week or so she will not sleep soundly unless she is held/sleeping with us. Doesn't seem too unusual from what I've heard though.

Last night we put her to bed and about an hour later she started screaming. J went I get her but he couldn't calm her down at all, normally all it takes is shushing and rocking and she is asleep or just wide awake and happy. This time she wouldn't wake up or open her eyes. The only thing that calmed her was nursing. She never really woke up. That's odd for her. J tried laying her down again and she immediately started screaming again, but didn't wake up. We tried a couple of times and as soon as we wasn't held she freaked even though she still looked like she was sleeping. Eventually she just ended up with us all night. I tried putting her down after she had been soundly sleeping with us for an hour and still no dice. She was fine this morning.

I guess none of this really sounds like night terrors except the initial waking reaction. She just has never done this before...it seemed really odd.

NO ONE at att will help me because "its a free email account and we have no authority to do anything with it."

Last night, DH spent 20 minutes telling me how wonderful iMSN is and how grateful he is to Kris for creating it. He feels that this forum has been so beneficial not only for me but for him and our children as we've gone through our residency. You all have been our friends, advisors, confidants, and cheerleaders through a continuing journey that can be overwhelming and lonely not to mention brutal for a marriage. The collective knowledge of this group is amazing and we are so grateful for your insight on everything from medical training, child-rearing, pet care, marriage matters, IL management, finances, sex, relocating, and why all my t-shirts have tiny holes in the bottom. Thank you! You all are fabulous.
