  • I have only watched one cooking show recently and its Next Level Chef. And without my partner, I don’t think I would have been introduced at all.

    I have never watched Master Chef so I really can’t comment on that but there is definitely editing, production and cold food on Next Level Chef. The judges decide based on dishes and can take hours to deliberate (these decisions make or break peoples lives).

    What is still real is the dishes resulted, the cooking techniques, ingredients used, etc. I’m not a natural cook and ive found entertainment and new knowledge from it. Also per my partner, Top Chef is made up of very talented and real cooks that have been James Beard Award winners and such











  • I did!! I used to lay awake and struggle to fall asleep. I also used to be okay as a college student and gamer getting 4 hours of sleep.

    Thus, no more. I got a job I actively work 8+ hours and when I lay down now I KO within 5 mins and sometimes mid conversation with my husband.

    I of course want to leave you with more tangible things to try.

    Once, with my friends, we went to a spa with a salt room. Best nap I have ever had in my life. I was then inspired to improve my quality of sleep and these worked for me:

    • Sleep face mask (I dont know if weight makes a difference?. Mine is unweighted)
    • Weighted blanket. Make sure to look up the math on your size and weight needed
    • Quality bed. (Nolah)
    • Quality pillow (Coops Home Goods Pillow)
    • If all else fails, reading in bed puts me to sleep.

    I swear I’m an adult but my friends and I also have adult sleep overs lol. I have found some use white noise machine, ear plugs are among some things I haven’t tried but works for them.

    Good luck on your sleep journey!







  • Of course. From the practices I’ve seen and learned from national conferences its never 100% AI. There’s still a nurse that is reviewing and a physician as well when needed.

    Also not sure about Milliman, but for the InterQual Autoreview the accuracy is there. Its been out and in use since 2018. If it wasnt all the UM nurses would be griping. They are not people that are afraid of advocating for themselves. No way they’re not reviewing/auditing unless they want their license to be at risk. It’s more like an advanced algorithm that pulls from the epic EHR system. Labs values, icd 10 codes, iv antibiotics, vitals are some examples of things i would imagine it can pull with high reliability. Normally 1 day retrospective but to your point, if something is missing, can notify the attending Dr. Utilization review team is looking back at charts retrospectively and sending interventions and findings to insurance to get patients covered. And if something is missing, they will let the drs know and the Dr can ensure they add the nebulizer or whatever patient was missing going forward.

    The charting documentation is a different thing.

    Re: Her job. Sucks. There will be less nurses needed to do the same amount of work with technology. All of us knew this. I think the best thing to do as a UM nurse is continue what they’re doing, be a high performer and keep up. If you don’t keep up, 100% you’re going to go first. The quotas sucked while I was working in this position. I kept up. But mostly didn’t stay as it wasn’t for me. Felt very monotonous and missing direct patient interaction. Def important but unfortunate position needed as result of our dysfunctional healthcare system. Its bittersweet.
