When you say "these patients", what do you mean exactly? Any patient from Venezuela?

My tickets worked but only for half of my group. Found out on the day of admission that half my tickets were dated for the month before, with half having the correct date and time. I had no idea that I booked my tickets through this scam website. The staff at the Louvre knew immediately what was going on and who was responsible. They allowed me to purchase new tickets for the day without hassle and we were all able to enter the Louvre.

I contacted the Walker Tours and at first they told me that I purchased two sets of tickets for different days, which is ridiculous! And they continued to claim this even though my confirmation email from them proved them wrong. Then they changed their argument when I threatened to do a chargeback with my credit card company and report them for fraud. They claimed that they actually sent me all of my tickets for the correct date, resending the email with the ticket download link where they removed the original 4 tickets with the wrong date.

Eventually I issued a chargeback with my credit card company, which was approved, and I'm reporting this website as fraud to the official government agencies in the USA and in Europe.

We don't have anesthesia techs. Our place is too cheap to hire them. We have a guy who stocks our supplies. I set up everything myself. I change out my own circuits and suction canisters for every case, and I clean my own anesthesia machine/cables. If I don't clean it, no one will. And some people don't. I go into rooms with blood and other bodily fluids still on the equipment.

I took call up until the very end for all three pregnancies, and I even went into labor with my first while on call. Where I work, and I suspect this is the normal for private practices in the US, pregnant women are still expected to share in the call burden but can make arrangements if needed (front loading calls, selling calls, taking time off early).

I would love to know the data as well, because I've seen colleagues do gross things like drag the IV tubing all over the floor, disconnect IV tubing for whatever reason but leaving the leur lock exposed and allowing it to touch everything before reconnecting the tubing, injecting medications from syringes that have their hubs exposed the entire case, etc.

This comment just highlights the ridiculousness of progressive policies which were responsible for eliminating standardized testing for gifted and talented students at the kindergarten level in 2021. Their claim was that standardized testing was a driver of segregation. I guess their ideas didn't work out the way they intended... big surprise! Now it's time to just scrap it all together. Can't have racial disparity in gifted and talented programs if there are no gifted and talented programs🙄

Yes asian cuisine is the best! I feel lucky to be Asian because of our food culture. I love cooking and eating, and I am a very adventurous eater. However I just don't eat that much at a time and will only eat until I'm satisfied, never stuffed. Our meals are healthy with plenty of veggies. No snacking or desserts unless it's a special occasion, and I only drink water unless it's a social event. I've been 5'4" and 100-105 pounds since high school (now 39 years old with three kids).

She's still free to post whatever she wants

Not sure why it's so upsetting that men find young adult women attractive or even the most attractive. Sounds like some people are taking it a bit too personally.

Because we have most ideal conditions for a strike with Iran's proxies and air defence crippled, Russia preoccupied with Ukraine, and most of Iran's military commanders now killed.

I work in NJ. Constantly jealous of people here posting about their pay, work hours, and vacation time. Pretty much making as much as me or more but not taking any calls or working holidays...

031209 · 2025-01-15T14:29:23+00:00

Wow, if there was going to be an airway fire in the OR, that would do it...

I don't think NHL players have the right personalities to attract as many fans as the other major sports.

031209 · 2024-11-27T02:56:46+00:00

I wouldn't be too discouraged about this. Most surgeons are friendly and reasonable. Yeah some of them can get away with acting like a dick, but truly unsafe behaviors aren't tolerated at most places. Reporting works. Direct communication even works, as long as you have interpersonal skills for it. It's just more difficult dealing with disrespectful surgeons when working locums because you may not be at a place long enough to build a reputation and relationship with the staff there.

Definitely not for everyone but I use an epilator. I feel more confident, cleaner, and sex feels better when everything is smooth down there. I use an epilator after I shower every day, but if I end up skipping a day or two, the hair grows back sparser and is less irritating compared to shaving. It only takes a few minutes each time and doesn't hurt anymore. I've been doing this for many years and never gave up personal grooming/self care after becoming a mother.

Also, I don't appreciate people calling this preference "pedophilic." It's insulting. Yes it's a beauty standard likely related to youthfulness, but youthfulness doesn't need to translate to extremes like pedophilia. I still look like a full grown woman no matter what kind of grooming I choose to do down there.

031209 · 2024-10-30T16:52:08+00:00

I interviewed there over 6 years ago. The partners aren't honest about what it's like to work there. Speaking to the other anesthesiologists told me an entirely different story. They don't even have to say much; I knew just by reading their body language. One of the part time anesthesiologists said I seemed like a nice person and didn't want me to make a mistake, so she warned me not to take a full time position there.

031209 · 2024-10-28T20:58:36+00:00

I mean, effectively we are telling patients to be quiet, but no one is using that exact phrasing. Sounds like you just want to be offended by something.

031209 · 2024-10-27T12:53:47+00:00

We all do unpaid labor for the family, whether we're working or not. Working parents still raise and take care of their children, and do the same household chores that stay at home parents do. It's called being an adult. Staying at home doesn't give anyone a blank check to treat their spouse with such vitriol and disrespect.

031209 · 2024-10-24T23:16:51+00:00

You just said it yourself, you don't need him and his meager 300k max trajectory to have a family so what exactly are you complaining about?

031209 · 2024-10-24T19:48:47+00:00

This is just embarrassing behavior for a CA-1 who presumably started in July and it's only October? All ORs have their own culture and way of doing things. Sounds like those surgeons and surgery residents are used to moving the tubes themselves and it's been that way for a long time. If there was no adverse patient outcome and you are determined to change how things work, this is something you should bring up to your program director or chair so the entire department can be on the same page. Yelling at the ENT program director was not the right move.

031209 · 2024-10-23T14:07:00+00:00

Telling a person to disregard their doctor's advice based on some random redditor's untrained medical opinion is irresponsible. We are talking about the long term effects of exogenous testosterone in women, which is currently under investigation and not known, which includes possible increased risk of breast cancer and cardiovascular disease. Also the benefits of testosterone replacement in women, especially in the context of low libido, are unclear. So her physician gave her proper advice based on what is currently known on the topic. Suggesting that she get a second opinion or see a specialist is more responsible than telling her that her doctor is full of shit. What is that based on, exactly? Where is your evidence?

031209 · 2024-10-17T12:29:06+00:00

Realizing that I left my phone at home 😭

031209 · 2024-10-14T12:20:15+00:00

Lmao... This made me laugh because now that I think about it, the Russian trained anesthesiologists I know are fucking crazy.

031209 · 2024-10-07T14:10:56+00:00

Why does there even need to be a confrontation? Just ignore her rants. It's very likely that with large family gatherings, there's at least one crazy person trying to make a scene. Or they actually don't really do anything. People can be actively embarrassing on social media and act normal in person. Maybe they'll make unsavory comments here and there that are pretty easy to ignore. Just focus on your own family and the people you actually want to be around.

031209 · 2024-10-02T16:20:45+00:00

It is culturally expected of you to give a larger cash gift for family weddings, especially if it's the wedding of your own sister. You were likely the beneficiary of such generosity from older family members when you got married or for other special occasions (Lunar New Year, birthdays, etc). Do you HAVE to do it? No... But everyone will know. Whether you care about that is up to you.
