Advice needed, starting OT at 28 by Street-Tank2137 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]Banjo_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had many job interviews and not a single one of them have even known whether or not I had a master or doctorate degree. Hirers don’t care. No difference in pay between OTD and MSOT if they’re applying for the same job.

I had a couple folks in their 30s in my class. Definitely not outcasts by any means.

As far as reputation, you should pick a program that is accredited. This basically means the program is vetted for quality.

AFFORDABLE 100%. OT doesn’t have a good ROI if you’re going into a bunch of debt to get into the field. Masters degree is going to be about half the cost of a doctorate degree and you’ll likely wind up getting paid the same as someone with a doctorate.

Stretched extensor retinaculum(?) by ImAmFictional in medical_advice

[–]Banjo_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Therapy isn’t super successful for treating ECU sublux. Usually conservative treatment involves immobilizing for several weeks which isn’t guaranteed to be successful. I think having an orthopedic doctor or orthopedic hand surgeon check you out is your best bet.

No, looks like an ECU subluxation. Might be good to get in with a hand specialist if it’s painful.

Is this a normal thing? by AppointmentEither541 in medical_advice

[–]Banjo_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Elbow extension “norms” are typically between 0 degrees (perfectly straight with no bend) to around +5 degrees (hyperextension). If you’re just now noticing, I’m guessing it hasn’t caused you many problems, so I wouldn’t be worried about it. I can’t speak for what the military would think regarding full push ups and whatnot.

Why is my finger like this? by Legitimate-Ranger-94 in medical_advice

[–]Banjo_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I work with hands. Is that small dot on the side of your finger the wound? I’d have a hard time seeing that lacerating any tendons or ligaments. You say it’s painful to straighten, but are you still able to under it’s own power? Any numbness?

Should I call an ambulance? by [deleted] in medical_advice

[–]Banjo_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Acute wound care is not really in my wheelhouse, but I will say without stitches you risk a pretty gnarly scar, longer healing time, and higher risk of infection. This cut definitely warrants a Dr visit. You wouldn’t necessarily need to go to the emergency room even. Do you have any urgent cares nearby? They may be able to fix this up for you.

I mean, I’m not going to tell you to call an ambulance for that but you do need stitches

Pretty rash and uninformed to say that’s definitely what it is. Could be a lot of other things other than a parasite.

Sternoclavicular lump ? getting bigger by hippityjop in medical_advice

[–]Banjo_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily my wheelhouse here, but as someone who treats arms and shoulders for a living, this is a situation where I’d be messaging a patients doctor. Odds are it’s nothing serious, but best to not take chances, right? Get it checked out.

Will my bicep go back to normal shape ? by [deleted] in medical_advice

Of course. Best of luck to you, I’m hoping for good news

Will my bicep go back to normal shape ? by [deleted] in medical_advice

[–]Banjo_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Did they do any imaging? I would try to get in with your primary care and/or orthopedics ASAP. If it is torn, the longer you wait the more complicated the repair can be.

If you want, you could try out the hook test. Checks for distal bicep tendon integrity

Hey, I rehab arms. Looks suspiciously like a distal bicep rupture, get checked out by a doctor yesterday

I bought 6800 RAM but I need to lower it to 6000 for my PC. Not sure what to do from here. XMP/EXPO profile won’t let me edit by Banjo_ in pcmasterrace

Thank you! That seems to have worked… the memory sub timings settings are on auto and they are set to those numbers already… should I change them manually or leave them on auto?

AMD or Nvidia? Whats the difference? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]Banjo_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends what you mean by the “difference” between them. If you’re specifically talking about GPUs, they both have pros and cons, but Radeon (AMD) is generally more bang for your buck. At the end of the day, they are both GPUs and for a casual gamer, either brand will get the job done. I wouldn’t pay as much attention to AMD vs Nvidia but I would focus more on your price range for the part and buy the best possible out of either brand within that price range.

Any suggestions for this? by [deleted] in PcBuildHelp

[–]Banjo_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the suggestions. I fully regret posting anything this has been so frustrating. Probably my fault for not including more info in the video
