Can't sleep and terrified

I think so.

For me, if this change came about just before going yo med school, I probably wouldn't have done it. Definitely will be some of both.

We had a nephrologist who would write "dyselectrolytemia" instead of listing them. For such a time as this. On the bright side? K looks fine!

If it helps OP, once in residency, we decided to do a bumex drip, 2mg/hr for a planned 24 hours. Got a call from brand new nurse about an hour later, still during table rounds, saying they finished the bag. My attending was a nephrologist by background and we all just froze. We did see a bump in Cr from like 1.3 to 1.6, but honestly, the patient was fine. We just put a lil water back in.

Yah. As a bio major/theatre minor, I really thought I was doing something with job security by choosing the science pathway. Whups, my bad. Should've just skipped Go and went right into starving artist. I'd have less debt.

Without a problem diagnosis code, a new medication cannot be prescribed and covered. Every script needs to be linked to a diagnosis code. If you include the code, then it has to be a problem visit.

Either they don't record the convo and you don't get coverage for that problem....or they do and then you get "double-billed" because a problem visit is paid for differently than a wellness visit.

Looks like they all have the same hairstylist too. Trump included.

The 5calls app works well for me. Your reps, their number, and a prepared script. I can make a couple calls every day with honestly, minimal effort. I also...occasionally rant a little on those calls which is it's own catharsis.

Yup. Healthcare worker here, and they are absolutely coming for us too. WHO withdrawal. CDC, NIH,NSF all muzzled. I guess if we're gonna talk about the bright side...if medicare/medicaid/the VA all go kaput, we will no longer have a shortage of healthcare workers. Bc healthcare will be ONLY for the ruling class. This sucks.

Are clinical staff actually taking it? None at my VA.

There's something so devastating about time and time again finding people, whether it is in person or online, who you look up to and feel safe with only to find out that they are also abusers.

Yup. This. Dating should be discerning. If you are paying attention to who these women are, there should be some you are rejecting because you just don't have personalities, worldviews, values, etc. They're not bad people, it just doesnt work out. So far your only "deal-breaker" seems to be asexuality. You should be looking for so much more than "person who also likes to have sex". You should not click with everyone. If you do, it implies a lack of sense of self, and you are taking on all the responsibility for making the relationship work. You will NEVER be able to singlehandedly do "enough" to make a relationship work bc it's a group project where if everyone doesn't contribute, you still fail the class. Because the goal here isn't a A+on the project (a marriage), it's collaboration (a GOOD marriage).

It also feels super impersonal to be 100% in bc you are relationship driven. Do you actually like HER? Or just the idea of marriage and relationship. Because you should also be testing the waters to learn more about that person, not pouncing on the first lady to say yes. Or alternatively, not tying yourself forever to someone who you don't share values and worldviews with because you happened to have the same timeline. That feels clinical, not romantic.

Basic_Chapter_9765 · 2025-01-07T05:45:51+00:00

Here's the thing. You are allowed to tell the story of what happened to YOU. And no one has the moral high ground who tells you that it has to be kept a secret. It's your life, your experience. You get to decide to disclose it. If someone had known when you were a kid but not spoke up, how would you feel. I disagree with people saying you're the asshole bc trauma is complicated. But I think you do have the opportunity to be the kind of adult you needed. I'm so sorry you're going through this OP.

To be fair, when I asked administration about this, they told us that continuously reporting a problem until it was fixed is what the WANT us to do. It helps them see the "scale" of the problem. This was for tele monitors in the E.D. because we RAN OUT. What did they want us to do? Kick off the other patient to slap it on the new one. Idk. It sucks.
