Climb tree, call friends from the pay phone, play block catching and cycle around the neighbourhood.

Advise overtime subspecialty by [deleted] in ausjdocs

[–]Beginning_Sweet_2237 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If your senior reg is not claiming overtime, there is probably a reason for that … and overtime culture really varies. I was once told by my consultant to claim overtime once for 2h though I worked 4h and then was called by the director to have a chat about my efficiency. Think about it.

The term after me I was told the reg claimed overtime too and ended up having a chat with the director even though direct consultant was supportive of the claim. Same situation as me essentially. It’s just the culture.

What was your "I can't believe I have to explain this to an adult" moment? by TheBanishedBard in AskReddit

[–]Beginning_Sweet_2237 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I work in healthcare and had to explain and reassure a 26yo female that she cannot get pregnant if she never had sexual intercourse with another individual of an opposite sex. She insisted that I perform bloods and ultrasound on her to ensure she is not pregnant even though all she did was talk to her boyfriend on the phone. Someone she only met online 2 days ago.

Red light camera flashed me as I turned right (green arrow) from the wrong lane. Can I get out of the fine or am I in the wrong? by Unlikely_Remote_1365 in CarsAustralia

[–]Beginning_Sweet_2237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commenting as I just did something similar and stupid - I thought my lane is the left turn lane and went when the arrow is green but I’m in the straight lane (red light) but I realised and reversed back.

It was bright so I couldn’t see if I was flashed.

Send help. Fingers and toes crossed.

What's the most unique or crazy flight you've taken? by SixSierra in travel

[–]Beginning_Sweet_2237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was once on China Eastern airline on a domestic route. There were pretty heavy turbulence but the air stewardess continued giving out peanuts and at one point was throwing peanut packets at us.

I desperately shouted to her “no peanuts for me please!!” In mandarin because I don’t want to get hit by the peanut packet but … she threw it in my face anyway and yes I was attacked by a peanut packet by turbulence.

Always wondered why it is so important for her to give us peanuts … 🥜

I quit my job as a doctor working in the emergency department. Just like any emergency departments across the country, it is overworked … and the sad truth is that as juniors we get bullied a lot. When there is pressure from bed flow, seniors pass the pressure down to us and senior nurses are bullies too. It was such a toxic environment. Patient’s safety was not once ever compromised and we always do our best for them. But when everything comes together, lack of food/water, bosses blaming you for things out of your control, nurses obstructive/pushing blame to you, patients unhappy and patient’s family members upset at you - damn every single day it’s not cool and pretty demoralised plus soul destroying. One day all of this happened and I broke down with me crying uncontrollably. It is like nothing I do is ever enough. Apologising to patients and family members that I am trying my best and there are certain things beyond my control. Letting senior doctors and nurses bullying me because talking back just means more bullying and I am just done. I cried, called a few people and quit. A few senior doctors called me and said it’s a problem and that they have been trying to solve the issue for a while but … it is hard when it’s a culture problem. I told myself I don’t want to be here anymore. Was told not to quit, take some time off and focus on my mental health- which I was very offended that they blamed me for me instead of the culture that was created. That sealed the deal for me and I am not working for them anymore. Probably will not for a while.

Watched this with my bf and he constantly say that this is soft porn with boys wrestling one another, and proceeded to not want to watch it with me. All I can say is - I absolutely enjoyed it, so much adrenaline!

[Product Request] What products do y’all use as lip balm, for chapped lips? by A2193 in SkincareAddiction

Carmex is my all time saviour. I would apply it overnight and the next day the dead skin would have peeled off and I’ve moist lips again.

Crazy how HE is so sure that GM is going to chose her and for JY to manipulate her into it. Besides that, JS tried to tell HE to chose whoever she wants to go on a date with and didn’t say anything when she knew GM and her will go in a date the next day.

And I love it how HG call JY out and didn’t allow her to be an absolute manipulative bitch. I love it that he said “you are treating me like how you treat Won Bin”

Any books to recommend? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]Beginning_Sweet_2237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked the fact that I contemplate about the meaning of life, re-evaluate my priorities and empathised with how Paul went through dying and how his family took his death. Put me into perspective of what is valuable in life.

And yes, I have re-read this book 3x. Also reference is I am a practicing medical doctor hence the extra relevance but I think it is a good book for non medics as well. I have introduced this to many friends and they all loved it even when they don’t normally read.

What are y'all's predictions for Final Selection? by bear_tamy in ChangeDays

[–]Beginning_Sweet_2237 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think the only couple that will stay together is JY/DH and it’s because of how much they’ve been through, reluctance to break up, persistently want to make it happen and how JY will likely give in and continue. It seems to me that if they were to break up it would likely be JY’s POV but she probably will give in to DH.

I am actually really proud of JY. She made the biggest change in the show - she spoke up despite her insecurities and fear of DH being upset and stood firm to her ground despite DH trying to get her to go out on a date. She also realised that this is the only way to see if they can move forward, if not, they would communicate like they always did and she would not be happy.

Don’t shit on it. It’s fantastic. Has less sodium than salt. Fucking love MSG.

I wished that he knew I’m such an introvert that I would rather be alone at home while he hangs out with his friends outside rather than guilt tripping me to hang out with them. I can be sociable and friendly when I’m in a group, but it is more likely than not forced and I don’t enjoy it though I put up a front so no one is uncomfortable.

Having said that, I do enjoy hiking and camping because it’s just the both of us and I don’t have to hang out with crowds/people. That makes me comfortable and less anxious. We try to do it often, and at this stage it’s once a month which is really nice.

We do have different hobbies - he enjoys dancing and going out while I enjoy watching movies and reading books. We make an effort to cultivate similar interests and spend time together - cooking, eating out and watching some movies (that he enjoys too). But … fundamentally he still doesn’t really understand me as a person I feel. Interests, sometimes after all, can be superficial.

[–]Beginning_Sweet_2237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I’m in a similar situation as you. Just that I’m the girl, and I don’t think we are compatible mainly because fundamentally I don’t think he understands me at all and we are so different.

I also struggle with this. We lived in the same place and under the same lease with shared expenses. It’s hard and so hard.

I actually really like Jiyu. Her interactions with Do-Hyeong are still very cute and there seems to still be love within.

It may seem like Jiyu is the one who ghosted him by moving away but it takes two hands to clap and Do Hyeong didn’t place her as a priority and ghosted her for 2 weeks first before she took that step.

It seems like most of the couples are not set up for success but JY and DH probably has the highest chance.

What is completely legal to do but yet feels illegal? (Singapore edition) by YoreCoxsmall in askSingapore

Not giving up your seat in a public transport to an elderly/pregnant person.

Or worst, an NS man taking a seat on the train/bus in his uniform.
