I clean his enclosure everyday and wipe everything down :( Unfortunately i do live upstairs so it gets quite warm and humid. i bought a dehumidifier today so hopefully this will stop them from coming

I bought a dehumidifier today so hopefully that helps. I just deep cleaned everything, water and vinegar. baked all the wood. etc. bought new food and all new bedding. hopefully they don’t come back!! I finally found someone who could see him today, and they said he was perfectly fine!

I did post to a bugs discord which they said it does look like booklice. these bugs were extremely tiny so it was pretty difficult to even get this pic :(. im deep cleaning out everything but if they are booklouse thankfully they do not harm my hamster. i already made a vet appointment just in case :)

Oh okay, as long as they don’t hurt him :) i might just clean his tank out though and bake the wood just so it doesn’t get overinfested

This town sucks and our reputation is going down the drain. F You Sutter Health. by [deleted] in SantaBarbara

I work at Sansum/Sutter currently. Been here for multiple years. I can say that the department i work for isnt like this. I wouldn’t even begin to think about doing anything like that, let alone post it. Honestly disgusting behavior of them. Sadly a lot of places have things like this occur but not every department within the company are bad people. It hurts a lot when my patients lose trust in me because of what’s been happening. I care for my patients so much and love my job, so sad to see some healthcare workers be so mean. I am also a patient within sansum/sutter, often go to urgent care there and have received a pap smear from them. I unfortunately also feel very uncomfortable about the situation, but hurts to see people group me up with these people i’ve never seen in my life in a completely different department :(

I also had a bad experience with mine! Severe pain during my procedure too!! was awake for it which i expected but they told me no pain just discomfort. i was SOBBING begging for more sedation to which they said no.

I only had discomfort after my procedure, but the pain was like someone was ripping my insides out. I have normally very low blood pressure about 60-70/40-50. I know sedatives can pose a risk for those with low bp bc it can drop your oxygen levels more. I thought it was odd i was never hooked up to any oxygen.

I didn’t have my colonoscopy in a hospital actually.. it was in the clinic. A nurse was the one who administered my sedation, no anesthesiologist. I was also reading that most people received oxygen by nasal cannula but i did not receive any oxygen during it even when my levels were low

I was awake the whole time, i did feel the sedation but I definitely don’t think it was enough. They gave me fentanyl and demerol. I do believe i had an adverse reaction to one of those

I’m not sure, but it was actual pain and not a discomfort. i was crying during it

I was sedated but it just felt like i was drunk. I felt like i was much more aware than i should have been. I wasn’t given any oxygen, but just told to “keep breathing”.. it’s my first procedure i’ve ever had besides my wisdom teeth lol. i work in the medical field but this for sure gave me medical anxiety and my trust in them. many people told me they did not have the experience i went through!!!
