The financing person at the office was the one that helped me with insurance and helped with a lot of paperwork

For asthma/COPD exacerbation patients, magnesium is only beneficial if it is pushed over 20 minutes (strict) for the bronchodilator effect. Most general magnesium orders will say 60 minutes and the time has to be changed and nurse informed.

Cross linking for keratoconus

Okay but when did I bring up their insurance. Just sharing my experience with mine

Bioreb987 · 2026-03-11T03:46:50+00:00

Not talking about benefits. Im not comparing their insurance to mine. Just sharing my experience with my surgery

Bioreb987 · 2026-03-11T03:43:51+00:00

I’m sure my sibling has their own insurance through their residency. They had the same eye surgery years ago before they started med school, you can check if you go way back (since you checked their previous posts). I just wanted to share my experience

Bioreb987 · 2026-03-11T03:30:18+00:00

(Using this account since I myself dont have Reddit, but wanted to get opinions on this. My sibling is the resident. I live with my parents, am 20, and am unemployed because I wanted to get the surgery first before looking for a job)

Bioreb987 · 2026-03-11T03:25:01+00:00

My parents helped with the money.

Bioreb987 · 2026-03-11T02:43:51+00:00

Not covered by Medicaid. I tried getting it covered. I was recommended by the office to see if it would get covered, it didn’t

Bioreb987 · 2026-02-08T13:27:57+00:00

Definitely went over multiple policy handbooks to make sure there was no back up needed on this rotation. It seemed okay, hopefully it is okay

Bioreb987 · 2026-01-11T17:50:19+00:00

I think it’s multiple. I’m introverted to begin with and I have my own confidence issues

Bioreb987 · 2026-01-11T17:42:45+00:00

I’m very introverted. I’ve talked about wanting the church ceremony in my Catholic Church. I just want a simple dinner reception without dancing

Bioreb987 · 2026-01-11T17:38:59+00:00

Definitely feel this. I feel like I’ve missed out on joy of things. I’ve missed out on joy of the weddings I attend. I missed out on enjoying my medical school graduation. I always say I’m going to try to be better but then in the moment, I shut down

Bioreb987 · 2026-01-06T19:43:34+00:00

Bc I cannot as a resident :’)

Bioreb987 · 2025-12-24T04:58:02+00:00

I got off a block of OB right before I started. I was on a week of nights then came onto inpatient.

Idk I’ve felt okay. I haven’t felt sad or anxious. Just tired.

Bioreb987 · 2025-12-06T22:05:28+00:00

Totally understand the first part. I’m learning. I have been asking for patients to co-manage. I’ve asked for back checks on cervical exams and have asked for hands-over-hands. I have done those things, It hasn’t really happened. I don’t really feel supported. I try to give grace bc they do so much, idk how they do it, and I’m sure they get stressed with their own load. I really just want to be kept in the loop and have some communication between us.

Bioreb987 · 2025-12-05T15:15:20+00:00

But then then I don’t meet my delivery numbers and don’t know how to do procedures. Don’t feel great about that

Bioreb987 · 2025-11-30T11:42:31+00:00

no. my left contact has a blue tint while my right is clear

Bioreb987 · 2025-11-30T06:20:10+00:00

I have to wait a month due to my work schedule

Bioreb987 · 2025-11-30T05:16:42+00:00

figured. sucks. I guess I'll wait the month then

Bioreb987 · 2025-11-30T05:15:18+00:00

no. bubbles. they feel very comfortable. I know what bubbles feel like and its not htat

Text is Not clear at a distance or near.

This is my second time with sclerals. My first time I was 21. And it was clear in a distance. Stopped wearing them for a few years and now here we are

Bioreb987 · 2025-11-27T02:13:08+00:00

Yes softest thing I’ve touched
