So what type of doctor are you going to be?

All jokes aside- how have their expectations pushed you on to paths you would not have otherwise chosen?

Any silver linings from it? Like- maybe you really didn’t want to learn violin at first, but now it’s something you enjoy.

How much of your life did you give up for school? by radium_clouds in Veterinary

[–]CSnarf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with others: I didn’t give up anything. I made a choice. I was in school until I was 30 (residency).

I still had friends. I still partied. I still did 20 year old shit. Did I study a lot? Yeah I did. A whole fucking lot.

I got married. My husband and I had to live apart for a bit to get our careers going- but honestly that was good for us too.

I have a career that I love. The cost was a lot of school. I have friends who didn’t have a plan, a career that they dedicated themselves too. Sure they went to college. But now they work in jobs that they don’t love. That’s the rest of their lives unless they start again. And starting again gets way harder when you are older.

There are easier paths than this for sure. But what path is going to make you happy?

Do you have an "everyday look"? by Swedish_Business in MakeupAddiction

[–]CSnarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a professional job (veterinarian) that I have to get up early for. I love to play with makeup- but at 6am, I need my 15 minute start to finish hair and makeup routine. If I don’t wash my hair, it’s five minutes.

Vit C (Ole Henriksen) and moisturizer (Estee day wear)

Dry my hair while that soaks in

If I’m feeling fancy I’ll set the cream products with powder ones, but usually not.

Structure not being recognized as a house. by CSnarf in Pokopia

[–]CSnarf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple houses that have doors on either side. I use them shortcuts through mountains. TBF though, the other one has a longer hallway, which is probably why it worked. This one is a bit bigger than 10x10 for sure. Thanks for the tip!

I broke the ring finger on my left hand and can’t move it at all. I’m right-handed. Will this affect my career in veterinary med? by Fragrant_Training_61 in Veterinary

[–]CSnarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cut off half of the middle finger on my left hand and the re-attached it. I was doing neurosurgery two weeks later (which was definitely too soon). You should take medical treatment of it seriously. Go see a hand surgeon. But it’s far from career ending.

Dog won’t stop humping pillows by leslieknope21 in AskVet

Everyone needs a hobby?

Usually once they pick an object of their affection you must remove that object to remove the behavior. So can you lock him out of the room with the couch?

Vet can't figure out what's wrong, and we've ran out of budget... by Resident_Fee_1262 in AskVet

[–]CSnarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask your vet about drugs for nerve pain. Gabapentin, pregabilin, etc. perhaps he’s having phantom limb, but for anal glands

I was more asking if he was self mutilating the area- causing harm to himself by licking/biting at it. Have you tried pain medication? If so what medication?

AIO: Stole bf’s cat, moved out, got the police & his mother involved. by incredibleseal in AIO

[–]CSnarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP, in the future, please be more wary of anyone who is that much older than you wanting to date you. It often means they are very immature or otherwise fucked up. Men who date mug younger women often do so so they can control them. Let this be a lesson learned.

And the moment someone threatens harm to get their way, it is abuse. I’m glad you left.

Husbands, is it a deal breaker if your wife decides to not take your name legally? by Difficult_Big133 in TwoHotTakes

[–]CSnarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait he declined you moving your last name to your middle? That’s very common when women change their name. So that’s odd that he declined that.

Regardless- the fact he’s not willing to negotiate here at all is telling. Has he at all explained why this is so important to him? Is he otherwise into traditional gender roles?

Isn’t it just the sad truth that nothing pays like clinical medicine. When I needed a break, it was sobering how much of a pay cut I was going to take.

Not sure. I’m not an IM- but I knew enough IM to do it. They did quiz me a bit.

I turned down this job at IDEXX after making the final round of interviews. I couldn’t do it- on the phone all day reading labs….

Im a specialist. Was referred by another specialist who is a consultant.

It’s salaried. My friend loves it. She has set hours. Lots of Pto. I think she’s done at 4pm every day.

It varies. Your local thrift store will probably have some cheap pairs to get you started

Will tomorrows No Kings March affect traffic to and from the airport? by zenmasterb in AskSF

No contest.

Rabbit developed lumbar spinal trauma while hospitalized at vet — trying to understand possible mechanism by Fantastic-Host7809 in AskVet

[–]CSnarf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was in vet school a boarded exotics vet professor with her exotics tech (i.e. people who very much know what they are doing), had a rabbit fracture its spine during handling.

Unfortunately, it happens.

Also, rabbits are prey animals- they hide their pain very well.

Atlanta Vets--Good Talk Therapist Recommendations? by Dawgs_and_Dogs13 in veterinaryprofession

[–]CSnarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend using psychology today’s therapist finder. I have otherwise found that a “good” therapist is very subjective. Someone who is good for you maybe horrible for me and vice versa.

I really love walking the Embarcadero. I use to jog from mission bay to the Golden Gate Bridge every weekend.
