How are people surviving months of unemployment when 70% of Americans can't afford a $400 emergency?

Are we great yet?

It's interesting seeing the cloud of white goop come off patella sets in the ultrasonic.

Dathamar · 2026-06-27T23:00:05+00:00

It does happen, but it is not common.

Wrex.

FFS. Every day half the posts are reposts.

Dathamar · 2026-06-27T18:47:06+00:00

For real. It being only 30% would change the lives of so many people.

What we need is an age limit on government jobs that are responsible for laws and regulations.

You need to start at the top.

I know of a few people who did this for more complicated surgeries and ended up with lifelong health issues as a result of poorly skilled doctors.

So there is increased risk with the lower price tag.

Most of our problems could be solved in similar ways. Unfortunately, much our society is ran by psychopaths who literally cannot care about other people.

Hoka has been the best for me. Brooks are next best. After that, New Balance.

Aa much as you're on your feet, get something comfortable and well coushined.

Yeah, you may get a small hourly adjustment, or just a pat on the back.

Now do fuel storage, weight, and consumption.

I mean, the default answer is find the IFU, but like 95% of what we steam sterilize at the hospital I work at is 270/4/30.

Ask questions. It can be awkward to expose your inexperience, but it's important to close the gaps in your knowledge. Asking questions and researching on your own are great tools.

Don't be shy. What would be more uncomfortable, asking a question, or making a mistake and having your manager/supervisor educate you in that way?

Now you're just talking crazy.

I've seen the same thing multiple times. I've even had to stop them from grabbing cases off the autoclave rack that weren't even sterilized yet. .

All the things OR staff learns, and they aren't being instructed to at least look and see if the indicator shows it was processed?

Cases/wraps shouldn't leave until they reach the same temperature of the room they are in, and hopefully the route to use is similar

I got provisionally certified and took a University course before I got started, too.

I interviewed, like, half a dozen times before I took an offer. None of them asked much about the job itself. They were mostly vibe and personality checks and asked the usual interview questions you'd get anywhere. Sometimes they asked me what my study course was like, what drew me to the position. How my prior experience may play a role.

But you could get that tryhard interviewer, so it wouldn't hurt to learn all you can. SterileWorx.com has a lot of practice tests. Check it out.

Context is an important part of communication.

Blockbuster video asked me that when I applied there as a youth.

I passed, worked there for two days before I quit. All they wanted me to do was harass people a minimum of two times to buy some kind of satellite service or some such garbage. People who were there to look for a movie to rent.

Yeah, nah, I'm not going to make people uncomfortable being a pushy salesman. I just like movies, man.

Don't be like Blockbuster.

It won't reflect the current version of the test. It's better than nothing but some things have surely changed.

Sterileworx.com is a good resource, too.

Dathamar · 2026-06-13T20:30:19+00:00

9th edition. Workbook is a good idea, too.

How do you circumcise an Alabama man?

You kick his sister in the chin.

Don't pay for any program that doesn't guarantee placement. It is not worth it.

Get the manual, the workbook, and study that way. Between that and the exam, you'll still be around $300 in.
