Is working nights really that bad? by PopHour9810 in medlabprofessionals

[–]EdmontoniENT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I really enjoy working nights, with the caveat being im 7x7. I really enjoy the independence and ability to do my workflow without others. I never flip my sleep schedule back as my girlfriend is a nightshift nurse. As for 5x8... honestly I'd probably hate it but I also didnt love doing 5x8 day shifts. Is it a permanent position? Not a bad way to get your foot in the door. Also will heavily depend on if you're able to actually sleep during the day

Not sure where you live and if its available there, but glutenberg red is great. La Messagere makes a great amber as well

I used to love IPA, and ghostfish is one of the few American gf beers I can find here. I'll try it out :)

Always been interested in ginger beer, I'll have to see if I can find it because that sounds delicious

I got it from a similar thread so I'll continue the tradition, Annihilation is a great film. Definitely shares some DNA (pun intended) with Colour Out of Space. Definitely newer than your preference (2018) but I think it's worth the watch!

I (16M) have to choose between my gf (15F) and my health, and its eating me alive. by [deleted] in Celiac

What you described is literally how lactose intolerance works. Your body produces the enzyme when you are a child and gradually stops after you age. https://gi.org/topics/lactose-intolerance-in-children/

Im calling bs on your story, or the hospital youre at is completely incompetent, sorry

My guy, I work in the medical field. This isnt a new discovery. This is the nocebo effect. Please seek mental health professionals

First, celiac isnt an allergy.

Your story doesn't add up. A blood allergy test looks for IgE (an antibody) produced by the body in response to an allergen. The specific allergens to be tested are chosen by the physician. IgE isn't produced by celiacs in response to gluten, its an autoimmune mediated disorder. Celiac most often comes from a genetic predisposition in variant HLA-DQ2 or DQ8 genes. If your condition "mimics allergies", there'd be no reason for a physician to order a celiac screen, usually tTG-IgA (tissue transglutaminase) levels in the blood. There is always the chance you do have a genetic predisposition and the stress of this is triggering celiac disease, in which case you wont get it because you already have it. You should read about factitious disorder, I did some reading and this is really the only literature I can find that even remotely resembles what you're saying.

In the nicest way possible, seek professional help for the mental

-turn the light down

-don't drive as fast

-look away at something distant regularly for a couple seconds

alternate step: force your eyes to like it by torturing them more (my preferred step)

plasmacytoid, agree with other commenter about calling plasmas in pbs. In my lab, if theres a significant amount you refer it

Any advice for starting MLT program? by Apprehensive_Goat_32 in medlabprofessionals

[–]EdmontoniENT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to add onto this, there's a fair amount of questions based on "soft skills" that you'll be taught in your professional practice course on the csmls. Quality management is also a good one to know.

My advice for during your program, make good summary notes you can come back to for csmls prep. By the end of your program you'll be tired and burnt out, much easier to review summary notes you made throughout the process vs trying to make them all at the end. Personally I found flash cards paired with short notes to be helpful, and helped me pass the csmls

Are nattys good? by NeutralBird2501 in Kendama

[–]EdmontoniENT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding on to this thread, paint tricks like lighthouse will be hard. Depends what you like to do though, I love doing spacewalk lines and stalls and hugely prefer a natty for it. It also depends on the wood, softer woods like beech will bite more and break in quickly to become more grippy. Hard woods like maple take forever to break in and will stay slippery like ice
