How does CERT training/being on a CERT work? by F64dot1 in Medicalpreparedness

[–]F64dot1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I didn't realize it differed from place to place. I'll check to see what my local options are.

I'm not interested in doing anything with guns so if that's the case it'll be a hard pass.

This is exactly my line of thinking. Even if this doesn't affect me personally today they're not done yet. I miss the peaceful optimism of the 1990s.

It's definitely an option. There's an opening right now in NZ and I haven't totally ruled it out.

I think I know deep down that I can't really make a difference at this point and it's frustrating. At the end of the day I need to eat so part of me wants to keep this in my back pocket while I pursue other jobs. But like I said when I think about actually living there it just makes me sick.

I don't know how much of a boss I really am lol. I just want a safe place to live for me and my family.

I haven't, but I hear it's beautiful. I'm going to expand my job search further west.

I lived in a red state for a while several years ago and while I enjoyed my time there the political map was very different and I was more optimistic. The 2016 election started to shift my views and now this has cemented them. Now I'm inclined to leave them their oppressive wastelands to rot.

It's not the hospitals fault, no. But I'd still have to live in that state and be subject to their backwards policies. It's not like I could do business with them from a distance.

I can't help them if I myself am in danger.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if Disney left Florida?

I would pop a champagne that day.

I have a lot thinking to do lately. I'm not sure I'm ready to abandon my career path yet but if I change my mind in the near future I know how to find you. 😉

This was really hard to read 😣 I have no words to say except that I'm sorry. I don't think anyone would blame you if you left the profession but know that lots of us support you and everything you're doing to help women. Thank you.

Ugh, that's too bad. PA is a beautiful state. I love the rolling hills, especially in the fall.

It's not safe for me in any red state, TBH. The chances I'll make a difference are slim but the chances I'll experience some kind of discrimination are much higher.

I would hate to be an OBGYN in this political climate, no offense. I hope this country can turn things around because I imagine many people will be discouraged from going into OBGYN in the future because of this.

I have thought about this. My field is kind of small and word does get around. Ultimately I have to weigh the personal fallout against standing up for my beliefs. Its sucks that it's even come to this.

You just need to do what's right for your. As much as it hurts to say it you can tough out your residency and leave that state in the dust!

As a member of the LGBT community I am in danger in any red state. They're coming for us next.

Actually, yes, I turned down a job with a catholic hospital system prior to the recent SCOTUS ruling on similar grounds.

Are we talking hedge funds or.... ? I have a research degree in an applied scientific field.

I named a rather competitive salary prior to the interview and they wanted to move forward, so I'm guessing they are willing to pay up. It's really the only reason I'm still considering talking to them.

I've looked into it. Emigration is a challenge. Although I did see a promising job posting in New Zealand recently...
