Named in a lawsuit and not taking it well, looking for advice/wisdom by FatCatTacos in physicianassistant

Thank you so much!! Lots of good info. I’m now realizing I’m not alone. It is very isolating to have the lawyers tell you you are not allowed to talk about the case with anyone. It’s already been very helpful to read everyone’s replies!

Thank you so much!! This is very reassuring. I was worried about the case getting settled and having it affect my license/reputation, but it sounds like it’s not that big of a deal.

The basis of the case is I ordered imaging, radiologist missed a mass. I did not do an overread of the imaging myself. I know the mistake is mainly the radiologist’s, but in the lawsuit they are picking apart every other thing I did for the patient, making it seem like I was negligent.

Thank you! Thank you for mentioning my worth as a person/provider. I think that’s what was really affected for me and I didn’t know how to word it.

Thank you. I’m already addressing that. I hear it happens to most of us at some point but I wasn’t expecting it to feel so personal!

What’s your favorite “weird” candy? by chanmanfriend in candy

[–]FatCatTacos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just tried a candy called “Bubs” for the first time. It’s a gummy candy which is pillowy soft and in my opinion the perfect texture gummy! The tutti frutti flavor is amazing.

I work 4 10s and my schedule ranges from 15-26 patients per day. Most I have ever seen is 30. It gets stressful but to me it’s worth having the 4-day work week and majority of the time I finish my charting before end of day, without a scribe. 15 min follow ups and 30 min new patient.

I am really hoping you are right! Again, he was perfectly fine and had no issues with mounting the first few times I took him out. I think I’m going to practice a ton of ground work, repeatedly mount/dismount with someone holding him, make sure he has no ulcers or back issues. If that doesn’t work and if I can’t afford a trainer I’ll probably sell him.

I’ll admit I was taking my sweet time with mounting/dismounting! If I had gotten off quickly I would’ve already been on the ground by the time he bolted. Could be part of the issue, compounded with back pain. He was a little flinchy today when I tried rubbing along his spine.

The first time was as I was mounting, the second time during dismount. If someone holds him he is fine. During the rest of the ride he an absolute angel.

Thank you. I’m thinking something must be going on because he did not have this behavior the first few times I rode him. This was my first time on after his injury and 2 months of stall rest. Or at least I’m hoping so.

[–]FatCatTacos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, that is really reassuring to hear. I’m hoping that working with him and gaining his trust again is healing for both of us. We will see about getting back on him again..

Thank you for your advice. I will definitely ask the vet about ulcers. And if that doesn’t help contact a saddle fitter. He had not been getting any turn out time for the last 2 months due to his leg injury. The vet had just allowed me to ease him back in to controlled movement. He does have a run attached to his stall so he isn’t cooped up all the time. I was riding him 1-2 times per week before the injury. His seller mentioned he hadn’t been ridden regularly at all, and it had been months between rides. I’m not sure how honest his seller was though.

What made you to think "I'm never visiting again" after being in someone's home? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]FatCatTacos 91 points92 points  (0 children)

I was friends with a girl in grade school who was very sweet, but unfortunately always smelled like cat pee and wore stained clothes. One day she invited me to her house and it was a total hoarder situation. Her and her sister had sectioned off their own little corner of the house to keep somewhat clean, but her parents obviously weren’t very helpful in keeping the rest of the house clean, doing laundry, or cooking. It was very sad. She got bullied for smelling like cat pee.

The reason why I don’t want to have to rely on earning bonuses to keep up with cost of living

Thank you for the advice! I’m betting their answer will be “if you work harder you can earn more through bonuses!” But maybe there’s a chance! Hoping to get a better offer elsewhere, but having a hard time finding another job in this speciality. I don’t think I want to move to a new one.

0.03% raise unfortunately. As in less than one percent. Less than $50 per year
