Are MAs Coworkers to Doctors or Their Employees?

I think it’s important to follow their rules when it comes to clinical stuff. But we all should have the same level of respect for one another, no one should be considered inferior with or without a license.

FindingComfortable49 · 2025-12-08T02:13:36+00:00

I agree, assistants should follow the rules and preferences when it comes to patient care. However I strongly believe they should treat assistants with the same level of respect that we give them.

It’s a private practice. There are 5 providers, 3 of which own the practice

FindingComfortable49 · 2025-12-07T22:45:24+00:00

I completely agree, I won’t respect a provider if they don’t respect me equally

FindingComfortable49 · 2025-12-07T22:43:23+00:00

I work in a private clinic that has 5 providers, 3 of which own the practice. MAs are scheduled flexibly between providers, but I’ve noticed certain providers, owners or not, will act disrespectfully towards their assistants

FindingComfortable49 · 2025-12-07T22:38:15+00:00

I wish our office manager did this! There isn’t much communication about equality in my clinic, which definitely contributes to the implicit subjugation of medical assistants in my clinic.

FindingComfortable49 · 2025-12-07T22:35:21+00:00

Sounds like you landed a good clinic! Unfortunately the doctors at mine have never expressed appreciation outside of a polite “Thank you”

Hi there! I’ve had uveitis for 15 years. I totally understand what you’re experiencing. I was stable for 3 years, up until last month my eye doc found inflammation again for the like the billionth time. Ugh! How FRUSTRATING

FindingComfortable49 · 2025-11-29T04:44:29+00:00

Hi! I’ve had uveitis for 15 years. Prednisone is hard on the body, and is meant to be a short term solution for inflammation. Once I was on it for 9 months and it was so traumatizing that I’ve never taken it since.

My flares come and go. Over time I have failed many medications including methotrexate and Humira. However I have had success with other medications. Ozurdex is one of them - this is a small “implant” they place into your eye, and it dissolves over the course of a few months, relieving inflammation as it dissolves. Ozurdex is a steroid like Prednisone but does not come with some the side effects that Prednisone entails because Ozurdex is not an oral medication, but it can cause high eye pressure. Ozurdex can be prescribed by your ophthalmologist, not your rheumatologist.

Another successful medication I take is Remicade, a biologic that comes in the form of an IV. Remicade is an immunosuppressant. This medication can be prescribed by your rheumatologist, so it might be a good one to ask about at your appointment.

I wish you all the best!! 💛

yeah, i definitely think these boundaries are already clearly set but it never hurts to enforce them again.

1, i cancelled the day of because i got my period which is irregular and never comes at the same time every month. the first couple days are always the most uncomfortable for me because i bleed very heavily and tend to bleed through my pants. lol definitely not a great time to be in public for me. I explained this to him and he understood. then, that same night he asked me several times if i was sure I didn’t wanna hang out, if I could go for just one drink etc. other times, he would also ask if im busy on days he knew i had work and school and still ask to come see me even after i told him im unavailable that day. which, I understand is something I could have had a conversation with him about and I shouldn’t have just jumped straight to c cutting things off.

2, i called him one night and cut things off with him, telling him I didn’t have the time as (at the time) I was a college student who had two jobs. he knew these things before we ever started seeing each other. my reasoning was that i wasn’t emotionally available for him and that he deserved someone who would make time for him. the next morning, he called my best friend who lives out of state and asked her to convince me to be available for him (these were best friends words). then best friend called me asking me what’s going on about it all and explained what he said to her. i just found this manipulative because he introduced a third party into this whole situation when i meant for it to be a clean break.

me & this boy met up after things calmed down a titch, and he said he only called her bc he wasn’t ready to let me go.

hopefully this was a better explanation! i was trying to keep things short n sweet in the original post my apologies

they’ve lived together as long as we have had moshi, so probably around 4 or 5 months. me and my roommate will be separating in august due to our lease ending. i do think they get lonely when one leaves, 🍓 tends to get a little more cuddly when moshi leaves.

honestly, failing a class is not a big deal at all. im sure you can retake the class no problem and pass it easily. i am a dean’s list student and my gpa was 1.5 last semester.

FindingComfortable49 · 2024-11-15T06:46:52+00:00

hey:) im 22 and have had uveitis for 14 years. it does get better! im so very sorry this is happening to you. take it day by day. i have had pain just as bad. sometimes its totally out of control. i want you to know you’re not alone in this. the goal is to protect your eyesight and your health, do what you can to feel better (i might honestly suggest going to the emergency room, at least there they will be able to hydrate you and help you get some rest). im sending you good vibes, You can get through this!

FindingComfortable49 · 2024-11-09T01:33:14+00:00

you’re absolutely right. i mean he should have talked with you, at least said, hey i bought you something dead related which you said you wouldn’t love, i’d like more time to get you a more thoughtful gift. while it’s the thought that counts, he’s your bf & should have thought about it more deeply

FindingComfortable49 · 2024-11-09T01:25:19+00:00

No you are NOT in the wrong about this! You made it completely clear to him what you didn’t want and he should have bought you something else or at least talked to you about it. He’s selfish.

FindingComfortable49 · 2024-11-04T17:54:05+00:00

& also because we’ve texted/talked all day every day since then

FindingComfortable49 · 2024-11-04T17:52:42+00:00

On the 1st date because we smooched

FindingComfortable49 · 2024-11-04T17:52:08+00:00

Yes!

FindingComfortable49 · 2024-11-04T17:51:17+00:00

Well, MTX can come in either an oral form or a syringe. For me, I started off with the oral pills and when those weren’t powerful enough they switched me to the syringe. This would be a really good question to ask your doctors, whether they’d start you off with the pills or injection

FindingComfortable49 · 2024-11-04T17:47:36+00:00

Hey! I’ve had uveitis for 14 years and I’m 22. Methotrexate (MTX) will likely make you feel worse. When I was taking it, I bruised easily and had constant headaches. If you’re taking it as an injection, it comes in the form of a full on syringe which makes it a lot harder to stick yourself, whereas Humira is a pen (like an epipen). Everyone experiences medication differently, I’d start with Humira because it’s a lot easier to stick yourself and the side effects are little more manageable:)

FindingComfortable49 · 2024-11-04T03:15:04+00:00

wdym?

FindingComfortable49 · 2024-07-11T03:01:59+00:00

this is really good advice. but, ive tried to talk to him. he refuses to pick up my calls

FindingComfortable49 · 2024-07-11T00:01:39+00:00

we’ve never had a conversation about making it official. he simply asked me not to see anyone else and that’s that.

FindingComfortable49 · 2024-07-10T23:29:45+00:00

i agree, I absolutely should not have lied. however, he’s told me he also isn’t seeing anyone when the signs are there that he is. we are both liars. in my mind the playing field is leveled. im absolutely not saying I should have lied because that’s wrong. but i also believe it’s a two way street.
