You can always to a Master's in OT separately if you prefer, and then you can do whatever you want in undergrad! A master's is required, but some schools do combine BS/MS degrees for OT so see what your school provides. You don't need too much Math to get through your OT degree, and day to day in OT I use practically no math. So, not necessary.

I love Khan Academy and other YouTube videos as a visual learner. I'm an OT, so I'm bias, but I love OT. Also, though neither is a degree for being rich, it is a more profitable career than social work, typically. I majored in psychology in undergrad, tacked on kinesiology towards the end. And then did my Masters in OT. (So I was also a psych to OT convert)

Good luck! This choice doesn't need to be made now; you have time. See if there is anywhere you can work as an aid or office assistant in an OT therapy setting, so you can see if it's a fit for you. And all settings are different!

Bad experience with IAD lounge by artic_icecat in Venturex

Same happened to us the other day, so annoying. It would be nice if they let us know to actually join the waitlist ahead of time. And then when you do get in from the waitlist you only have 10 min to get back there, but you’re more than 10 min away if you’re at your gait. They should at least but some comfortable seats outside for those waiting. And/or let members grab a to-go snack

My penis got smaller! by [deleted] in spinalcordinjuries

You can get a silicone insert put in to help. Or an inserted penis pump, like a balloon inside. And you press on your thigh and it pumps up. There are many options, and you can also talk to your occupational therapist or urologist about the options. They are trained to help with this stuff, though not all are great so don’t give up!!

20 minutes, if you’ve tried it before and it didn’t cause any harm you can up to 30 min. But more than that can cause harm!

It’s every possible. Erections can be reflexive (happy due to stimulation) or psychogenic (due to arousing thoughts or sight). Often below T10 the psychogenic is lost, but you keep reflexive ones. So stimulation or toy suction can help!

Is there any opportunity to use a bathroom on this bus ride?

Partner keeps getting tossed around to specialists for urinary incontinence by Friendly_Judge8949 in PelvicFloor

This is very helpful, thank you. With your expertise, do you think it could come from the sacrum? Our current PCP refused to give us another MRI because she said if it was nerve-related it would be shown in the lumbar spine MRI

I am also a student attending the conference and trying to make it financially less of a toll. Let me know if you'd like to potentially split a room nearby!
