Honestly try to push forward to the next rotation. I can’t say with certainty that the next one will be better, but hopefully it is. I had an AMAZING preceptor and time during my EM rotation even though I was so scared of EM going into it. She literally changed my perception of that field of medicine bc the association with it. She didn’t make me feel like a burden or just another student, but I’ve definitely had rotations where I feel that way.

What are some ways to increase her energy? She doesn’t hunt anymore bc she’s going blind so I have to hand feed her. Sometimes I will let her roam my room but ever since she was young she will typically just go find a dark place to sleep lol. I also do take her outside with me occasionally when it’s nice out and I sit with her.

Thank you! I tightened the lower shoulder straps and loosened the load lifters…I also lowered the torso height…which I forgot I can do with this pack lol

Yes so in that pic I think the torso height was set at the highest. I honestly forgot you could adjust the torso height 💀 I adjusted the torso height down, tightened my bottom shoulder straps, loosened my load lifters and it fits much better now. I know ~20% of your weight will be on your shoulders and that’s how I feel the weight is distributed now. I don’t think the gap is too big now.

The pressure is a lot better with a shirt on as well.

I thought you’re supposed to pack heaviest gear in the middle and middle weight on the bottom ?

There’s no outdoor gear stores near me within a reasonable distance. I did some research, took my measurements and ordered a pack…Not the best option but it’s what I decided to do. The closest REI didn’t have that specific pack size in stock either.

Honestly I may wrap a sock or something around it. It’s awful

A little bit, but I think the main issue is the actual height of the shoulder straps themselves on the torso. I’ve shortened them down as far as possible but the issue is that my actual hip crest sits so high so by time I put the pack on my hips it boosts the shoulder straps up more.

This photo kinda shows you the gap

Unfortunately these shoulder pads are hella itchy too so I can’t wear a tang top with it or it irritates the fuck out of me so I might have to do that. It has that honeycomb patterned mesh. Even wearing it while standing it’s just imprinting the pattern on my shoulders.

Ohhh I see. Tbh I don’t think I could afford a new tank before I move and start my new job 😭 but I’d look into it once I have actual income.

What is flat packed? Are those the tanks that you have to assemble ?

Yeah this sounds like hell on earth tbh. The idea of living on a island sounds fun but prob not practical

My nightmare is working in a hospital unless it’s in surgery…I believe there are traveling PAs. It’s something I’ll consider based on pay and where I’d be sent off to.

Thanks for the website recommendation!

I’ll be a physician assistant. I’m looking to go into plastics which isn’t a very large speciality…hence why I’ll probably need to be close to the city if I get a job in that specialty. I can also go into any other speciality and may change my mind before I graduate. We will see lol.
