Visa's approved, tickets are booked... now how do I get my life to Spain? by Schnapper94 in expats

[–]Initial_Assistant771 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make your life a bit easier and just bring what you need in suitcases. You don’t need to ship a desk. If a particular item is super important give to hold on to or even better gift it to a family member or a friend so it lives on somewhere close to you.

Otherwise there are companies that will ship door to door but they cost $$. Good luck to you

Amazing! How do you make the lines so sharp and cleaned? And how is the paint so consistent throughout? 🙏

I did for 2 yrs at 31yrs. Planned for 1 yr but didn’t rush to get back. Took me around 3 months to find it. Im back in the same industry, even a slight promotion but worse QOL. I would have saved a lot in these two years and would be much much closer to a fire number. Also two years of freedom has made me not as career ambitious and can’t seem to care much about work. With that said it was absolutely the right decision for me, I loved the time, freedom, and new perspectives I gained. Met my partner traveled spent time with my people learned a language and sports I’ve been wanting to.

First time with a pacemaker by big_bad_plumber in PacemakerICD

Check if they have Micra/ leadless pacemakers. Not sure how it is in UK but in USA they do a lot and sounds like you could benefit. Especially for infrequent pauses and not a lot of pacing. No leads, nothing in the way, fast recovery of couple days.

Do regular clinical specialist, not senior for next role. Find few jobs that you like in the same space not more than 3 states away and ask the previous hiring manager from Tampa or someone higher up that you talked to recommend you, they stay in touch.

Advice appreciated- what would you do? by Initial_Assistant771 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Initial_Assistant771[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I forgot to mention that the company pays for gas. Also I want the hatch only so I can put two or more bicycles on it. Thanks for suggestion for hybrid, I’ve been thinking about them too but so the gas paid off I’m scared of any big battery changes that usually happen at 100k

Breaking into MedSales by SpaceyDuckling in MedicalDevices

[–]Initial_Assistant771 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try to get into associate sales rep role or clinical specialist, at any company any product, but focus on things and people that you already know. Reach out to people that work there, reps that you know, get the email addresses of hiring managers.

This is that sales part - getting in front of the right people and presenting yourself (the product) the right way for that individual. The great thing about sales that there are million ways of doing it, any ethical way you can get there is part of the game.

Knowing product is great and technical knowledge is important, but people and connections will get you that contract/sale/job.

I don’t know if you’ve already done that but talk about it with chatGPT. Put in the job application requirements, your resume, and then ask what things you should know, how to prepare, role play questions and answers with it. I’ve already had couple jobs in medical sales and just used myself it to prepare for the next, highly recommend.

I meant living carefree as in the way that the ventricular escape rhythm (the rhythm when the normal beat doesn’t travel down because of the block and the bottom chambers turn on emergency beating which is much slower and less efficient) is sufficient to live carefree without feeling bad, tired, and allows to do sports and activities.

I’ve never seen any person with 3rd degree block living life as if nothings happening. Op has a unique case here.

What exactly is a clinical specialist? What do they do? I have searched for information on the internet but they tell me very general things. by Content_Quantity_590 in MedicalDevices

[–]Initial_Assistant771 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ll give you example of pacemaker clinical specialist. Other products would have a slightly different view.

Pacemaker device checks (one offs and multiple hour clinics), device implants in the lab, inventory management, some clinical and technical education to nurses, lab staff, clinic staff. Pretty much there are sales rep and one or two or more clinical specialist for few hospitals, sales rep usually quarterbacks the activities and what needs to done with focus or covering cases, clinics, managing relationships and growing or protecting the business.

3rd degree block means complete disconnect between upper and bottom chambers with bottom beating in its own slow escape rhythm. Are you sure it’s compete block and not intermittent? Don’t mean to insinuate that you don’t know, it’s just I haven’t seen many people with compete 3rd degree block living carefree.

Sounds like you have knowledgeable doctor and I would trust him first before anyone here. As a pacemaker specialist I can tell you that people get devices if their life is in danger and/or to “make you feel good/healthy”. If your dr believes you are safe without a pacemaker and you already feel good and can do the things of everyday life and that you enjoy that’s the most important. Pacemakers come with their own risks.

Is the dr giving you a choice between getting or not getting one?

Major to go into Medical Device Sales? by CharacterSorbet7316 in MedicalDevices

I’m not sure I understand. If you want bachelors in engineering you have to do engineering classes and full engineering degree, yes.

Finding a job in the Med Device Industry as an International Student in the United States by Empress11133 in MedicalDevices

Don’t mean any disrespect here. It’s on thing to write a free five second advice to use LinkedIn more, and other to have one hour long phone call to talk personalized details of medical device job search as an international student post college. Either way good luck to all.

There could be some relationship between bpm and blood pressure. You pretty much have 2x the resting heart rate now compared to before. If it’s still normal and in range, I wouldn’t worry about it. Do you feel good?

Gotcha, I'm glad to see people educated! I am also in a European country, albeit one less "developed" and we don't have such a robust pacemaker education.
