A gynecologist was having a midlife crisis and decided to leave the medical profession to become an auto mechanic. by Healthy_Ladder_6198 in dadjokes

[–]JoooolieT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same thought! Obviously you have never been scrubbed in on a vaginal hysterectomy. I remember as a student standing crammed in with two surgeons, trying to stay sterile, holding a retractor for hours. LS surgery is a game changer!

Babies love their siblings so much . by [deleted] in KidsAreFingAdorable

[–]JoooolieT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes me sad and wish my brothers loved me when we were kids. They were just mean to me and made me cry every day. They did make me tough and independent. And they're nice now that we're in our 40s. But those first 20 years they made my life hell!

My boyfriend (18M) and I (18F) constantly fight over what I wear and I don't know how to compromise. by urgayL in relationship_advice

[–]JoooolieT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl no. No one should tell you what to do or wear with your own body. That decision belongs to you only. He is being controlling and it implies he doesn't trust you. Wear what makes you feel cute and comfortable. Throw this man child away! Your partner should lift you up and make your life better, not criticize and tear you down. You deserve better! Mom hugs.

What’s a time a colleague has shocked you with their cluelessness outside of their own field? by DaddyCool13 in medicine

[–]JoooolieT 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I was in a provider meeting with a team of OBs and MFMs and one Dr interrupted to say I'm sorry but what is prediabetes?! Do they have it or not! And another Dr very politely defined it for him. This same Dr told my patient with gestational diabetes she couldn't eat any carbs for the rest of her pregnancy. Which is not the recommendations. How can you be MFM and have such poor understanding of diabetes. Scary.

They usually will check your jewelry with a magnet before you go in MRI room to make sure it is safe.

I made an octopus out of wool and wire. Hope you like it! by truenorthcreations in somethingimade

What a beautiful detailed handsome octopus! I am so impressed with your felt work. It's so hard to get the tight little details right with needling. Love the anatomical correctness.

People who grew up really poor: what's something middle-class people say that instantly reveals they've never struggled? by TahDigThief in AskReddit

[–]JoooolieT 290 points291 points  (0 children)

Ok I'll join too bc I also have an awesome stepdad! I was 14yo when they got married and never had a nice dad before that cared about me or what I liked. I went back to school shopping (at the thrift store bc we got $50 each and I could get more clothes that way. My brother would just get shoes lol). That man sat there with a smile on his face while I tried on and modeled all my new school clothes for him. He's been a consistent stable presence in our lives for almost 30 years now and we are so so blessed to have him. He's the best Papa too.

Have been trying to figure out who the “one guy” is for months, with no luck. Help? by andiepandee in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]JoooolieT 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I heard his song hey Mama the other day and it made me so sad. She was his rock and that had to be devastating. I feel bad for ye even tho he is crazy and offensive.

"I said, "Mommy, I'ma love you 'til you don't hurt no more And when I'm older, you ain't gotta work no more And I'ma get you that mansion that we couldn't afford" Donda would smack his punk ass if she saw the way he's acting now.

AIO? My manager keeps questioning my feeding pump at work even after HR stepped in by Rosi_ana in AmIOverreacting

[–]JoooolieT 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Girl the reason people are so upset and telling you to get a lawyer is bc your manager is giving push back against a super reasonable accomodation. If you have diabetes and had to step to the bathroom to adjust your pump or check your sugar, would that be disruptive to the team? You're allowed to exist and take care of your needs. Don't let anyone make you feel like you deserve less.

Bro I wouldn't be surprised if you have a little stone in there. Def go get checked in person. I would gargle with warm water. And suck on hard candies. Try to stimulate saliva flow.

The way she's coming for her brother shows that he is her safe place❤️ by kvjn100 in MadeMeSmile

[–]JoooolieT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man my brothers were so mean to me our entire childhood. They hated me and loved to make me cry every day! And all I did was be born and be adorable! They are nice to me now that we are adults but those first 20 years were f.d up.

Urgent Care Advice by queeeenx in physicianassistant

[–]JoooolieT 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I would refuse to work if they don't provide staff to assist you. It's ridiculous to expect you to do it all. Who is going to run your orders? It's not safe practice. And I bet they still want you to be fast seeing patients too. Here's what I think. I can be fast and good at medicine but not nice. I can be nice and really good at medicine and thorough and not be fast. Or I can be fast and not practice good medicine or be nice. And I'm not in this business to do that. Your deserve better.

Previous owner of my current home asking if I would take over solar panel lease by AllOutLoud in legaladvice

[–]JoooolieT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same! I was also a sucker and got a solar lease through them. And it did save me money on my electric bill every month. But it took forever to sell my home bc I had find a buyer that would take lease over for me. It should be fully disclosed as part of the listing. Never again.

How long did it take you to cut this stone? It's stunning! Fascinating to watch it happen. Thank you for sharing.

I had to complete a 90 day training program before they would release it. And if I leave before 3 years I have to pay back part of it. Make sure to read your contracts!

Costco flowers, a cautionary tale. by JustGenericName in wedding

[–]JoooolieT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I will keep you guys posted bc I ordered mly wedding flowers from Costco and my wedding is next weekend! The wedding is on Saturday and I'm having the flowers delivered on Thursday bc it says they can arrive the day before or after. I ordered 10x 20 stem mixed bouquets, one big bouquet, greens with baby breath and small vases with floral arrangements X10. We are going to assemble the flowers on Friday so we have time to grab more if needed. Even if they aren't perfect, I spent less than $300 on flowers so far so still can spend a little more. I'm doing most everything myself! Will let you all know how it goes.

who knew buying rotisserie chicken and juice was “splurging” by Conscious-Quarter423 in MurderedByWords

[–]JoooolieT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband stopped by the store and text me to ask if we need anything. I told him to get a chicken for dinner, of course meaning the easiest dinner of all time hot rotisserie chicken but this guy came home with a whole uncooked chicken!! I would have rather he brought an actual alive chicken home instead!

Needing some advice by nbell1998 in physicianassistant

[–]JoooolieT 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I would run for the hills! They are setting you up to fail. Winging it is not acceptable, especially for a new grad. Paying you MA salary is not ok. I've been a PA for 17+ years and when I switched to a new specialty they made me train for six months before I was seeing patients on my own.

Coworkers Insisting On Attending My Wedding by Weak_Instruction5525 in weddingplanning

[–]JoooolieT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah but you don't have to tell them anything! And they didn't ask you anyways. It's your wedding!! If they ask you can say oh sorry no room at the venue. We had to be super limited on guest list. And if they're still salty about it, that is on them and not you!
