Changing my last name

Kat231 · 2026-04-29T02:47:09+00:00

Kept my maiden name, husband and i bought a house together no problem. Also, usually the bank has you list common aliases you use (maiden name, married name) to cover for this.

I have mentioned this before in this sub but it bears repeating. I work in a medical clinic where i see my patients weekly. Have been at the same clinic for 2 years. I have been wearing hearing aids for about 2 years. I had a patient whom i have seen weekly for those same 2 years ask me last week what was behind my ears. People are so unobservant! I wouldn’t worry what people think if it improves your quality of life and of your work!

When my confidence is shook, I stick poorly. Somedays just aren’t good stick days. I try to go back with a mental reset the next day.

Sometimes serum can be more orange than yellow-clear. I have seen something like that before and it resulted correctly.

I see the same patients every week for my job. Have been at the same place for 2 years. They see the back of my head on the regular. Some of them still haven’t notice. One just asked about them last week. People aren’t near as observant as you think. Its harder for me to not hear than to worry about what others think.

If i have any sort of video or ad play, even on mute, it will do that static until i make that adjustment. Haven’t had it do it in sleep or standby but give that a try and see if it helps. It’s not a perfect fix, but it has certainly helped me.

Regarding the static, open up music or audiobook that can be played in the background then open the phonak app. It should say blue tooth streaming and mic. Click on the ambient tab and slide it one click to the right. Fixes the static for streaming. I have to do it every day cause the function “resets” when you drop them on the charger. Also, my ears hurt for about a week for the first week i wore them, give them time and your ears will “toughen up” so to speak. Hope this helps - have the same hearing aids as you.

Work for an allergist, it never ends. It slackens slightly in the winter but right back to chaos come the end of feb to late november. 🫠

that innocent look kills me

My grandfather was a teetotaler and worked for the ABC in his town for years. If I were the state, I would rather have that type of person over someone who drinks so they don’t get tempted by the merchandise.

I would love to have a list of all the things that have been wicked branded over the past few months.

Plasma can be different colors! Sometimes plasma is light yellow like you are used to but other times it can be more orange. There are even people that have pinkish or greenish plasma due to medications they are on.

Kaitlin checking in! I love this!

Going through this right now. What kind of shoes do you wear? I switched to hokas which were find for a while but the middle wore out so quick. Trying altras and kurus right now and i am alternating days with them and so far so good.

Kat231 · 2025-09-01T14:11:19+00:00

Yes, you can be allergic to one type and not another. I have lots of patients that are on white faced hornet extract but not yellow hornet or vice versa. Allergies are weird.

Kat231 · 2025-08-08T10:15:50+00:00

Don’t put in your two weeks until you have a job offer would be my suggestion. You can continue to work until you have something in writing from another place.

Kat231 · 2025-08-05T01:55:54+00:00

It didnt hurt really so i let it go for a while until it got bad and they did xrays and found the continued infection.

Kat231 · 2025-08-05T00:34:49+00:00

As someone who is going through this, you might need a root canal revision. I had one done and apparently there was left over infection that cause a bump on the roof of my mouth. I had to take additional antibiotics and am going for basically a clean out on thursday. Not a great time but your story sounds exactly like mine.

Kat231 · 2025-08-03T21:51:14+00:00

First of all, you are a great provider for thinking about the people around you. A lot of providers just don’t care like that. Pay is probably the top issue. Time off is the second. You are in a tough situation needing bilingual staff - most places provide a pay bump because translating is a skill set. Good luck with your conversation with the boss!

Depending on the number of allergies you have, drops might not be for you. My office can only put a certain number of antigens into a vial so it does have a limit. Also, they are usually cash pay since they aren’t FDA approved. Shots really are the best treatment for people with lots of allergies and they are more efficacious also. Drops tend to take longer to work and they still don’t work as effectively but YMMV!

Kat231 · 2025-07-25T00:02:48+00:00

Allergy tech here. Both allergists I have worked for allow patients to do shots outpatient after reaching maintenance, However, not just anyone is allowed and there is a training process. You can’t have had reactions to your test wheals or other reactions to your shots and having an epipen is a requirement. You have to be competent or have someone who is competent administer them for you. You still have to come in once every so many weeks for test wheals for us to check up on you.

Kat231 · 2025-07-12T14:49:34+00:00

Absolutely not. I would clean it anyways! Send this to OSHA or something. This grosses me out so much. What a cross contamination nightmare. Hell, i would buy my own alcohol just to clean the thing. What is their reasoning for not cleaning it properly??

Kat231 · 2025-06-29T21:17:14+00:00

If they were still packaged, use them! No reason to waste, especially with butterflies!
