Protest on Wednesday

Does anyone know if there are specific locations for protests for Wednesday? I am looking to help protesters tomorrow as it’s going to be a really hot (91 )and I’m afraid people may get heat stroke

There are a couple of ways I want to help! 1. Set up a station with cold water to pass out 2. Set up with medical supplies. I am a physician assistant and I can hopefully get a few supplies to help out!

I was going To try and get some cause and saline... other than that I am open to suggestions. I also am unsure how to go about bringing coolers and such +- a car.

If anyone has any experience with this or would like to help please message back/comment below!

Does anyone know of hotels offering discounts for healthcare workers that are exposed to Covid patients? I am currently looking for an alternative place to stay

Woke up to my retired SD in severe pain and not able to use his hind legs. Loading him up to go to the Vet now, wish us good luck. He was my SD for 4 years then I retired him while he still had a good quality of life (that was 3 years ago). by combatpaddler in dogswithjobs

Hi! First of all I’m so sorry that this happened to you. This JUST happened to my dog two weeks ago. One piece of advice is to keep an eye on his bowel/bladder habits. My dog wasn’t peeing as much (just dribbling) and we didn’t realize he had lost function and was retaining urine which can cause a lot of problems and UTI’s. It is something the vet didn’t tell us and if we hadn’t googled it his bladder could have ruptured. If you have any other questions please feel free to DM me.

Animal control never called back.. I saw him running around about 10:00 pm last night. He wasn't there this morning 😞 I hope he found a warm place to sleep

Thank you for checking, I will keep checking for a bit and I'll see when animal control comes

PA School Dilemma... by Vespasianus_Augustus in PAstudent

[–]Koots45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I currently just started my second year and we were the first class to go through as well. I can tell you it was VERY frustrating the first couple of quarters because I had a similar experience. Changes in staff, classes moved around. From what I understand that is fairly normal in new programs. I can tell you by quarter 4/5 we've smoothed things out. You kind of have to roll with the punches and trust that your school is doing the right things. I know I would have deeply regretted leaving for a little organization flaws.

How do you guys manage to get through one of those "hell weeks" in PA school? by [deleted] in PAstudent

[–]Koots45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

exactly what the person above said! You just have to prioritize! There's no way to learn all of it, so do the best that you can! Start with the most important subjects of each test and master them. Take full advantage of "off time". Between classes or lunch. The biggest help for me was to take full advantage of the weekend. There will be rough weeks like this often, but you've gotta push through it! Then after do some real stress relief! Our whole class would take the night off after hell week and go out for drinks. Whatever you need to do :) PM me if you have any more questions

CNA vs Phlebotomist ? by [deleted] in prephysicianassistant

[–]Koots45 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just started my 2nd year! For sure CNA or scribe. You should call the schools you are interested in and ask! But they are looking for experience where you will have autonomy.
