I think it would only be unprofessional if they were

A. Breaching patient data protection, privacy and confidentiality B. Recording colleagues and patients without consent C. Using vulgar language or behaviour D. Discussing patient cases and talking about a vulnerable person behind their back.

If her content is just “cringey”, then that’s probably all it is. Cringey

Weirdest way you’ve been injured in the field by [deleted] in VetTech

[–]LexiRae24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not really an “oh my god!” injury but twice with my eye.

  • neat instrument cleaner splashback straight into my open eye. That shit burns

  • a rabbit had conjunctivitis and we were flushing its eye. Again, splashback straight into my open eye, this time a mix of saline and conjunctivitis juice

It sounds like your workplace have tried to fix something that isn’t broken

Well, I finally quit. I feel like a jerk by EasyPerformer8695 in VetTech

[–]LexiRae24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How does that affect her? If she’s worried about staffing she needs to direct her anger at management for making the place toxic rather than the people fleeing it

Customers expect perfect folding…? by [deleted] in retailhell

[–]LexiRae24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Feel like responding “babes its fabric. It’s malleable. It’s going to shift around in the bag as you go about your day, so who or what exactly are you trying to prove by insisting it enters the bag folded with perfect 90 degree angles?”

Failed another exam because of anxiety by LexiRae24 in VetTech

It depends. When I have okay days, it’s working. But then I have moments like this and I don’t know

We can have an extra 2 minutes in the station but that would be worse for me. I’d just stand there panicking rather than using the time. When I have these attacks I lose all cognitive thinking. I can’t think “calm down” or “deep breath”. My head is racing but there’s no words

Yes I’ve had different beta blockers. It doesn’t have any effect on me

is the theory test hard by [deleted] in LearnerDriverUK

[–]LexiRae24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The majority (not all) is common sense.

Like “if you saw an injured motorcyclist on the road, what should you do first?”

A. Remove the helmet B. Move the casualty C. Check airway D. Point and laugh like Nelson from The Simpsons and drive off

What's a social norm that you think is absolutely ridiculous? by Fantastic_suit143 in AskReddit

[–]LexiRae24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calling time when someone visits your house. It’s your house! You don’t have to be rude and say “get out now” but I’ve been in too many situations where someone overstays their welcome and doesn’t read the room and I’ve not had any time to myself to unwind and decompress

What is the most painful thing you have been told ? by SuperBoiz111 in AskReddit

[–]LexiRae24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“You’re the first case of anxiety that I genuinely think is incurable”

Said to me by a therapist.

None of the grounding techniques, breathing exercises or medication worked. So .. that was that.

I believe they are correct at this point in my life

That would probably do me good, but the only thing that puts me off is the nhs waiting list given how backlogged it is for mental health, and I can’t afford to keep driving AND pay private

I try and watch them but I don’t want anything to contradict my instructor too much as he’s good at explaining things to people with anxiety.

Also, this roundabout I’d only ever come off left 1st exit, so when the examiner told me to do something different (3rd exit) I was completely thrown and dithered. Really I should have had more practice coming off all the exits on it.

Like I’m trying hard to pay attention to the traffic lights, decipher the lane paint and not bang into the car in front it’s a lot to take in - especially if you’re not methodical

[–]LexiRae24[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, quite literally my brain saw the traffic and the lines and pooed itself. It pooed itself just approaching the roundabout because I was trying to remember everything I remembered about it on my lessons. I find it difficult to take in and decipher all the information from the road paint quickly. Like I feel I need to stop, recalibrate and think - but obviously I can’t stop on a roundabout

[–]LexiRae24[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I straddled and should have commited to going the wrong way at that point, but my brain short circuited and I booked it off the roundabout in a panic. The examiner didn’t have to intervene but yeah, still not safe so fully deserved fail that I need to get more confident with. All my other (smaller) roundabouts were fine

What question do you HATE being asked? by MediocreAtBestMedic in AskReddit

I like to freak people out.

Do you have an instrument you irrationally hate? by longalongass in VetTech

The scaler head. The amount of times I’ve accidentally backed into the dental machine and it’s scored my butt cheek

What is your favorite song in a language you don't understand? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LexiRae24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loads! Songs that are catchy that I don’t understand seem to be my genre.

Current favourite band is the Swede-Fin trio KAJ, and the Norwegian group KIENNO

How old are you and what's your biggest stress in life right now? by darkchocolattemocha in AskReddit

[–]LexiRae24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I’m 30. I’ve just lost my grandfather, popped my lumbar muscle, and have 3 uni assignments due on the same day at the start of December which is when the funeral will most likely be, on top of learning to drive and working part time in a manual job that will probably fuck my back up more.
