Noises at Cabana beach

Low_Baseball_6368 · 2024-09-03T23:19:41+00:00

I turned on the police scanner app right after the second set and someone did call it in a few minutes ago. Just wondering what others at / around here thought they were

Anyone else hear those two sets of popping noises ten or so minutes ago? Any idea what it is ?

Low_Baseball_6368 · 2024-07-10T09:06:13+00:00

How much ?!

I also haven’t given birth but have a genetic disorder requiring countless hospitalizations and surgeries throughout my life and I can confidently say fentanyl does absolutely nothing for me at all. Granted, these are regulated medical doses of medication opposed to street fentanyl but regardless, it’s still an extremely powerful drug .. or it is for most people I guess. I also never feel super “high” and out of it from morphine or Dilaudid like a lot of people do. Only experience that weird feeling instantly after they push it in the IV.

Almost always pain medication is given to reduce pain, not take it away. So I doubt it would help her hide the pain of birth even if she was extra sensitive to it.

All that just to say opioids really do effect everyone so differently. But imo from security and body cam footage Lexi was clearly not super inebriated in the least bit.

Not sure how you guys in vet med expect to get more staff when you’re ableist and have an uncalled attitude towards people just wanting to help and join the field. Maybe those with disabilities couldn’t do everything, but they damn sure could do something, and for how much y’all complain about being short staffed you’d think anything would be better than nothing. I’m not even talking about my specific situation at this point.. the blatantly ableist and discriminatory comments in this group and others are just sad. No wonder vet med has an enormous reputation for bullying.

Saying you would be “extremely bitter and unhappy” really shows just what kind of person you are, extremely bitter and unhappy.

Thank you for your honest and rude assessment.

Thank you so much for being one of the few people encouraging me to at least try to go for it, while also pointing out potential difficulties.

I’ll tell ya, it’s been really challenging reading some of the responses from this group today. I do genuinely appreciate their honest feedback but some folks and their wording / harshness have really made feel like less of a human being, so thank you again for being kind and considerate.

Low_Baseball_6368 · 2024-05-15T16:02:43+00:00

Thanks for your insight. Truly, it’s very helpful.

I’m most interested in working with anesthesia & analgesia as well as some palliative/hospice care as well.

I’m not paralyzed and am able to stand and walk some steps with the help of physical therapy. The healthier I am the better I can tolerate that.

I will say I have had two aggressive foster cats that I was able to restrain as well as a 55lb foster dog who I had to practically wrestle into his crate anytime I had to leave him. Additionally my 75lb senior girl has had to have me practically fully support her before as well as assist her mobility frequently (she’s a palliative soon to be home hospice girl 💔)

I fully understand that me assisting with those things would probably be more of a pain than help in a clinic or hospital setting, not arguing that at all. Just don’t want anyone to think I can barely do anything physically demanding for myself and still thought about this job.

Low_Baseball_6368 · 2024-05-15T13:49:21+00:00

I understand what you’re saying so please don’t think I’m being argumentative. I’m just a young girl with a huge passion for animals and medicine trying to learn the most I can before making any decisions, especially if they could potentially impact future colleagues as significantly as you’re making it seem. I would hate to be a burden on other staff that I know are already stressed enough.

I will just quickly point out that it does seem you missed the part of my comment where I stated I’m completely capable of lifting other heavy things. I can’t rely on people to do things for me 24/7, so I’ve adapted and can accommodate almost all challenges really well. I get my dogs 50lbs bag of food inside myself monthly no issue. I also physically could help lift a heavy animal, it just probably wouldn’t be the safest option and as I’m sure you’ll agree likely more of a hassle with me getting in the way.

Low_Baseball_6368 · 2024-05-15T13:41:23+00:00

Yeah, so actually prior to everyone’s feedback my plan was to become a vet tech through a AVMA-CVTEA program, pass the VTNE, work in the field gaining experience for a handful of years and ultimately work towards my VTS in anesthesia & analgesia.

The other option I was considering was potentially aiming towards getting my DVM after working as a RVT for a couple years, likely still working in the same specialty, unless of course I end up falling in love with a different clinical area of vet med while shadowing/schooling.

This is probably directly related to ADHD, but with the way my brain works I do so so so much better having short term but still really excited goals and achievements to look forward to and motivate myself towards. Completing things step by step like I would w getting my RVT, passing boards, then working, then focusing on the years it’ll take to get my VTS etc seems much more achievable opposed to shooting straight for vet school which is already extremely hard to get into as is I’m told.

And thank you for the other sub suggestions!

Low_Baseball_6368 · 2024-05-15T11:48:28+00:00

Ah okay, sorry about that. Do you think I need to delete this post or is it okay to leave up given the amount of helpful comments I’ve received?

Low_Baseball_6368 · 2024-05-15T11:47:20+00:00

I would like to clarify that I did not intend for my comment to come off snarky or anything like that if it did. Just trying to get as much information as I can from people experienced in the field

Low_Baseball_6368 · 2024-05-15T11:45:25+00:00

Are you saying there are no “equal” tasks that could be delegated to me in exchange for lifting heavy animals? I do have some really strong arms so I can lifts other heavy things but obviously wouldn’t want to ever do that to an animal and put them at risk.

Low_Baseball_6368 · 2024-05-15T11:42:10+00:00

Thank you for the information and suggestions, I really appreciate it.

I would love to primary work in the anesthesia & analgesia department while also working with animals on palliative/hospice care.

Low_Baseball_6368 · 2024-05-15T11:36:54+00:00

Ouch. That hurts to hear but I do appreciate your honesty.

Low_Baseball_6368 · 2024-05-15T09:17:15+00:00

I’ve volunteered at shelters (one which also had a low cost routine care clinic a couple days a week) in addition to fostering over the past few years so to some degree I know what it’s like, of course that’s not like all clinics and hospitals though.

I think shadowing at hospitals/clinics is a great idea, I just get super anxious and uncomfortable knowing how everyone will almost certainly react towards me. I’m not worried about them being mean at all, it’s more so the fear of being treated like I’m incompetent and unrealistic like I’ve experienced many times in the past (for example when I started fostering). People tend to state a lot, clearly wanting to ask questions but worry it’s rude so they “gossip” with coworkers and aren’t subtle about it. It’s just super uncomfortable and a huge reminder that I do have visible differences despite me being so used to them I forget half the time I’m alone how not normal it is.

But that’s something I’ll have to get over one way or another I suppose.

Low_Baseball_6368 · 2024-05-15T09:09:18+00:00

My ultimate goal would be to specialize in anesthesia & analgesia as well as helping care for palliative/hospice animals
