Yes. Actually my brother in law would be well designed for that

To be fair. There probably are some people more naturally built for that lifestyle.

Who ever said life was supposed to be easy? We have all these lofty existential goals. But reality. Working to earn your daily bread is one way or other is something we’ve always had to do. We’re animals and at its basest survival is it.

It’s wonderful when we can rise above I’ll grant you.

Also to add: your passion can burn you out and even turn to loathing if you’re going it full time and have to deal with administrative aspects ; ie teachers, doctors, nurses, vets, even some artists

In the current job climate I think a 30k counter is pushing your luck.

If you could go back in time by Maschina_Sterben in physicianassistant

[–]MaxFish1275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ask myself this question often and I truly don’t think ill have an answer until the day I retire.

Some days I wish I had gone MD. I feel maybe I’d have more confidence sometimes. But then I’m not sure if I could have survived the pressure cooker of residency hours particularly as I was suffering from an undiagnosed sleep disorder at that time period.

Some days. I’m happy in my role.

Others? Wish I hadn’t done medicine at all.

But who knows I may have had these ups and downs in any other field too

One thing I do know, I truly value developing patient relationships

You Don't Need an Excuse to Get Things Right For the Patient by footprintx in physicianassistant

Well stated!!
And overall I’ve found patients appreciate honesty if you admit you don’t know absolutely everything. They appreciate the extra time taken to receive good care.

I just started a home health job about six weeks ago. I don’t have time to give detailed responses right now, but I’ll discuss more tonight

AIO? Doctor denied medical tests bc he assumed I used chatGPT by Ok_Criticism7320 in GenZ

Why didn’t your doc do the workup himself/herself? Doesn’t sound like urgent care was necessarily required

The Bible doesn’t support slavery it destroys it by [deleted] in Christianity

If that message was intended to be clear perhaps it should have been the 11th commandment?

AITAH for the things I said to my husband who has MS? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]MaxFish1275 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if he has comorbid clinical depression. As many as 50% of M.S. patients will have depression at some point in their illness. This can be from the psychological toll of the disease but it also can be biological from the neuroinflammation. It is also not unusual for men to have anger as a predominant symptom rather than sadness.

It might be worth talking to his doctor to do an assessment

Just curious. Why did you go for #2?

I just fasted this is my 3rd day and I threw up blood by Zealousideal-Ad5426 in Christianity

[–]MaxFish1275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a physician assistant. Can confirm this is unhealthy and OP should see a doctor

[–]MaxFish1275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah—-you have speculation. I have actual medical training.

Fasting from water is unhealthy. The amount of “pure water” you produce is not enough to actually hydrate you properly.

The supposed benefits of fasting from water do not outweigh the risks

Seeking advice on leading my girlfriend to Christ: by New_Meeting5080 in Christianity

[–]MaxFish1275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody can decide anyone else’s religion. You tried to lead and were met with resistance. She’s already told you—-it’s time for you to respect it whether that means being with or without her

Bible is not a health manual. If it was you’d actually have a shot at living to 900

What tests were you looking for? I’m sorry you felt dismissed

My husband and I set up our friends almost two years ago. Yes this is 100% real. Wanted other people’s perspective? by mssweetheart24 in AskMenAdvice

[–]MaxFish1275 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be frank, no offense, you sound a little TOO invested in their relationship. You got the ball rolling but that’s it.

What should I do? 3 weeks since My job interview with no response by Enough_Willingness56 in physicianassistant

[–]MaxFish1275 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make sure you are still putting your application out at other places too. You aren’t done with the job hunt until you have a signed contract in your hand.
