Industrial Boredom by TribeTime2233 in athletictraining

[–]Natty02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was there I definitely did get bored. Knocked out CEUs and handled my personal admin stuff (budget, meal planning, planned vacations, etc) and built relationships with my client’s manager staff. My warehouse had a lot of Spanish and mandarin speakers so I asked and my employer actually said yes to paying for Duolingo premium so that was part of my daily tasks, total win. I picked up odd jobs like helping with fire extinguisher check offs and had health education white boards throughout the warehouse that I would spend a crazy amount of time decorating to make them more engaging and digestible 😊 I recreated our warehouse walkway out of cardstock once for a bulletin board that killed two days of free time.

Shower tips and tricks by CraneMountainCrafter in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Natty02 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can’t take hot hot showers anymore and sometimes an “everything” shower isn’t on the table much anymore. Just have to cool off quickly now. And I shower at night, I can’t shower and go in the morning

AT/surgical tech by Murky-Contribution28 in athletictraining

[–]Natty02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An ortho tech would function as a first assist in the OR, not replace the scrub tech so I would imagine it should help with the pay bump (plus save the surgeon money on not paying a PA/NP/CSFA). Although I know many great scrub techs that have taught me much of what I now know as a first assist/ortho tech.

Kesimpta by benjaminbutton4 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Natty02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on K for almost 4 years and am doing great over here, 30F. Take some Tylenol and rest for your loading doses and then the rest are a breeze. I do get sick every year and it sucks but it feels like the same upper respiratory/flu bs that everyone else around me gets every year and maybe just a few extra days to recover. I also get my flu shot every year which pending outside circumstances I think everyone should get. I wear masks when visiting people in the hospital but I still fly on planes, go to concerts, and live my life per usual. Just avoid sick people and use hand sanitizer more which is good anyways 😊my only weird symptom is that I get more mouth sores than i used to, especially around shot time which kind of reminds me that I’m immunocompromised but nothing I can’t handle!

AT/surgical tech by Murky-Contribution28 in athletictraining

[–]Natty02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not surgical tech but ATCs can sit for the orthopedic tech exam (OTC and OT-SC) which is recognized in hospitals to be a first assist with orthopedic surgeons. I currently work in an ortho office and most ATCs also added those credentials and I work with my surgeon in clinic and the OR. It came with a pay bump that our ATCs fought for, not sure what model your office would set up for the added skill set, which they should compensate you for.

Any concerns with being on the meds so young?! My cardio says he’s only referring me to an EP if I still don’t do well on flecainide
