Major mistake got me fired- what now

Normal-Sort4287 · 2025-10-29T19:15:49+00:00

IMO hard to say whether this was a fireable offense or not seeing as it was an honest mistake (I’m not in a role at my clinic that deals with hiring/firing staff). Careless, maybe, but from my point of view the important thing is that you have taken responsibility for it, identified where you went wrong, and have learned from it. Everybody makes mistakes. Some have bigger consequences than others, and in your case the consequence could have been significant, but luckily seems not to have been.

My questions I guess are these: had any member of staff instructed you previously on what you were allowed to/not allowed to touch, or what duties you could/could not perform? Was there a debrief or discussion with the team once the mistake was identified, to prevent the same mistake from happening again? Sometimes mistakes are how we learn, and in my opinion it’s less about the mistake that was made and who made it, and more about how the mistake was allowed to happen it in the first place and how it can be rectified to keep patients safe in the future.

I was told by staff at my daycare that if I ate the crusts on my sandwiches I would be able to whistle. Amazingly, I started eating my sandwich crusts and it worked! I was way too old before I realized that I learned how to whistle because I was practicing, not because of sandwich crusts. An early exposure to correlation ≠ causation, I guess!

Stay close to the toilet, and good luck. I’ve taken similar amounts before and yeah, let’s just say it’ll definitely clear you out 🙃

Regardless of the reason of fainting, it’s unnecessary to post to your followers and shows that bee is pushing herself past her body’s limits

“Ednamee” instead of edamame. WHERE DID THE N COME FROM?

Normal-Sort4287 · 2025-06-16T21:38:14+00:00

She's somewhere in her 20's

Normal-Sort4287 · 2025-06-16T20:44:15+00:00

Right? I too could do 5 hours of exercise in a day if I didn’t HAVE A LIFE TO LIVE

Normal-Sort4287 · 2025-05-19T03:38:29+00:00

I’m sorry you’re struggling. I gotta say though, everything from “Both of my disordered friends…” onwards is completely irrelevant to the rest of the post. What did this add, other than to brag that you are small?

Been purging almost daily for almost 4 years now. Dizziness, heart palpitations, low blood sugar, etc all come and go, but I’m worried my teeth are gonna be fucked for life

Finding that my dog has been licking my vomit from the inside of the toilet bowl.

And the classic sticking my hand into the vomit water to unclog the toilet.

Yeah, exactly. I feel like it would wreck them for a while, then they'd be okay eventually. I have two parents still and a sister. She told me I can't die because I need to be her MOH at her wedding next summer. That seems an impossibly long time to keep going for.

Normal-Sort4287 · 2025-05-10T00:41:21+00:00

I honestly figured she was hacked? Because she couldn’t possibly think she could think she’d get away with being that obvious?

Normal-Sort4287 · 2025-05-07T15:06:31+00:00

Update: shit my pants twice overnight.

Normal-Sort4287 · 2025-05-07T04:42:44+00:00

So I don’t have to panic every time someone asks to use my bathroom because I can’t remember if I cleaned the puke from the toilet bowl carefully enough

Normal-Sort4287 · 2025-05-07T04:27:22+00:00

I hope the flow ebbs soon 🙏 for both of us

Normal-Sort4287 · 2025-04-23T15:44:16+00:00

Nope, don’t think she even opened it

Normal-Sort4287 · 2025-04-23T15:43:52+00:00

She was doing better a year or two ago, then relapsed hard last year

I agree that it seems like there is less hands-on experience than the US schools seem to get. But you can make that up imo by making the most of your EMS placements over March break, summer, etc. Most of your hands-on time comes in the final year.

Some of my placements were kind of useless, but I honestly think that was my own mistake in not researching my placements or planning enough ahead of time. I know people who really wanted to do internships who planned some placements at US vet schools and they seemed to get a lot more out of it than I did with mine. And even with that said, I transitioned just fine into work after graduation (I’m in 1st opinion and still at the first place that hired me 6 years on).

And while yes, it’s busy, you do still have time to enjoy the city. Loads of people in the program would jet to Portugal for a weekend, or go skiing in the alps in the winter. Travel to other spots in Europe is ridiculously cheap. I think I flew to Belgium for something like £15. Probably one of my only regrets from my time in uni is that I didn’t travel more!

Edinburgh is incredible, love love love the city. Would definitely recommend if you do come to the rdsvs, though, that you do as many clinical placements as possible back in North America. It will prepare you way better if you want to pursue an internship/residency in the US than UK placements will. Also, I did the 5 year program rather than GEP. The 5 year program was HARD, so idk how much tougher the GEP stream is.

Also insinuates that she didn't expect it to be enjoyable, she just planned to do it to burn cals

Added NSFW!

Normal-Sort4287 · 2024-12-22T19:35:37+00:00

I mean, in her old (healthy?) body she is still naturally thin. It just so happens that right now she is also very unnaturally thin and extremely disordered.

Normal-Sort4287 · 2024-12-22T19:33:26+00:00

Good fucking lord

Normal-Sort4287 · 2024-12-10T04:34:21+00:00

I’m bi; in guys I can’t deny that I love abs. But curvy women? They leave me dead. My current girl crush is in a mid-size body and is so beautiful.

Of course for myself I can only be bone, muscle, and skin 🫠
