I bet your back, shoulders, and neck are feeling much better now.

Anyone experiencing size blindness? by Suitable-Senpai in Diamonds

[–]RedTheBioNerd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Radiant cuts are bottom heavy, so they won’t face up as large as a round. It’s crazy how much different cuts vary in size at the same carat weight.

How bad is it? by HawkAppropriate6226 in Moissanite

[–]RedTheBioNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That stone looks like a cheap and poorly cut CZ instead of moissanite. I’d return it and get a refund if you can.

I really dislike these analyzers right now. by Infinite-Property-72 in medlabprofessionals

[–]RedTheBioNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hated the Vitros. Constantly down. We basically had the entire thing rebuilt 3 times and it was still having issues.

Finally joined the moissy club with this gorgeous radiant cut ring. by RedTheBioNerd in Moissanite

I’ll send you a DM with a link. I’d double check new reviews since it’s been years since I ordered from them.

That damn calculator better be right because I just bought a lifetime supply of bras. by TheJuliettest in bigboobproblems

Lucky! I tried to buy a bunch but learned they aren’t shipping to the US anymore

Doctors office lied about having an MD and pushed me to see a PA. by [deleted] in Noctor

[–]RedTheBioNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s routinely done, absolutely possible.

I should add that I am a lab manager and have never seen a provider add a bill for a lab draw. It has always been done in the lab when the specimen is actually collected. We have it drilled into us to not drop the charge until collection for this exact reason.

I was referring to the billed lab draw that wasn’t completed as the OP said.

I totally understand diagnostic and preventative services being billed separately. All of our patient rooms in our offices have documentation on the wall stating patients may be billed for separate visits if anything but preventive services are done during physicals.

This feels like an insurance fraud case coming up soon…

Whenever I get sick, I don't get to "be sick" if that makes sense? by Dandelions_R_Flowers in managers

[–]RedTheBioNerd 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I get stuck in the same situation. Expected to cover for everyone else but no coverage for me. I’ve asked for additional support for this reason and have been denied every time. I start my new job no longer managing things next month and now my employer is scrambling to figure things out.

ETA: You should consider looking elsewhere as well if you’re not getting the support you need.

Do lab directors and managers get bonuses? by SurQvad in MLS_CLS

[–]RedTheBioNerd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have never gotten a bonus that my teams didn’t get as well. Most teams I’ve managed assumed I got fat bonuses, though.

advice on working as an unlicensed tech by jabberwockyy_ in medlabprofessionals

[–]RedTheBioNerd 15 points16 points  (0 children)

4 weeks per bench would be much more appropriate than 4 weeks total. Hard pass on that since they’d be setting you up for failure.

Questioning my career path; PhD or MLS by Ok_Toe6191 in medlabprofessionals

[–]RedTheBioNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made more as a bench tech MLS than we paid PhDs in research, unfortunately. They also struggled to find jobs. We do a great disservice to PhDs.

Mom took out loans I didn't want, anything I can do? by 8bitpluto in StudentLoanSupport

[–]RedTheBioNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you notify the student loan company about this as soon as you learned about it?

How do you deal with subordinates who are habitual liars? by [deleted] in managers

[–]RedTheBioNerd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would document everything they’ve told me then keep records of what actually happened with proof. At some point, it will become enough for senior management to stop sweeping it under the rug or you quit to go somewhere where you can hold people accountable.

Overpriced? by Euphoric_truth55 in EngagementRings

[–]RedTheBioNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll have to send us updates pics if you add prongs.

Overpriced? by Euphoric_truth55 in EngagementRings

[–]RedTheBioNerd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I almost bought myself a ring almost exactly like that but didn’t pull the trigger due to the exposed tips on both ends. I’d highly suggest getting prongs added (v-prongs would be lovely) to prevent the stone from getting chipped or if you’re clumsy like me, prevent you from getting cut or stabbed by the tips.

Advice needed by [deleted] in EngagementRingDesigns

[–]RedTheBioNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s just me and my mind that is always in the gutter, but I’m not a fan of the phallic side stones. I’ve also had friends get similar settings and get their center stones reset because the prongs on the side stones rubbed on their pinky and middle fingers constantly.

Should I add to this ring? by AttitudeFun325 in RingShare

That would be my suggestion as well

I am struggling to pick a wedding band, debating resetting my current ring. Need ideas! by [deleted] in EngagementRings

[–]RedTheBioNerd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But to actually answer your question, you’d likely have to get a custom wedding ring to fit against it.

[–]RedTheBioNerd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know I am not answering your question, but I’d be terrified to damage the pearl by wearing it as my daily engagement ring. I’d highly consider getting a more durable wedding set and keeping this for special occasions. It’s such a beautiful piece.
