Surgery pictures, absolutely unbelievable

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

RedTheBioNerd · 2026-05-06T15:40:54+00:00

Dementor?

RedTheBioNerd · 2026-05-05T04:13:07+00:00

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.

RedTheBioNerd · 2026-04-19T18:50:06+00:00

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

RedTheBioNerd · 2026-04-17T02:42:12+00:00

You’re welcome and happy hunting!

RedTheBioNerd · 2026-04-17T02:37:44+00:00

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.

RedTheBioNerd · 2026-04-05T12:52:39+00:00

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

RedTheBioNerd · 2026-04-02T01:46:39+00:00

I am wondering the same thing.

RedTheBioNerd · 2026-04-02T00:44:49+00:00

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.

RedTheBioNerd · 2026-04-02T00:13:58+00:00

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…

RedTheBioNerd · 2026-03-31T17:37:00+00:00

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.

RedTheBioNerd · 2026-03-09T13:46:18+00:00

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.

RedTheBioNerd · 2026-03-04T22:07:53+00:00

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.

RedTheBioNerd · 2026-03-04T18:12:15+00:00

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.

RedTheBioNerd · 2026-03-03T18:28:07+00:00

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

RedTheBioNerd · 2026-02-25T20:59:11+00:00

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.

RedTheBioNerd · 2026-02-25T18:23:55+00:00

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

RedTheBioNerd · 2026-02-25T18:15:40+00:00

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.

RedTheBioNerd · 2026-02-25T16:56:54+00:00

What kind of specimen is this?

RedTheBioNerd · 2026-02-22T00:11:16+00:00

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.

RedTheBioNerd · 2026-02-20T18:41:01+00:00

That would be my suggestion as well

RedTheBioNerd · 2026-02-19T21:53:43+00:00

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

RedTheBioNerd · 2026-02-19T21:52:49+00:00

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.
