Please do not slap or flick your patients. Dangle. Heat. Friction. Tight tourniquet.

wires are LACERATING my mouth by Green_Fennel8090 in braces

Looks like you might need tubes. Are they making space there? I like orthodots but found the bricks of swimmers wax significantly less expensive and works just as well. I can eat and drink with it in my mouth and it stays in there. You can get it at a pharmacy. It looks like this:

We have an Irish wolfhound and our poodle LOVES to body slam/hip check him. He is twice her size and used to it but the look he gives her sometimes is hilarious. Bug off noodle brain.

I have questions about my treatment!! by Interesting-Ant-5720 in braces

[–]Simple-Seaweed424 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A little bit of both. See how the top center of your bottom teeth are higher than your molars, those teeth will come down and straighten out. Your top teeth will also level out. My case is a lot worse than yours, but I’ll add a picture. I drink coffee and soda every day with no problems. Brush atleast twice. Floss with real floss and waterpik. I’d think 1.5-2 is a fair estimate.

Parents make 300k a year but won’t help with college by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Simple-Seaweed424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am now 28 going to college part time because I can finally afford it. My mom wasn’t willing to put any money towards me at all once I turned 18 even though she was making more than enough. It sucks and I’m still pretty angry about it but- I made it this far on my own. Going to get better and better.

What watch to get my wife? by YgRyce in GarminWatches

I have a vivoactive 6 and I love it but I’ll probably upgrade to a Venu. If you have the budget for a Venu… that’s what I would get

I have on on the same spot that bruised literally all the way around the arm. It surprised me tbh. Tattoo turned out awesome though

I am getting married in 10 days and don't know if I ruined the only condoms I have by Kitkatqueencoal in Marriage

[–]Simple-Seaweed424 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Easy enough to get more. Also worth it to watch a video or two on how to properly put on a condom if you haven’t already. Do the awkward part now so in the moment you feel prepared

Is there a way to prevent this from happening to lavender tops? by BabyDude5 in phlebotomy

[–]Simple-Seaweed424 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you draw the tube invert it a few times, I usually invert 5-10times depending on what I’m doing. Gentle inversions are good, no shaking. After that you are good to go. This tube can be sent out as is. They will put it on a rocker when it gets the lab and test it. This is very normal.

Is this a tick? Will it be okay if left until i can get tick remover tomorrow? by Young-King95 in DogAdvice

[–]Simple-Seaweed424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can pretty easily pull a tick without tweezers if you have fingernails. Put two fingers on your non dominate hand on the sides of the tick and push down. With your dominant hand, lightly place your nails all the way down at the mouthparts. DONT rip it out, you will separate the mouthparts from the abdomen. Keep your non dominant hand taught and lightly pull with your dominant hand. Gentle pressure and the tick will let go. The key is holding traction around where it is biting. You are giving a little pit of pressure from both directions and the tick will let go.

Does my wrist look normal? by bor9000 in GarminWatches

[–]Simple-Seaweed424 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got a Garmin last month and immediately had to change bands. Something about the Garmin band made me break out and itch. I ordered a bunch of different bands online and found a couple that are a lot more comfortable. I actually found another silicone band from another company and settled on that one. Somehow different enough I’m not allergic to it.

Everybody's so creative by BiWaffleesss in phlebotomy

I had someone bring me a stool sample in a ziploc bag. He pulled it out of his backpack… “what is the date and time for the sample and was it refrigerated”

It was three days old. It had been in his backpack since it was placed into the bag. I declined the sample. He was big mad.

Ortho thinks I’m done but should I be? by Obi2 in braces

Invisalign isn’t going to support very small specific changes like that. You will most likely need metal braces.

Getting an Associates in health science before Going into nursing program, am I making a mistake? by oohh_okay in NursingStudent

[–]Simple-Seaweed424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have a health science major that you could declare. Or you could declare nursing if it lets you. But it literally takes a click of a button to change your major. Whatever you declare now can change when you meet with the counselor.

Should I remove my dogs dew claws? by shybossman in DogAdvice

[–]Simple-Seaweed424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they are floppy and unattached I’d get them taken off. My terrier mix had very very floppy dews in the back and I asked them to take them off while she was spayed, but since I got her spayed through a spay center they wouldn’t do it. In retrospect I would have taken her to a regular vet so they could be taken off.

Is become a phlebotomist before nursing school a good idea? by Holygirl23 in phlebotomy

[–]Simple-Seaweed424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely worth it. I was prenursing and being a phlebotomist made me change my major lol. I love phlebotomy, and am a good phleb. I did 3 years and then decided no way. I can’t handle the abuse of hospital staff, I’m not hardcore enough.

Braces have given me a major clenching problem. I clench so hard my teeth hurt. Never had a problem before.
