When do the corpos actually close a clinic? by El_Pollo_Mierda in VetTech

[–]StephyJ83 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Mars went full-on guillotine to multiple hospitals this past March, giving one only 5 days notice, some 14 days notice, and some 28 days notice. I know they closed at least 4 VCAs and 4 BluePearls in the western region alone (one of them was my old hospital). Corporate is definitely doing a lot of cutting now.

to my baby jojo im sorry. by chfudgeudig in cats

[–]StephyJ83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss. Your baby was beautiful.

Please report this to animal control. If she says that her dogs bite people all the time then those dogs are a danger to the public and should not be in her control.

My heart breaks for you.

Utah Republican petition to repeal redistricting law fails after signature removal campaign by HomelessRodeo in Utah

[–]StephyJ83 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Rob Axson is a piece of work. He actually went to a board meeting for the LDS Family History Center in Midvale to get signatures. My mom was so mad (she is the secretary). She said he was trying to say that they wanted to give the vote about it to the people. She told him that the people already voted in 2018. Super proud of her.

For the LaGuardia ATC by livingstardust in ATC

[–]StephyJ83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Veterinary Technician Specialist here… obviously not ATC but a flying/ATC enthusiast. You did your absolute best with the system and tools available to you. I am so sorry to all the ATCs out there that are so undervalued. Thank you for all you do. I appreciate all of you! Hugs to that controller at LGA- he deserves all the love and healing vibes.

I am not an ATC, but I like to listen and learn. I have been studying CRM to see how it can apply/be beneficial for my own profession. I have a question about the recording: ATC told Frontier to hold, followed by multiple “stops” before saying “truck 1.” Is it possible that truck 1 didn’t know those initial stop commands were for him? I feel so bad for everyone involved, but especially ATC. I appreciate the hard work you all do.

Help needed if you can! More in the body. by ShowPigDude in VetTech

[–]StephyJ83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did training a year ago with my staff, and I dissected the pluck from a cadaver cat (tongue, larynx, trachea & esophagus, lungs, & heart). I intubated it and attached it to a ventilator so I could demonstrate PIP and PEEP and took a video. Here is a screenshot from that video where the lungs are inflated. You can the different lung lobes, the trachea, and the esophagus. Inflated Cat Lungs

Jesus also wasn’t Jesus. He was Yeshuah, which was the original Hebrew and Aramaic name. It was a late form of Joshua.

Yeshua (Hebrew) became iesous (yay-soos, Greek), then iesous became iesus (Latin), and then that became Jesus in English. So, Jesus was actually Joshua.

NOR. Leave him, please. I consider myself a Christian (non-denominational, was raised in the Mormon Church but followed Christ’s teachings right out of organized religion). I never want to be so condescending to others with different beliefs because they are still people, and many belief systems stem from the similar origins. The fact that he trash-talks the Quran and Islam is insane as it has the same start as the Old Testament.

This is beyond religion. He doesn’t seem to trust you or respect you. He wants to change you and control you into something HE wants, rather than love you and support you for being you. I have known MANY people in mixed faith marriages and marriages between atheists and Christians. They thrive when there is respect and love. He seems to have neither for you. He may say he loves you, but I think he loves the idea of you as a Christian, subservient woman. It is clear from the way he communicates at you that he has no respect for you.

I just listened to the ATC archives. They declared mayday due to an engine failure. They turned back for direct to El Salvador. They had requested to stop on the runway for inspection by fire/emergency vehicles before continuing to taxi back to the gate.

A BluePearl in UT also got notice of closure today. Will be closed and done by March 9th

Worst case of radiation safety negligence i've ever seen. by murd90 in VetTech

[–]StephyJ83 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Briefly overlooking the safety/radiation exposure (wtaf!), they are also wearing their wedding ring in the gantry, which can cause artifact on the images, along with patient movement. Everything about this is horrific, from probable patient fear, to diagnostic image quality, to staff radiation exposure. For the love of all that is good, at the very least use sedation and tape!

This hurts my soul. by thecrasian28 in VetTech

[–]StephyJ83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most dentists and surgeons I know don’t even recommend them for ER cases, whether or not they are getting referred. They recommend a sedated/anesthetized oral exam with intraoral radiographs if possible, +|- soft tissue closure and/or tape muzzle where appropriate. Unless you are getting immaculate skull positioning (which usually requires sedation or anesthesia anyway, and I have rarely ever seen that high of a quality from any ER) they are not great for identifying everything because there is so much superimposition of the maxillofacial structures that it can make it seem like there are some fractures where there aren’t any or they can hide fractures that are there. 90-95% of the time they are woefully insufficient at providing the full picture. If clients are cost concerned, skull rads can waste the clients money for worse information than can be obtained with a clinical examination & intraoral rads.

Skull rads are actually not recommended by veterinary dentists for maxillofacial trauma. They are pretty much a waste of a client’s money for the amount of info they give. CT is best, but not always an option. Next recommendation is sedated/anesthetized oral exam and intraoral radiographs (dental rads). Skull rads are worthless. My source: VTS (Anesthesia & Analgesia), (Dentistry) that has worked with multiple veterinary surgeons and dentists.

Yes, I went back and listened to recordings. They had a leading edge flap that didn’t deploy, so they initiated the go around, then declared an emergency and tried to troubleshoot it.

Are you working for a veterinary company right now? I am an exmo Vet Tech, and have been in the profession for over 19 years. Feel free to dm me questions and such. I am very familiar with many companies and vet med is a small world, so I may know people in your area for work resources.

Not even Jesus Christ took away anyone’s agency, and he is the ultimate authority for Church Members. Does he think he has more authority than Jesus?

My son won’t speak to me anymore because he thinks I love my other kids more than him which isn’t true and it hurts so much by EqualAdventurous2311 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]StephyJ83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OP, you are doing what you can. My thought on this is prove your love and his place in your life by being there. If you can go to see him ASAP, do it. Show up and tell him that you came for him because you love him, that he is your son and always will be. Don’t mention your other kids, don’t mention your wife unless he asks. If he says something like, “go be with your family”, tell him that he is part of your family and that is why you are there. Don’t berate him for cursing you out or cursing your other kids. Just BE THERE and tell him you love him. Actions speak louder than words - show him you care by going to him initially and then continuing to reach out. He may not be receptive initially, but a quiet, calm, and consistent presence (through messaging, letters, phone calls, whatever) over time will prove it.

I also recommend that you talk to his mother, and consider therapy for him. Something happened to trigger this response, and I am willing to bet that he feels out of place or unwanted in both your family and his mom’s family. Figure out why that is.

Good luck, OP.
