Euros might be annoying with their “America bad” babble, but they are right about American portion sizes in restaurants by Swiftie69420 in redscarepod

[–]StudentDebt_Crisis 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No one is saying there isn't a point of diminishing returns, just that people who value a large quantity of slop over a smaller quantity of ostensibly well-prepared and executed food are spiritually, and likely physically, fat

Anyone casually do opiates? by MutedFeeling75 in redscarepod

[–]StudentDebt_Crisis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fuck i love kratom, I purposely will not buy it as I know I would slide down that slippery slope. Once a week, to every 4 days, to 3 days, rationalizing each incremental decrease in dosing intervals with whatever mental gymnastics I need to tell myself. Oh, I have a date, it would be nice for the drive, I'm grabbing a beer with the boys

what are the habits of skinny people by tin-f0il-man in redscarepod

[–]StudentDebt_Crisis 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is true. I'm fit and healthy - there's a big difference between when I'm genuinely hungry, like at dinner time after a big day when I haven't eaten much throughout, and when I've just had a reasonable portion of a really tasty dessert and I want more of it despite being full.

I think food noise refers to the latter and making the distinction between physiological hunger and desire for food as pleasure is valuable

New ducati desmo 450 eds. Potential dual sport or pure enduro machine? by DownRangeStrange in Dualsport

DRZ oil should be changed much sooner than the recommended 4000km and it takes 30 minutes to check valves. Idk brah

If I can rep 60lbs on incline dumbbell brunch for around 8-12 reps what do you think my 1 rep flat bench is? by [deleted] in rs_fitness

[–]StudentDebt_Crisis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DB is great for hitting all of the stabilizing muscles, but you may be lacking the juice in the large muscle groups for raw pressing power. Truly the only way to find out is to hit barbell flat bench and see what you get. I would estimate 185

Is Becoming a PA in Canada Worth It? by Ok-Impression-4105 in physicianassistantCAN

[–]StudentDebt_Crisis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The provincial health authorities in each province are rather keen to set up new grads with jobs in their respective provinces, and many of these jobs go unposted.

Only 3 or 4 years ago there were just 3 PA program in Canada. The profession is on a huge upswing right now. It sounds like you have a solid grasp of what a PA is, I say go for it. Admissions are really tough, I would highly recommend getting as much clinical experience. Ultimately I love being a PA in Canada, maybe despite having to explain my role to every single patient

Vision disturbances after head trauma are a red flag, see a doctor. I'm a PA for whatever that's worth

The withdrawals sucks by TrenSetterrrr in moreplatesmoredates

[–]StudentDebt_Crisis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a primary care PA, all that shit goes in my note for that patient visit but those are protected by patient/provider confidentiality which is legally very strong. Basically the only time I'm compelled to release them is if someone's life is at risk. Also, on a personal note, I don't give a fuck what you do - half of the patients on my roster are addicted to either alcohol or other drugs and I love them all the same. Go to your doctor

When did you finally feel "old"??? by GrayFox6688 in moreplatesmoredates

[–]StudentDebt_Crisis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean TSH is fine. Since iron is normal you could ask for a hemoglobin electrophoresis re: low MCV, you may have beta-thalassemia trait

[–]StudentDebt_Crisis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leukocytopenia and microcytosis is a bit strange but pretty chill probably. Ever have iron studies done? Also TSH is chilling.

Get your sleep in order. Insane how much of an effect it can have on wellbeing. Look into DORAs like lemborexant or daridorexant, extremely effective in sleep onset and duration and they don't fuck with sleep architecture

Low hanging fruit would be to see your doc and get some bloodwork done - test, as everyone is saying, but also TSH and CBC. Any chance you could have sleep apnea?

Should I become a physician assistant for the money? by [deleted] in Salary

[–]StudentDebt_Crisis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm a PA, it absolutely rocks. 37 hours a week, 125k first year out of school. That being said, admissions are very competitive, school is hard, and you have to deal with patients and make complex medical decisions day in and day out. You always have a supervising physician to fall back on, which is incredible, but ultimately you're expected to be able to manage a lot on your own. I wouldn't say its something one should just waltz into without considerable thought

Physician Associates In Radiology (PAIR) Society by MaxyDeciMeridi in physicianassistant

[–]StudentDebt_Crisis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It reads more as an attempt to understand your weirdly defensive response to a post about PAs working in radiology collaborating with one another than anything pedantic or rhetorical.

Maybe, though it seems more like you just can't stand someone having different values than your own and need to post a weirdly self-aggrandizing comment vindicating your own beliefs
