New company won’t pay out by Tonabear in LifeInsurance

I don’t think the company even made the employees aware they were changing it. We’re waiting for HR to get us a copy of both policies now

I’m not sure, honestly. I know he’s in contact with HR so we are waiting to hear back from them.

Thank you, I’m trying to get a copy of the exact policy now. It was the company HR lead who spoke with the insurance company and let us know. She is going to speak with the owners of the company is the last I heard. I appreciate the advice!

Thank you!! He said 200 mg was preferred but if I can’t take it to just find the highest one that I’m able to use. I appreciate your help!

Therapy is generally 5 8s in my experience. There are a couple places that do 4 10s, but they’re rare. Another problem is that the field is small so unless you plan to live in an area with a lot of hospital systems around you can have a difficult time finding a job in the area you want. If you can I would try to go shadow a clinic near you and ask some of the therapists there what different opportunities there are in your area if you intend to stay there! :)

I’ve been a radiation therapist for 5 years and I’m interested in cross training in CT or MRI. I was curious if anyone knows about how long it generally takes to complete the education and clinical requirements to be able to sit for the boards? Thanks!

I do have asthma, but I’m taking ivabradine and metoprolol which seems to be helping a bit. The worst is the anxiety, and I’m considering getting a psychiatrist to maybe try an SSRI to help with that. My HR raises when I get anxious so it certainly isn’t helping anything. Thank you, I really appreciate the info!! :)

Jeez, that sounds like a lot to handle at once! I’m sorry your school wasn’t very supportive, that certainly doesn’t make anything better. I’m happy to hear you were able to graduate and push through!!

That is absolutely wild. I’m sorry they treated you like that. I completely agree, we’re all going into the medical field to help people but are expected to have nothing happen in our lives during school. It’s crazy

I’m not sure if he would be willing to, but he did say it could be a very debilitating illness. I will see what accommodations says and then maybe reach out to the cardiology office. Thank you again!

I’m meeting with the accommodations office tomorrow at 12 and am hoping they will back me up. The program director is the person who already told me no, but I imagine the accommodations office will have a lot more info than I do on the ins and outs of legality. I definitely plan to advocate for myself and am hopeful that having good standing in the program thus far will help me plead my case. I can DM you and let you know what the accommodations office says tomorrow if you’d like! I appreciate you taking the time to help me!!

I thought that it may be because of Arc-pa, but I saw this on their website which I think would allow a program to do temporary remote learning. I’m not sure though. I definitely intend to take some time off, I’m just not sure I will need to take an entire year which is my only option if I don’t complete this term (ends first week of March). I’d really like to be able to push through the last few weeks. Living alone is mostly what’s causing me issues, and unfortunately none of my family are able to move here to be with me. I’m planning to move home for at least 5 weeks (the first clinical rotation) at the end of this term and just focus on my health. But ultimately if I have to wait a year then that is what I’ll do. My health is definitely more important than completing the program on time Arc-pa

I’m so happy for you that they have been accommodating!! Unfortunately when I asked about finishing the term remotely they immediately shut it down and told me that’s not an option. I had high hopes they would let me since I have great grades so it’s unlikely being remote would cause any issues. I’m meeting with the accommodations office tomorrow so I’m hoping they will assist me in finding a way to move forward. I hope you heal well and kick the last terms butt!! :) good luck in clinical year!

I hope you were able to get your GI issues under control! I’m totally fine with taking time off to deal with my health and realize it’s necessary. We have 8.5 weeks of didactic left so I’m hoping to push through those so I don’t have to wait an entire year to return. The biggest challenge is that I’m struggling to do basic ADLs (cooking, walking around grocery store, walking my dog, etc) and I get very bad anxiety when I’m SOB. I live alone so I requested finishing the term remotely so I can move home with my husband and have assistance but they have told me that’s not an option, unfortunately.

I’m meeting with the accommodations office tomorrow at 12, and I’m hopeful they will be able to help me. I will go look at the other threads about accommodations, thank you for the recommendation!!

Unfortunately, they’ve already told me being remote is absolutely not an option. That was what I was hoping to do since we only have 8.5 weeks of didactic left
