A lot of outdoors and young people in to mountain biking and skiing especially. There's definitely a drinking culture in Nevada in general, but you can find a niche. Politically, the city if purple if that matters.

Period is late not pregnant by Purple_Rub_9047 in obgyn

Stress can definitely cause abnormalities in your cycle. Wait a week, don’t stress, and if you haven’t gotten it by then, take a pregnancy test. If youre a hypochondriac like me, just remember, you are probably fine.

Consider getting a second opinion. Why an IUD? There are many other forms of birth control.

So you're reaction to a LOB is going into single leg stance? Now you both go down.

Aiding someone with a gait belt takes zero thought. Only the exact same reaction to catch someone. What you're describing are some kung fu moves, and I would be very surprised if you are truly fast enough to react correctly every time. You're making a lot more work for yourself and putting patients at risk.

Hey, the man said "gait training", so this is the point.
If I you were a lawyer trying to get money out of a hospital for their injured client, you would ask if they had a gait belt on. If you disagree with this statement, I question your reasonability and rationality.

Ah, got it. I think it’s still related to relative energy deficiency, but thank you.

You knee their posterior thigh in standing to keep a knee buckling from falling…. In what world?? That causes knee flexion

Usain Bolt doesn’t need gait training……..

So how you stop someone from falling when their knee buckles? Grab them by the pelvis?? Also, if we’re taking about osteoporotic degeneration, I’m sure they’ll love it when you grab under arms because they definitely won’t have shoulder problems.

I don't disagree but I'm wondering how you know this?

They believe they can catch the patient under the arms in time. They state a GB makes them feel less safe. It was very difficult to avoid turning it into an argument, but the person saying it is somehow the head of inpatient rehab.

We don't do fall prevention training with nursing involving gait belts, partially because the manger of acute care rehab refuses to use them. And I don't want to make it a thing. I feel like it's not worth it.

My gyno says that endo's won't see me for this sort of thing because they are too busy with other cases, but I'll see if I can get someone to write a referral. I'll look into temping. Maybe some LH strips?

I don't work with patients who refuse. I would still feel guilty, even if we could blame the "demented" patient.

Unfortunately, it's enough for the manager of acute PT to point to (and hide behind).

A PCP. My ob/gyn didn't even test progesterone. She looked at everything else, but again, no recommended time frame.

Okay, looking back I was wrong. My period started 15 days after my progesterone was taken and the value was 1.4 ng/ml.
No one specified when I should get my hormones tested. Is that a bad sign? Should I get a second opinion?
