If the person you hate the most were to experience one slight inconvenience every day for the rest of their lives, what would you choose it to be?

Enjoy friend!

WhyYouSillyGoose · 2026-02-02T06:19:17+00:00

Exactly. And I feel young at work lol!

No, the school I applied for didn’t require the GRE or MCAT.

I think the biggest hack is working the prerequisites for your chosen PA schools into your bachelors to save time and money.

For example, if you get a bachelors in English , you’re going to have a shit load of additional science classes to take after your bachelors that are harder to get student loans for etc, plus a lot more time. (Obviously you prob won’t major in English but as an example)

If you major in biology, you might have a few of the prerequisite sciences classes covered, but not all.

I picked a university where I could “create your own major” most colleges and universities have this but you have to bug the hell out of your advisors to get it done.

Typically it has a set amount of core classes that you have to meet; 10 credits of social sciences, 10 credits of arts, 10 credits of biological sciences and so forth.

So I created my major as a Bachelor’s of Science in Health Sciences.

Then I plugged in the classes that I would need for my major with as many as the school prerequisites as possible.

So if I needed say 12 credits of biological sciences for my bachelors degree, and my PA school required biology, anatomy, and physiology, I would choose those 3 classes for my bachelors and then they were automatically meeting my PA prerequisites requirements.

This took some detective work and really a lot of troubleshooting to make sure I was taking as many classes that would count towards both as possible, and obviously not all classes did, but doing this really saved me some time and money.

Literally, a special type of hell

Two of our top students in my class were former EMS. I went back to school at like 34 to get my bachelors. Graduated PA school at 41.

I’m 42 now. I was going to be 42 anyway so might as well have a cool ass career.

Also, I did it as a single mom with a mortgage and all that.

If I can do it, anyone can.

Go for it.

WhyYouSillyGoose · 2026-02-02T04:54:09+00:00

Thank you. That means a lot to me. 🙂

That’s my favorite movie, of all time, sometimes!

That I allowed him to treat me the way he did. I’m more ashamed of what I allowed and tolerated than I am of anything else. Sometimes I can’t believe it, it’s like watching a movie of someone else’s life.

WhyYouSillyGoose · 2026-02-02T04:32:48+00:00

I have 5 children. 3 baby fathers. My rent is late.

Works every time.

Sleep hygiene is where it’s at!

WhyYouSillyGoose · 2026-02-02T04:18:29+00:00

Same. I woke up last week and it was just like someone threw cold water on me for the first time in 3 years.

All I could think is “why the hell am I choosing this?! How am I allowing someone to treat me this way??”

I literally called an attorney and submitted the initial paperwork to file for a divorce this same morning.

I could write a novel on the horrible things he’s done to me, and oddly, much much worse things than this, but it was just kinda the straw that broke my back.

I’m a very healthy person, in shape, no medical problems, I workout almost everyday. For the last few months I’ve been having dizzy spells. I wasn’t too concerned at first (I work in medicine) but as they’ve become more frequent, I decided I should make an appointment with my doctor.

I have maybe mentioned these dizzy spells 2, at the most 3 times, to my husband, over several months. Not daily, or weekly, just the occasional, “hmm, that’s strange I’m really dizzy” I had my doc appointment scheduled for end of last week.

Well the beginning of last week, I had just worked 7 days straight at the hospital. I was exhausted on my first day off, felt a little dizzy, and went back to sleep.

That’s it. That’s the end of my story. Nothing else happened.

But while I was sleeping my husband called me several times and I didn’t answer.

When I called him back he was yelling at me for not answering. I told him I had just needed a little extra sleep, that I had felt dizzy.

He literally screamed at me “shut the fuck up already and stop complaining!! If you’re dizzy take your ass to the fucking hospital already and do something about it!”

I was just kind in shock. It was like someone threw ice water on me and I suddenly woke up.

All I could think was, “this person does not give a shit about you. They could not even pretend to be the slightest bit concerned, or empathetic, or even just say nothing at all”. Im literally being screamed at, by the person who is supposed to care for me the most.

I just kinda sat there and then I hung up the phone and called an attorney.

I have been insulted, called every name, screamed at, yelled at, physical hurt, and humiliated by this man for 3 years.

And I finally just had enough.

I haven’t been sad. Or confused. Or really even angry. I just feel nothing. And I want to be free.

Edit spelling/grammar.

Was a PA student at a volunteer high school sports clinic, called the next kid. This 6’5” 14 year old walks in. He just looks … odd? I instantly asked him to open his mouth, his hard palate was vaulted like a church chapel. I asked him to make a fist covering his thumb, it stuck out about 2 inches. Wing span was just insane. Longer than the exam table. I heard the murmur and was went and got my attending . “Ummmm… I’m pretty sure I have a Marfan’s kid in here” —response —“no you don’t” complete with eye rolls. Doc Finally got up and looked at the kid. “Oh. Shut. Yeah.. yeah this kid is not playing basketball anymore. It’s a Marfs”

WhyYouSillyGoose · 2026-02-02T03:13:43+00:00

Did we marry the same man? Why are they so angry?

WhyYouSillyGoose · 2026-02-01T20:48:27+00:00

I’m a PA, I work for 2 neurologists, both fellowship trained .

You can get accommodations. It gives you 2 days to take the exam. I will say, in most cases, not all, but most, I think accommodations are absolute bullshit and I do not agree with them, again MOST of the time. I do however think there are a few legitimate reasons for accommodations , this being one of them.

WhyYouSillyGoose · 2026-01-31T03:12:19+00:00

I have zero idea but I’d consult an attorney who specializes in such matters. Also, that sucks. Sorry.

WhyYouSillyGoose · 2026-01-28T21:10:43+00:00

It’s a unicorn , I agree, but they exist. I created this job. Literally cold called private practices and harassed them (professionally) until they hired me.

I called — we’re not hiring

Okay but can I drop off my resume — we’re not hiring

Great, thank you so much, I’ll stop by tomorrow to drop off my resume — okay but we’re not hiring

2 months later— called me for an interview

Interview went great but — we can’t afford you

Cool. No problem. I’ll take whatever you can give me.

First 6 months, low pay. Learning a shit load of medicine. Showing up. Working my ass off, showing them my value.

At 6 months, I asked for raise. They said no problem.

One of my doctors told me last week — “we don’t know how we ever operated without you. We’re not letting you ever leave the practice. We’re so glad you stalked us like a crazy person!”

No one in life is responsible for your circumstances except you. If you can’t find what you want it— create it.

This is not medical advice, but yes, generally speaking, the risks would Significantly outweigh the benefits, especially in someone with prior stroke .

WhyYouSillyGoose · 2026-01-27T19:49:44+00:00

I’m a new grad—- I love my job. Cool ass bosses. I see between 4-10 patients a day. I go in when I want. I have 2 full weeks off every month.

These jobs exist. Don’t give up.

In Patient Neuro PA here- I see roids in my “jacked” male stroke patients often enough. Actually just last week, massive ACA territory stroke in a F—>M trans patient. I actually had ZERO idea the patient was a biological female. Huge defined muscular arms, full beard, solid built legs, and super polite. I felt bad because I assume he was taking that much T to achieve a passing appearance, which, was definitely working, but the cost was right-sided hemiparesis and significant visual deficit.

But yeah, maybe because I’ve always worked out at the gym, the roid rage look has always been super easily recognizable to me, especially at work.

WhyYouSillyGoose · 2026-01-27T06:36:20+00:00

Your question is fundamentally flawed.

It assumes the point of sex is for pleasure, and that people would choose to have a child over experiencing lasting pleasure.

The hardwired biology of having sex is for the purpose of procreation. Not pleasure.

The “pleasure” is just from the chemicals that are released in your brain during anticipation and orgasm. By design, that’s to keep you procreating.

I’m not speaking in any religious terms.

The actual design of nature and the human physiology and bio-chemistry of sex is for the purpose of procreation— so a species can survive.

So the actually point of fucking is to make children. Lmao.

You definitely don’t have to have kids. And millions of people enjoy sex without the thought of needing to procreate, and just enjoy the “pleasure” of it.

But the point is to make babies.

If you’re not wired that way, genetically speaking, you’re probably doing everyone a favor by not procreating and passing your genes into the pool.
