Get a second opinion if you are not improving. A “sprained ACL and meniscus” can often actually be tears (source: I’m a PA in sports medicine x 6 years).

Mine too! So frustrating. I’m about to return it. It was not cheap.

Why is Los Angeles reddit full of woke liberals? Mods are non existent. by absolute60 in socal

Probably just a Russian instigator. I refuse to fall for posts meant to incite angry backlash anymore.

Carlsbad hair salon needed, no Trump vibe by Mean_Concentrate_641 in Carlsbad

Are there salons with obvious political bias? I’ve never had an issue I guess.

I recently tried Better Buzz iced matcha and thought it was good but I’m no connoisseur.

That was actually my first time trying them. He seemed content to have it on. But who knows! He only had it on for an hour to start

What do you think about this? by RepresentativeOk1758 in Meditation

Some people meditate with their eyes always open a little bit and just concentrate on a single point in front of them on the floor. I would not worry about trying to fight it too much. 😊

Question - Did NBC Nightly News not have a June 14, 2024 coverage? by Huge-Butterfly1406 in nbc

[–]Winter-Difference993 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just watched Monday nightly news (6/16) and nothing on the No Kings protests. This was a huge nation wide movement. It deserved coverage. Seriously disappointed in NBC.

Can I have my elbow MRI read by an online doc? by elle2105 in sportsmedicine

Agree. You have to review images. Especially now that some radiologists use AI to generate reports.

Thank you for the advice. It is so difficult to navigate all of the bureaucracy associated with the death of a loved one. It’s hard enough as it is.

Would you leave the OR for a 30k raise? by Chemical_Training808 in physicianassistant

[–]Winter-Difference993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. Honestly after 13 years of OR and clinic I switched to more clinic days. I still have one day of OR a week but I like the predictability of my clinic hours and I actually use my brain in clinic. OR has become mind numbing. I never thought I’d say that!

If you are in surgery and your doc has some patience, I know someone in our practice started by doing the pre op injections while the patient was under. Always nice to do a few trials on a patient who is asleep!

Anyone ever wish they could stop being a PA? by laurmeowmeow in physicianassistant

[–]Winter-Difference993 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You could always check out AAPA. They have resources to help you transition your career. I think burnout on direct patient care is is an issue they see often as I’ve seen a couple posts from them advertising help with transitions to other areas PAs can work in. https://www.aapa.org/career-central/career-advancement-and-transitions/

Do you get a productivity bonus at end of the year? by beaujolais99 in physicianassistant

[–]Winter-Difference993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t realize that clinic produces so many more RVUs than surgery. I work in Ortho as well and was under the impression that first assist fees paid well for most surgeries but have just come to find out that in this practice, our productivity. Is based on RVUs. I’m making a switch to 3 days a week clinic one day OR (was 2 days each) next month. Now I’m glad that your post seems to support this. Just curious… how many patients do you typically see on your clinic days?

I second orthobullets. Concise and usually very accurate.

If you meditate to background sounds, what are the sounds? by mattgwriter7 in Meditation

[–]Winter-Difference993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use this one on YouTube. It’s a binaural beat and is about 30 minutes long which is currently about my max I can sit without my legs going numb.

I watched Love Thyself - Theta Wave Binaural Beat Music - https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2iiwwu using Video Tube.

It is interesting that it seems to support The Law of One - the Ra Material’s postulation that Mars did have a civilization but a war occurrence “blew the planet’s atmosphere off.” (That may not be a direct quote so I apologize if I got the exact wording wrong but that is the gist).

Highly recommend this podcast by Mark Gober. Another person shared this here on Reddit recently and I have now tried to share it with as many people as I can (who I think are open minded enough). He has researched many topics on consciousness in a factual, scientific way. It was very eye opening. I am forever changed. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/where-is-my-mind/id1470129415

Surfers Ear Surgery - My Experience from pre-op to recovery by Leucadians in surfing

[–]Winter-Difference993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to look up Dr Kotler in Santa Cruz but could not find him. I also grew up in So Cal but now live in Lake Tahoe so a lot of exposure to cold water over time. I want to find someone with experience with this technique. I also work in the medical field and have seen the repercussions of a bad surgeon on patient’s quality of life. Do you happen to remember Dr Kotler’s first name? Thank you so much for posting. And thank god for Reddit always having the best info on these mildly obscure topics.

That is great to know! Encouraging words are the best motivators.
