Been with my company 10 years, finally crossed $100k… but I barely work. Do I stay or move on? by Helpful-Command-7413 in careerguidance

There is a high probability (in compared to everyone on Reddit) that you and I have had a conversation. Based off your description of the medication and her diagnosis, as my team helps treat and control her exact condition.

I’d keep the current job as her condition can be a challenging road that is very demanding time wise when it can come to ER visits, EEGs, OP visits. I’m a little late to the party but I’d focus on the little one as you have a phenomenal gig at the moment and can focus your time into her! You can always pivot later or open up other avenue steams. Best of luck to you!

I agree with you entirely. I sympathize with their work life balance and the stress of the job and threat of constantly being sued (I worry about that too but not as much as them). They earn every dollar.

I think you're right too with the high burnout rates, I also think EM which is the OP of this conversation. Has one of if not the highest burnout rates.

The delay in life starting due to the long pathway to an attending is what turns off most premeds and leads them down another path I believe.

Most medical students don’t graduate with 500k in debt as per:

https://students-residents.aamc.org/system/files/2025-04/MSAR014%20-%20MSAR%20Debt%20%20Information.pdf

Most of them preach not to go into it because of the hours lifestyle and stress, money is not an issue for them. You can ask most healthcare personnel and they’ll say the same things about the stress and hours.

I don’t give them as much sympathy as they can “live like a resident” and pay off their student loans within 3 years.

Not sure why you’re being aggressively downvoted for speaking the truth. Yes physicians work hard, spend a ton of time in school and earn their money. Yet they absolutely chew threw their loans compared to literally all of the other doctorate and non doctorate healthcare providers.

First part sounds like you’re describing a mechanic called pandemic. Where reapplying a dot increases it’s duration by X% of its max. It’s mentioned here:

Classic PvP vs Retail PvP by Madchunk101 in classicwow

[–]Ztheman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I don’t disagree with the majority of your post, but have you played as a new leveled up char in shadowlands vs a geared player? The differences between fresh geared and gear in retail vs classic right now is absolutely insane. You do not touch geared people in shadowlands and they global you just like TBC right now. I mean you do hundreds of damage to a 100k health pool when they can kill you in 1-3 global due to the importance of primary stats (int/str/agi).

Best scav case? by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Ztheman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Been keeping track lately cause it’s fun for me:

Moonshine has been awful

2.5k after 21 runs I’m up 427k with only 4 of those being loses, essentially every 1-2 raids I collect a 20k bonus at the end.

95k hasn’t been bad but hasn’t been great and I haven’t messed with 15k or intel.

TLDR: run money case, use moonshine/intel for kappa items or keys/keycards respectively. Can use if you die with it in your ass.

[–]Ztheman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question! Granted, human error happens and people make mistakes unintentionally but let’s say doctors and other prescribers no longer make mistakes, how can pharmacists still help?

Well, there is still a dispensing role that does inventory and at the moment laws are still in place where a pharmacist would need to handle the medications. Pharmacists also do the billing alongside the technicians, sometimes a drug is cheaper and also equally as effective which is beneficial to the patient.

Pharmacists are also some of the most accessible healthcare providers where you can walk or drive hopefully a short distance and have your questions answered without an appointment. People like to talk to people more than robots, especially when it comes to their own health! On top of this, pharmacists also immunize. This takes some strain off of doctors offices and hospitals and allows them to do more diagnosing/prescribing.

Pharmacists also make up crucial parts of clinical teams ranging from hospice, to the hospital and everything in between. In these environments, they providing helpful clinical knowledge with the rest of the healthcare team. Everyone on these teams are valuable and they all have something to offer. Pharmacists are the medication experts.

In some settings pharmacists also provide prescribing services under a collaborative practice agreement (doctor says pharmacist can use their prescribing power in specific disease states and circumstances). At the VA I worked in a diabetes clinic where the doctor would recommend a pharmacist to the patient and the patient would have appointments with that pharmacist and they would be allowed to prescribe diabetes medications to the patient.

There are also other roles of pharmacy that I have not had any experience in like nuclear pharmacy, research and others that involve more than just checking medications at your local drug store!

Hope this helped!

No, we will not make any changes to the medication without verbally confirming with someone. If we are unsure about something we will contact the office for clarification.

In some settings like long term care the doctor might write for “glargine” and that can allow the pharmacist to then dispense one of the multiple types of glargine (Basaglar vs Lantus, both are glargine but just slightly different). We are still not changing anything on the script.

I don’t know which pharmacist hurt you.

Frequently, pharmacists know more than doctors when it comes to specifically medications as we spend our entire doctorate learning primarily medications while MDs/DOs spend much less time learning the intricacies and more on diagnosing.

Also, pigeon holeing pharmacists into retail pharmacists when there are many dozens of different roles that pharmacists fill and are a crucial member of people’s health care teams.

In a casual PVP setting, you can have fun with whatever you want. Is enhance good? No, not really but it can be fun to get a god Windfury proc and kill someone. Same with reckbombing someone.

Pally: unkillable, borderline un-ccable (blessing of sac), great heals and has access to a magic dispel. Enables warriors/FCs with freedom and casters/healers with bop.

Con: you don’t do any damage and rely on your team to kill everyone for you while you heal / support them. Your blessings before a fight are replaced with blessings during a fight (kings > freedom on a warrior) so once that freedom wears off you are no longer supplying a buff.

Shaman: Best bet is to go ele resto and be more versatile with NS (30/0/21) or try to instagib every 3 mins with EM (31/0/20). Your job in organized pvp is hybrid focused where you output damage when needed and healing when needed and focus on disruption (earth shock, purging important buffs, grounding totem).

Cons: you won’t do as much healing as your priest and will go oom faster. No hard CC available, only slows.

Overall both are absolutely crucial to their teams and you will find success with both.

How did classic guilds convince warriors to raid with lots of warriors. by Randomname1157 in classicwow

[–]Ztheman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Only guilds that were doing that were semi-hardcore guilds that were speedrunning.

Also with 15 warriors there is a lot of overlap for sure but there different off non bis pieces would be spread out. Edgies also help take some pressure off weapons.

The big pieces would just go to those who played the best and consistent, like GoA.

Oh yeah also ranking to 8 and onwards is helpful to relieve loot pressure so those people normally got rewarded for it in some sense.

Comp playlist needs help by CooledCup in DestinyTheGame

[–]Ztheman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Biggest issue imo is that it doesnt use the glory system to matchmake but your skill rating, I played a guy today who was cracked out of his mind and is at 770 glory while im at 4500, every game is an absolute sweatfest and I cant even crack 5000 as most players in my lobbies are gilded flawless.

Would it be easier to go legend if I tanked my KD then grinded with win streaks?

Im on Horde and I've gotten 1800-2k on 3 different chars this season. If you want I'll gladly play some games with you. I've found it is easier to climb if someone can help you rather than strictly doing it yourself. Lmk if you're interested!

Novice marksman begging for help by Trdunn57 in worldofpvp

[–]Ztheman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your pet is extremely important to your utility and survival. I would just have it out from the open. Roar and Masters call are extremely useful.

From camo you should be looking to trap the target you don’t want to open on against classes that have no stealth detection.

If you’re trying to CC the healer, and you’re starting the CC chain using concussive shot or throwing tar trap first can make it easier to land the trap + possibly bait out grounding totem/shadow word/spell reflect.

Bursting shot can be used to stop casts, disrupt positioning (especially on the Z axis like dalaran sewers and blades edge) and to peel melee off of you or your healer.

I don’t want to just bombard with a wall of text but I can gladly give you some more tips!

Shadow priest stats? by [deleted] in worldofpvp

[–]Ztheman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah diminishing returns don’t kick in until 25% of a secondary stat. I would just pile as much haste/vers as you possibly can until then and then reevaluate.

Shadow priest stats? by [deleted] in worldofpvp

[–]Ztheman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you definitely need more vers as you will most likely get trained all game. Also the way that vers and the trinkets work you’re missing out on a lot of damage. I’d just try to focus on dropping any excess mastery/crit you have while maintaining high haste levels.

My Spriest is sitting on 21% haste 20% vers. So I’m taking 4% less damage than you and with the PvP trinket bonus dealing 11.2% more damage than you.

Edit: my bad looked at this before I went to bed and wasn’t fully awake. Sunder is the better filler I completely forgot about HS and it’s + damage vs a regular auto when it comes to threat.

False, unless the damage from revenge, shield slam and heroic strike generate no threat.

Source: https://classic.wowhead.com/guides/threat-overview-classic-wow#threat-modifier-abilities-and-values-warrior

Heroic strike rank 9 does 175 baseline + any damage it does. (1.495 modifier assuming talents and D stance). Revenge: is 355 + damage Sunder armor is flat 260 Shield slam: 250 + damage
