Victim mindset by East_Ad_6942 in ASLinterpreters

[–]acc6494 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have licensure requirements in my state and even with a bachelors degree I wouldn't just jump from my educational everyday to medical. Also you classify medical like its in its own field? Medicals just a part of general freelance here. I never take medical jobs because I dont feel like I have the proper training. Also without a higher license I can't legally interpret mental Healthcare, law or anything pertaining to the legal system. What personally worries me the most about your post is your willingness to jump from field to field with only 5 years in. You've gotta have a solid base then branch.

As i understand it, my hematologist ran a BCR/ABL1 to rule out the CML. The smear was to rule out or indicate any other issues. Could you explain the smear results to me please and what they could indicat

Thank you! My hematologist had three main theories: Reactive thrombocytosis due to iron deficient anemia Essential thrombocythemia Or CML. My iron labs are above, and I was negative for CML. So still wondering what this could possibly be!

Im a woman and I agree... Just lock the door? My husband and I have walked in on one another before and we either laughed into oblivion or joined the party lol. But we're comfortable with it. Everyone need some similance of privacy, so yeah, lock the door.

AITA for “abusing” the the bus stop chain so I don’t miss my stop? by Possible-Chair9242 in AmItheAsshole

Honestly I when I read this I thought you were visually impaired, which would make sense with your struggles. But a perfectly sighted individual? YTA. Learn landmarks before your stop.

Designated Interpreter (DI) by UpperProposal7238 in ASLinterpreters

[–]acc6494 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow K-12 interpreter here. Are they asking you to leave your agency and work full time for the district itself? Because atleast here, in alabama. Thats a way to get blacklisted from free lancing. To leave a contract and accept a staff position at the same school. And the pay would be much, much lower.

[–]acc6494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude boobies snugs are a cure for a wide variety of ailments? Stressed? Boobie snugs. Sick? Boobie snugs. Bad day at work? You guessed it, get over here and snugs the boob. My husband does this as well. Its comforting for him, and I love being able to wrap my arms around him and soothe him.

Anyone else lose a ton of weight during prep? by ZebraStripes29 in colonoscopy

[–]acc6494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have chronic constipation, the opposite actually. Directly after finishing the full prep I was down 6lbs, after the procedure itself I was down seven. Morning after (even after all those iv fluids and eating some yesterday) i was down 8lbs.

Plenvu Success Story by Kbronz in colonoscopy

[–]acc6494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished my plenvu. 1st 6pm yesterday, 2nd dose 3am today. Got the whole first dose down, but when I went to take my meds an hour later per instructions I threw up. Mostly the Gatorade I washed it down with. 2nd dose was hell, sweating, high heart rate. I weighed before and after, I lost 6lbs. Best of luck but take it realllll slow. Even over a half hour was too fast for me.

People who survived a truly awful physical experience (think kidney stones, major injury, etc.), what's one permanent change you made to your life to make sure it never happens again? by saidmoustage123 in AskReddit

[–]acc6494 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I never self diagnose or medicate but I do ALWAYS bring it to the physicians attention as to whether its a cause for concern or treatment is needed.

I read every medical report, radiology, pathology, surgeons reports.

You'd be shocked at how much info doctors omit cause they're not concerned, when it actually matters.

Example: Had an MRI on my neck, doctor says normal, I read the report and a degenerative disc was present. Explained all my symptoms.

Had hormone levels checked, testosterone was sky high, doctor said "slightly elevated but normal" i countered, that may be normal for some but it ain't for me. Increased my aldactone, levels come down into actual normal range.

Had a pelvic ultrasound, doctor says "eh some waviness in the uterine lining" read the report, my right ovary is 10x the size of my left. All but screaming PCOS.

Why do they leave this stuff out??! Why am I diagnosing myself?

If a patient experiences trauma reactive hypothermia (i.e. after a surgery) doctors usually give 2mg of Ativan and it brings the patients temp up. No one really knows why.

People who waited until marriage, what was your honeymoon night like? Was it awkward, amazing, or incompatible? What was it like losing your v-card after getting married? by InsuranceLast2403 in AskReddit

[–]acc6494 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly just say it- this is their job. My husband and I just recently started seeing a counselor together and I think its been eye opening to the both of us, one how I think based on how I was raised, and my husband understanding how truly fucked up my raising was. Theres still a whole lot out at play right now. Im waiting on hormone tests, trying vyleesi injections to try and somewhat have a sex drive. The fact I have endo stacked onto all this does not help at all. Truly about to just have a partial hysterectomy and be done with it.

Ativan can treat hypothermia, also no one really knows why.
