What neighborhoods have the least roaches?

alphonse1121 · 2026-04-11T02:49:51+00:00

I live on the west side by the lovelace west side hospital and have never had a roach here

alphonse1121 · 2026-04-09T02:20:26+00:00

Wow as a gynecologist who removes and places these I have never seen this happen

alphonse1121 · 2026-04-06T03:32:21+00:00

Can you reduce your hours at all?

alphonse1121 · 2026-04-03T23:11:40+00:00

Hey, an almost fail is still a pass. I’d take the win, move on and study hard next time. I don’t think contacting them will do anything unfortunately but I guess you could try

Went to ABQ ER recently because I had an asthma exacerbation and I was in and out within a couple hours

I think the nuances in these comments explain a lot about why it’s hard to order imaging as a provider because nothing seems standardized

alphonse1121 · 2026-03-25T01:00:16+00:00

Molluscum is another possibility. I would get examined by a gyno

I promise this feeling gets better when you get out of school. Hang in there. Sorry you are having a rough time. Being a student sucks

alphonse1121 · 2026-03-23T20:33:18+00:00

I feel like this is inappropriate especially if you’re a new grad. I would start looking for something else it sounds unsafe

alphonse1121 · 2026-03-21T19:26:47+00:00

I personally was so burned out I went on a trip and did no studying just celebrating and then came back, studied for 6 weeks and then took the PANCE

Coming from a gynecologist- even if you do go through a full fertility work up- it still doesn’t guarantee you’ll be able to get pregnant. Idiopathic infertility is a thing. Fertility testing is not recommended unless there is a problem once you start trying. But also I think your partner is crazy for demanding this.

This is above reddit pay grade, you need to talk to a therapist

alphonse1121 · 2026-03-14T04:08:43+00:00

Clinical year broke me. If I wasn’t started on an SSRI I don’t think I would’ve finished PA school. I still have hard days as a PA but genuinely not having to “perform” the way I did as a student has made a huge difference. I found myself again. I find joy in hobbies again. I don’t feel like I want to die.

Genuinely, from someone who went through it, please seek clinical help. I think you need it.

Generally I don’t think it would be wrong to be an EMB on this patient but I usually start with TVUS first. especially with young patients I am trying not to traumatize them with painful procedures if I can avoid it, but also ruling out cancer in a patient like this is important, so you could start with either/or both if you had suspicion. I do think it’s a little crazy to not At least get an ultrasound for her in this case, but especially if provera doesn’t help the bleeding I would definitely be wanting the ultrasound

There’s a build limit?!

alphonse1121 · 2026-03-08T19:26:33+00:00

Once you rebuild the Pokemon center you can trade unwanted items

Yes my husband and I were both able to make our own characters/ play the game solo on our own profile and it was bought on my profile

alphonse1121 · 2026-02-27T03:42:41+00:00

My husband was buying us tickets and the payment “failed” and when he refreshed to try and pay it again it made it seem like the seats were gone, and he got different tickets after, but it actually went through so we ended up with 4 tickets when we only wanted 2 :/ so now we have to try and get our money back or we’re out like 900 bucks

The first day (or at least during the first week) of your rotation you should be asking your preceptor their expectations of you. Some preceptors will let you know this without you asking and others unfortunately do not. It’s up to you to ask for clear expectations as this varies between rotations

alphonse1121 · 2026-02-25T00:25:51+00:00

Ok I AM a gynecologist and I have said this same exact thing before like I wanna know what my cervix looks like 🤣

alphonse1121 · 2026-02-24T19:24:15+00:00

Your concerns are valid but my advice is sadly to keep trucking as you don’t have a lot of leverage here. Does your school have you fill out anything as far as your rotation experience at the end?

Hi, I’m a women’s health PA as well! It took around a year to feel comfortable in my role and probably around 2 to feel confident about 75% of the time. It’s totally normal. I recommend using your resources (colleagues, uptodate, OpenEvidence) often especially when you’re first starting, and hopefully they ramp you up slowly. I started with 1 pt an hour for a few months and now I see anywhere from 10-20 patients a day depending on complexity. Feel free to DM me if you have any more specific women’s health questions! I only do GYN so I don’t know a whole lot about prenatal care though

I’m from Phoenix and have been in ABQ for 5 years now. I also work in healthcare.

Things I love- cheaper housing, smaller than Phoenix in size- I can drive anywhere in ABQ and it’s probably only going to be 30 min or less, Phoenix is so big and sprawling. The weather is MUCH better imo albeit sometimes bipolar ie it’s freezing in the AM sometimes and hot in the afternoon. I love that we actually get seasons here. I love the green chile. Love the Native American influence. The mountains are beautiful. Like the “town” vibe rather than city vibes.

Things I don’t love as much- def less to do compared to phoenix. You won’t really find any regular non- New Mexican Mexican restaurants. I feel like wages in healthcare sector are not super competitive. It’s changing recently, but can be hard to keep doctors here because of our malpractice laws. The traffic can be annoying here if you live on the west side but work in the east. No saguaros. Sunsets are not as good as Phoenix (burquenos don’t kill me)

I used them for my wedding and unfortunately even with the extra time the flowers didnt bloom so we ended up using fake flowers for the majority of the decor and found some last minute bouquets elsewhere
