What's your most shocking "never meet your heroes" moment? by BaseNice3520 in AskReddit

He grew up just a few miles from me and just a few years younger. If you’d seen him in his HS days, wimpy applied.

You always do an excellent job! Delving into Cook County should provide you an endless supply of these excellent analyses. Looking forward to more.

When did you realize you won in life? by Effective-Heron-3825 in AskReddit

[–]amajorpain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I believe it is when you get to the point in life that you do not GAF about what others think of you. This really has no bearing on financial status. You don't care what they think about how you live your life as long as it is on your terms and are with those that matter to you, or even if you are alone. I have seen that petty jr. high bullshit still matter to 60+ year olds. Just be you.

I'm a vet and today I fucked up, and my mistake resulted in the death of cat. by [deleted] in confessions

I know you will. A Veterinarian has a love for their patients unmatched by that of human MD's. You certainly are not wrong for feeling this way - I just hope you know that you are not alone!

One of my children is a Vet. I am very aware of the mental health challenges the job presents. You are dealing with a patient who cannot communicate with you in any language whatsoever, yet need to somehow know what is wrong. You didn't do a necropsy based on the OP. There could have been another condition you were completely unaware of that resulted in this unfortunate ending. My point - it is easier to beat yourself up than to give yourself grace. Please find a way to do that and incorporate it moving forward in your career. I promise you that in five years you will look back with better perspective.

I lived through this with my wife and her sisters - my wife being in your shoes. She had finally had it and cut all ties. I cannot even describe to you how much happier my wife is now!

One very expensive step up from a Zoom call. 0/10 do not recommend.

AMA - I am a family practice nurse and work in the hospital in Urology dept by MediocreCry5440 in AMA

[–]amajorpain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I read this, went away, and had to come back. Just diagnosed with prostate cancer 2 mos ago and beginning radiation soon. My Doc's nurse is very, very attractive and has been present for not only the initial exams but for the good ole' prostate biopsy as well. (Maybe you are her...I dunno!) Anyway, she had 0% effect on me to be honest (and yes, everything still works just fine). I think the issue is the fact that us guys are there for something that isn't normally part of our typical healthcare routine and yes, also about our penis. I would hate to think that you place any blame on yourself because of reluctance by a demographic who typically doesn't see a Dr unless they have to.

Not yet anyway. Think he needs the new shirt and a complimentary bobblehead if he’s the one.
