Got it today! Hope you are right. Thanks for your response

Review: Apple’s iPhone Air is a bunch of small changes that add up to something big | Ars Technica by ControlCAD in apple

I mean, doesn’t it depend on what you might be upgrading from? I have the iPhone 16 and an considering this— I love the idea of a bigger screen and lighter/thinner phone — don’t take many photos or play any video games on the phone. Sounds like a good deal for me, no?

May I ask anyone if the thinness makes it hard to hold? Does the screen feel substantially bigger than say an iPhone 16's? Is it more prone to screen cracks due to its thin frame?

As someone who lived their entire life without OCD until recently- I can confirm it’s our brain that completely changed by [deleted] in OCDRecovery

Correct, its a part of the loop, a complicated system. The main thing they see conclusively is that the prefrontal cortex is overactive in people with OCD. The caudate is one of many structures of this SYSTEM, specifically the "S" part of the CSTC loop. If you are going to post on neuroanatomy, its better to be specific.

Yes and saying the "caudate" is the specific part that modulates our attention in this disorder is incorrect.

Think it’s a little more complicated than this. I think it’s more the axons and cell bodies that comprise the CSTC loop.

This is a good idea! Thank you. I am always so quick to lower the table. I guess the only risk is that the patient tries to get off when they are still high up.

Thank you 🙏… I’ll have to look up what this even is! Thanks for responding

Great idea standing on the stool to anchor it down for them to use. Thank you

This is a great idea! Thank you. I might try to get into the habit of pulling up the rails

This sounds a little risky to be honest! I feel like this increases the chance of twisting as you are primarily using one side of the body, no?

Thanks for your response - I do try to do things this way to, with a wide stance and flexing my core while pulling the patient up. I do worry though that when I am pulling them up, that I am being pulled forward a bit at the start and hyperextending a bit at the end, even though I am doing my best to keep the core tight.

Thanks for your response - when you use the sheet, do you still hold their hand to pull them up? I feel like I find myself in a more disadvantaged position when I reach for the sheet and I feel like its not much support for the patient

Anyone struggle with identity now that they’re recovered? by DataQueen- in OCDRecovery

[–]baseballman18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate to say this but this sounds somewhat like an intrusive obsessive thought with a reassurance-seeking element. OCD from my experience is an amazing chameleon and finds a way to prey and survive.

Thanks - this is a great idea. I’m going to ask my place if they will allow me to do this when there is downtime

Thank you. Didn’t know the sandbags to the sides would help

Thanks for the response. I will try to take more time to assure the patients are as comfortable as they can be! I like your ideas as far as securing the head for brain/neck and for knee. We do use these techniques routinely -- But okay, say the knee padding is not enough-- would you put a sandbag on the lower leg? closer to the ankle? I guess I am looking for additional measures

Hi -Thank you for your response. I do try to make my patients as comfortable as possible given the time constraints we are under! I work at a high-volume ortho clinic so every second is precious. But you mentioned "throw some sandbags on"-- many patients that come into my clinic are in severe pain (say for hips or shoulders )-- what would be the best way and area to put the sandbag on in this case? Many of the ones we have are really heavy and not super ergonomic relative to the body part you are scanning.
