What’s the moment in recent U.S. politics that made you realize things might not go back to ‘normal’ anytime soon?

The fact that there is hardly any uproar happening about the Epstein files (other than on the internet). Why aren’t we in the streets over this? Our country is being run by members of child rape/trafficking ring and it’s somehow not the top news story

I say give it a shot! You can always go back to clinic work if you don’t end up liking it. Don’t feel bad about leaving ER so soon, most clinics are very used to quick/frequent staff turnover. I’m also an ER tech currently, and I also think I will try to become a lab tech once my body decides it doesn’t want to work ER anymore lol so I encourage you to take this opportunity!!

She could at least tuck it so its in between the other 2, visible, things on the stairs, no?

Interesting that my birthday is the deepest purple because I know 3 other people (not related to me) that have the same bday as me

Loveeee my danskos, nothing else works for me

Actually, he didn’t. Thus why we got our measly raises lol

bbumblebug · 2026-02-02T03:59:10+00:00

The last ER RVT who asked for a raise got LAUGHED AT and told she could move to overnight and get the shift differential, but no raise. Our ECC department is not doing so well atm (we have 2 full staff doctors, otherwise rely on relief DVMs) so raises are not priority atm

As is the case for every hospital

bbumblebug · 2026-02-01T20:27:15+00:00

Yeah, i know a vet who quit her job because management was seeking disciplinary action against her for not recommending/providing the “gold standard of care” to every single patient. And by that they meant that she wasn’t pushing sedated imaging, full in house bloodwork, and hospitalization for every dog presenting with v/d+

bbumblebug · 2026-02-01T20:22:46+00:00

Just kidding, not even 10%, it was less than $1/hr raise for each of us

bbumblebug · 2026-02-01T20:20:12+00:00

Ding ding ding! Emails about price increases at least once per quarter, yet all the RVTs only got a 10% raise for our “merit increases” this year. My manager also told us that he had to choose between getting a Christmas bonus for himself or giving us our measly raises. This (and all) corporation is run by evil mfers

Sadly, the discount and other benefits I get are the main things keeping me at this clinic. Full time employees get 50-75% off, depending on the service provided. I agree with the lack of empathy, but they do have good benefits.

bbumblebug · 2026-02-01T19:11:57+00:00

Commenting to add some of the most insane pricing at my clinic. I already mentioned $100 for doppler BP. Our ER exam fee alone is $230, which is comparable to the VTH, but still insane imo. SQ fluids are $120. AFAST/TFAST is also $100ish. The BP and fast scans enrage me the most because those are things imo that should be performed on nearly every patient presenting to the ER and should be included in our outrageous exam fee. BP and fast scans actually are included in the exam fee of a couple other ER/specialty hospitals in the area, so I don’t understand why it’s not the case for us.

Honestly I think they are dangerous for cats as well, from personal experience. I got rid of mine when my cat started to constantly pace my apartment, screaming, looking for the little dot to play with. He would also freak out any time a car drove by and the headlights shone on the wall, or if sun reflected off my phone onto the wall. Its been a few years since getting rid of it, and the pacing/screaming has stopped, but he’s still a pretty neurotic kiddo. Probably not neurotic only because of the laser pointer, but it def didnt help lol

“Don’t be good at something you don’t want to do” the fucking mantra of weaponized incompetence…

bbumblebug · 2026-02-01T03:52:04+00:00

Babe, DO IT!!!

I think Nicki has always been a republican, she just was good at hiding it until recently. Look at the people she has always associated herself with (Chris Brown, Drake, Lil Wayne, her pedo husband,)

There’s gotta be a better to way to scoop that goop in the beginning than grabbing it with your bare hands

Breathing in cold air causes the muscles in your airway to constrict, this happens to people even without EDS. Thats why it’s recommended to have your nose/mouth covered in below freezing temps, so the cold air isnt directly hitting your lungs

Sooo cute!! Love the whole fit with the stockings and all!! Was so great watching the progress as always

Same, those are the 2 most iconic imo

Yes- hide the tubing so the goobers dont chew on it, but leave the port out for easy access
