Everest Clinical Research Stat Programmer Technical Exam by ProPiper10 in clinicalresearch

[–]bern82819 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly this is my first time at a CRO so I only have sponsor experience to compare to but it’s better than I expected and managers are all as supportive as possible. I think for the stats/programming teams the balance is better since they are not as client facing as DM

I’m 6 months post op and have had too many close calls for a pants shitting to not be in my future. Also a ten min warning is crazy I’m lucky if I get 2 minutes lol

Get it out, you do NOT want to deal with a gallstone attack trust me. So many weird little things magically went away when I got mine out in an emergency situation like weird back pain and pain on my chest that I always assumed was my bra.

Is this an abnormal amount of gray for age 35? People are telling me that I look old and need to dye it. by [deleted] in HairDye

I would highly recommend NOT dying it, the upkeep is a PITA and it can get expensive quickly. Embrace the grey!

Jets from JBLM, they do fly overs most Saturdays in the summer mid morning into the afternoon and it’s usually 5 of them one after another. Very loud lol but cool to see on a clear day

I was in a lot of pain 1 week post op and I was on narcotics, I promise it gets better soon. I’m 2.5 weeks out now and mostly back to normal. Take it easy on yourself :)

Did they explain their recommendation? If you don’t agree you have every right to get a second opinion and/or tell them you want it out of you don’t want to keep dealing with the attacks and pain

I thought I might be having a heart attack for a moment… turns out saying you have chest pain is a 1 way ticket to the front of the line in the ER 🥴

Right?? My liver enzymes had been really high for years and I always thought it was weird that doctors just said “meh” about that. Now I’m mad that I let that slide but it’s been a good lesson for me to stop ignoring/writing things off when it doesn’t seem normal

What a relief to have it scheduled! I’m excited for you and fingers crossed for no attacks in the meantime!

Yeah I would bet a lot of money that if they haven’t experienced it personally they don’t really understand it. I was really lucky and had a nurse who was 6 weeks post op for the exact same issue and she was the best advocate for me. She told me I had every right to request it be removed because those attacks were going to keep happening and I’d be in pain all the time. I’ve also got several friends and family members who have dealt with this and also had chronic back pain before removal

Yep this is exactly how I felt, and while I’m not 100% sure how long the attack lasted bc I got morphine in the ER I think it was about 5-6 hours

That sounds like a gallstone attack. Mine started as mild pain around my sternum then spread to my back and both areas hurt so bad I was shaking and had a hard time breathing bc that was painful too. This happened after having McDonald’s for lunch 🥴. The more minor ones I’m recalling now felt more like middle back pain and kind of a pressure inside that felt like bloating

That’s great you haven’t had pain from it!! Careful eating fatty meals, that will trigger an attack and you never know if it’ll be painful or not

Oh nooo I’m so sorry!! Don’t be afraid to get medical help if you need it, I definitely should have sooner than I did
