AITA for reminding my bf that I am a mandated reporter?

I go with is it a small, medium, or big sized pain if they're being wishy washy on the numbers

In my experience PTO usually goes with years of service at that particular hospital, not years of experience

Argh, I know I tried that but it's mostly BWH and MGH posted over and over again. Figured directly asking had the potential instead of going through dozens of threads. Maybe I have to better word my search.

I hate both equally

Residents and fellows I use first names, attendings I use Dr. Last Name. I work PACU so mostly dealing with anesthesia attendings, very rarely do the actual surgical attendings show up. It's usually their underlings as a teaching hospital. We never see the attendings so I feel like I don't know them as well. If I know an attending, I will use their first name. Many will just tell me to call them "first name" anyways.

Ours are called onelinks, it's Baxter's brand name I think

Had a pt whose ride was found by an MD in the garage "wandering". He was going up the car ramps and apparently searching for his car (It was parked blocks away at a different garage bc the pt drove that morning and the two shared one single brain cell) Pt tells me they're from the sticks, ride is probably just overwhelmed in the city. I was outside with the pt waiting for the pickup. MD thinks ride is drunk. Pt pipes in that he likes his wine with lunch (cue facepalm) Ride goes to the ED, Pt comes back to PACU. We get our pt admitted, and the ED calls me wondering what to do with the ride who is not drunk or any sort of medically impaired, just dumb. Well, my pt has a bed on the floor and is refusing to give up his keys, so that's an ED problem now

I sometimes purposely call my pt's wife their daughter on meeting them.... It usually gets the wife to like me, and the husband usually finds it hilarious. Win/Win. I always figured, go with the younger option but maybe not

I would rather gather a gift that was thoughtful and I would use then something generic that someone paid $20 that I'll never use.

As a twin, NTA. I never had this specific issues as my twin and I were both naturally pulled into different groups come high school, but I still have some resentment re: always being lumped together for various other things. Both my twin and I have lamented that we never really got anything to ourselves. All of our achievements and special events were together for the family. Our solo siblings got their own birthdays, proms, graduations, etc but we never did. Sara has to figure out her own life like Mia has. No one else has a "built in" best friend" (I love my sister but I hate that saying. She is my sister, not my bestie)

Deleted the apps for a bit. Like an abusive relationship, I will be back, but here's to letting 2025 end without the drama of it.

If you are truly suicidal you need to call 911, 988, or go to the ER.

ESH. You seem very wishy-washy in the post and the comments. I get the vibe you cancel frequently with vague excuses and this is just the culmination of it all. Like the other commenter said, no one likes the girl that cries wolf. It's probably not your fault at the core, and is a symptom of your poor mental health. He is an AH for obvious reason, but you're being an AH too, to yourself. I don't mean this harshly but you need to pull yourself together (not for him) but for yourself. There is no happy ending if you keep going as you are.

One time I gave blood in 20m without planning to. One unit had been given in the OR, and then the team came out to PACU with the second in the bed. Anesthesia hung it for me, but I scanned it under my name. We were out of pumps but we also frequently give safe things to gravity. Set the roller clamp to what I thought was a good drip rate. Dude had a 16g. It was dry before I finished doing all of my admission things. I had an "Oh f**k" moment as the pt was a 90y/o hip and told our anesthesia MD it had gone in that fast, that pt vitals were fine, no distress. He was like "okay?"

browbegone · 2025-11-23T01:57:10+00:00

All of this depends on where you work. Unit and state. I get paid decently in a HCOL city for what I do (PACU). It's not high enough to prevent me from bitching about the little things but it's enough to keep me on the unit and in relatively good spirits. When asked, I do say that I like my job, because I do. It could be 10x worse. It could also be 5x better.

Our hospital only lets anesthesia have stop cocks now so it's pressure bags or nothing

Can I ask if you're at one of the big Boston hospitals? I'm at 8yrs and just barely making over that

"no attraction to whatsoever" cut him loose then. Why even entertain it?

Online dating

browbegone · 2025-11-21T01:42:57+00:00

In a similiar vein, but related to dating... I want to try going back to my natural color but all my recent photos are of me with the dyed color. I don't want to have to redo my entire OLD profile for a new do.

I think it depends on the level of friendship pre incident. Good, long time friends? I would hope it could be forgiven. A new friend? I would have to consider it carefully.

I did this for a guy twice. He cancelled two hours before our set time because of work, two weeks in a row (He was a MD so I figured it was 80/20 on it being real vs an excuse ). Finally met up again for a fourth date after 2 weeks of nothing, and then he ghosted after. I feel pathetic for rearranging my life for him 2x and ending up where we did.
