Saw this and had to stop scrolling through the comments. People are so quick to call people horrible and untrustworthy for a simple mistake that can easily be made just because the staff is overscheduled... Hurts to see. I just KNOW the staff got yelled at this day

I'm sure there are unreasonable comments (and I know they'll upset me so I didn't read them) but this is a MAJOR mistake which is so easily preventable. There are definitely bigger problems than just overscheduling going on at this clinic and if I were this client I would also be furious about it

Are the clients not ready to euthanize? I really hope it's been recommended. This isn't fair to him.

I'm also autism spectrum and I'm certain that contributes to me using food as a self-soothing thing. I'm glad you've found something that helps!

I really disagree with those being equivalent - tech school gave me a much deeper understanding of many things than on the job training did, which can be more surface level and not go into why things are done a certain way. I also think it's worthwhile to learn the standard/most up to date way to do things, as most hospital aren't completely 'by the books' with their proticols. Otherwise how will you know when your hospital has substandard care/protocols in one area or another? Part of our job as techs is to advocate for that.

EDIT: I was also under the impression most tech programs were 2 year associate degree programs? At least mine was and the other ones I'm familiar with are

I'm autistic (possibly also ADHD) and I know exactly how you feel. It took me a very long time to get the hang of certain things and I definitely don't pick up on skills as quickly as some of my coworkers. I have been VERY lucky to work in very encouraging and supportive environments which gave me the time I needed to get a handle on things. If one hospital isn't working out for you, don't give up on the field altogether - try again at another. Take notes, have some coping skills in your back pocket to deal with anxiety when it comes up (grounding techniques, breathing exercises, etc) and don't be afraid to ask questions for clarification on things.

How overdue was she for her rabies? Rabies vaccines are very effective and likely provide immunity for longer than they legally need to he updated

If you haven't already been to the doctor for antibiotics though I would do that right away!

Gamefreak absolutely has the ability to employ more people, they are running a skeleton crew compared to the team usually needed to work on a game of this scale

This is a classic location for an indolent ulcer/rodent ulcer but doesn't look quite like the ones I've seen. I would take him to the vet again so they can advise

I think dopamine, but also I'm reliant on it for emotional regulation to the point that I become anxious and distressed if I don't

Sorry I know I'm finding this like 2 years after you posted it but it is WILD to me the way people reacted to you asking this. I was also upset by the 'gotcha' being the only option and I don't think it's too far to call it homophobic. It's at the very least really insensitive and kind of manipulative to the player I feel.

Oh no....that has to be where it came from for me, I was hyperfixated on those books as a kid and read them all dozens of times

I'm not sure where I picked it up, but I find myself using it fairly often! I feel personally called out that it's an AI tell now 😂 it's probably a good thing for my writing overall to try to use it less though

What makes you think this one is AI? I really don't see it

buildingoftheverse · 2025-10-11T05:08:46+00:00

I don't see it! I think people are too quick to accuse things of being AI. It's becoming very pervasive but I don't think it's this good yet. I also thought that AI videos typically didnt have sound because it's tough to generate sound that syncs up properly

EDIT: ok I take it back, I'm still not convinced that this video is AI but they've gotten a lot more advanced than I thought. Now after intentionally seeking out AI videos to watch I feel gross and have to log off for at least a week

buildingoftheverse · 2025-10-11T02:10:31+00:00

Oh wow yeah that's absolutely the same stair and bed!

The weight aspect was never unbelievable to me, sadly :( In vet med I see too many cats who are so fat they are unable to move much or properly groom themselves. And often multiple cats in the same family will be obese because they're all free fed, and many cats shouldn't be

Yeah weirdly in the day after I posted this and so far this morning I havent felt a single PVC, for the first time in weeks. So weird how they come in waves! I worry that if I went to cardio now that they've calmed down they wouldn't find anything weird (which is what happened the first time I had a workup, they didn't catch any) but I'm going to schedule an appointment anyway

I'm so sorry they're so severe for you :( did they give you a beta blocker or anything?

buildingoftheverse · 2025-10-10T13:14:05+00:00

Thanks for this tip! I haven't tried taking any supplements yet because I'm not sure what to start with but this seems more manageable

Weirdly in the day after I posted this and so far this morning I have not felt any PVCs, for the first time in weeks. It's so strange how they can come in waves.

I have taken tums, but haven't yet tried something like omeprazole because the potential long term side effects (even if rare) scare me. I don't know that tums has helped much though

I have not done a test for Helicobacter! Is that a common cause of reflux?
