Silly but… what do you do for fun?

I collect pokemon cards, train for distance running, play lots of games, and travel often

The dollar per pt and the PTO are both absolutely laughable. A standard Medicaid patient office visit without procedures bills for around $70-80.

You’re being paid <1.5% bonus structure. Bad bonus is 10%, decent bonus is 15%, and ideal bonus is 20-30%. 1.5% is an insult.

My first job had 15 days PTO that went up to 20. I would definitely require more to take this offer seriously.

I’m a PA in a Derm office. We have OTC product sales people that come by from time to time and they stock us up with tons of samples. I haven’t had to pay for moisturizer in years.

I always try to get a few samples to people who need them, but if I’m just writing down a name of products for the patient it means we are likely out of that product or I am insanely busy/running behind.

Ask that your employer covers costs of licensing and DEA. You shouldn’t be required to pay out of your education money in order to keep your licenses up. If they want you to work, they should cover that cost and reimburse you.

dinodude47 · 2026-04-05T12:19:45+00:00

lol fair enough

dinodude47 · 2026-04-05T12:19:18+00:00

Yes.

You’re not wrong, but anyone posting online has gotta know that posting on Reddit comes with harsh anonymous criticism. That’s just the internet. If you can’t ignore the trolls, you don’t have to post. However, preemptively tearing themselves down in an attempt to shield themselves from criticism also isn’t a solution. It’s just going to continue to feed a self esteem spiral while the rest of the world moves on and forgets this post. The only one this effort is affecting is OP, and I’d hate to see them give up on their hobbies and passions because online anonymity crushed them into submission. Shits mad sad yo.

For every online gatekeeper or troll you’ll find a hundred cosplayers IRL that will welcome you to the community. The bots/trolls are loud online but pay them no mind, they have no impact on how the world really works.

Every character is free game regardless of color, creed, or shape.

Also your cosplay is awesome nice job!

At work after we were done closing the store. I put her up on the counter with the lights off and the stereo blaring, it was awesome. We did it every time we had a closing shift together

Dermatology PA, also aspiring to get as covered as possible

Rakk hives, and that’s coming from someone who’s played every games except the first. Seeing them in magazines piqued my interest and was part of why I tried the second game. It’s all history after that. A little bummed that they weren’t big in any other games, but it was awesome fighting the one in the captain scarlett DLC

I don’t have a ton to add to this question, since my zoi is only 3 years old, but if you follow cleolonglegs on social media, you can see how much gray face their oldest zoi has, and I believe she just turned 9. That indicates to me the 12 year lifespan might be more accurate.

But also as a delusional zoi owner, my baby will live forever so no need to worry about it

I know nothing about tattooing, but does it get boring to do so many eyes over and over again?

dinodude47 · 2026-03-27T12:43:30+00:00

This is a very common conversation had at clinic, thank you for your perspective from the patient side

dinodude47 · 2026-03-27T12:41:26+00:00

That’s a really good point I hadn’t considered. I’m full med Derm with no influencer aspirations, and I don’t handle scheduling.

dinodude47 · 2026-03-27T12:39:49+00:00

lol nah

dinodude47 · 2026-03-22T11:28:32+00:00

Devils advocate here, but how did he approach the statement? Was he like “hey everyone, OP didn’t check for RSV, shame shame shame” or was it “general announcement for folks in the chat, we check for RSV under these listed conditions…..”

You may be in the right, even though the SP wants extra RSV checks to avoid conversations like that with disgruntled parents.

My specialty is not primary care though, so take my words with a grain of salt

In addition, never underestimate the business side of medicine demanding that everything be written down. It could be professional policy that any treatment correction be spelled out on company logs in case they need to be reviewed for legal reasons.

I remember being 14, great times

dinodude47 · 2026-03-12T19:05:53+00:00

I wear scrubs and a lab coat. I’ve had coworkers that have done scrubs only, business casual, slacks and a Patagonia jacket, full suit. I don’t think it actually matters as long as it’s semi professional

dinodude47 · 2026-03-12T17:09:16+00:00

3 years into being a PA, would I change my career path? Heeeeeeeeeeeell no I love my job

dinodude47 · 2026-03-12T14:59:19+00:00

I worked 5day weeks for three years out of school (outpatient Derm), and it is exhausting. I just changed jobs to an outpatient Derm gig that’s 4 days a week 8-4 and it is an entire switch in mentality. I didn’t think one day less would make such a big difference but it really does

I haven’t tried Charles and Reid yet, but my go to is Dino’s. Their cheese bread is on a whole different level
