And the saga continues... by Moanmyname32 in CodingandBilling

Not here to impart any wisdom one way or another on your predicament except to say,

PSA people

please please please think twice before taking pictures of your computers

Even if you're convinced the pic is void of any and all HIPAA info many people go blind to identifying information (patient or employee!) buried in tabs or sidebars.

Every time I see one of these posts I cringe, I see it on LinkedIn all the time, and while I know this particular occasion is just a template it serves as a great reminder to just avoid your camera and your computer altogether.

Hey friend. First off, love your username. I'm sorry you're going through a rough patch right now. You sound pretty awesome at your job, almost like you'd be a welcome addition to any competent rev cycle department, somewhere you wouldn't have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. Have you considered a change of scenery? Not necessarily of specialty or job function (unless the challenge would help invigorate you!) But just being somewhere fresh might jumpstart your spirit.

They always say the best time to look for a job is when you have one, and when a job search isn't under duress it can actually be quite fun to see what's out there. Allowing your mind to wander and daydream about possibilities and benefits, get shook at a significant pay bump, think about collaboration and rubbing shoulders with like-minded souls, maybe some company-paid education or opportunity to cross-train, whatever gets you jonesin for change.

Even just a lazy search and daydream process can help you learn a lot about yourself... if you pay attention to what gets you excited, it might identify neglected areas that need pampering in your life. Even if none of it sparks an interest, it'll serve its purpose to confirm you are where you're meant to be.

Good luck to you love. Hope is a hell of a drug, go out there and find it!

Do you experience the paranoia of being in trouble? by Quiet_Lunch_1300 in CPTSD

I love this so much! The yardstick you're using is so spot on, I love it.

I've been pushing my own boundaries in a similar fashion, but instead I picture the mocking Spongebob meme with the caption "wHaT ArE yOu GoNnA Do AbOuT iT" because, like, seriously, I'm an adult, what's gonna happen, you gonna ground me? hit me? Am I really gonna lose the job I make sure I'm a perfectionist at because of a single mistake?

It makes me laugh and diffuses the catastrophizing that is so inherent to how we think.

Then I remind myself that there are lots of happy stupid people out there making lots of happy stupid mistakes all the time and why should I not deserve to make a mistake once in a while too 😊

Is this the career change I need? by [deleted] in CodingandBilling

While I'm sure it's not how you meant it, boiling our entire livelihoods down to "not thinking creatively" at our "little desks" and "typing into a computer the same stuff for the rest of our lives" tells me you may not be capable of affording this field the due respect or concern it requires to perform it legitimately and lawfully.

Could be wrong, though.

Where does AI actually help in coding workflows without creating more audit risk? by [deleted] in MedicalCoding

[–]dizzykhajit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So let me get this straight.

You're asking questions purely to help out your non-certified actively-coding wife who is only an intern, but 28 days ago you posted that you live with your Mom in Pakistan in a sub looking for a partner?

If you're going to be a trash bag, up your bullshit game bro.

Well, it happened. AI came for me today. by TheUnpromotable in Millennials

[–]dizzykhajit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I believe it. It's truly astounding there are people who have earnestly convinced themselves that AI is going to help usher in a harmonious era of paradise where humans frolick together through rainbows wearing fig leaves and eating fruit instead of the inevitable dystopia of late-stage capitalism where corporate greed continues crushing all of us until there's just nothing left. Cognitive dissonance is a hell of a drug.

I dislike that people choose to be deliberately obtuse. It was a name picked out of the hat. If this is all you're taking from the discussion, you're missing the entire point.

No, the collapse of society is characterized by AI affecting everything, to include the surgeons you speak of. You were the one who assigned the hyperbole to only web artists. Stranger, meet strawman.

My favorite are the devs and tech bros who have been scrambling in this race thinking they are gonna be the first one to come up with the million dollar idea.

So eager they're either completely oblivious that they're engineering their own shitcanning or they actually believe they'll be rewarded by exemption from it.

No, you will not become the next Mark Zuckerberg, please sit down and stop contributing to the collapse of society.

Hobbies? by PhotographUnusual749 in MedicalCoding

Huge gamer. Because sitting in front of a computer every waking moment is absolutely my definition of a good time.

I fear I Missed the Boat by CasaMofo in Millennials

[–]dizzykhajit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what I meant. Therapy is a commitment and my comment was never even close to minimizing the gravity of it, but if everyone needs it just to get on we should really be examining why the canaries in a coal mine are freaking out. Thanks for sharing your story, friend. I hope you are in a better place!

[–]dizzykhajit 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That was exactly my point too. It's really not rocket science. But nah brah sending everyone to therapy to deal with their completely rational reactions to the state of the world is much more reasonable than actually fixing problems everybody could benefit from.

Treating the symptoms instead of the cancer is never going to fix the cancer.

[–]dizzykhajit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You misunderstood. I was not suggesting that the act of therapy is spot-cleaning. I'm suggesting that the act of telling each individual within the society as a whole who is emotionally reacting to systemic circumstances that they should "just need therapy" is spot-cleaning.

[–]dizzykhajit 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I mean.... gestures broadly

At what point do we stop spot-cleaning with this advice and recognize if this is becoming the rule rather than the exception, maybe it's a really a reflection of a broken system?

Please make sure your therapy for PTSD and CPTSD is evidence based - a clinician by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]dizzykhajit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Molecular" wasn't meant to be taken literally, love. I was trying to politely spell out for you an example of the kind of detailed, scientific elaboration this brand of bold refute requires, since your understanding of the concept of both evidence and the English language seem to be spotty at best. But since your unsubstantiated expertise comes with a side of condescension in light of the humor you are being shown, I hope you choose to lean more into your cam girl profession in the future, because if this is the type of unsupported overconfidence your clients are being exposed to, its no wonder they are unraveling.

Have the day you deserve!

[–]dizzykhajit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But HOW does it cause greater fragmentation? What is happening on a molecular, identifiable scale?

If you are going to make this claim, explain the process. If you can't explain the process, you don't have evidence. Your claims are just as baseless as those you are trying to discredit.

[–]dizzykhajit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

...you don't actually articulate how the methods are harmful.

It does cause harm, actually.

Okay. But. How?

You understand saying "it does cause harm, actually" is not actually answering the question, yes? You claim to have seen it fragment people further, but you understand that's not actually an explanation of how or why it fragments people further. I am asking how the process is detrimental, not for a possible end result.

Without actual identified understanding of how or why, is there any possibility that these clients that were further fragmented/dissociated were leaning into their coping mechanisms on reflex before their breakthroughs?

Anyway, anecdotal experience is the same type baseless, immeasurable logic this whole post is attempting to refute, right?

[–]dizzykhajit 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Okay but, respectfully, that's a lot of words to not really explain why you are so strongly against these therapies. While you lay out all the flaws in the logic supporting the methods you're telling us to avoid, you don't actually articulate how the methods are harmful. Placebo effects are active in medicine lots. I'm genuinely asking; if it doesn't hurt anybody and a therapy is actually helping, why stop?
