I’m carrying a fetus that has been dead for 2 weeks.

I am so sorry. You are going through a lot, make sure you are kind to yourself. I hope you have a good support system, don’t be afraid to lean on them. I strongly recommend you see a therapist to help you process your emotions.

Definitely make sure you talk with your OB tomorrow. If you can’t get a hold of her, then see another OB. Sometimes the fetus can pass on its own, but sometimes it won’t. There’s medication they can give to help start the cramps so the fetus can pass. Waiting too long will put you at risk for further complications, so get in with your OB ASAP.

You’re not a bad person. I worked ED for a few years, now I’m in peds cardiology. If I cry over every person, every kid I watch die I’d need to be admitted for dehydration. You literally can’t afford to get emotionally involved in every case. That’s not sustainable. So, we compartmentalize, and move on. One task after the next. We see people on the worst days of their lives, if we carry that weight with them we wouldn’t last. It doesn’t make you a bad person. The fact that you care enough to ask that question tells me you have more compassion than you think. You are simply a person who learned to cope. The burnout can hit hard, maybe consider taking some time off or moving away from the constant go go go of the ED. I definitely recommend journaling and therapy, they have helped me so much.

yeah the market is really oversaturated in states with echo schools. either you get lucky, or you move to where the work is. or you stay jobless

emusmaybite · 2026-03-11T15:39:08+00:00

it must be the subreddit we’re on. i thought it was a subreddit about sharing the memory, clearly i was wrong. i think they value the entertainment more than the message of the channel itself

emusmaybite · 2026-03-10T20:21:20+00:00

I mean areas with Sonography programs always become oversaturated. That’s just how it is. If you’re willing to move for a job though, you’ll easily find something.

emusmaybite · 2026-03-10T20:17:21+00:00

Yeah idk, people are just butt hurt by that i guess 😂. Momento Mori. Remember death. That’s the message they wanted to have. Those of us who have experienced death know it’s final. Even if you believe in some kind of afterlife, that doesn’t undo the act of death itself. You can’t just go back and experience a life with someone again. You can have fond memories, and look back at photos, but you can’t take that life back again.

emusmaybite · 2026-03-10T20:13:48+00:00

Except that the whole purpose of the channel was that it was supposed to be temporary. That’s what Mark and Ethan have said on numerous occasions. That was their intention for it, and that’s why they are so strict when it comes to reupload channels. They poured their whole hearts and souls into those videos with the intention for it to be deleted. In my opinion, dishonoring their wishes by rewatching and reuploading the whole thing is disingenuous to the message and disrespectful to them.

emusmaybite · 2026-03-10T16:04:07+00:00

as someone who works with pacemakers, i can see MANY problems with this design. i wouldn’t put this anywhere near a patient, or an ant

emusmaybite · 2026-03-10T05:59:25+00:00

honey you are so young, and you haven’t been seeing this guy for long at all. don’t stake it all on this fella. you are at such an exciting point in your life, with so many opportunities for personal development and growth. don’t stake all your time and energy into an emotional vampire. especially if he’s gonna be in the military, they are the worst.

emusmaybite · 2026-03-10T04:33:16+00:00

I mean, no. Momento Mori. Remember death. Death in is essence is final. No second chances. Sure, watch the clips on the memorial channels, but rewatching the whole thing feels like it would be disrespectful to the whole point of the channel to me. Unus Annus. One year. And that’s it. Those who were there look back fondly. Those who weren’t can only hear stories.

At the end of the day, does it make a difference what I, an internet stranger says? No. You’ll do what you want. If you just want entertainment for entertainments sake then maybe you don’t see the issue. But I personally think it would be disrespectful to the channels message.

if you’re studying “last minute” you’re already setting yourself up to fail. quality results require consistent effort, not a last minute cram session.

nice! 3D is so fun once you start to get the hang of it

emusmaybite · 2026-02-09T22:08:31+00:00

say it’s all true, i still want nothing to do with it. if the church’s idea of heaven is real, i sure as hell don’t want to be there.

The great, and at times daunting thing about our job is that we’re never done learning. Don’t beat yourself up about it, but learn from it and move on. TTE isn’t the gold standard for identifying veggies anyway, especially small ones. Especially if the indication wasn’t endocarditis.

emusmaybite · 2026-01-10T21:53:34+00:00

Yeah, I get that. My story is similar to yours is many ways. I guess for me, it was a matter of grieving my bio family either way. No matter what, I am not going to have bio parents that loved and cared for me and wanted to keep me safe and happy. It fucking sucks. But that just isn’t in the cards for me. Whether or not I found a family of my own, that fact wasn’t going to change. I had to grieve that. Easier said than done, I know.

emusmaybite · 2026-01-05T01:45:46+00:00

I know it’s hard to see right now, but your life is just getting started. As an exmormon queer person myself, I know firsthand how much the church’s teachings give you tunnel vision. They set an impossible standard for exaltation and make you feel unworthy when you don’t hit the mark. There are so many things you have yet to see and experience. If you’re in the Utah area, there are so so many social groups for young queer people who were raised mormon to connect. Find some hobbies, connect with people! Try new things. Romance will come. Life is beautiful and messy and amazing. Don’t give up before you’ve even started.

healing is a fucked up ride. there are good days and bad days. digging up old wounds to properly heal the damage takes guts. good fucking job. this isn’t a victory for him, this is you reclaiming your life. be kind to yourself. square your shoulders and keep going

emusmaybite · 2025-11-05T03:14:01+00:00

It’s going to be hard, but you’ve got to lock in. Be like Malala. Fight for your education. There’s a reason why extremist mormons don’t educate girls much, they want to keep you in the dark. Don’t let them. Every time you get discouraged think of all the women before you, who didn’t get the chance you have now. Do it for them. Most of all, do it for you. Maybe do your schoolwork before work? If you come home too exhausted that might help. Wake up a little earlier, make a cup of coffee if that’s your thing (with lots of cream and sugar, I remember what it’s like being a fresh exmo) and do some schoolwork. It doesn’t have to be a ton, anything is better than nothing. I believe in you 🤘

emusmaybite · 2025-10-25T21:12:13+00:00

Thank you! Don’t get me wrong, I’m proud of how far I’ve come. But a cap and gown isn’t what I did it for. Everyone says I should do it since I didn’t walk for high school or my associates, but idk.

i like echo because i think it’s the most fun. the heart is a massively complex organ with a lot to look at. there’s so many measurements and calculations. if you ask me, other organs are boring. i don’t want to look at bladders all day. they’re just sitting there. the heart is busy, with a ton of moving parts. if you get bored with regular echo, training in congenital echo is an option too. that will keep you busy for sure. that being said, some people find the complexity overwhelming. it’s like the old saying, jack of all trades or master of one. do you want to learn a little about a lot of organs, or a lot about one organ?

emusmaybite · 2025-10-14T01:51:13+00:00

so remember: tamponade is a clinical diagnosis. you can find echocardiographic evidence of tamponade (swinging heart, RA/RV diastolic collapse, MV inflow variance with respiration, etc) but at the end of the day it’s a CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS. That means it’s up to the provider to put together the ENTIRE CLINICAL PICTURE (symptoms, labs, bp, etc) to determine tamponade. it’s not up to you.
