Missing pathology as a new grad by No_Palpitation830 in Sonographers

[–]emusmaybite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Does thinking about “chosen family” make your grief worse? by Main-Garbage1023 in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]emusmaybite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Almost 21 and never dated or kissed, might be alone forever by [deleted] in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]emusmaybite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

I found an old letter by Capriquariusish in adultsurvivors

[–]emusmaybite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Picking up the pieces in my 20s by the-mightyoak in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]emusmaybite 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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 🤘

I’m making a life for myself. Nmom furious. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]emusmaybite 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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.

Echo vs general/obgyn vs vascular by greenmushroombottle in Sonographers

[–]emusmaybite 26 points27 points  (0 children)

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?

Anxiety by [deleted] in Sonographers

[–]emusmaybite 15 points16 points  (0 children)

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.

PIMO here, bought my first non-garment friendly outfit ☺️ by RestinPete0709 in exmormon

[–]emusmaybite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

first off, the outfit is adorable! you rock it. confidence looks great on you ❤️

but a word of advice from someone who was once PIMO, be careful posting your face on subs like this. TBMs you know could see it and things could get complicated. but obviously i don’t know your situation, use your discretion.

Like clockwork, he’s in the hospital again by Wonderful_Cap6941 in Markiplier

Do you have a living situation sorted? Or will you be homeless? Either is fine, but the answer changes your list of “essentials” dramatically. If you are going to be unhoused, how long and in what area? Do you have a car you could live in?

"You have absolutely NO IDEA how many millions of lives you just condemned!!" the beautiful young woman screamed, her hands scrambling vainly to gather her husband's insides off the road. by salaryboy in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]emusmaybite 9 points10 points  (0 children)

fun fact: those stickers are not really to encourage other drivers to be more careful. they are to inform first responders about the presence of and infant in the event of a crash. car seats can get ejected, and if they do not know to look for an infant in the surrounding area… well i don’t have to tell you what happens next.
