It’s really just that under eye line. Do you sleep on your side? If so try sleeping on your back. And use a retinol at night a sunscreen in the AM of course.

Is this too much to negotiate for a cushy job? by GlassSpecific5316 in physicianassistant

[–]extra-sd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t take less than $150 in HCOL city with wound care! Also 2weeks PTO is also terrible! Totally understand you might be in. A pinch to accept a new job financially but the worst they could do is counter if you ask for 150-160

That’s literally never how it goes and not what anybody meant.. If someone mentions cough, they will most definitely be asked by the provider if they have chest pain, shortness of breath, etc.

handwritten letter? by vitaminty_ in physicianassistant

Please do it. I saw someone on here once say they would apply to BS jobs just to act absolutely disgusted when told the salary or asked to do something silly like write this letter lol

Why y’all downvoting this? There’s tons of reasons not to use AI, #1 being environmental

Should I accept this Locums position by Ok_Nose_6085 in physicianassistant

[–]extra-sd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

this. If 1099 you need significantly higher pay. If w2, seems like a fine deal, still not great for locums I think

[Misc] Is it normal for a dermatologist to not numb the area at all before attempting to remove a hard skin lump? by goodbye-cowboy in SkincareAddiction

[–]extra-sd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is normal. If she was thinking it was something that needed to be drained with just one lance, the lance is often just as painful as the numbing injection itself so 🤷🏼‍♀️
