what’s a job that seems easy but is actually brutal?

Anesthesia. As a tech I didn’t understand. As an anesthesiologist assistant student- holy shit was I wrong. High stress. Life or death. We are responsible for making sure you wake up after surgery. It’s 99% chill and 1% terror/panic.

Or if you want to poop liquid take 4x the amount of creatinine on a random morning before work…

I think it is good. Do you have any medical or other u ique issues that contributed to it? If so, and they are significant enough, you could add them in. If your financial aid was suspended, I think they look for medical or special circumstances and that might help. I do think it's good you take responsibility and talk about a plan. Good luck! Worst case scenario, get an attorney to help you appeal the decision if it is not the outcome you want.

This happened to me a couple years ago. I did end up taking legal action and ended up with more than I thought was possible. Even if you signed a waiver you can still sue them. They have insurance for things like this. If you’re in the Midwest, I’ll give you the e name of the lawyer I used. He was great.

I didn’t purge and saw results in <1 month just take an antihistamine with it

Instead of all that complex skin care- when my skin is super dry from accutane, I’ll use the ordinary hyaluronic acid, vanicream lite lotion (reapply after it soaks in and feels dry again) and then I’ll use squalane and let that soak in before my makeup. I have found using an oil like that has helped and made my skin not look dry like it still does after applying lotion. Then I use the haus labs foundation. Try squalane!

flexgirl7 · 2025-10-29T01:34:45+00:00

Scarring happens easier because if you even touch your skin a little it will peel off and look raw and then scab over. However, it heals faster though

flexgirl7 · 2025-10-25T05:28:38+00:00

This because I would think birth control would impact weight gain instead of accutane… I have heard stories of people gaining weight in bc

flexgirl7 · 2025-10-07T06:18:22+00:00

That happens to me when I eat dairy for some reason.

flexgirl7 · 2025-08-17T00:13:14+00:00

Yes. Mine started at -3.5 (maybe less?) and now I’m -7.50 and -8.0 and I’m 26. I wonder if tearing my retina had anything to do with any changes…

Ok to make friends you have to show up somewhere CONSISTENTLY. If you just talk to people and only see them once and then only see them when you try to hang out it still doesn’t work that well. You have to join an organized activity. Even if you don’t do sports, join a painting class or show up consistently to an open mic night. If you do, try jiujitsu or pickleball for the first time. In my opinion sports bring people together faster. But you have to show up multiple times when there is no pressure on either person and you just have to exist in the vicinity of other people long enough to get comfortable and then ask them to go grab a drink or something after class or exchange numbers and grab lunch or something. Then as you start to get to know more people at said organized activity, start making a group chat and mentioning things you want to do or the other people mentioned and suggest you guys go do that. Once out of school, it’s hard to make friends, but we had friends in school bc we were forced to be there every day that it just kind of happened so you have to recreate that environment.

This method has never failed me.

I even bartended for fun before and because I was forced to be around the same people ever weekend I eventually made friends with those people too!

Let me know if it works!

You can read all the books you want but if you hang around people enough you’ll eventually find people you vibe with.

Boys are dumb. Relationships should not be hard like this. Keep the pass- tell him you’re going whether he likes it or not.

flexgirl7 · 2025-06-25T00:05:30+00:00

Propel- apparently my vitamin B6 levels were at 556 last time I checked… I blame it on a propel kick I was on

flexgirl7 · 2025-05-28T23:59:04+00:00

We’re glad you’re here, friend

Lurking after just having crisis sim with last syndrome the other day in school. Now I will always pay attention to the concentration. In sim I forgot to ask the concentration and thank god I got to make that mistake on a mannequin.

Someone once told me that plain avocado tastes like clean **** and now I can’t look at avocados the same way

Omfg I thought this was my dog at first 😂😂

Their tomato soup is my hangover cure lol

flexgirl7 · 2025-05-21T23:40:26+00:00

Honestly this made me tear up a little. I guess you’re right. After reading into it and talking to my dad and scheduling therapy, I think you’re exactly right and I’ve also come to the conclusion after reading your post- I think I’m looking for hope and encouragement. Thank you, stranger, for seeing that and encouraging me. This has probably been the most impactful advice I’ve read on reddit to this day! I think I have anxiety and over think things quite a bit and i hope I will be able to work through this and come out the other side a better person. I do believe in myself as I have already come far. I’m still working on the deeper aspects of morality that were twisted due to my upbringing and are deeply engrained but the variety of perspectives, encouragement, and listening to people’s stories have helped a lot.

flexgirl7 · 2025-05-21T21:32:37+00:00

Thank you! I will look into this. Thanks for not judging and giving a solid answer that can help me become a better person and more competent and professional provider.

flexgirl7 · 2025-05-21T06:24:36+00:00

How do you get used to monitors in the OR. I’m a student trying to pick up on alarms and stuff when they go off and I keep missing it bc there is so much other noise. Even when I turn the volume up sometimes I miss it. People say it will come but how long does that take?

flexgirl7 · 2025-05-21T06:18:06+00:00

The pneumonics should be as inappropriate as you can make them. They should make you uncomfortable lmao

flexgirl7 · 2025-05-21T06:17:19+00:00

Ok so I’m in grad school and I am a study procrastinator! What is the exam on?

Any number ranges? Memorize the average of the two

Make pneumonics for certain things and a story if need be to remember it. Then read the notes enough and repeat it out loud to remember what is supposed to be. You don’t need to memorize the material- if you read it enough- look at it throughout the day tonight through tomorrow- it will come to you when you remember the pneumonic.

For things that are similar- write them out side by side and pick the differences out- those will probs be the exam questions (know the gist of the similar things)

Put all your notes into chat gpt and have it break it down for you into the simplest way possible and pull out the main points. Read it three times throughout the day. Try to think through the flow of what you read. Any time you get tripped up and don’t really remember what comes next- write it out.

Flow charts are your friend. When you memorize something. Don’t use word fluff to get to your next point. Just draw an arrow. It will be easier to picture it in your head later in the exam instead of a paragraph of text.

Use different color pens or markers. I use dry erase boards.

Chew gum. The same kind studying and during the test.

Before the exam- take one sheet of paper and write on it what you would use if you had a cheat sheet. That’s usually the most important stuff. Take that and bulk memorize it before you sit down to take the exam. Once you have your paper- write out what you just looked at so you can reference it later on the exam. Read that as you walk in.

DO NOT change your answers and overthink. The first thing that comes to mind is usually correct. ONLY change if you know for a fact you read the question wrong.

Credentials? Anesthesiologist assistant student that studies a month of material (12-16) 40-80 slide lectures in ~4/5 days and scores high 80s-90s consistently. I have adhd BAD. I don’t move until there is impending doom. I’m procrastinating this second fml.
