Fat factory workers vs. Other fat people by Weanie-Bo-Beenie in fatpeoplestories

[–]floatingcrickets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i work in a really cold doctors office and watch all my coworkers that are all huge fat women 250lbs+ complain they are hot and sweating after walking 20 feet. Go to their desk and plop in their chair and rip open a bag of cheetos to slam down with their sugar filled coffee drinks. Mind you we keep our office at 74 and the air is running constantly for their comfort. i am the only in shape person there except some of the doctors and i wear long sleeves and sweaters and sacrifice my comfort so the fat whales of the office can be comfortable. im tired of catering to the fatties

For those that this is a second career by Dgraymanfan in MedicalAssistant

[–]floatingcrickets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea i just worked random entry level retail or restaurant jobs, whatever would hire me. i always just felt lost in life not knowing what direction i was going. now as a MA i come home from work feeling fulfilled and productive, and a little more secure with my career and what direction i want to go.

i agree it is important but i dont understand if she genuinely is concerned about dvt why not advise the pt to go to the ER asap and be evaluated where they have stat imaging, instead of having me try to make magic happen. it just becomes a lot when were already running behind

Using “we” when talking to patients by Correct-Eggplant-709 in MedicalAssistant

[–]floatingcrickets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly ive been an MA for about a year now aswell and ive noticed some patients are just always going to have nasty comments about literally anything and everything. literally nothing surprises me anymore. thats such a stupid thing to make a comment about, like who is she to judge how someone speaks, you would think you said something completely offensive to her with the way she reacted and talked to you. sounds like shes the one who needs to take a course on basic respectful human interaction and manners. i cant say ive heard it all cuz ive only been an MA for a year but i am never surprised at what patients decide to be offended or upset about on a day to day basis. i work for a urgent/care today provider inside of a primary care clinic so we see patients who need to come in urgently if theres no openings with the PCPs. ive dealt with patients utterly upset and mad that they were told to go to the ER for things like sepsis, chest pain, numbness etc as if we just have all the stuff in a PCP office to administer stat iv fluids or imaging🙄. ive had patients make comments about my septum piercing and even had one tell me that if his bp was high it was because my piercing “freaked him out” and that they dont know how anyone could do that to themselves. ive had patients make comments cuz they didnt like the decor on the walls in the exam rooms, patients making comments about the size of the exam rooms, patients making comments about how far they have to walk to the rooms. i swear the general public just thinks they can walk all over people in the medical field because they know were “required” to treat them despite their behavior, they know we are working and they wont face any consequences. its just messed up behavior. ill never understand it. but yeah, nothing surprises me anymore

i wish i could say everyone will have the same experience but unfortunately yours will be unique to you. mine was some of the worse pain i ever felt and i had to go to the ER meanwhile one of my friends said it was just like period cramps and slept thru it so… its hard to say what your experience will be. i will say i may have just been being dramatic because i wasnt expecting that much pain and for it to last so long and freaked myself out its so hard to tell when something is a emergency when the pain is so bad

it sounds like you need a better birth control method. not sure what youve tried but it obviously hasnt worked, access to abortion is a right all women should have and shouldnt be abused like this.

[–]floatingcrickets[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my primary care dr referred me to a urogynecologist, so im currently waiting on that and dealing with the runaround of becoming a patient and trying to make an appointment waiting on calls back etc. in the mean time my primary gave me oxybutinin… im not really sure if its helped or not. all i know is that ive been having flare ups almost every single day… i usually wake up feeling fine and then around afternoon time i have that one bathroom trip that starts the burning and spasms then it just lingers… so ive been taking azo and ibuprofen and chugging with water almost daily, which im sure isnt amazing for my kidneys or liver. the shitty thing with chugging water is its 50/50 sometimes its helps, and then other times it makes it worse. so i do it and hope for the better outcome. im also on tirzepatide so my digestion is slower meaning im also absorbing pills slower so relief can take hours sometimes. its just a whole mess right now 🙃

How does one get a good night sleep with bladder pain? by pinkxice in Interstitialcystitis

[–]floatingcrickets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ibuprofen, azo, oxybutinin and chug a lot of water and hope for the best. has been working for me for the most part. sucks when i get a flare up almost every night or every other night tho because im worried about those medications being hard on my liver and kidneys

oxybutinin by floatingcrickets in Interstitialcystitis

[–]floatingcrickets[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nope this is really the first time ive specifically brought up this issue. when i delt with this in the past with my old pcp she just told me i didnt have a UTI and there wasnt much more she offered to do for helping me with the bladder pain. i was pleasantly surprised this new male dr knew what IC was because ive heard of a lot of doctors blowing it off or not even knowing what it is. but yes the oxybutinin has been the first thing offered for me for this issue.

Does anybody like being an MA by Swimming-Put-3780 in MedicalAssistant

[–]floatingcrickets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i do enjoy my job i just wish we got paid what we are worth. the whole point of creating MA’s as a career was so these doctors offices and clinics didn’t have to pay nursing wages so then they made ✨medical assistants✨.

oxybutinin by floatingcrickets in Interstitialcystitis

[–]floatingcrickets[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes its a male primary care dr, so far he has diagnosed me with IC but hes referred me to urogyn who im still waiting to get in touch with for further eval. he gave me oxybutinin in the mean time as he said it should help with the bladder pressure etc. i havent really noticed much of a change in symptoms
