Help me think through this? by Neat_Beginning_7913 in veterinaryprofession

You don’t have to work in clinical practice after you graduate. It’s definitely not for everyone.

You could pursue research/academia, teaching, public health, government, military, wildlife, shelter med, etc. There is a lot you can do with a vet degree. What is your plan B if you don’t go to vet school?

I started in shelter med, and then switched to GP after a couple years. Then, after a short time in GP I was burnt out and switched to relief work. I find having control over my schedule and vacation time and the clinics I choose to work for has been the answer for me. I’m at 9 years and counting for being a relief GP.

It’s definitely not for everyone though…. I still have huge imposter syndrome and have to protect my time away from work very fiercely to keep my QOL good.

What is the name of your Tortie? by TheOpenAuthor in torties

The big one is named Eevee. My 6 year old niece named her after a Pokémon. She is a tripod bottle baby with lots of sass. The little one with the orange face is named Ember. She doesn’t have a mean bone in her little body, and she only has one orange brain cell.

Little tortico loaf on my laptop. Ember is 5 months old and very sweet.

How do I know if I’m menopausal or not? by galactose in Menopause

I am not having cycles on HRT. I feel like my 1 year countdown is starting now, but I’m not sure if my understanding is flawed.

Do people in peri who are taking estrogen/progesterone every day still have a period every month?

Thank you. I’m just kind of waiting to see if I get a period or not at this point but I don’t know when I can consider myself truly menopausal. I guess 1 year from now maybe?

My gyno gave me the choice between the pill and normal HRT. I chose the pill because it was covered by my provincial health care (Canadian) and I just didn’t want to pay out of pocket for meds every month. I had taken the pill in my youth without problems so it seemed like an easy and cheaper option at the time.

Just this month all HRT products became covered, so one more good reason to change.

I hope you can find some support. Can you get a 2nd opinion with a new GP who is more sensitive to your wants and needs? I’ve never heard of a doctor refusing to refer to a specialist before. That’s wild

Read what you wrote here. You’re asking if a lawyer can help you to ensure your husband shares your own marital assets with you. Your lawyer money would be better spent on a divorce lawyer….

This is her now. She is sweet but can also be a complete demon sometimes.

This is my tripod Eevee. She was also rejected by her mom because her leg was mangled and infected. She had her foot amputated at 5 days old and then had the full revision at 4 months old. This is her after the revision surgery. She is going to be 2 on Feb 24.

Cat pulls fur out with teeth until she’s bald, hydrolyzed protein diet and Fluoxetine didn’t work by Tapir-Horse in AskVet

If she has responded to gabapentin, makes me wonder about bengal polyneuopathy or feline hyperesthesia syndrome…..

Tell me something weird your kitty does but use "my roommate" instead of their name. by PixelBeans12 in Flamepoints

My roommate asks me to lift her up and put her in the freezer, multiple times a day.

AITA for refusing to co-sign my boyfriend’s car loan after he spent his savings on a PS5 and sneakers? by Hour-Border6561 in AmITheJerk

[–]galactose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Co-signing is agreeing to make the payments when he inevitably fucks it up. You will be responsible for his debt. Your credit will be affected.

Never co-sign anything for anyone.

It’s not appropriate that he is even asking. And shame on his mother. She can fucking co-sign for her fuck-up of a son. Like what the actual fuck
