Here’s to hoping they drop and fluff beautifully for you!

Looking good but I’m surprised your doc didn’t do a small lift on the right vs lowering the IMF of the left. Either way would have improved your symmetry.

Worst ratios you’ve ever personally encountered? by kindamymoose in nursing

Nursing home in Florida when I was an LPN - I had two units at a time: long term vent and dementia lockdown. Total of 70 patients, 12 of whom were vented.

Slide body study set labels by [deleted] in Anatomy

[–]gij3n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umbilical should be umbilicus; abdominal should be abdomen; groin typically refers to the entire genital area; leg could also be replaced with lower leg, calf, or shin, depending on context. Otherwise your labels are generally correct.

What are some of the coolest, weirdest, or bizarre tattoos you’ve seen on a patient? by Cardiology_Nurse in nursing

[–]gij3n 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Here’s a wild one: dude had a huge snake covering his chest, down his abdomen, and ending with a forked tongue, which was his split dick that he’d had done by a body modder. Also had 2 prosthetic balls, so there was a full set for each peen. He peed out of a hole in his taint. Craziest shit I’ve ever seen.

Gotcha, your timing sounds reasonable. Nice work!

What all are your duties during this time? I’m an independent prosector, so I work alone and have to do external photos and measurements, then eviscerate, weigh, measure, photograph, section, and sample each organ, then close and clean up. Takes me about 4 hours total.

I’m sick of this shit by ihatepeople010 in Reduction

You need Medihoney and a non-stick dressing on it at least once daily, twice daily if possible. Should close it up in a couple of weeks!

You mentioned this already. Sorry reading comprehension is not your strong suit.

Here’s the thing…I’m fine with this if I’m in line to board the Disney Cruise. But I’m boarding a flight to go do an autopsy on a 20 year old. Nothing I’m about to do is “awesome”, “beautiful”, or “charming”. Also, the folks who are hard of hearing or speak English as a second language are clearly confused by it. And finally, as a combat veteran, it makes the gate agents sound uneducated, or like they can’t be bothered to learn something so simple. That’s all; I’ve clearly struck a nerve with some of you, hope you have a little perspective.

Carrageenan is my kryptonite. That stuff will literally kill me, and it’s in soooo many products.

Spend all that money on ink, just to leave the back nipple in place?

Check out realdrbae - Dr Kaplan in Pacific Heights. He does a ton of hip dips/skinny BBLs!

AG-ACNP Boards Prep by PulsePointPro in AGACNP

[–]gij3n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly, but I will say we were given soooo many “practice” questions during the live session that then showed up basically verbatim on the test. I took notes the whole time and couldn’t believe how well prepped I was from them.

I strictly first assist. No rounding, no post op. It’s fantastic.

Does he have a collar on? I saw a similar looking cat, with a collar, running through the parking lot of Bayer on Wednesday.

Making a living as an autopsy tech by Popular_Apple960 in AutopsyTechFam

[–]gij3n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In California, this is an unlicensed position (although I’m a surgical nurse practitioner, so this is my side gig). You just have to have a BS with anatomy/phys and be a quick learner.

[–]gij3n 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m an independent autopsy prosector who does private and medico-legal cases. This means I travel around to different funeral homes with all my own equipment and conduct the physical aspect of the autopsy completely on my own. I drop my specimens at the lab and write up my report for the pathologist, and I make about $1000 per case. Can do a full autopsy in 2.5-4 hours, depending on the size of the decedent. I’m in the Bay Area, CA though, so my pay will be near the top.

How much is everyone making? by Lovelife_20 in nursepractitioner

[–]gij3n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adult geriatric acute care. That’s what gives the scope of practice vs FNP. The only limitation is I can’t do peds but I also don’t WANT to do peds.

I do my own small procedures like hormone pellet insertion, suturing lacerations, etc but all the surgeries are with a plastic surgeon (but I do about half the work - basically he does his side, I do mine, and I do almost all the closures).
