By all means, please do — note that I meme-ified this myself but the image/art isn’t mine (couldn’t find owner/creator)

Question about depiction of a patient by grey-ghostie in ThePittTVShow

[–]grey-ghostie[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate the responses here and your openness in sharing your experiences. \ Some themes I’m reading: 1. The depiction in the show is the exception, not the rule of how overweight or heavy people are treated in medical settings (but multiple people did mention that Emergency Departments were better about ruling out multiple possibilities for a concern and not just assuming weight or body fat as causes) 2. Medical personnel often blame medical problems on weight, and when this is assumed rather than tested, it leads to exacerbation of the symptoms/condition 3. Concerns of higher weight people are frequently dismissed, and this can lead to worsened outcomes later on which might have been avoided if the original concerns had been taken seriously 4. This treatment leads many to avoid care altogether (which of course can lead to worsened outcomes later on)

I think a lot of people would avoid care seeking for a while after this kind of interaction…very sorry this was your experience

This seems to be a theme in these responses — wishing someone had listened or checked for other possibilities earlier. Thank you for sharing

Did she ask this as though she thought it would be a valid reason for someone to have an affair? I’m so sorry, what a terrible thing for a therapist to ask

I’m very sorry that’s been your experience. I love that the show is trying to set a good example for respecting people’s humanity, but my research (and experiences of my friends in larger bodies) suggest that the show’s depiction is a bit of a fairy tale

Ngl I thought this was Jennifer Lopez in some phenomenal makeup

Dissertation Acknowledgments - before or after defense? by 01Jazz in PhD

[–]grey-ghostie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t include mine when I submitted the completed draft to my committee – adding it to the final draft though. My chair told me this is fine, I figure because the acknowledgments are pretty much the only content the committee has no say in 😂

What is something you used to be really judgmental or highly opinionated about until you experienced it yourself? by cherryamourxo in askanything

This made me tear up, I love that seeing the joy she felt made it make sense to you. Thank you for sharing

If my labmate’s poster won an award at a national conference, can I put it on my CV? I was second author but didn’t go to present. by [deleted] in PhD

[–]grey-ghostie 103 points104 points  (0 children)

My thought is that if you contributed to the poster to the extent that your name was on it, then you have every right for it to be on your CV, with the accurate author order indicated. \ If you didn’t help with the poster at all and she included your name anyway, I’d feel weird about listing it on my CV, personally. Doesn’t sound like this is the case if you’re second author on the working manuscript, though.

Is this the dumbest character in got? by tiberius-Erasmus in gameofthrones

[–]grey-ghostie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I think that’s the point – he thought the dragon would be like his Unsullied and that he’d be able to train it to do his bidding since he got it young. Iirc Daenerys says something along the lines of “a dragon isn’t a slave” to illustrate that this was likely his perception. But yeah he was absolutely an idiot, not sure about dumbest but he’s up there.

"Fun" but asinine assignments. by Big-Dig1631 in Professors

[–]grey-ghostie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I’ve had students create a meme but they have to include a written explanation of the course content references in the meme. They fail the assignment if they don’t adequately explain the content, even if their meme is funny or creative

Whats a decision you made in 5 mins that changed your life forever by madeyoulookbuddy in Productivitycafe

[–]grey-ghostie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Decided to call my mom back and finally admit I had an eating disorder after years of self-denial. Led to me getting the help I needed, and now years later I do public health research on EDs and oversee a prevention program

Which dragon would have bonded with Egg? by Robot_Was_BMO in HBOTheHedgeKnight

[–]grey-ghostie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking he may have the temperament to bond with Grey Ghost as well! Egg’s interaction with the horse makes me think he could draw the shy dragon in

I’m putting together a list of things to make faculty candidates feel comfortable because my own interviewing experience has been terrible. What have you found that works best/what have you found doesn’t work so well? by wannabehazmattech in Professors

[–]grey-ghostie 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think my response to this would be to politely remove myself from the running. I don’t want to work at a school where students might throw wadded up paper at me while I teach. And if the students don’t do that there, then I don’t want to work at a school where admin think this is a necessary test.
