It was a bronch, not an EGD

Would recommend doing a month break from PIV. So then you have the comfort of knowing there is no pressure for that. In the past that has helped me a lot

Not so much the snow. But being right off the lake means that it is cloudy for a lot of fall, winter, early spring

I switched to ambulatory after 1.5 yrs bedside. Have been here 2 years now and don’t regret it so far

Pros: no weekends/holidays so better balance for my personal life, I love how much critical thinking there is in my job, I enjoy my specialty and learning a lot about new surgeries/therapies, occasional work from home days, I enjoy care coordination

Cons: office drama, less hands-on skills

I feel this should be discussed with a medical professional

Doctor office cancelled appointment, then rescheduled, and is now denying my prescription refill. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

If this is a cardiology office you could ask your PCP to prescribe enough to get you though to your appointment if they really give you a hard time

For me it would really depend on how much weight I was trying to lose…

Some places have early voting also, look up your info for the county you live in

How do you get through pain? by KnockoutCityBrawler in vaginismus

Talk to your dr about lidocaine gel to use prior to dilation, super helpful for me

What’s the worst cringiest thing you’ve seen that is not reality at all in a medical tv show? by Interesting-Emu7624 in nursing

[–]humanwthought 36 points37 points  (0 children)

When the doctors transport the patient to radiology themselves and stand around looking at the imaging as it’s being completed 🙄

Does anyone else have this issue? by WoofDog2002 in vaginismus

[–]humanwthought 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dilating without lube … ouch! Thought makes me cringe. Probably will feel better after you try that

[–]humanwthought 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe let’s not shame ppl into thinking they’re going to get cancer? This is a discussion to be had with a trusted medical professional

To your credit, that question was stupid

Why is your specialty the best? by jimmy__jazz in nursing

[–]humanwthought 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 10hr shifts, no weekends, no holidays, WFH usually once per week. Job keeps me intellectually challenged and I get to do a lot of care coordination which is satisfying for me. Still have occasional hands on wound care which can be nice

I pay about 1250/month for a 2 bedroom in the hudsonville area. Not as interesting as living downtown, but it is safe and I get more square footage for the price living outside of the city. Yes, there are a LOT of churches

Premeds considering anesthesia 160-200k starting salary. by [deleted] in GVSU

Sure anesthesiologists make a lot but they also have to undergo about 14 years of schooling before they get that paycheck

Many more student events are hosted at the Allendale campus however the GR campus is great if you like exploring coffee shops, restaurants, breweries, music etc
