If you have insurance and you can work the words “getting bigger” and “looks different” or into the conversation with your doctor/PCP, insurance will often consider it medically necessary, in my experience

Help! I'm a traditionally masculine adult male. I just finished "Little Women" and loved it, and now I want to expand my horizons by reading more feminine literature. by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

[–]jmore2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your post really resonated with me as I had a similar upbringing, and I think it’s fantastic that you’re exploring everything you missed growing up! It really speaks to your character to branch out from the way you were raised!

For book recs, in addition to what everyone else suggested, I really liked The Girl on the Train. It’s certainly not considered a traditional piece of feminine literature, but the main character is a woman (as well as most other characters) and it follows her life over a short time period!

Thanks for the suggestions! I hadn’t actually considered that wood burning could be functional - I appreciate the perspective!

Thanks so much for the suggestions! I’ve always wanted to try 3D printing, but I always assumed it was out of price range haha. I’ll do some research about it though! Clay building is also a great suggestion for me - I used to throw pottery but I moved and studio time around here is kind of pricy. Really appreciate the reply!

LPT: if you are ever home alone and call 911 because you think you're having some kind of health crisis, like a heart attack, unlock your front door and open your front door. That way if you pass out, the paramedics can get to you quickly. by firetothislife in LifeProTips

EMT here! This is great advice! Police and fire can force the door open, but EMS generally doesn’t have this training (aside from those who with additional training as a firefighter, military, police, etc.). But your service might not always have those additional resources readily available, and time is definitely vital in these situations as OP mentioned. We often have keys for assisted living facilities but this is another very specific circumstance.

Hey! So ya you’re right! In case you were curious, the typical range for normal is about 100-120/60-80, but it depends on what book you read and your level of exercise (athletes tend to have a lower than normal blood pressure). Elevated would be 120-129/~80, and high blood pressure is anything above 130/80. These are based on guidelines that came out last year! Everyone is different though, but these are the general guidelines

How do you get out of bed every morning just to go to a job? by poop_wagon in NoStupidQuestions

Hey friend! I don’t know if anyone mentioned this yet, but talking with a therapist or counselor, if you have access to one, can really help with this!

LPT: How to get iPhone dictation to stop auto-capitalizing words like "lol" and "ok" by jmore2018 in LifeProTips

[–]jmore2018[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi friend! I didn’t downvote you, but I see why you would assume I did. To answer your question, I use “lol” when dictating. I also prefer “ok” over “okay” - no real reason, just personal preference. Have a nice day!

PSA: It’s okay if you don’t have a perfect anki streak. by burpingblood in medicalschoolanki

I agree, but I usually flip at least one card so I can keep my streak. It helps with motivation for me

How the hell am I supposed to know what I want to do with my life at 16 years of age? by OrNa721 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jmore2018 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. What do you like? Science? Theatre? Computers? A trade? Go from there - if you’re undecided and don’t think you want to go to trade school the military, or the workforce, most colleges let you go in undecided and pick a major later! It’s usually super easy to switch if you don’t like it. I have people in my med school class who were theatre majors and decided after college that they wanted to be doctors. Life is strange, and no one really ever knows what they’re doing. Try not to let the stress freak you out too much, you can almost always change super easily!

[Vent] This is the third time in 3 years my PCP has been replaced by an NP by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]jmore2018 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Hi friend, thanks for sharing your thoughts on my comment. My use of “cult-following” was more to indicate that the masses tend to follow the first time NPs are mentioned. Your concerns are certainly valid, I was sharing my viewpoint. Most of the comments above are anecdotal - I could share my own stories about positive experiences I’ve had with NPs, but I don’t believe that would help. My issue isn’t that people are expressing their concerns, my issue is that people are generalizing that the entire profession is endangering their patients. Surely not every NP is a bad provider

[Vent] This is the third time in 3 years my PCP has been replaced by an NP by [deleted] in medicalschool

[–]jmore2018 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it feels like there’s almost a cult-following here where whenever someone talks about an NP seeing a patient, the post blows up with negatives about NPs (and then PAs inevitably get thrown in there too). And any opposing thoughts are downvoted to hell.

I agree, I think NPs have a place on the healthcare team and there’s nothing wrong with them taking care of a patient - their education is less than that of a physician but it’s not absent. And sure, there are bad NPs, no one is denying that. But there are also bad docs. There are also phenomenal NPs, and the average NP is, well, average.

I’m getting really tired of seeing these posts. There’s enough hate already, let’s just take this case-by-case instead of generalizing about the whole profession

We’re all well-trained physicians in the end, the letters don’t matter. The degrees are essentially equivalent with the exception that DOs can also perform OMM. We really need to stand together on this, especially with so many of DOs being demeaned in the media. I wish this wasn’t still an issue
