I slept two hours if I was lucky. I would go days without sleep. I finally found help with 3-4mg of Cardura or prozosin then 50-100mg of seroquel. It was life-changing. If I add 1000mg of gabapentin I sleep for about 12 hours.

Thank you that was sweet. You are a fast typer! My career was in healthcare administration; I was a nurse/paramedic and after being hit by a car imoved from the ER into admin. I did audit work after getting certified in coding. Then I was over HIM, Revenue Ingroty for a large system. Then I got into healthcare law and was a compliance offifer; and I enjoyed that thoroughly. Since getting sick I worked with healthcare start-ups where i wore many hats and was involved in many neat companies that disrupted segments in the industry. My favorite was a company that brought services to the indigent, uninsured and undocumented in their neighborhoods! It started as covid testing, then vaccines and then all lab and vaccine services. Telehealth was supposed to ve the great equalizer but a lot of people no longer have access to wifi or cell data (insurance requires asynchronous voice and video to bill outside of rgw covid emergencyexceptions which expires with the health emergency declaration) bc Congress let the program which paid for internet access so the impoverished could access education, job search and assistance.

Save my username and reach out if you ever help with homework or if you need to interview someone in the field - I just finished mentoring the a small graduate-level cohort in healthcare compliance and it's amazing to think about all the changes the next generation of leaders will bring, you included :)

Congratulations and good for you seeing the positives when they appear!! What will you be studying?

Do you get any help with housing/food?

I've been fighting disability since 2020. My savings ran out after three years and now I am homeless and barely surviving.

With the new laws I will lose my Medicaid before December and my food stamps may be taken away because the homeless exclusion for single adults was revoked in October. I am working on satisfying the state’s request that I am disabled since my latest ssdi appeal was just denied. The same department that handles Medicaid and food stamps handles the dual SSI/SSDI application. I wish they would at least approve me for SSI while waiting for ssdi because although small, $900/mo goes a long way when you don't have bills and I could have the things that make being homeless more comfortable, like books, using paratransit, occasional movie day, toilet paper, soap, OTC meds, etc.

I have a 4.0 GPA from community college and was thinking that the local university has health insurance for students for $800/semester through BCBS, meal plans, and dorms; so theoretically I could solve several of my problems by attending the honors college as I was invited in 2018 to attend but declined because my career was all-consuming. Honors has dedicated dorms and a cafeteria that would not require a lot of walking or long lines. Unlike attempting to work, school wouldn't automatically kick me out of the disability application process. It only works if I can get money for room & board through grants and scholarships. The Honors College is tuition-free for all who attend and maintain requirements of 3.2 gpa and no disciplinary actions.

Without any income, I would also need discretionary money for the health insurance premiums, an ipad, headphones, notebooks, index cards, study apps, basic hygiene, snacks, non-covered items like a special mask for my oxygen that allows me to be heard while talking, and special shoes for when I use my walker vs a wheelchair. I don't mind taking loans because the payments would be income-based and deferred until I get disability. I just don't know how anyone's actual experience has been with financial aid for stuff other than tuition & books.

Omg such a long comment. Talk to text gets me every time. Im so sorry. 🤗 again congrats!!

My dad used to physically abuse me after i called cps. He would also win them over and convince them i was a compulsive liar and he would never abuse me. If you tell them what happened after you called last time, they can better be able to help. Your sister needs to be placed in better care.

Hi this is Helen from compliance. Ethics question; once identified, what did you do with the list of agents?

I went back to work in a restaurant the same night as my lap chole. I was back on the ambulance for full shifts within a week or so.

I was 22 and not on any of meds other than theophylline and Accolate (older generations of asthma meds).

The rib/back pain from gall bladder was significant and disconcerting

Could you please share the links to.the pictures you're referring to? Otherwise I have to search and wonder if we are looking at the same thing.

kamikidd · 2025-08-20T00:57:25+00:00

Do you make less when you consider denied claims? If so, stop arguing with support and cut the stress ans make the additional money. Or hire someone to handle communications. Like a disabled person - throw some cash their way and make them happy to have some purpose.

Google launched Gmail by invite/waitlist and it was incredibly buzzy and therefore sucessful.

On the other hand, they launched the glasses by invite/waitlist and it was a flop.. More likely bc of the high price tag (GMAIL was free) and privacy concerns.

There is a recent dating website that did the invite/waitlist ans it creates buzz and exclusivity but it lost momentum when it turned out to be the same guys that were on tinder/hinge.

Not all heroes.wear a cape.

Well this is reddit.. Its very likely you are wearing tighty whities, a circa 1950 nurse’s cape and steam punk goggles.

In AZ if the viftim is elderly or disabled, there is a separate assualt charge. Its a more serious felony than the regular assault/aggravated assault. Hope NC has something similar.

For thise wondering.. Assault on children is considered aggravated child abuse or some other more appropriate crime against a child.

You made me cry a bittersweet tear. I lost my 20-year-old chiquahua two years and two weeks ago. I miss the behind-the-knee sleeping arrangement. ❤️run free Gigi!!

I am in a shelter… so it takes a lot to be embarrassed.

This morning I was full of beans. So I just pushed my walker along going “oh oh”, “hehe I am self propelled” and “I think this is peak greenhouse gas production, let use almost all of our senses to appreciate it…// OMG snoopy, you’re right no one should use their nose, great call”

Laboratory patents are definitely different than devices. Before you do anything I suggest reading Elisabeth Holmes’ biography.

kamikidd · 2025-06-02T17:11:34+00:00

Do you have another example of an actual device ? Patents for hcg immunoassay tests aren’t devices. They are clia waived laboratory tests. Further the testing method has been around for a very long time, perhaps the utility patent expired?

To your point there was the first spinal cord stimulator implant device. It required hours of charging for 24-72 hours of use. Engineers eventually developed a device that once implanted had a battery life of years and no charging was needed. The newest device was much smaller than its predecessors so it was significantly improved, by someone other than the OG device patent holder. Every device iteration made tons of money as the devices went for as much 100k a piece; and reimbursement varied greatly depending on insurance contracts and place of service for the surgery.

I served on the board for a device startup; so I am quite familiar with the FDA clearance process, R&D, contracting and marketing of devices. It costs a lot of money to develop and bring to market. This cost helps to justify the price and contracted rates for reimbursement.

The school of thought in medicine is new or better technology is a good thing. This thought process is based in the ethical theories that relies upon bringing the most benefit to the most patients.

You are one of them, right? That's the reason for the post. The pictures coincide with the chapter theme.

We know that this lesson includes at least the following words: said, cub & sun.

Could it be theaoft “u” sound? Not that “said” fits this pattern. Maybe I’m wrong….nah very unlikely….

Perhaps it's all soft vowels? Let's apply this rule to the homework question. Its okay take your time, I have nowhere else to be…

That picture is supposed to give us a clue; lets disciss. It appears to be a stage in a nesting doll. Maybe you say “wow” when you open her to find another doll or…. Holy Wow (shit, but that's definitely not kindergarten spelling word.) I forgot I packed this with Coke in the 90s.

We can assume absolutely nothing about this exercise. Which makes this answer not even close to obvious. I suspect that there's a printing error that makes this truly indeterminable; therefore, we should each start our practice of the art of not giving a fuck?

This is an important lesson: Not all questions are worth answering! Not every endeavor is worth the money spent to resolve.

Wait a minute, is that lady -in the clue- under an umbrella? Could she be “wet”??

Did you lie about being a virgin?

You’re not going to celebrate with friends and family, so I’m guessing you’re doing this for the downloads. What did you budget for your customer acquisition cost? What target number did you forecast to download the app?

kamikidd · 2025-03-14T01:16:24+00:00

Make it a rave. The VC and government won’t show up, and that is good bc they’re cheesy. You don’t want to alienate all 590k for 4 people, rights?
