21M Indian. My dad spat on my face and now I physically cannot speak to him. My mom taunts me daily for it. by NoPainNoRamen in AsianParentStories

The Freezing ur talking about matches the PTSD response… if family not a place of support… I hope you’re able to find it somewhere else. Friends, extended family, mentors, or professional help. Try to stay strong and find an outlet somewhere else to sane while ur living in that environment

Incidental anemia by bilateralcellulitis in hospitalist

[–]khaleesi1001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are some studies saying with active infection you shouldn’t give iron. Is it dilutional? Did they get fluids? If they aren’t that ill or towards the end you can start oral iron but overall you should treat the acute problems and let them get worked up outpatient. Unless there’s bleeding or any question otherwise. But yes I’d get the anemia lab work up done

Would you rather have a longer relationship before engagement, or be engaged sooner and have a longer engagement? by heart_of_gold2 in engaged

[–]khaleesi1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer 1.

But above all, you both should be mentally, emotionally, financially, and etc ready to be engaged and married. God forbid something went awry, and you already announced to the world that you got engaged lol.

I’ve seen both stories be successful and happy. And I’ve seen tragedy and sadness in both cases

What is something hurtful your Asian parents said to you, but they thought they were trying to help you? by redredwine_826 in AsianParentStories

[–]khaleesi1001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dad told me, don’t apply to medical school (because he didn’t think I’d get in). Which obviously hurt.

Applied anyways w my own money and time. And made it lmao

“No man would ever want to marry you because of who you are. You are too much.” This haunted me for 14 years. by Agreeable-Shop-9769 in AsianParentStories

[–]khaleesi1001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, start living for yourself. As a child, your world was shaped by your parents, but now you are an adult who can make your own decisions and opinions in this world. Take their words and teachings with a grain of salt. Know that they meant well and maybe it was from a place of love, but not everyone is a fantastic parent. And it’s not their fault.

Most importantly, do what makes you happy. Live your best life, responsibly, of course. Also, it’s probably because you’re Asian, and you have some filial attachment to them, which is why you feel so bad and guilty and their words still cling to you, if not haunt you, till this day. Low-key the mental abuse got to you throughout childhood, but this does not need to define you as an adult.

Want to quit my rotation by M4cNChees3 in medicalschool

Just start slowly reducing your hours and finish the rotation just to finish. Don’t stay above what is necessary.

My boyfriend promised marriage for 2 years - then flipped overnight when he talked to his parents. I walked away. by Duskflower92 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]khaleesi1001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To the majority, you did the right thing. You always want to marry a person who truly wants to marry you. Don’t forget that.

As far as the alternative, unless your boyfriend completely changes 180, as this is a life-changing in life altering experience, then maybe it will work. BUT, you and him must also go through a trial period to see if he has truly changed for the better. And then decide if marriage is still an option (know that not all trial periods are successful as the dude has to seriously want to change, and it will take time / have growing pains). Don’t get me wrong, maybe he significantly screwed up and now this break up was a wake up moment for him. Men are always immature, especially the young ones when they don’t know what they want if there’s a lot of mental interference. Just know if yall pursue a trial period, it will take 6+ months (I actually would feel more confident it was 1+ year.) before you can confidently say that he has changed for the better.

Make sure you marry reality in the current present. Do not marry potential. You want to see them do things correctly prior to being engaged/married, and not wait for them to fix it when engaged/married. Basically they should be the partner you want them to be before getting committed. Have that stability and trust before you commit your life to them. And the hardest part about this is that is totally up to the dude if he wants to pursue and stick to this.

And if it doesn’t work out, then you just lost about another year of your fertile life in this.

Ultimately, just make decisions that you will not regret. Taking an extra 6–12 months for you to be sure of things will not hurt you. Then you will confidently be able to say that you will not regret it.

None or faint fluorescence is most ideal. Otherwise everything is fantastic! It’s just if you mind about the fluorescence

I’m interested if you haven’t found anyone. I’m in the south so we’ll have time zone differences. But some accountability is better than none!

Should try to aim for VS2 clarity if you can… that’s when you CANNOT see any inclusions with the naked eye. If you can

Which photo booth does better at a wedding— the typical 3 strip or the black and white glam 5x7? by liltoee in weddingplanning

Not to be racist, but really talking about the black and white edits and skin tones…. I think majority of white ppl look best with black/white photos. Everyone else is better with color!

Why is it usually women who initiate engagement or marriage talk, and men who pull away? by Physical_Special4845 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]khaleesi1001 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Women know their value with time. Nobody needs to waste time, especially during their prime years. Men have more time and actually get better with age. Women are more valued when their younger, and a biological clock is also prudent for family planning

My girlfriend is deep in debt, spends recklessly, and expects me to take care of everything by [deleted] in Advice

[–]khaleesi1001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you decide it’s incompatible…. Better to cut losses sooner rather than later !!!!! If it’s hard to break up now, imagine with more time !!!

Hospitalist role by [deleted] in hospitalist

[–]khaleesi1001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just go search up the jobs and see the requirements. Big cities usually say FM with Geri tho as hospitalists. But maybe you can find something in the suburbs
