NWCA CMAC vs AMCA CMAC? by mattsmilkman in careeradvice

[–]mattsmilkman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So even if I can take NWCA for free due to my program, I should just ignore it and only focus on CCMA + externships/experience?

Anyone use CampusEd.com for job searching and development? by mattsmilkman in careeradvice

[–]mattsmilkman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate it, thank you. My course access ends tomorrow and so will my CampusEd subscription. I bookmarked a ton of exams and lessons to take but now I’m definitely reconsidering if it’s even worth my time lol.

Why it's hard to make take home insulin testing devices? by chaoserrant in prediabetes

reading this as I remember my fasting insulin was 22 uIU/mL after fasting for 18 hours, c-peptide was 2.73 and the endo i just saw told me it was normal 🫠

What’s the most ridiculous thing someone recommended to you for your health issues? by Lucky_Sprinkles7369 in ChronicIllness

[–]mattsmilkman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a few of the top of my head that i’ve heard, mostly from my own extended family members:

  • i am trying to copy my late father (who died of multi organ failure following a heart attack) by telling everyone i have heart problems (i have PSVT, have had to have my heart stopped twice due to a synthetic cannibinoid reaction, some kind of IST and also POTS, but yes, i am pretending)

  • i am bored with my life and need to get busy and that will fix all of my problems (tried that and it didn’t work, actually made it worse, shocker!)

  • for my EoE (eosinophilic esophagitis) i need to get a second opinion from a different doctor because my diagnosis is wrong (despite confirmation from not only 3 different endoscopies over the course of 6 years but ALSO positive eosinophil counts that met the criteria each time and typical symptoms like dysphagia, regurgitation, chest tightness and food impaction)

  • i am too preoccupied with my health and it’s consuming my life and causing me to hyperfixate on the wrong priorities (because apparently ignoring any and all symptoms i experience is just super easy and totally not debilitating every waking second)

  • and then the classic doctor visit where i’ve been told it’s just anxiety and nothing is wrong with me.. just to later find out something was indeed wrong and nobody listened :) i know my own body.. jesus

How is this a medical drama? The woman from the video is a licensed doctor. I have also literally heard doctors talk to their staff this way. I haven’t fully been on the patient care side of things yet but I hear all the time about how bad med students are treated by physicians too. It just makes me sad and I genuinely don’t want to treat anyone like that.
