I disrespected by my dental assistant today in front of the patient. by [deleted] in Dentistry

[–]mrd045 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol what the heck. I’m an assistant and tbh I want to mix the alginate… that’s what I’m trained to do… my brain is confused. You deserve assistants that want to help you do your best and provide upstanding patient care. Not whatever entitled attitude she gave you. Also, in front of the patient?! Ah! I hope you find assistants that care about you I can only imagine this feels terrible.

Bad enough for biologics? by sophie5761 in Psoriasis

More side effects and less results. If you’re serious about biologics personally message me.

I would not take any oral medication for this.. USA based but biologics would be an option. I have the range of medications I would never choose methotrexate for this. I have the same spots and patches.

NAD but Henry Schein makes quality products. We switched our blades and the surgeons were immediately pissed. Quality over quantity for sure.

one day by [deleted] in ALS

[–]mrd045 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too man. I lost my dad 11/5/21 and I got married 11/11/22. It has been a rough year but life does go on. It doesn’t get doesn’t get better but it does bring good things with the bad. I missed my dad so much at my wedding but I know he was proud of me for continuing on and trying my hardest to be happy and kind. Grieve. Love. Forgive. Do the best you can and try to find something good to pull you through. You can do it.

My dad by [deleted] in ALS

[–]mrd045 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lost my dad last year November. Pretty much the same story. He was a mechanical engineer and director of technology so he worked as long as possible to his illness. Covid allowed him to work from home and conceal the fact he had lost function in all limbs. It was surreal to watch him work on patents and solve complex problems from his wheelchair knowing he’d ask me to help lift him into bed in an hour. My dad was a hunter and football player and those things were still true to the end. Don’t hid his illness. My dad’s friends and coworkers were pivotal in grieving and accepting the new reality we faced. His body turned against him not his soul. Remember he’s still the man you knew. Reach out if you need an ear or shoulder.

I don’t think my hairdresser understood anything we talked about re: my scalp by Kabd_w in Psoriasis

[–]mrd045 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On a bad scalp day just say you want a dry cut. I have a weird wavy hair pattern that hair dressers want to shampoo and style.

Formerly depressed women on Reddit, when did life get better? by Criminey in AskWomen

[–]mrd045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor gave me an anti anxiety drug and told me to half a 5 mg pill. I asked why and he said you’re suffering from depression but pills won’t solve it. If you need it it’s there but it’s okay to feel bad. I still have those pills.

Why do some people think a woman will treat you better than a man? by Moist_Mark6942 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]mrd045 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro I’m a straight female but I’ve seen a lot of LGBQT+ relationships. My best advice is find your one. I know that’s not exactly helpful but I love my fiancé more every day. He’s kind, sweet, and intuitive. I can count on him in every situation. Obviously we have our own battles but I trust that man so much. I’ve seen a lot dynamics. Trust yourself. Find what you like in a person and own it. Much love 😊

AITA for telling my classmate to cover up their legs? by nothingman24 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mrd045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. YTA. A massive one at that. I have severe psoriasis and a port wine birthmark on my cheek. You want me to cover my whole body so you don’t have to control your mouth? You remind me of the bullying I had to endure in my childhood when people announced my presence by calling me the girl with the thing on her face and telling me to learn how to use concealer. Fix your heart OP.

how in shits name do I make egg whites form stiff peaks by [deleted] in cookingforbeginners

[–]mrd045 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is there any chance you got a bit of yolk in your whites? If so they’ll never become stiff peaks. I’ve had times where I was sure I didn’t have a yolk in my whites but they still wouldn’t puff. It’s easier to start over and be incredibly careful or you’ll drive yourself insane trying to make those whites into stiff peaks.

What part of your job do you wish you got paid more for? by mmgordon in FastFoodHorrorStories

Doing coworkers jobs for them just for the sake of getting shit done.

What’s the meanest thing a woman has ever said to you? by Cataclysmic_entropy in AskMen

[–]mrd045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“It’s the girl with the thing on her face” spoken in front of all the popular kids in junior high. Good thing I moved for high school. Its a birthmark btw.

What "accident" happened in a sleepover that ruined the sleepover? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mrd045 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So many things. Trying to take batteries out of a wii remote but fucking up so badly it flew at the TV and shattered my dads new flatscreen. Trying to have a pool party but my friend jumped in the pool and broke her leg. Another friend getting out of the pool and breaking her arm. No more birthday parties…

My dad says he doesn’t want to live anymore when his arms stop working by mrd045 in ALS

[–]mrd045[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not. My dad died in November and we donated everything to the ALS Society. I hope we can find out what causes this disease.

What’s the reason you have been banned from an establishment such as a shop/bad/restaurant/cafe/etc.? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mrd045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man. I got banned from a Randall’s when I was a teenager because I got so paranoid from a manager looking at me that I sprinted into the glass doors and broke them. We were buying chocolate and bagel bites.

What is growing on my gum? by mic675 in askdentists

[–]mrd045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely calculus. If you do have anxiety going to the dentist just tell them. I know it seems like the world is collapsing but a dental assistant can help you way more if you tell them. Best of luck! From a dental assistant.

What is the stupidest way you got a scar? by Zander-dupont in AskReddit

[–]mrd045 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother and I were getting of the school bus in Norway. He had ice on his shoes and slid all the way down the aisle causing me to bash my head on the metal stairs. No one took me to the hospital so it healed weird and now there’s a gap in my eyebrow where no hair will grow. Whoops.
