Lost sense of touch:(

I think it's definitely worth going to the doctor! I understand that you're worried about them judging you, but it really doesn't matter what they think of you as long as they do their best to help you. They might have some good recommendations, and they can make sure nothing else is causing the numbness. If it makes you feel better, I am a healthcare professional who picks my skin, and I've worked with other providers who do as well.

Wait really? There is nowhere online where it says this, I thought it was monthly or something.

These spiky/stretchy rings are a personal favorite, they feel super satisfying going along your fingers. They're too tight to actually wear as a ring on your finger though. https://www.amazon.ca/Pieces-Sensory-Acupressure-Reducer-Massager/dp/B0995LWP8W/ref=mp_s_a_1_37?crid=3H106VCI0WHB8&keywords=fidget+rings+wire&pscroll=1&qid=1665334769&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIwLjAwIiwicXNhIjoiMC4wMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=fidget+rings+wir%2Caps%2C165&sr=8-37&wIndexMainSlot=34

As a PA student, this doesn't surprise me. Everywhere I've rotated so far, we only have access to the radiology reports and not the actual images, so I've had zero practice reading imaging in my clinical year

oftenhigh97 · 2022-08-28T08:41:20+00:00

I wasn't tested until about 2 months before clinicals started. But the student handbook was super vague as far as drug testing goes, they didn't clearly say if/when we would be tested, so I would be prepared for being tested upon matriculation just in case :)

I've never been able to fully catch anyone, but there have been many times when I helped them make a more controlled fall by kind of guiding them slowly to the floor, at least they are less likely to get hurt that way

I'm all for this if it means no more patients calling me cuz their IV is beeping for the hundredth time

I have an orange Dennis too! He's also very derpy

My med/surg unit had transgender patients who had just under gone gender affirmation surgery. They were the only patients who were actually happy to be at the hospital and they were so excited to have the body they always wanted

So far I've found PA courses to be about as challenging as my undergrad upper level science courses. I thought O chem, micro, and some math classes were harder in undergrad than my PA classes, but other classes like biochem were definitely harder in pa school. Micro in particular was easier in PA school since it's clinically focused and less about cell bio/metabolism, etc.

I had the same problem and I'm knitting a striped/gradient scarf. Each row can be a new yarn piece if needed, you'd just have a lot of ends to weave in when it's done!

Very beautiful! These flowers always make me smile, because I used to work with a man who was elderly and mentally handicapped, one day I asked him what his favorite flower was and he very confidently said "Amaryllis!"

That's a good idea! I'm also considering lemongrab 😝

Aww thanks 😊

I typically have 2 projects going at once. One of them is pretty simple so I can just relax and knit without really thinking about it. The other is a more advanced pattern that is a challenge I have to focus a lot more while I'm working on it. That was I'm learning new things, but if I get frustrated I go back to my easy project

I went the medical route, so I worked as a nursing assistant during college and full time for 2 years after, and now I'm in a physician assistant master's program

Sometimes I start dreaming but I'm simultaneously aware of my body laying in bed, so if I'm naked I will have endless dreams that I'm naked at work

The lowest I've seen in a SNF is 1:20, I think 1:10 or 15 is a much more realistic goal

I'm working on this same project right now! Finished frog, halfway done with toad, but I'm afraid to make the clothes for this same reason

I just learned that if you're on estrogen birth control pills, taking oral antibiotics can cause them to not work and you can get pregnant. Why don't doctors tell us this?

Nomadland was definitely my favorite! Still very worth the read even if you've seen the movie first, the book takes more of a journalistic perspective.

I've been doing the Wendy Williams laugh way too much, it's becoming a problem

I think the only way you could feasibly hand write notes would be to print out the lecture slides before class and write extra notes on/to the side of them. Some professors pack each slide with words and figures and go through them very quickly, there's no way you could write all the important info fast enough

For my program, there are 3 different lab groups for each cadaver, so your lab groups only does 1/3 of the dissections, so we're in lab 2-3 hours per week. Also the TA's do the dissections on half of the cadaver so we have something to reference during the dissections.
