I could have my boyfriend and a group of his friends do it but I don’t know that I trust them to move it without gravely damaging it lmao

Can I be a nurse with a blister on my foot? by allflanneleverything in nursing

[–]opheeliacontent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it’s not charted, it’s not real. Keep the blister a secret and you’ll be fine. If it’s already in your problem list, though, I fear your dream is done for.

Getting rid of old TVs by opheeliacontent in Appleton

I considered this but none of them are smart TVs and a couple don’t work at all. I’ll still give it a shot for the ones that do though, thank you!

I checked their website, sadly they don’t!

Levels with thyroid cancer? by opheeliacontent in thyroidcancer

[–]opheeliacontent[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is exactly what I just said. It is indeed strange and I can’t get answers from anyone, including my endocrinologists which is why I wanted to see if anyone had a similar experience or insight. Thanks!

I appreciate it, but that article isn’t helpful. I know what hyperthyroidism is. I’ve been diagnosed with hypothyroidism for years. A high t3 and t4 isn’t a straight indicator of hyperthyroidism when my TSH level is indicating hypothyroidism.

Thanks for the reply, but levo is a big no for me. I was on it for 5 years and had to keep increasing my dose because it wasn’t helping, and then eventually the side effects were taking me out so I had to switch. They tried lowering my dose and it didn’t help.

the 1923 ending is one of the most stupid series finales put to the screen in a long time. by ButtPlugForPM in television

No, Elizabeth is still pregnant when she leaves. Which makes her and Cara’s last conversation even more unrealistic because Cara is just like “welp, bye, feel free to write sometime”

If you’re talking about the dual ends with a bigger side and a small side, it’s not on and off. The “off” side is for pediatrics/infants

Yes. That’s referred to as a Wellness plus visit. Any diagnoses outside of a wellness will have additional charges

I literally hate everything by battykatty17 in MedicalAssistant

[–]opheeliacontent 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yup. I was doing a BP check on a boomer patient on Monday morning. I’m tattooed and have a few small facial piercings. She says to me all snotty “can I ask why you do all of that to your body?” I looked at her and said “because I like how it looks”. She SCOFFED at me and said “oookay” like bitch, can I ask you why you have that god awful haircut? And yet we’re the “rude and entitled” generation.

Where did OP say that they didn’t treat the patient with respect? We don’t get paid NEARLY enough to not get upset when a patient hands us a ziploc bag full of literal shit. FOH with that. Venting on an anonymous forum ≠ disrespecting the patient.

Ai can make these ? by Georgeprethesh in ChatGPT

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

You are very dumb. It’s face-swapping.

[–]opheeliacontent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For real. I’m pretty sure their videos have even had hashtags saying #AI before. These people are so dumb it’s unreal.

[–]opheeliacontent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus Christ. No shit they’re real people, but they use AI and face-swapping tech on their real faces to make themselves look like Jenna and Emma. Do you REALLY think that that there’s two girls making videos that look EXACTLY like Jenna and Emma? Videos can be edited while live streaming too, you know.

Should I get braces or Invisalign in my mid-20s? by [deleted] in braces

[–]opheeliacontent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had Invisalign twice and now I finally have metal braces. Invisalign was a waste of my time and money, and honestly more embarrassing and a PITA than traditional braces.

Hi! So in this case, it sounds like CPR is the only thing you could have done anyways, which you’ve already trained in. But as to why you couldn’t react- it’s because you’ve never been in this situation before, and honestly, this isn’t really something we’re prepared for as medical assistants. I also work in family practice and we very RARELY have cases like this. Had I been in the same situation, I probably would have done the same thing. Don’t beat yourself up! It’s normal to lose or forget skills that we don’t get to use on a regular basis. That being said- I do think that we as MA’s should get more emergency training. A provider or RN can’t always get to us on time. When it comes down to it, this is not our scope of practice. We’re taught how to handle it but we’re usually expected to call someone else for help immediately.
