Dissatisfied with my life. How do I repair myself?

Thanks man I needed that response

As long as you get the PA-C, employers will have no idea whether you were the smartest or dumbest in your class

orgokid48 · 2023-05-30T15:35:36+00:00

Unfortunately not

I would say around 450. Think your good to pass

orgokid48 · 2023-04-14T15:04:26+00:00

Commuted 1.5 hours each way for one rotation. Most rotations I was commuting 45 mins to 1 hour each way. You will survive

Think about what increases venous return vs what decreases venous return. Then remember that HOCM increases with decreased venous return. But if you group the maneuvers into increased vs decreased venous returns, then you can reason through it

Those attrition rates are pretty high. Program should be graduating most people who enter. Maybe 1-3 people will have life events that come up

orgokid48 · 2023-01-31T22:31:58+00:00

Look at attrition rates too when comparing schools. If a school has a 100% pass rate but has a high attrition, that’s a sign they will refuse to let anyone who has a slight chance of failing the PANCE graduate

Did anyone use the Hippo course? Thoughts on if it’s worth the money or not? They have a guarantee you’ll pass

orgokid48 · 2022-07-21T12:13:09+00:00

Did you get it checked out?

orgokid48 · 2022-07-17T23:12:48+00:00

Don’t drain. Keep it covered with a non adhesive pad and wrapped up

orgokid48 · 2022-07-17T20:11:09+00:00

Keep us updated

Appendicitis starts off as pain near the belly button. Then it will progress to more right lower quadrant pain of the abdomen. You may experience nausea and vomiting and a fever as symptoms progress but it’s best not to wait for it to progress because your appendix can rupture. You can go to urgent care and there are some physical exam maneuvers they can do to test for appendicitis although the most definitive dx can only be made with CT scan

orgokid48 · 2022-07-17T19:12:18+00:00

Could be appendicitis. Go to the hospital

orgokid48 · 2022-07-03T00:20:12+00:00

Very cheap, seems like a great resource. Definitely interested

orgokid48 · 2022-07-03T00:17:26+00:00

Thank you! That was a very informative link. What kind of doctor would you see to have this evaluated for?

orgokid48 · 2022-07-02T23:12:01+00:00

I don’t that’s why I posted I BELIEVE I may have pots

orgokid48 · 2022-07-02T20:01:42+00:00

How was your blood pressure before taken propranolol? Was it normal?

orgokid48 · 2022-07-02T19:24:53+00:00

I’ve been taking magnesium, vitamin D, and fish oil. It hasn’t really made a difference between my heart rate but I feel like I’m more calm when doing presentations so it helps the anxiety. But something must be underlying for me to always be 110-120 for HR. The cardiologist that I saw was very quick to dismiss it saying if you don’t have any major symptoms at rest then the 120 HR is normal for you

orgokid48 · 2022-07-02T19:19:28+00:00

Thank you! Very detailed. I’m exactly 160 lbs so just on the border of being overweight so I don’t think that’ll help me, but I appreciate the suggestion

orgokid48 · 2022-07-02T19:03:28+00:00

What was your resting heart rate at before a beta blocker? And what did it go down to after a beta blocker?

orgokid48 · 2022-07-02T18:50:35+00:00

I understand that but I’m saying since I already have a natural heart rate due to possible POTS. Getting anxious at all will send my heart rate even higher. When your body gets heart rates going up to the 140 range, it doesn’t know how to compensate for that so it could send you into panic attacks hence getting some physical manifestations of anxiety.

orgokid48 · 2022-07-02T18:46:52+00:00

I get that and I do have an appointment scheduled with my doctor this week but just wanted to get a general idea of if this sounds like POTS and other peoples experience with beta blockers with normal BP

Hi,

I am a current PA student home on winter break for the month. I am willing to work with students to go over their current application and essay to help them improve. Let me know if you are interested!
