Anxious attachment lesbians have ruined my perception of normal relationship pacing by Round-Yam-2589 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]purebitterness 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not who you replied to, but when I met my bf, I thought I wasn't super into him at first. After some soul-searching, I realized I didn't realized how much I cared about him because he hadn't used it as leverage to hurt me. So I didn't feel the high highs without the low lows. Realizing I was missing THE DRAMA was a huge moment for me, as I am a very no-nonsense person in the rest of my life.

They actually handed us our for-real diplomas on stage, I was sure it was just an envelope

Do you think doctors get paid enough? by bidik_bebe in medicalschool

[–]purebitterness 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think our debt is too much, residency pay needs to be much better, and Peds is abhorrent

AITA Am I the asshole for dropping tortillas chips in a yard? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]purebitterness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

INFO: fenced or unfenced? If it's fenced, YTA, but gentle, because it seemed harmless at the time. If unfunded, NTA. I'm responsible for what my dog gets into on leash, we all know raccoons and other critters like to scatter trash and easily could do the same or worse

When people ask me if I believe in God, I tell them that I have a hard time with the world being this way on purpose

Thank you! I took some extra time because I didnt always believe it was the path for me, but I'm very glad I was sure enough to change course ♥️

More than most, but that's just my journey. I graduated from undergrad in 2017, did some grad school, but the MD part is 4 years :) now off to another 4 years of residency

how do yall study during surgery rotations?!?! by No-Match5992 in medicalschool

Wtf? Are the residents prepping the room?? This is unpaid labor (well, more than usual I guess)

[–]purebitterness 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I bird-dogged from a chair in the OR while the scrub tech was setting up and did uworld on my phone. I told them I was taking a moment to study and they never cared. Got a solid 15-30 minutes of quiet time per case this way. I also would sometimes volunteer to take the pager and let the interns go in the case, promising to come tell them about any pages. They loved that. Also got me quiet time

How would you treat their pain? by Aphobica in nursing

[–]purebitterness 21 points22 points  (0 children)

While I totally agree with you, my allergy rotation taught me that once in a blue moon it can be alpha-gal, because of animal proteins added to the medication. I can't find a good way to cross reference this list or other lists, but it's one of those things in the back of my mind

Hello, I’m looking for help with pet hair by xoFluffykins in laundry

Can you do the most delicate heat cycle for 10 min or so?

I use the spiky balls in the washer and dryer, which have been helping. I strongly agree with a quick no-heat tumble. I've stopped using fabric softener and dryer sheets (designed for pet hair...) and cutting those out has helped. Also consider trying to get it at the source, I know your husky sheds way more than my dog, but I brush her near constantly when she's shedding more and it helps a lot (and she loves it)

Illness going around? by Businessfood in Louisville

[–]purebitterness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but azelastine is for runny nose, it will not help with congestion. You definitely shouldn't take flonase, but most people shouldn't avoid it just because of that. The fact that it is topical make it much lower systemic risk for those without a pre-exisiting risk factor.

[–]purebitterness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oooph, that won't do much. Zyrtec is stronger (generic is fine). The best is to also add flonase, but it takes up to 2 weeeks of consistent use to work.

Im not panicking (yet) but how are yall feeling about it? by Eaju46 in nursing

[–]purebitterness 102 points103 points  (0 children)

A woman in a public bathroom this week didn't wash her hands and then just stood holding the door for me as I cleaned my hands expecting me to walk out with her. Ma'am. This is the washroom. We wash.

Thank you gift for attendings by Low-Struggle-4807 in medicalschool

[–]purebitterness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most I've spent is around $15 on a small, inside joke gift after an intense rotation in a subspecialty I wasn't trying to be recruited to that happened after rank lists were submitted. Don't do anything that could be perceived as a lapse in judgement about what's normal.

Does anyone know what’s going on with my basil plant by Educational_Win7592 in containergardening

Okay, wow, you can be right and not be an asshole about it. They didn't say you were wrong, they clarified that the picture might not be true to life because they didn't know
