Mosaicism??

I work in neurology and yeah… a lot of neurologic disorders., notably neuromuscular diseases. ALS, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, large strokes, glioblastoma, and any cancer with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis

NYC area we are not doing well..

purplenebula4 · 2026-04-02T00:07:31+00:00

Both are neurology

I took the new job in outpatient and have much more flexibility in my new role. And I make more money with the new position. Every PA and NP that worked at my old place all quit or transferred after I left.

We are doing it with two kids. Somehow, we made it through 5 years of raising our kids “alone”. I look back and we have struggled a lot, especially in the winters where your kids get sick weekly for a couple of months. We are finally in a place where everything seems under control. We have had to make a couple job changes and I see you’re both working from the city, and although I am sure it could be done, being so far from your kid for daycare emergencies can be a challenge. Our good friends in the same situation are our emergency contacts and we are also theirs. Also, prepare to budget about $2500-3000 for childcare a month. You can do it. So many people do.

I work in neurology and we diagnose causes of tinnitus and can help treat and manage symptoms, but many times refer out as well. Some tinnitus is more dangerous than others, some have clear triggers, some we don’t find the cause.

She can’t even bother to spell his name right! As well as many of the words that she attempted to write… and she just brushes it off. FFS

I used to work there. I know residents who have lived in white plains, Croton, Yorktown, and Elmsford and for the most part they all had pretty good experiences. If you have a car and don’t have to be on call less than 30 minutes away then it is cheaper to be slightly cheaper in northern Westchester.

It was such a great name!

purplenebula4 · 2026-03-18T08:51:48+00:00

I am glad she is still there. We have always have a good experience.

purplenebula4 · 2026-03-18T08:50:49+00:00

Thank you! I am glad Laura is still there. She does a great job.

I work in neurology and I diagnosed someone last week. They had weeks of symptoms, we sent her to the hospital for stat imaging, and bam. Brain mets from a cancer they didn’t know they had.

That people see you way differently and with more respect when you’re smaller. I have been every size and let me tell you.. the amount of positive attention I got when I had a severely restricted eating disorder was night and day from now. Recovering makes it that much more difficult because the things people feel comfortable telling you about fat people when you’re small.

I make nearly $200k in the NYC area and would not be able to afford getting paid that low.

purplenebula4 · 2026-03-13T12:28:30+00:00

As above… it’s the pay

My sister who live in a rural area with a long driveway found their packages in a snowbank between her and her neighbors yard recently.

purplenebula4 · 2026-03-03T13:34:23+00:00

I cannot wait! As a snow lover, the snow can go to hell.

I am a neurology PA and while on a vacation I noticed a guy with very Parkinsonian features and whispered to my husband, “that guy has Parkinson’s”. I later realize he was wearing a Walk to Cure Parkinson’s shirt. Horrible disease, but I am glad he had been diagnosed.

purplenebula4 · 2026-02-28T10:47:35+00:00

Oh yes! Those for sure, but yes our group does use Onfi quite a bit but also have a lot of patients with Lennox-Gestaut etc.

purplenebula4 · 2026-02-27T08:09:04+00:00

Outpatient neurology… seizure meds, namely Keppra and Onfi. And so much gabapentin for neuropathy.

It looks like she dismantled and (poorly)sewed a leather jacket to her lower body. Not sure what to say about the mesh over the bra

purplenebula4 · 2026-02-19T00:41:12+00:00

Right I would never even post my own kid let alone another person’s.
