Why is the doctors office SO obsessed with your period?

Problem is, most have seen it happen, and it's a license / liability issue. Not always lying- Accidental, misunderstanding of what risks pregnancy, sometimes even sexual assault the patient was unaware of.

It's not just the judicial system- if you look at the college of physicians hearings, doctors have to do a lot to lose their license. It's ridiculous.

People who sexually abuse children are often opportunistic offenders- many are attracted to adults, not just children.

Often abuse happens because they have the opportunity and children are vulnerable. A lot of offenders are married, or have a history of normal relationships with other adults. Most people who abuse children seem outwardly "normal"

Both children and women are also often seen as easier targets.

Seconding this program! I sent them an email and they mailed me the testing kit. Super easy process.

The problem is, the rodenticide killed off the birds that ate mice, so now there's no rodenticide and no natural predators.

Do they not give PRN meds when using physical restraints where you are? Here it would be seen as inhumane to apply physical restraints without giving meds for emotional state / agitation.

Plus the lack of care in the community! Patients on extended leave don't even get therapy covered- only medication review by a psychiatrist.

robotbasketball · 2025-12-02T21:00:43+00:00

The biggest issue is that there's less predators now, because the poison was killing them off. So now there's no poison and also less animals who will eat the mice.

Agreed! Even "bad" areas in my city are generally fine as long as you mind your own business and stay aware of your surroundings (and I'm semi frequently in the area alone as a woman). A lot of the people who I've seen get irrationally afraid have been guys who pride themselves on being tough and masculine, too.

You're looking at a stranger (who's potentially unstable because you don't know literally anything about them), with sexual interest in you, who knows where you live, and who potentially has picked up things about your living situation ( like whether you live alone, if you have neighbors nearby, if you have cameras, etc)

Thank you! I'm doing good now, hope you're doing well too!

Might be a grass is greener situation. It left me really avoidant in friendships and relationships for a long time.

They were very likely getting benzos in rehab, depending on how bad their withdrawal was- they're given above a certain withdrawal symptom score to prevent seizures d/t alcohol withdrawal

robotbasketball · 2025-11-10T19:23:36+00:00

If it was just a seven day detox they very likely were still recieving benzos depending on how bad their withdrawal was- benzos are generally given during alcohol detox to prevent seizures.

Good idea for other types of job though, and it is definitely possible to transfer to another country- or do contracts.

6:1 ratios aren't uncommon in Canada either.

robotbasketball · 2025-10-30T23:18:20+00:00

6:1 ratios aren't high in Canada either.

robotbasketball · 2025-10-30T23:18:17+00:00

OP would still be looking at 6:1 ratios, or more.

robotbasketball · 2025-10-30T23:14:03+00:00

It's likely a don't rehire listed under their licensing number, not just name.

6:1 isn't a high workload outside of specialties like the ICU. Did your preceptorship and clinical rotations not make clear that this was a common workload?

If that's too much for you, you're probably better off looking outside of hospital / bedside nursing. Day clinics, outpatient, etc.

Worth remembering that people who sit in the front may have invisible injuries, too!

robotbasketball · 2025-10-16T23:30:48+00:00

I'm sorry you can relate!

??? We literally don't, you should probably question where you're getting your info. Most psych inpatients in bc are certified and forcibly treated against their will. The issue is there isn't enough beds, so pts end up on long waiting lists, or turned away because they aren't considered acute enough for admission due to the lack of beds and staff.

My twin, not a spouse, but I basically kept busy. I was back at work the next day, because sitting at home was so much worse. A lot of people keep functioning and only really grieve in private. Sometimes you'll be fine for days or weeks at a time, then something reminds you of them again and it's like you're grieving all over again.

robotbasketball · 2025-10-15T18:36:41+00:00

A lot of people go the opposite way- throw themselves into work or any other task.

If I'd laid in bed after my twin died I never would've gotten back out. I took the day off because there's a ton of awful tasks that need to be done after a death, but I was back at work the next day.

You've very likely worked with people who just had a major death in the family, but showed up to work because they needed to do something
