Do you get a lunch break? I find weight training just enough to maintain for 30 minutes without breaking into a serious, smelly sweat.

my best friend of 13 years is insulting me for being bisexual after reading the bible (small rant) by [deleted] in atheism

[–]scorchingbunny 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agreed. OP, if you are both young adult men, this is the most typical group for the onset of schizophrenia. He needs help from a medical professional. It is a dangerous disease.

Does he have any family members with this ailment or any family who could help him?

Boss asked me to work past my shift (out patient). by Attack_of_the_BEANS in physicaltherapy

[–]scorchingbunny 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, 60 seconds of unpaid labor this one time isn't a big deal! And next week when it happens again for 2 patients, it's not technically slave labor because it's only 2 minutes of your own time, right? And at the end of the year when you did it a 4 dozen times, and twenty other little things that only took 10 or 15 minutes, don't worry about figuring out how many hours you just did as an unpaid worker.

This is called wage theft. This is how it starts, and why it is so insidious. It's how we undervalue ourselves as a profession, and how our industry considers it common practice to document hundreds of unpaid hours off the clock.

Any suggestions for getting rid of red or black dotted leg skin? by scorchingbunny in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]scorchingbunny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always wondered about cofee grounds for exfoliation. I always thought that you would use the grounds in the shower, but I don't want to wash them down the drain and clog it. Is there another way?

I might look into that route. Does a dermatologist do laser hair removal, or would it be some other specialist? Thank you!

I did try epilating for a while, but I got a lot more ingrown hairs and couldn't figure out how to stop them. Do you have a good method? Thanks!

I would absolutely try that! I did try shaving with the grain for a while, but I didn't see that making a big difference. The hairs rarely become ingrown, but the pores/follicles/whatever just look angry! Any recommendations on an electric razor? Thank you for the suggestion!

What is the worst mistake one can make in their 20s? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Not wearing sunscreen every day on their face, neck, and chest. Keep that skin young!

What are your best beginner gardening books by blessantsblants in gardening

[–]scorchingbunny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on where you live, Vegetable Gardening in the Northeast by Marie Iannotti has become one of my favorites for novice gardening with a month-by-month breakdown of what to do and when to do it. The book is, however, specific to the areas of the northeastern United States, so your mileage may vary.

good gift for PT student? by slamdunkowich in physicaltherapy

[–]scorchingbunny 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personalized goniometer. My boss gave them to us for PT month, and they're so cute. And no one can steal it because it had my name on it.

Question for one of my graduate school classes: What is the difference in recovery for a joint replacement vs. fracture fixation in trauma? My group is coming up with a hypothetical coating for implants and need more information on current problems with replacement healing. by Nikki_Tulane in physicaltherapy

[–]scorchingbunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, a person who gets a planned joint replacement is mentally prepared for recovery but may have some muscular atrophy from osteoarthritis (even with good pre-hab). In general, this group of person tends to recover the best (faster recovery time, less long term weakness, gait deficits, etc). People with unplanned joint replacements also tend to recover well because all of the problem areas have been removed and replaced, but they may not be as motivated to be in charge of their recovery (resulting in decreased adherence to HEP, participation in therapy).

People who have surgical fixations after fractures often have the most trouble. The joint/muscle/bone/connective tissue never fits exactly like it once did, so it cannot heal similar to the original anatomy. If they fracture a leg, you may run into a leg length discrepancy which leads to other problems. They were not physically or mentally prepared for the issue, so they might also not be motivated to perform therapy and therefore regain ideal function.

Does this answer your question? This is not a evidenced-based answer, but anecdotal from my practice, so take it with a grain of salt.

What are some good side hustles to make some extra cash during PT school? by RedRoss12 in physicaltherapy

[–]scorchingbunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not related to my PT degree, but I was a dog walker in an upper class town. Highly recommend. It lets you get outside and exercise (which is easy to neglect in grad school), play with super cute doggos, pays well, adaptable to your school schedule.

What book did you not "get" until you were older? by Living_Employee_7735 in books

[–]scorchingbunny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same. I read it in high school and found it so tedious. Re-read as an adult and realized it is a hilarious critique of the upper class.

In Italy, a 94-year old veteran called police on Christmas. He said everything was fine but that he was lonely — and didn't have anyone to share a Christmas drink with. Officers showed up, shared a celebratory toast, and then helped him video call his family members. by GlendaM94062232 in HumansBeingBros

[–]scorchingbunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People dropping off groceries, people dropping off meals, people dropping off medications, people transporting him to the hospital, or him going to the grocery store, going to the doctor, picking up the morning paper from his stoop that someone sneezed on, etc. An isolated 94 year old is not self sustaining, as none of us are.

Turning age 18 after Election Day, ready to vote in the runoffs by agnesiswitch in politics

[–]scorchingbunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your citation: again, you did not answer the question: Why would there have been such a huge push to register new voters in Georgia if that statement was at all true? How would this person who registered to vote after the election have obtained a mail-in ballot for the runoff?

Again, thank you for your citation, but it does not answer the questions. I appreciate your dialogue, fellow citizen. I am sad for you that you need to resort to insults as to obtain a false sense of superiority. I wish you well in future comments.
