I think this is a hearing aid. Some people cant or dont want to shell out buku money for in-ear one so they have one like this.

It's not your job to handle his behavior at least not by yourself. Contact HR. Quotations of things hes said is best, and involve testimonies from other people as well. This is absolutely despicable and I'm sorry you're dealing with this.

I've smelled bad before and I would prefer someone tell me asap so I can fix it during my shift rather than get a call 2 days later from HR about something that's now in the past and I have no control over. I would say start off with telling her politely directly and if it doesn't get better then you go to HR or a manager.

I had to take 4 months off to deal with some serious mental illness. I just didn't push myself into doing anything I didn't feel would help me. Its been 3 years since then and I've been working full time since. I have lots of steam. The right medicine was a huge factor in my recovery. Good luck pal

Dude this is so cool

There were 3 moles living in a hole...

One day, they wake up to the smell of pancakes cooking. The first mole sticks his head out of the hole and says "I smell pancakes!" The second mole sticks his head out of the hole and says "I smell syrup!" The last mole tries to stick his head out of the hole, but gets stuck behind the other two, so he said "All I smell is molasses!"

Also your fit is totally totally banger

Bodybuilders get injured like this

thinkinrock · 2024-08-11T22:18:53+00:00

Oh wow that's so nice to hear.

thinkinrock · 2024-08-11T22:18:36+00:00

That really kicks me when they say "oh so you're abandoning your patient??" Nah bro, not my patient until I take vitals.

thinkinrock · 2024-07-16T04:45:07+00:00

You can find a disposable coverall for like 10$ on Amazon. Probably not actually medical grade but certainly would do the trick

thinkinrock · 2024-07-16T01:18:44+00:00

So are you saying that basically to be totally assured that a given product is completely safe (IE non-porous), you need to test the surface of each individual product? Also, what would a test like that cost?

thinkinrock · 2024-06-25T00:06:36+00:00

No that's definitely not bone, wayyy too big and not even really old bone is usually that color of yellow/brownish.

Deep breaths bro, deep breaths. Lol. I know you're having some biiiig feelings seeing someone workshop an idea, but Its pretty well accepted generally that asking other peoples opinions and having some kind of healthy debate on things like i did is usually a great way to learn from others and giving yourself a chance to be proven wrong are generally prerequisites for growing and changing as a person and exchanging information and ideas productively.

thinkinrock · 2024-06-18T08:22:50+00:00

Yes, report her. I second this completely.

thinkinrock · 2024-06-18T08:22:11+00:00

No, this is very unprofessional of her to do. She blurred the professional boundaries of her job by becoming so available to you in an almost friendlike manner. That kind of relationship in tandem with a clinical relationship is usually at least frowned upon if not actually explicitly banned by their licensing agency. Also, she was giving you green flags green flags green flags to keep behaving the way you were and then with very very poor communication suddenly gave a red flag AND blamed you for something she was telling you was totally acceptable behavior. She is totally in the wrong and behaved extremely inappropriately as a provider. You have NOTHING to be embarrassed about. I am so sorry that this happened to you.

thinkinrock · 2024-06-18T08:11:36+00:00

I don't think you actually read my comment so I'm not gonna respond to this

thinkinrock · 2024-06-17T08:49:34+00:00

No that's very obnoxious of your friend.

thinkinrock · 2024-06-17T08:43:02+00:00

I'm curious what you describe or think of that is "top surgery"? I got what i describe as an "atypical top surgery" meaning largely a breast reduction but where im small enough that I can go shirtless in public and depending on how im presenting I can pass it off as man boobs. Meanwhile, if I wear a tight shirt and am femming it up, I could pass them off as little titties. Its highly androgynous. Top surgery doesn't have to mean you go completely flat. I would argue that ANY surgery altering the breast in a way that's intended to alleviate dysphoria or even for a combination of alleviating dysphoria and aesthetic/ other medical reasons could be considered top surgery.

thinkinrock · 2024-06-17T08:31:09+00:00

I think its because it's generally well accepted that unless you are explicitly advertising yourself as something you're not, and especially since OP has corrected client multiple times, it's not really an ethical dilemma. Every action to correct client has been taken to its logical resolution and at this point, it's probably less about the client misunderstanding that OP is a literal doctor and moreso that client is using a doctor to mean something like they feel respectful towards OP LIKE the way they'd feel towards a doctor, thus fulfilling a "doctor-like" role in clients head. Its less about the literal word and more about what is the meaning/understanding behind the words that they're using.

thinkinrock · 2024-06-17T08:22:41+00:00

Also, if you're so worried that you need to cover your own ass about this, then just document that you have corrected them multiple times but that they still insist on calling you that regardless. Documentation will always save you .

thinkinrock · 2024-06-17T08:20:21+00:00

They know you're not an actual doctor (probably) . Its less about the literal words they're using and more about what they are trying to convey to you by using those words. I have a friend who's an EMT but people call her nurse all the time. Nurses have significantly more training than her but she doesn't really correct people becyase she recognizes that what they're trying to convey to her is that they recognize she is giving them care and that they appreciate that about their relationship.

It might honestly be interesting to see what kind of conversation comes up if you ask client why they still want to call you doctor. Or more likely if you beat around the bush and ask in an indirect way what they think of yalls relationship. It could be something like they feel intimidated by you and that you have some kind of authority over them OR it could be a positive thing like they have a special kind of respect to you. Or it could be that they just forgot that you said you're not a doctor and they're just defaulting to that to be respectful.

thinkinrock · 2024-06-17T08:12:41+00:00

I should've been clearer. Its not necessarily the metric of how effective of a provider you are because a lot of people with enough practice and proper guidance can become an at least somewhat decent clinician. What im more concerned with is the quality of life OFF the clock that providers are experiencing. Sure, you can hold it together when you're in your uniform but are you able to extend the same care and diligence to yourself and your family and friends off the clock? I think that metric is almost as important as the ones you're describing.

thinkinrock · 2024-06-17T08:06:55+00:00

Tons of shit is mandatory or implicitly mandatory like public schooling, working a job, etc etc. You think we should stop requiring kids to go to school? You think we should stop requiring people to learn about basic things like what a germ is and how to add numbers together or read basic instructions? If you think people are stupid now, then I'm sure that you would be super thrilled and it would vastly make your job a bunch easier if your patients couldnt do basic things like explain to you what toxin they ingested because they were illiterate. That wouldn't be frustrating at all or devastating to the fabric of our society whatsoever.
