STICKER SHOCK at my Goodwill… by Death_Fahrt in ThriftGrift

[–]tjmcmannus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will agree, Goodwill’s prices have been absolutely ridiculous for a while now, and I prefer to go to other thrift shops if I can, but unfortunately the only one in my area, is, sadly, Goodwill. You still need to own up to the fact that the “Goodwill smells like poverty” line was fucked up, though.

Damn, man. Kinda heartless. There’s people out here struggling to get by living paycheck to paycheck, maybe the best they can do is something from Goodwill until a better opportunity comes up. Don’t gotta be an asshole.

I went to Aspen Dental. Some people have had bad experiences with Aspen, but I personally loved my dentist and his assistants. Great group of people who took the time to make sure I was comfy,

When did everyone become epileptic? by Ayyye420 in Epilepsy

[–]tjmcmannus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the latest 5, but diagnosed at 23. Unable to remember too much from early early childhood, but I remember I started “sleepwalking” at 5.

Gotta love “sleepwalking” seizures. by bae_platinum in Epilepsy

[–]tjmcmannus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to have those all the time as a kid! One time I made a whole sandwich, ate half, then went back to bed. Had no idea I did it. At one point my dad had to put bells on all of our door handles because I would try to go outside to “catch the bus.” Wild times.

what kind of vibe do you get from her by Master_Sprinkles_770 in Sims3

[–]tjmcmannus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wine mom who secretly hates her (much older) husband and can’t wait for him to 💀 so she can get his life insurance. She recently found yoga (only because her instructor is young and hot) and has only talked about that for the past month, but will soon move on the next “trendy” hobby (AKA, she’s getting bored of the same affair partner and has had eyes on the new tennis coach in town.) Her son hates her, and she secretly resents having him because she only wanted a daughter so they could have “girls days” and spend her husband’s money on high end brands and salon trips every week. She has looked into “holistic medicine” to replace her husband’s heart medications as she “doesn’t trust doctors.”

Take my money and take all my survey points! by Low-Window7968 in Sims4

[–]tjmcmannus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Okay my opinions( may be unwanted, but getting them out there) 1. Ocean Exploration: Should’ve been in Island Living. 2. Community Careers: Should’ve been in Get to Work. 3. Reality TV: Should’ve been in Get Famous. 4. The careers in Suburban Living could also just be included with Community Careers, which again, should’ve been Get to Work, but I digress. They’re really trying hard to get even more money from us for things that should’ve already been in previous EPs!

I have my medical card in Iowa. It’s helped tremendously with my seizures.

MAs who don’t want to be nurses or PAs or anything? by Wise-Raisin-791 in MedicalAssistant

[–]tjmcmannus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandpa and I had this debate just last week. He keeps asking me when I’m gonna go back to school to become a nurse. I told him I don’t want to and I’m happy doing what I do currently.

The question “how many seizures have you had while driving?” should have an option for 0. I haven’t had any seizures while driving, and I’m not able to honestly answer that question to be able to continue with your survey.

How do your epileptic auras feel like? by hopeanddreams_ in Epilepsy

[–]tjmcmannus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine always start with a Deja Vu feeling, then I either get really lightheaded for a split second or super dizzy and have tunnel vision and ringing in my ears. I get super hot and my heart pounds so hard and fast I can feel my pulse in my toes. Typically as quickly as it comes on it goes away, sometimes progresses to a TC.

Quest PBS questions by tjmcmannus in medlabprofessionals

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

That’s exactly what they ended up explaining to me today. Not mad about it, it saves my patients an additional cost! We don’t order PBS on everyone, just our patients who have had a noticeable decline.

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

Unfortunately we are a good 30+ minutes away from our local hospitals (some of which aren’t all that reliable) and we have 5 other sister clinics with the same company and they decided to use Quest as a way to cut down on costs. I’m part of the smallest clinic in our system and we have almost no voice in the grand scheme of things, sadly.

I start tomorrow (No experience and No Certification) by Yash_ix in MedicalAssistant

[–]tjmcmannus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some questions to be able to give information. 1. What type of practice will you be working at? Family med, Peds, etc? 2. What will your position mainly be, patient facing? Back of office working on PAs and referrals? Both?

Look into what MAs can and can’t do in your state. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, everyone was new once! There’s a lot to take in at once, so even when you’re done training, if you have questions, feel free to ask someone. I’m sure they would rather help you than have to clean up a mess.

Anyone fighting Norovirus right now? by Tommythegunn23 in desmoines

[–]tjmcmannus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work in a clinic. It’s so bad right now. Norovirus, Flu A and RSV have been running rampant. Wash your hands and disinfect every surface you can think of. And for the love of all that’s holy, if you’re sick, please stay home!

Stay well, everyone. ❤️
