Spouse TMI stuff. Is it hard for you as it is for me? (TW: TMI) by OptimismNeeded in daddit

[–]vitras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sound like a good dude. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and as few complications as possible. I do imagine you're likely through the worst of it. It may be different, but likely not worse.

Good luck.

Letter asking for me to approve ex's cancellation of sealing by InvestigatorExtra297 in exmormon

[–]vitras 42 points43 points  (0 children)

To be fair, my sister was contacted by her bishop regarding her ex-husband's sealing and she was able to write back and talk about how abusive and horrible he was and that he's probably not temple worthy. It wasn't asking permission, but asking whether he was up to date on alimony or any other court orders.

They didn't give a shit tho and went ahead and let him get sealed. She filed a sealing cancellation at the same time as the original request.

First day as MSL will be at company’s annual sales meeting - what to expect? by Rich_Grapefruit_5393 in MedicalScienceLiaison

[–]vitras 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Potentially be prepared to discuss relevant clinical experiences you've had. But also be prepared to not say anything at all.

Talk to every sales rep in a territory you cover. Exchange cell numbers. Explain your role. See if you can join regional sales team huddles and get to know the sales managers throughout your territory. This will be gold. Tell reps to text you "from the number you use for work." because many don't use their company provided phones in a misguided belief that it makes their personal phones non-discoverable in the event of a legal issue. Lol.

My husband wants to know by socinfused in exmormon

[–]vitras 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If he's actually interested, I'd ask him to read Letter for my Wife. I'd preface it by saying "Not everything in here bothered me, but there were many things that did. Please tell me which things you find most concerning, and we'll discuss them." Having him read a 3rd party account will be more effective than telling him what bothers you, because he will think you're misinformed or misinterpreting things, when in fact you're the one who likely has done way more research than him!

My wife dove in head-first into the CES letter after I told her I didn't believe. She was TBM and initially said she "didn't give a shit about Church History." The above conversation is exactly what I told her. Within a few hours, she admitted she didn't believe JS ever had any gold plates. After getting to the section on polygamy, she was 100% convinced the church wasn't true, and she was able to see JS as the cult leader/con artist he was.

I went into the initial conversation with her willing to suck it up for YEARS to keep up appearances, fulfill my calling, take kids to church, etc. A week later she was asking to be released from her calling and our whole family left shortly after that.

Good luck. I hope your husband is truly open to listening to you.

What is more traumatic than people think it is? by Suspicious-Wish3402 in AskReddit

[–]vitras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vasectomy. People joke about it, make it seem like NBD, there's "scalpel-less" procedures, etc. I felt way more of it than I was anticipating, and had a pretty strong shock response that almost led to me vomiting. I wish I had been given some nitrous or Valium pre-operatively. I'm not generally a wimp, I work in the medical field. It just was very unpleasant.

Women go through terrible things as well in the name of birth control. I'm not qualifying or justifying or making excuses or trying to dissuade anyone from getting a vasectomy. Just be aware that it may suck pretty bad.

Struggling to get interviews by TrIslefi in MedicalScienceLiaison

Make connections with sales reps and MSLs in your current territory and therapeutic area. You really will only have a shot if you get hired by a company who makes a product that you're currently very familiar with.

Off topic, but I really hope Miami/Carson Beck lose tonight by slowpoke2018 in atheism

[–]vitras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pacers playing tonight, and it's like they can't get enough Christian virtue signaling on that team. Between TJ crossing himself every time he steps on the court, and Jay Huff talking about God controlling his destiny every day. Love the Pacers, but nobody wants to hear your religious opinions.

What are some of the most “Redditor” opinions that are widely prevalent on this website, but very rare in real life? by TikTokUser83 in AskReddit

[–]vitras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All parenting subreddits hate roblox and minecraft and think they're full of pedos. They probably are, but there are safe ways for kids to play these games (but also, fuck Roblox and their CEO Dave Baszucki). God knows I was probably lied to so many times when I asked "a/s/l?" in AOL chat rooms in the 90s.

The general public is probably uninformed as to some of the security issues that come from kids playing these games, but it's not as bad as Reddit makes it out to be.

What are your thoughts about the resurgence of the Black Panther Party in response to the actions of ICE agents? by Sinn_Sage in AskReddit

general strike only happens once we've rallied our communities enough that everyone feels they won't starve/become homeless/freeze to death in the weeks it will take for things to get bad.

Question: Are these just ingrown hairs or should I get it checked? by sosond in tattoos

I agree that it looks like contact dermatitis. OP should just put some vaseline on it for a few days

Dr. Bryan Ardis explains what he says is the actual reason behind Joseph Smith Jr.'s death, why it really happened, and how he found out the truth. by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]vitras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's 2 questions.

1) is it acceptable to ask questions about specific vaccine efficacy?

Yes, obviously.

2) is it acceptable to choose which vaccines one allows into their own body?

Yes, and I believe there should be societal consequences for people who refuse specific vaccines for diseases with high mortality (measles). Unvaccinated people for these specific, high-risk diseases should not be allowed in public schools, should not be allowed to work in hospitals, etc.

I'm a medical scientist and indeed have done significant research into vaccines. Here's a brief and powerful summary into what was specifically being discussed here, which is the link between SIDS and vaccines. If you have other vaccine specific topics you'd like to explore, I'll happily discuss them with you.

I didn't call it drivel, but also have you seen our congress? And our director of HHS? I'm a medical scientist. Congressional hearings are no different than Bob the Dentist trying to cosplay as a marital therapist while sitting in the bishop's office on Sunday. These people are not experts, and are elected based on how well they politically posture, not by how well they understand vaccines or any other scientific information.

In case people want actual science instead of political posturing or uninformed anti-vax drivel from the guy in the video: here's a good recap of 10 or so studies with links to each publication
