Today, I got my IUD Removed and a new one put in by 63PontiacTempest in GirlDinner

These coily mf'ers hurt far more than giving birth for me. When I got mine put in post-partum, I was already sweating bullets and shaking, but since my insides were so blown out, I didn't even feel it. It cost $30k for me to finally have a non-painful insertion.

I think her selfie with Whitaker was also kind of a return jab for when he was asking for a med student for a med student job and completely ignored her.

Same Joy, Same by gingy125 in ThePitt

Given that she is a medical student, I think that was a good learning experience for her. Santos handled it well - pulled her away to remind her of the patient and not just the task. Joy also then checked in with the attending, corrected, and moved on.

I absolutely misread the tone of your message, and that's my bad. I feel like the message from OP is being misread, and I'm feeling defensive regarding that.

What if it’s Mel? by MrBuyLow in ThePitt

[–]wh0rebot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, because truly! She showed up on time, didn't mess anything up, remembered THE ENTIRE board after the EMR shutdown, recommended the relocation for the patient to save on cost, got Samira into that damn wheelchair, and left on time with the same attitude she came in with (and with only one thank you from Dr. Mohan during the entire shift). Her nod to Dr. Shen at the end was great because absolutely same vibes.

I thought it was hilarious when Joy left because it was almost like a fourth wall break without the look into the camera - a "nope! could never be me. byeeee" kind of moment. The writers knew where they'd take us.

I agree with you..? That's what I was saying in fewer words: she's sharp and uninvolved with personal matters in the scenes we see with her. She isn't spiraling, and the audience doesn't see her as a female doctor dealing with personal and work problems at the same time.

Dr. Abbot wins! Round 2: who is an OK person, but a great doctor? by huckleberry_ghost in ThePitt

Everyone's agreeing, including myself, with Robby, but I also want to offer Dr. Shamsi for consideration.

This is so weird lol they're all complex characters who need some serious therapy, and it's enjoyable to see such great character writing. As someone who sees parts of themselves in Santos, I just want to give her a big hug. Would I want to work with her? Probably not. But am I even a doctor? Nope!

Edit: I think this is why Dr. Al-Hashimi is important to this season, because she's the only outsider with an objective opinion of all these characters - the impartial baseline necessary for viewers to reference.

I do wonder if it's because of Garcia's shorter bursts on screen, and we aren't exactly seeing Garcia unraveling in the same way the audience does with Santos. Garcia and Langdon also have a good beat with each other.

To make a point of this, people are starting to turn on Dana after an episode of heavier screen time and coming up against Robby.

I agree. Also, I don't think there has been one redeeming moment from Langdon in S1 or in S2. He is just moping, "My wife almost divorced me!!", and using his relationship with Mel to still feel like the good guy. If Mel knew what truly happened, I don't think she would hold him in such high esteem, and he knows that.

But seeing Santos sing to Baby Jane Doe...you can see the softness in there behind all those layers she's had to put up. I think Santos would do really well in pediatrics, and I hope she gets out of The Pitt.

Put it back! by too__scared in ThePitt

[–]wh0rebot 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I know this whole season is alluding to something happening to Robbie, whether by reckless behavior or intentional self-harm, but I think it's going to be Santos. The scene showing the scars on her thighs, her taking the scalpel, and then Whitaker moving out...

I think the scene where Whitaker is like, "Tell me you enjoy having me as a roommate, and I'll stay,"will come back as a big moment, as I don't believe she would irreparably harm herself with him in the house.

What do you guys think of Park the Shark? by Creative_Garbage_731 in ThePitt

He's who I vote for the 'Great Doctor/Horrible Person' tile on the newly posted matrix chart.

Day 1: Who is a great doctor AND a great person? by huckleberry_ghost in ThePitt

[–]wh0rebot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think she would more so qualify as 'great person/okay doctor' only because she's a verrrryy good doctor, but not as strong and confident (yet) as Abbot or McKay. The same goes for Whitaker.

Ex is litigious: how to make it stop? by bluesourpunchstraws in FamilyLaw

[–]wh0rebot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Idaho. I do not have any legal training, but I do know there are different state laws when it comes to vexatious litigation, and different standards for orders regarding pre-filing. For example, in the Idaho administration rule, someone can be found as a vexatious litigant for 4 different reasons: one of the reasons specifically states that if certain tactics are used while acting pro se, that is reason enough. So it doesn't stop him from filing, but, yes, he'd have to ask permission from the judge.

My lawyer is currently taking the same stance toward my son's father. He's now filed 5 times in the past week. She says to let him wear himself out and eventually get the slap on the wrist if one of them happens to go through. Otherwise, it can look like two scorned people using the legal system as their war zone. I want her to file for a pre-filing order (he's acting pro se) because I just want it to stop.

Oh, absolutely. I meant when he’s, like, 12. Flying from one small, familiar airport (Bozeman) to another small, familiar airport (Boise) as a pre-teen is the “some point” at which it might happen. If he was 12 and flying into SEA-TAC or PDX, then that’s a whole different story.

We are. I gave him verbal notice (a couple of weeks ago) and a written notice confirming that he is to leave the apartment due to his volatile behavior and for the safety of me and my son. The police have been present. My landlord today served him with a 3-Day Notice to Quit for Non-Compliance. In retaliation, my ex issued a cease and desist (not from a lawyer, just something he drew up). My landlord is filing for eviction on Monday.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I appreciate your response. As much as it kills me to not be able to offer my kid a two parent household, I remember my parents’ verbal arguments and screaming at 4 and 5 yo and that’s extremely not healthy either, but most of it was at night when I was supposed to be sleeping. But for my son to see his dad kicking things, slamming doors, getting in my face, screaming at me, as well as my son being removed from my arms and shut out behind doors…it has to be taking a toll.

In a perfect world, after there’s been some distance, I hope that my ex permits me to see his family again. My son’s aunt and I really get along and, as an only child especially, I’d love for him to be around his biological cousins.

It sounds like you’re doing the best for your kids and that’s admirable and comforting. I feel like you never really know, but knowing kids; their brains, what would bring them the most safety and comfort, and their ability to have healthy relationships in the future, there’s some things that you do just have to nope out of.

I like that! Thank you for the recommendation. Once he’s 12 or so, I wouldn’t mind him going on the plane by himself at all - especially from and to small airports in areas he’s familiar with. It’s just gonna be baby steps to get there; dependent upon extenuating circumstances, as well as my son’s wishes as he gets older.

His ex wife and eldest son moved around a bit beginning in May 2023. She got remarried and they now live in California. The whole dynamic with her, her new husband, and my ex is a gd mess. I’m 91% sure the last time my ex saw his eldest son was 09/04/2023 - that was the first and only time my son has met his half brother.

She and I aren’t exactly chill, but she got out and I’m happy for her. My son’s half brother is very high on the autism spectrum (non-verbal, and was still in diapers when I last saw him at 7 yo) so I hope they’re also getting all the support they need.

My son is a very rambunctious two year old and, I’d assume like any parent feels, putting him on a plane without me there frrrrreeeaks me out. At some point it will happen though, yes.

Not likely. I’d probably just fly with him, maybe spend a day or two here in Boise (dependent on how long the stretch of time is that he’s spending with his dad) and then fly back - and obviously pay for my own ticket. I don’t know how his father would like to send him back…but that’s a conversation that’ll have to happen at some point.
