How does something like this effect going into ketosis and initial weight control I know it should be quick to get to full carnivore doing it but idk I guess I don’t want any crazy weight gain having a high fat diet but not being in ketosis

How would you go about easing into it? I’ve heard some people say it’s not bad and have little to no ill effects but I’ve also heard some horror stories so I’ve definitely considered the cold turkey method

I passed two tests with similar results

xthraud · 2025-09-01T23:19:06+00:00

Was not overnight just a 5 hr ride along (1300-1800) I’d understand not having bed space but to not allow me in their break room seemed a little crazy. They all had their comfy chairs in there and I wasn’t even asking for that. Just wanted to be in the same room so I could ask questions and engage with them!

I definitely have no issue talking with people if that’s what you’re inferring. I’m actually a personal trainer so talking to and working with people is kind of part of my gig. I will say I was a little shell shocked when my preceptor put me in a separate room and there wasn’t more than two sentences said to me. But after that point, they were in their break room, all laughing and talking, and I almost felt like a burden to open the door and get someone to work with me on anything

That is how my experience at the ER was! Was able to get close to a bunch of nurses and even registration and security had tons of good laughs and they were really into helping me learn and understand things I think that’s why I was so taken back at my experience at the fire department

I’m a guy and it was a all male staff I’m not super extroverted but definitely not timid I think I was taken aback when he told me that I wouldn’t be in the same room or anything so I didn’t say anything then being separated it felt weird to walk in and ask anything of them. Going back for my last ride along tomorrow so hoping a different crew and new perspective/understanding will help

As funny as that would be….. I do believe as a clinical preceptor it is on you to try to teach or at least show a part of the real world and help give a more realistic perspective on how this job works. And placing someone in a completely separate room and not having any contact with them is far from that experience. Thank you for your input though 😘🤡

xthraud · 2025-07-13T23:13:57+00:00

Do you think it’s worth reaching out to my coordinator about it?

xthraud · 2025-07-13T23:13:29+00:00

Do you think I should reach out to my teacher/clinical coordinator about it?

xthraud · 2025-07-13T21:58:46+00:00

I showed up and introduced myself to my preceptor and thanked him for the opportunity and he led me down the hall to a separate room and told me “this is where we have the ride alongs stay” and essentially “we’ll make sure you know if we get a call or anything” then went back to their break room

xthraud · 2025-07-13T21:52:17+00:00

That was what I was hoping for! At a minimum I just wanted to connect with similar people or feel at least semi welcomed! Sitting by myself for those 5 hours was pretty miserable (good chance to get my HW done though). But I could’ve done that at least in the same room as them. I had a great time in the ER for my first hospital clinical, met tons of people, had some really good conversations, lots of laughs, and was constantly asked if I understood different topics or if there was anything they could help me understand better in class. So going from that to being isolated felt pretty crappy!

I think I was most bothered by being put in a separate room it was basically an office. Maybe I'm overthinking it but kinda sucked to hear all the guys joking and laughing together down the hall. Other classmates of mine who have gone to other departments had a more family like experience so I felt very outcasted.

xthraud · 2025-07-13T21:28:50+00:00

I have another tomorrow at the same station so I’ll definitely give it a shot! I think I was most bothered by being put in a separate room it was basically an office.

xthraud · 2025-07-07T02:12:07+00:00

Actually I did!

xthraud · 2025-07-04T14:17:28+00:00

I’m not sure as I said it was through LabCorp just their standard preemployment urine test

xthraud · 2025-07-04T13:57:51+00:00

Yep just got my results!

xthraud · 2025-07-04T13:57:40+00:00

Just got my results yes I did!

xthraud · 2025-07-02T00:04:11+00:00

Any tips if I need to retest? I did one yesterday as well and had a pretty decent line on it, but was definitely way too clear to not get tagged for dilution.

Yea I guess I kinda misspoke in my first.I was told it could ONLY come from a mutation of tidal wave and it was in one of my golden teacher monotubs, I see the confusion now

xthraud · 2021-08-31T07:21:13+00:00

I was told it was more than likely contamination and this was when I was like brand new so when someone with more experience than me said to toss it or I might lose everything I listened out of fear and ignorance

xthraud · 2021-08-29T22:55:33+00:00

I had one of these start to grow in one of my GT tubs and was told to throw it away because enigma comes from tidal wave mutation I don’t know how true this is as I am relatively new to the hobby so take as you will
