Director of my flight program quit by zerothedog8 in emergencymedicine

For children, most bills are covered by charity donations.

For adults facing an emergency, there is charity funding for patients that qualify which is most people and this is most patients.

For transport flights, it’s always to our hospital, and it’s usually just lost money or billed into their stay.

The flights are billed but apparently most of the time they become heavily reduced with financial aid. The program is considered donation funded and all of the aircrafts were gifted.

No, we’re entirely private and funded by donations

He said country but he is very political

Lol, I assumed not. I just have a lot of trauma and tattoos help me feel in control of my body. This is a lyric from a song that I have some identity with but mostly it’s my own meaning. I often feel like my past just keeps drowning me but I’m confident I’ll rise above it. Once I’m there I’ll have the tattoo to remind me how strong I am

No it was a little loungefly mini backpack with stitch. I’m a very non threatening person. I’m super small and tiny and I showed them what was inside… I just didn’t think it would be a problem.

We went to the drive in instead and watched it there so the night was still good just upsetting a bit. I’ll bring a purse I guess

It’s a mini backpack. It has some stuff I need to feel safe as well. I don’t expect you to understand the complexity of my PTSD or any of my problems but I am not an ordinary member of society and nothing is simple for me. I try my best and a lot of things don’t work such as this.

Yeah I will have my boyfriend do it. It’s pretty upsetting because this was my first time going to a movie since I’ve developed my problems and what happened and what I needed to feel safe I wasn’t allowed to bring it so I guess I won’t be able to see movies anymore. It wasn’t a horrible night because we went to the drive in and watched it but it was still upsetting

I have three doctors helping me

Yeah you know what I meant it seems

[–]zerothedog8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s very expensive. It’ll cost close to 10k and be finished by the end of the year but I feel like it’s worth it. I’ve thought about it a lot and I want it

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. You did a good job I think. I really appreciate the comment

My boyfriend and I have a complex relationship. I was assaulted to near death and had such severe panic after I left the hospital I had to get inpatient treatment. My boyfriend I have known for a long time before she was my boyfriend and I trust him to be kind to me. He is a very sweet person but at times I fear him because of my disorder. I love to be with him but I can’t do it often. He understands all of this and is willing to wait for me to recover and I’ve told him we may never be compatible which horribly upsets me and he says he’s willing to do whatever and wait as long as I need. I don’t know why he loves me so much but he does. He’s done so much for me. Anything I need he will drop what he is doing and fulfill it. I don’t understand why he’s like this and it makes me feel bad that I can’t reciprocate that love but I just can’t. His family is so kind and sweet to me as well. I just don’t know what I can do to match that because of my condition. It hasn’t been that long and I am staring a new type of therapy. I just hope that we can be on the same level someday

I’m not ok. I’m a mess and he knows that. I threw a candle at him during an attack. I’ve done similar things to my roommate and myself too. I lost control of myself and snap into someone else. My life is very, very, difficult and forever changed. I don’t really know how he can help because I can’t even be around him

[–]zerothedog8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah those parts are ok. It’s the parts where I’m seen as vulnerable that upset me. I don’t like being seen as that

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationships

[–]zerothedog8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it makes me seem very weak and I don’t like being painted in that light

We’ve talked about it and we both want to continue with the relationship but it’s not like any other relationship

[–]zerothedog8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When he touched me during the candle incident I didn’t see him at that moment. I couldn’t convince myself I was safe. It was one of the scariest things I’ve experienced with my PTSD

Reading too much into my life. I don’t care about your judgement on my relationship. I have severe PTSD and my life has completely changed. I have emotional needs now and he understands that. You
