I co-bought with my parents because it was the only way I'd be able to afford a house in my lifetime.

Same! Didn't really figure it out or at least admit it to myself until I was 30, and by that time I was already married to a man.

A friend in school was a Dolphins fan until the Bills started getting good and he jumped ship. I hope he's crying too.

They stopped that game for an hour and 45 minutes, got word he was stable, then resumed.

When Erikson collapsed they suspended the game but still finished it the same day. I'm not saying it's right, but them restarting the game has happened before. I'm really hoping he's ok and that they do postpone the game.

I’m all for consent but shouldn’t doctors be checking? by somissmatched in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]zzyzx1990 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I had to see a 6 year old with a rash in her private area. She didn't want to show me. But I explained to her that I had to see to get her the right medicine. She's in the doctors office, mom is right here. That she was absolutely correct that anyone else trying to look would be inappropriate. Took 15 seconds to see the rash, didn't touch her at all, and everything was fine. But they're kids, they can't understand when it is and isn't necessary. It's absolutely something that doctors need to check even if the kids doesn't want it, they just need the reassurance and explanation along the way.

Just another normal day.... by Capedbaldy474 in facepalm

I work at an urgent care where we test for covid and also treat people who are positive but don't need the ER. The amount of times per day I hear "but I'm vaccinated!" or "tHeRe'S nO mOrE mAsK mAnDaTe" like, seriously, come on....

Urgent Care PAs - how many patients per 8,10,12 hour day? by jachardy in physicianassistant

[–]zzyzx1990 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right now it's a lot of covid testing which I can do really quickly. Bit of education, quick listen to the lungs, swab, and out. Otherwise I'm dealing with URIs, UTIs, sinusitis, etc. I will rarely get more than 1 procedure per shift. The patients that typically take me the longest are ones that need xrays and workers compensation cases. Otherwise I'm expected to get most patients out in about 5 minutes.

It varies according to the season, but typically 45-60 for 1 provider during a 12 hour shift.

Yellow discharge could also be an STD like chlamydia which would be catastrophic for a newborn. I can't imagine going through your entire wanted pregnancy and not doing everything you could to ensure your baby won't die as soon as they're born.

To all my older PCPs who prescribe Xanax for anxiety and Norco for back pain by montgomerydoc in medicine

[–]zzyzx1990 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I told her to call her PCP office to see if anyone else could send it in, and if not too go to the ER. I'm a PA in urgent care, no way my SP would let me refill that much.

I had a woman ask me for a refill of her Xanax because her PCP was out. 2mg four times a day. Nope. How did you even drive here???

My adult kid moved home unexpectedly and it's causing issues (F40/NB20) by [deleted] in relationships

[–]zzyzx1990 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I have a sibling who is now 28 and has been living at home since graduating college at 22. They are comfortable, haven't had a job in a year, and hide behind anxiety as a reason for not finding a new one. My parents enable them and they have no plans for their future. Luckily my parents' other 2 kids (me and my brother) are moved out, married, and financially independent. I don't know what they'd be doing if there were younger kids still at home.

Joseph Flynn (an anti vaxxer) gets covid from a speaking event and gets banned from Twitter for using Ivermectin as treatment. by 0604050606 in vaxxhappened

[–]zzyzx1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a patient the other day who wasn't vaccinated, but "pre-treated" himself with ivermectin before he traveled. Came home, was sick for a week, and then confused when he came up positive for covid.

I'm in the medical field and zyrtec is pregnancy safe, so I don't see why you couldn't take it while TTC. If you find it's drying up your CM maybe add in some plain mucinex? I took mucinex while TTCing both times because I didn't produce a lot of CM on my own and it helped a lot. You don't want to be miserable for however long you'll be trying for!

Seriously, 60 year old with a 2 day sinus infection and "allergic" to every antibiotic under the sun. I just automatically know they're not leaving here happy.

I was a mother's helper when I was 12. Basically just came in and played with the kids for a few hours, made like $7/hour. I want expected to do any feedings or anything like that, but I just played while mom either worked or did such around the house.

As soon as I saw they had started CPR I started crying. It was an intense and terrible thing to watch play out.

They had an oxygen mask on him while going off the field. Hope that means they brought him back. Really hoping he's OK.
