@sunnydcutiegirl @rn_er_c I try lay low as a nurse when I’m the patient. I had to have an appendectomy not too long ago and I heard the CRNA and RN discussing my “missing” hcg pre-op. “Hey guys, no uterus, we good.”
@ask_aubry I was a school nurse for 8 years. My students had “free” products because I supplied them and I actively recruited donations. They’re wasn’t some pad fairy that made sure I had quality products for my students.
@Shady_iguana@jason1973bob@DrEricLevi I love the Neilmed squeeze bottle. Like you, I recommend steam to help the process! I get my rinse ready and get in a hot shower. At the end, I do my saline rinse. It makes clean up easy! 😂
@roxannelwright@AlanPlotzker Anecdotal but my kid’s ADHD diagnosis was made after our pediatrician listened to/requested empirical evidence from us and his teacher. He really doesn’t have the hyperactivity component so he doesn’t present typically, at least in a short period such as an office visit.
@blm_angie@yashar@tonydokoupil Is this…satire? You’re worried about the side effects of vasectomies but casually throw out hysterectomies as a solution? There are many indications for hysterectomies; birth control is not one of them.
@Lady_Surgeon Nurse here. When my son needed emergent abdominal surgery in the middle of the night on a long weekend after a traumatic injury, I cried tears of relief when I found out who the peds surgeon was that night. I told many parents before that he was who I’d want working on my kids.
@amkipe @audreydutton Dr. Gustavel did my hip and I am happy with the results. Dr. Lindner did my husband’s ACL and meniscus, also a success. When I thought I might need a meniscus fixed up, I couldn’t decide which I’d go to. 😂
@pensmelly @archangelcrew @MissPandaBear1 Has it?I have two boys and spent a lot of time fielding questions about trying for a girl because apparently there’s some acceptable penis to vagina ratio that maximizes familial contentment. I imagine the same kind of people have lots of opinions about the absence of said ratios
@SlightlyUnripe @keyoke420 Between my 2, I have ~3 years. I didn’t work (a luxury/sacrifice). It never would have worked if I wasn’t able to commit A LOT of time to it. It was so, so hard and my mental health suffered. Potty training a toddler and breastfeeding an infant at the same time almost broke me.
@AugustCohen4@timcarvell@BetteMidler Do other mammals have to go back to work after birth, separating themselves from their offspring? Because that’s a huge barrier to successful, continued breastfeeding. As a mammal that has pumped, I will preemptively say that pumping isn’t an adequate stand in for a lot of moms.
@mpd420nola @AlanaKinrich When I was a tech, I’d wear them when I expected blood (traumas and what not). One night I took a post-ictal pt when some minor bleeding from hitting his mouth/nose. Just as I rolled him towards me so CT could place the slider board under him, he sneezed in my face. No glasses.😭
@Far_Fight_2 @LbudisaLila @Seannse I second this. I had a Yorkie that was attacked by a big dog. He seemed ok, we checked him over and didn’t find anything obvious initially. On the way to the vet, he began bleeding badly from his wounds and required surgery and transfusions.
