Well, I actually am still a student—just counting down my final days before graduation. Thank God for that! Honestly, after spending three hours today (yeah, on a Sunday, ugh) just waiting around to get a signature, I’m officially done with the constant commuting all over town and juggling a 50-hour work week...
I’m not in anatomy, and thank goodness I’m not in pathology either! 😁 It’s actually physical therapy 🙂
I’ll likely be starting work toward the end of this year, and once I finish my residency, I’m planning to jump straight into private practice... so you'll all be more than welcome 🙂
Honestly, I just don't have the stomach for working within the state healthcare system. I want to do my job with integrity, focusing on making sure both my clients and myself are truly happy with the results.
You really ought to get this looked at properly. If you're dealing with stuff like this, you need to be on the right medication—and I don't mean the over-the-counter stuff you just grab off the shelf. You should definitely reach out to your doctor...

I always make sure to flash a smile, honestly... I just do.
I’m telling you, it is seriously tough. Back when I was in nursing school, we had to use these anatomical models to hunt for simulated tumors... Basically, there were four hidden ones in our "practice" session, and out of my group of six, only one person actually found all four. One person got three, three of us found two, and everyone else found even fewer. I honestly couldn't believe it.
But, you know, practice makes perfect. You really need to get comfortable performing self-exams—checking everywhere, including under the nipple and all around, especially toward the armpit area since that upper outer quadrant is where most things tend to pop up. Once you truly know your own body, you'll notice if anything ever feels off...
I was just catching up with my best friend earlier today... Her dad is scheduled to get a stent put in in about two months, but there’s this weird situation going on. The doctor isn't straight-up asking for a bribe, but he's heavily implying that if they want the procedure to happen soon, they need to keep coming back to his private practice for all his follow-ups. It’s costing him roughly $333 per visit, and they’ve already had several, with at least two or three more on the horizon. Basically, if they don't play along with this "private" arrangement, they're telling him he might have to wait a whole year for the surgery—which, honestly, he wouldn't survive...
You really ought to get those bronchoprovocation tests and allergy screenings done, along with a whole bunch of other stuff. Otherwise, you're just playing a guessing game until the next time you catch a flare-up and find yourself struggling to breathe...
Your spirometry results might look perfectly fine while you aren't actually having an asthma flare-up. You should really go see a decent pulmonologist to figure out what's actually going on with you. It’s very possible that it is asthma...
spavanje says: biopotential = electricity = signal transmission (Dr. Jadranko Jelić) Since our bodies move information through nerves via electrical impulses and through cells using electrochemical pathways, everyone carries a specific amount of "electricity" that can be measured by nerve responses (like when a doctor taps your knee to check nerve conduction, or when you accidentally bump your elbow). That’s how the concept of Bioenergy/biopotential really took shape. You could say it's utilized within the AMSAT system as a diagnostic tool, and in magnetotherapy as a medical method. Basically, biopotential = electricity = signal transmission
First you claim magnets are harmful, and now you're bringing up medical magnetotherapy. How does that work?
It’s getting better, but you still need a little more practice 🙂
So, when you're breaking up someone else's quote—basically inserting your own commentary right in the middle of their text—you have to format it as if each snippet is its own independent quote. Basically, you start with "B", then include the first part of their text, close it out with "B", and then write your own comment. If there's more of their original text following yours, you just open a new quote block, finish that one, and then jump back in with your thoughts. You can always double-check if you nailed the formatting by using the "Preview Reply" option.
Welcome to the forum! Just a heads-up: please don't be too pushy with advertisements if you're offering services or selling products.
I see you put a lot of effort into that long response, but it would be a huge help if you used the actual quote function! Right now, it’s getting a little hard to follow... If you just click on the specific post you want to reply to, you can write your answer right underneath it.
Basically, your quote needs to start with [B*] , and then end with [/B*] (just without those little asterisks). You'll want to type your own thoughts below those markers, rather than inside them.
