You'll be 100 years old and still remember that fact
Mine is the marginal cutaneous pouch of ears. I've had like, a dozen animals with injuries too it over the years and missing that on an anatomy exam means I write VERY SPECIFICALLY where the laceration is in my record lol.You'll be 100 years old and still remember that fact
Mine is the lateral head of the gastrocnemius. Spent probably way too long agonizing over it in my first anatomy exam. Had written as a note to myself “something deep to the gastrocnemius???” and was so mad to find out if I had just put the damn muscle name they would have given me partial credit.
Mine is the pes anserinus. Knowing that one actually got me big bonus points with one of the surgeons at my rotating internship.You'll be 100 years old and still remember that fact
It’s that little flappy bit of skin on the lateral ear margin. I think we learned it as Henry’s Pocket but I don’t think it was an exam question for us 😂
I have no recollection of ever learning what that was called, but I would like to report that I was handstripping my dog’s ears tonight and informed Henry that that was his pocket and it is definitely named after him.
was he happy to learn this
He was really just in it for cookies, so hard to say.
I found this to be incredibly fishy. I kept getting calls from CVS saying I could have a dedicated nurse I could talk to about my health if I was having issues, etc. I chalked it up as CVS BS because seriously, **** CVS, but then they called my SPOUSE, who wasn't even on the same insurance plan at the time because we weren't married yet. I called BCBS pissed because the CVS recording kept saying they were calling on behalf of them. It is in fact a "benefit" of my insurance, but it's basically just a way to gather data on "how you're doing" instead of just what your doctor recommends.
Wild. I mean like seriously they're offering a $100 visa card for completing it so like why? I smell fish but im curious enough and though I know im not going to change anything Im happy to be a very squeaky wheel that regrets calling me.
I need to read more about it tomorrow at work. From what I’ve seen so far they become your PCP and you get free video visits and chats with your “team” which includes an NP who is your main contact, a physician, and a ‘health guide’. Then if needed they give you a “care pass” to go in person somewhere and it waives the copays. I could seek out in-person care myself under the plan but it covers less and has higher deductibles/out of pocket max if you do that without their little passes. I rarely go to the doctor but you never know what will happen. Rural healthcare is a joke anyway, so idk that there’s any good options.
Despite the CVS thing, I have genuinely liked BCBS (having said that, I’ve also had the best and most expensive insurance plan offered my whole life). Their agents are friendly, helpful, and understanding, and I’ve had very little issue getting things covered. For reference, I needed some ingrown toenails fixed which usually aren’t covered under insurance, but was able to argue medical necessity and even got anesthesia for it covered. I paid $0 for that procedure. I have little experience with other insurance companies but have always had good experience with BCBS.
I'm on my husband's insurance and they went from BCBS to United a few years ago and it's been terrible. They argue with you over everything. We never had issues with BCBS. I also grew up on BCBS and it was great.
Overall I like bcbs I feel like they are like "least evil and pita" outside of normal insurance bs I honestly cant complain much. They did cover 2 heli rides to the tune of about 170k a piece
Hopefully for nonviolent/ not bad things
Reasons we don't go out much 😆Hopefully for nonviolent/ not bad things
Like can you imagine “ah yes that’s my server, he’s on bail for aggregated assault with a weapon”
And people wonder why most ERs require upfront payment for anything over a couple hundred 🫠
lolllll I would love this. Yes hubby please spill all the tea on everyone we know
My friends kid is getting clothes and books from me😂 she’ll be 7 months. The 2 year old is also getting clothes and books but I threw a car in for him too 😂
I love this idea! I'm going to steal this if I ever have a kid.
My grandma has done this my whole life. And even now that I’m 36 she still gets me one every year.
Yep my mom did this for me growing up. I started doing it for my husband when we got together. Now for the baby
I haven't used it on any personal pets but used to prescribe it when I was in GP. Unfortunately I don't know that I would be comfortable with any NSAID in a dog with a history of (presumed) NSAID-induced gastric ulcers, especially without also having them on gastroprotectants. It may be lower risk but the risk is not zero - its target (PGE2) is still protective in the GI tract.
Thank you for your thoughts! That is my exact concern
Agree with WZ. One of my worst ER cases ever was a giant newfie that basically bled out from NSAID-induced ulcers (he got like two doses of carprofen), couldn't get blood into him fast enough. If you already know your pup could have an issue, I'd never look at that as an option again personally. And if you feel you have to, I'd be aggressive with omeprazole, sucralfate, and talk to an IM about misoprostal (the miso is a little controversial, especially as a 'preventative').
Thank you so much for your input! I am definitely extremely weary about putting him on any sort of NSAID again.
