What did you do for your surgery course? Could you get a few pairs that way, just until your package arrives?
The surgery department has sterile non-latex gloves, but they won’t let students have them or even buy them unless they are on surgery.
Wtf that’s dumb
Yup. Sure is.
Also INCREDIBLY dumb.
Also super allergic to latex. Latex allergy is pretty uncommon in my experience and has been a huge pain in the butt for me as well. There are services in my school that don't even stock non-sterile non-latex gloves (so I can't participate in certain activities). My allergy is pretty severe, I react when someone puts on a pair of gloves near me, and had a hard time in anatomy lab with all the latexed vessels. I couldn't even stand near boxes of powdered gloves when those were still in use. It's more dangerous than people realize and I've come dangerously close to reaching for my epi-pen on multiple occasions. A clinician can ban peanuts in her area of the hospital, but I can't ask my classmates/clinicians to wear nonlatex gloves around me without being told to just leave and not work with the patient
Or when there are latex-free gloves, people without allergies use them all without realizing that those gloves were stocked literally just for me, so I end up working with patients without gloves because mine get used up. /endrant
Thanks y’all... idk I try to be this tough person that doesn’t have feelings and emotions, but I’m really having a rough night because of this. I’ve planned at least 4 different things now, this year alone, that she’s bailed on. More last year. She’s a great friend when she’s there, I just don’t think she gets how badly it hurts me.
I think you need to tell her. She either doesn't know that she's hurting you, or she's a POS. You seem like a really sweet person, and you deserve to be appreciated. I'm pretty anti-confrontation, so I find writing a letter is often a lot easier. It allows me to get my feelings out in an articular manor, that I can read over 100x prior to hitting send. Try to use "I feel" statements as much as possible to avoid placing blame.
that’s sucky and frustrating and it’s happened to me too
I hope it doesn’t come to that. She’s one of my best friends I’ve met in school, so it’s a little hard making this conversation... 
Nothing that we know of, but last time he ended up pooping out fabric from his kennel blanket. No new holes in anything, but can't rule out something from the yard either
what sucks is that 3 out of 4 of us were free yesterday at that time but my husband was out of town until an hour before we left for the theater today. But even if we would have checked the tickets when we got them, all 4 of us wouldn’t have been able to go and the tickets were already sold out when they got to us in the mail so what gives.
“The yard” is the bane of my existence for my own clients and patientsNothing that we know of, but last time he ended up pooping out fabric from his kennel blanket. No new holes in anything, but can't rule out something from the yard either
I'm so sorry, allie.Learned a lesson today that basically boils down to “be a responsible human and don’t trust anyone” which is pretty common sense but maybe by sharing it I can help prevent it from happening to someone else.
I was supposed to see Hamilton today with my husband and parents. We went through the whole frenzy of obtaining the tickets right when they went on sale...my husband sat on the phone for hours in a line and finally got through...we were ecstatic to get tickets for the literally the last show before it left town. We got the tickets in the mail a few weeks later and hung them on the fridge for safe keeping. Where the cascade of failure begins is at this point, when we didn’t open up the envelope to look at the physical tickets. This was back in April.
Fast forward to today, we’re all dressed up at the theater and hand our tickets to the person who scans them. There’s immediately an error and they inform us our tickets were for yesterday. We head to the box office and of course it’s a sold out show (it sold out the day tickets went on sale) and there are no refunds, exchanges, etc. Theres nothing they can do. So we leave, devastated, and I’m personally sick to my stomach over it. My poor husband at this point is worried my dad is going to banish his from the family.
What bothers me the most is that I’m 100% positive they sent us the wrong tickets or entered in the wrong date when they sold them to us. My husband is meticulous about dates, times, putting things on our calendar, etc. I went back to our texts from April and I said something like “I don’t even care that’s it’s the last show!” He put it on our calendar for Sunday at 1pm. The tickets were for Saturday at 1:30pm. My husband just doesn’t make mistakes like that. This transaction was done over the phone and there was no receipt included with the tickets. We are out $650 and I’m still just sick over it. We’re already in the process of disputing the charge on our credit card but truly when it boils down to it...it’s our fault for not checking the tickets. I just keep imagining 4 empty seats in the theater yesterday
Tldr; if you ever get tickets in the mail for an event, open up the envelope and make sure they’re for the correct date and time.
And I know this is totally first world problems and there are way worse things being talked about in here but $650 man, that’s hard to swallow.
I'm a huge Hamilton fan but haven't had a chance to see it yet, I'd be so devastated if that happened to me! I would file a complaint with whoever sold you the tickets if possible, it might not accomplish anything if there's no proof of what date the tickets were supposed to be for, but even just leaving them a bad review might be worth it.
I’d call again and ask to speak to someone else. You should be able to have all the images. They are part of YOUR medical record. Which you have full access to and are allowed to ask for a complete copy.Had my 20 week anatomy ultrasound today and everything is looking good (yay). The rant is for human medicine.
As a bit of a nerd and someone who really loved ultrasound in vet school it was highly entertaining to watch the scan (and holy high def). They had a sign up saying you could request your images emailed to you. So we did and had to fill out a consent form and then they inform us it's a $5 fee. On top of course of the $630 exam fee but whatever. Human medicine right?
So I finally get the email and I realized there are only 12 images (of the 60+they took). Not even like just the cute recognizable-to-normal-people ones but some random ones in there. And not even the one with the fun "it's a ___" text.
So I call them, thinking there was probably a glitch, and had to leave a voicemail. They called me back while I was on the bus. After explaining the situation the receptionist goes to talk to the tech. She comes back and explains to me that "the ones you were sent are the ones for you, the rest are for the doctor." I was confused and tried to explain that I wanted all the images and especially the gender reveal image but she just kept repeating herself.
Frustrated and not wanting to get into it on public transit I gave up but now I'm sitting here fuming.
The images are of me and my unborn child. I paid for them, all i want is a digital copy to nerd out over. Why do they get to decide what part of my medical information I don't get access to?!
And then I think of all the cds of rads from my animals that were given to me no additional charge no questions asked and people complain about vet med?!
I so wish I could have been there for her and said goodbye (I'm home in two days too), but he had no time left.
Oh no! I'm so sorry.
I hope eventually this will be a good thing and allow you to find a better fit, but in the meantime I know this sucks so much and you must be feeling really awful. Have my best internet hugs. I hope things get better soon.
Wasps are satan! I got stung for the first time in my life by the jerks living under our front porch a few weeks ago and I've been afraid to go through our front door ever since lol
Wear jeans and long sleeves so there's less skin to be a wasp target?
Just burn your yard down. It’ll kill the wasps and no more grass to mow!
Yech, backs are the worst.My back is very angry today angry
Yeah mine really does not like the ****ty lecture chairs. Or awkward bendy twisty movements during palpation when you’re trying to reach a horses leg around three other people. While also holding the horse because no one else will hold her. But you’re not about to miss out on one of your only times to palpate before you’re tested on it. Which was already cut short because the professor wouldn’t stop talking in lecture and went 15 minutes over. Not that I’m salty about any of that from today.
