Yeah, I feel like I had a “good” internship in that we didn’t have to come in on days off and we actually got two days off a week, but we still worked 70-100 hour weeks. It was like five solid days where all we did was work then go home to fall into bed, one day off to catch up on sleep and chores, and one day off to maybe do something fun or have a life. I wouldn’t call it good work life balance at all even though it was better than most.
Not a failure on your part at all. Quite amazing that you went this long without getting it really. Hope you feel better quickly, friendo ❤️
Hi pls ask your doctor if they think Paxlovid would be okay for you to have/a good idea. Sending all my hugs 💜💜💜💜 I got it in June from my dad stopping caring and being careful and I have asthma so was also being very careful 😕
I did as soon as I got the test result, waiting to hear back.
Mint gum. Lots and lots of mint gum.
I used cherry cough drops. The metallic paxlovid taste mixed with my mint toothpaste made me barf
it was not fun
OH NO
Oh no! Is it vomiting? Because that happened to me the first 3 days and then got better.
Nope, although I did that once yesterday from coughing too hard. This is generalized pruritus that started after my first dose, and then progressed to urticaria after my second dose, womp
It all depends on the school. Some schools allow for grade replacement and those D's and F's disappear. But other schools average the grades. You'd need to contact each of the schools she has applied to know what their policy is.
Thank you so much for taking the time to apply, and I absolutely agree about avoiding the Ds and Fs. I will advise her to go back to each of the schools she applied to, to see how they calculate the retakes. (To get a true list of where she has a chance)
GPA is important but also for some schools showing that you are able to handle difficult material/that class by retaking a class and going from a D/F/C to an A is helpful as well.
Very good point!
i think the cases where you don't get answers are the hardest to process. sometimes outcomes are just sucky and there's nothing you can do about that.
I had a similar case last week. Presented to our overnight doctor for "randomly screaming outside" but owner didn't actually see anything and was clinically normal by the time she presented to the clinic. Maybe a bit of back pain? but hard because she was also crawling with fleas, alopecia/excoriated skin (intact, lots of long term management stuff...) but nothing immediately life threatening visible. Declined doing any workup.
Would y'all be able to join the FIP warriors group? It would be a significant cost financially, but thought I would throw the thought out there.
I did join! I already got a cost estimate and it's honestly really doable. My worry is the legality.. Is there any way this could affect me getting my DVM or harm the vets involved?
For what it’s worth, I specifically asked our professor about the legality of owners /possessing/ the GS drug in our lecture about FIP. As veterinarians, we cannot legally tell our clients to go get the drug and advise them in its use as it’s not an FDA approved medication. However, we were told that there are no legal risks to the owners in obtaining/possessing/using the drug on their own animals. It’s not an illicit controlled drug that’s banned in the US, it’s just not FDA approved.I did join! I already got a cost estimate and it's honestly really doable. My worry is the legality..

I was told by the org that they cannot be associated with it and that I have to adopt him /find him another adopter if we want to treat it. And that I could surrender him back once the treatment is over. I was also told that it would be very hard to adopt him out after this too so I think the best route would be to find him a permanent caretaker also willing to treat it. I would adopt him if my SO was okay with it
This. I understand the FDA approval process exists for a reason, but coming from a shelter background, how on earth could we turn a blind eye to something that is overwhelmingly indicated to be helpful?
I'd say you should either adopt (or find an adopter) and go through FIP warriors or continue fostering and following the org's recommendations. If you start treatment as a foster, you're inevitably going to have to face the organization at some point when you go "he's all better!" and they ask "okay, but how?"
The vet won’t get in trouble for just knowing that you’re treating the cat. Vets can and should direct clients to the FIP warriors page when FIP is diagnosed, and support owners with concerns while they treat FIP. It’s not taboo to acknowledge that it exists, that people use it, and that it’s the only known treatment for an otherwise 100% fatal disease. We just can’t prescribe GS or give guidance on how to use it exactly (dose, frequency, etc).
I'll get lots of work done at least....
I feel that way without having any class cancellations so I can't imagine what you're going through. Hang in there
Thank you! You too! I saw your previous comment about histology. We just got finished with that class, it’s a lot of memorization. Not sure how y’all’s is set up but what helped me was anking all the terms and lab images!
HELLO I AM BACK WITH AN UPDATE
Sometimes you just gotta negotiate your way out of a medical condition
congratulations on the Reeses
