my clinical skills so far in order of how comfortable I feel doing them from most to least:
handling urine for pregnancy testing, urinalysis, and/or for sample/culture collection
finger sticks for hemoglobin readings
new patient intakes
drawing up injections (have not given any yet tho)
established patient intakes
blood draws
abortion intakes
blood pressure ❌️❌️❌️❌️❌️❌️❌️❌️❌️
#fuck a manual sphygmomanometer what is this the 1800's#like thankfully my readings are always within a few numbers of what my trainer ends up reading but still its so much to focus on at once#crazy that im more comfortable and confident working with blood and needles and pee than with taking blood pressure

yknow I kinda always thought cholesterol was some shit only adults had to be worrying about but life comes at you fast
#what do you mean im adults!!!#its not too bad tho my 'unhealthy cholesterol' is only very slightly elevated#im about to start some structured weight loss anyway so that will definitely help it improve

truly is fascinating to me the way now that my mental health is. well, its managed for sure, I can now put energy and effort into addressing my physical health, and that I *think* its working too. ill go into deetos in the tags bc its regarding weight and managing that
#basically: i am seeing a whole set of weight specialists and i am pursuing surgery#but you dont get to just walk in to the first appt and say 'hey please remove 75-85% of my stomach please' and they go 'bet lets do it rn'#its a ~6 month process of meetings with nurses and a surgeon and a psychiatrist and a dietician and labs and peer groups#so far a lot of it has been slowly modifying *how* i eat which in turn is reducing how *much* i eat#mindful eating is a magical tool#ive also started topamax to help jumpstart some of the weight loss which makes carbonated drinks taste flat and gross#i wasnt drinking much soda anyway but it did get me off sparkling water for sure#anyway. i know the stricter diet changes are gonna be a bit harder but im easing myself into those

getting older and developing coping skills that allow you to not just manage anxiety but confront the things that cause your anxiety head-on is bittersweet, because its like. it is absolutely genuinely SO hard to do it for the first time, and maybe even for the next few times after that. But then it becomes easier, and it feels incredible to look at this thing your brain was once viewing as this insurmountable threat thats now not even a big deal, but its also frustrating at the same time because its like why couldn't my brain rationalize like this when I was 14 and too anxious to go to school regularly
#ultimately nothing will be achieved if i hold on to frustration towards myself from 10 years ago#but its still hard not to think of what couldve been if i was able to stick with regular school#but today my big anxiety was talking to my roommate and like. we're fine we're genuinely both fine#we both apologized to each other and we're going to talk in person on saturday but its gonna be on good terms for both of us#huge relief because this means im staying in maine

I am still being a hypochondriac about the whole covid-positive patient thing from yesterday. rationally I know I more than likely wouldnt be having symptoms less than 48 hours after, and the patient was wearing a mask and there was a bit of distance between them and me so that would also decrease the likelihood, but if there's one thing im a bit obsessive about its diseases
#the fact that i cannot afford to miss work if i do end up having covid is not helping thats for sure#and also i cant go visit my family next weekend either if i do especially since my grandpa isnt doing great#and yeah ik the guidelines technically say you can go to work if youre positive as long as you mask but#as a medical assistant i dont think that would be a good idea in this field#its fine itll all be ok im probably just having allergies

where am i
#a dozen eggs for one united states dollar??? in this economy?????#fun fact: this sale was specifically for half-dozen cartons of store-brand brown eggs#if i had bought a regular dozen carton of store-brand brown eggs it wouldve cost $6.99#thats almost 60 cents/egg where i only paid about 8 cents/egg#no idea why they were discounted either!! theyre not close to expiration or broken or anything

WHY ARE YOU ENTERING A MEDICAL OFFICE KNOWING DAMN WELL YOU HAVE COVID IN 2025!!!!! GET OUT!!!!!
#yeah whatever restrictions have relaxed but WE ARE STILL A MEDICAL OFFICE!!! and their appointment was not emergent#so basically i took a bunch of masks from work because i am lowkey getting really paranoid about getting covid again and spreading it#i did not check them in. i would not have let them check in. i would have had them reschedule because thats what we're supposed to do

had to go into the basement of my apartment building today and I never want to go in the basement of my apartment building ever again
#so scary!!!! and why were people in the 1800's building basements for people that are 5 feet tall#and it didnt even solve my problem!! i was looking for the fuse box bc i had no power but they were all on

what does it mean if I dont like the outcomes when I stand up for myself or make my feelings known and genuinely prefer keeping that shit to myself and placating others at my own internal expense
#like i am already very careful when i have to express the way i feel about most things#but whenever i tell someone what they did genuinely hurt me it ALWAYS gets flipped onto me#i dont think ive gotten an acknowledgement or apology on that front in my life and theres just no way im always in the wrong#im really not a mean person and i really dont understand why it always turns out this way

I think i hauve covid. again
#got it around the same time last year too#if thats even what i have. it might just be the air quality being shit in the northeast rn#i cant afford a test rn LMAO so precautionary masking it is#my lungs and throat are a bit weird rn and my sense of taste is a bit off#but again air quality is absolute ass up here right now so i think its more likely that

north conway was nice, would've been nicer if it wasnt 85° and humid with "unhealthy" air quality
what do you mean I dont even have to get on a highway if I want to go to north conway and a 1.5 hr drive on a bunch of scenic backroads through the white mountains region is the fastest route to get there. where am I
#i feel kinda like shit now and i think the air up there has something to do with it#looking forward to going back in a few months when its cool and the leaves are changing
