Very similar, we can diagnose and manage patients in most cases and recognise when we’re out of our depth. We are dependent practitioners so work with a consultant. Currently we can’t prescribe but this is planned to change at some point. We don’t rotate like resident doctors do so provide more continuity for the nursing team and patients.
I’m a physician associate in the UK. I love helping people and making a difference. It’s great when my actions make someone’s life better, be that patient or colleagues. The team I work with are really good people. I love medicine: it’s problem solving, the interpersonal aspects, the continuous learning, the kindness and dedication of the people I work with.
I hate basically everything else. The PA role has had loads of bad press recently and there’s a legal case ongoing about the national review that was done so there’s huge amounts of uncertainty as to what the role will look like in future if it keeps existing at all.
So no idea if I’m going to get to keep doing what I love long term.
The NHS is basically on its knees after a generation of underfunding and poor management at the highest levels, what with the previous conservative basically trying to sell it off for profit so we don’t have enough resources to do things properly.
The system is set up to basically abuse its staff, the culture in the NHS is one of going above and beyond and putting yourself out to help others. Which is how the whole thing is still running to be honest, but that means that it’s really easy/ expected to stay late or to pick up too much work. If someone retires or leaves it’s even odds that they get replaced these days so there’s more work for less people.
The orphan of Kos in Bloodborne. Could never quite get it right, got so close several times but even with help that crazy bastard is just soo fast and difficult to predict. I tried for like a week, 30 or more goes. It really annoys me because Bloodborne is my favourite souls game.
Unfortunately that is often how drugs for the brain work, or don’t in your case. There is often a lot of trial and error to find something that works for you. They also take a good couple weeks to even start working properly which doesn’t help.
Yeah this is often advice given for any love changes (weight loss, stopping smoking etc) as getting support from others is usually really helpful plus it gives more accountability.
That sounds like anhedonia which is a major symptom of depression. You should consider seeking help.
Regular sleep, exercise and reaching out to others who care about you can all help outside of professionals though.
This is the shitpost community.
Journaling helps me to quiet my mind and organise my thoughts. It lets me track my mood and trends over time. I do some gratitude journaling which helps me to be more positive. I also use it for like annual review things looking at bigger picture things.
On a larger scale yes very much so. It’s mushroom zombies which gives them some cool variants and interesting ways to have threat rather than just the shambling hoard.
On a small scale is about a journey made cross country in the apocalypse by two people and their relationship.
I’d recommend both the games, though the first is better, and the TV series as very enjoyable and worthwhile.
The Kurzgesagt video about this is really, definitely worth a watch.
My guess is detail and economy of scale. Airsoft guns commonly use the design of a really world gun either licensed or legally distanced so can be very close to reality in looks. Airsoft is also quite a popular hobby so many manufacturers are involved. You are also looking at an M4 variant which is the single most popular Airsoft gun in the world. There are literally hundreds of variants running from cheap manual springs to high pressure air tanks and costing thousands. Prop guns are more niche, they are detail orientated and don’t need to function the same way. Maybe they make a pop and eject a case from the side of the gun which is more complex to do mechanically than send a little plastic bb out the barrel. There are less people buying each type of prop gun though so it will cost comparably more per item even if it technically doesn’t do as much.
I think your comment is more well thought out than the article. Very nicely written.
I had so much fun with the first Kerbal game. One of my big achievements in gaming is an orbital docking. Nothing like doing actual rocket science to make you feel good. I hope NASA doesn’t get a rocket into orbit and realise they forgot their solar panels, battery or parachutes. Thank god for save files.
Depends on the crowd you’re out with but it is nice to see the younger generations drinking less. Got to be healthier for them.
Technical definition Drug- a substance which has an effect on the body. Ie literally everything you ingest.
Common parlance - a thing you take which has a medical or recreational effect. Ie paracetamol or weed.
Smoking (a drug) and alcohol (a drug) are common enough that they don’t count as drugs to most people so medics will usually ask smoking alcohol and drugs as 3 separate questions to cover all bases.
Socially acceptable drugs that are very common (tobacco and alcohol) Vs illicit drugs is usually the distinction being made, at least in the UK.
Does it get better? I watched the first 1 or two episodes but stopped because the first real decision the young black female hero makes for herself is to join up with a gang of criminals which felt really problematic to me.
A solid decade before Minecraft at least no idea where it came from.
I’ve only hallucinated when I was young and really feverish and sick. I was scared of “lava buckets coming up the stairs” according to my dad.
I work with people with delirium who commonly hallucinate, it’s often things like people or animals. Common things are small children and dogs for the nicest ones and spiders or aggressive people for the less nice ones. They also don’t realise they are hallucinating a lot of the time. Being unwell is hard.
Yeah the race towards fascism is terrifying.
