PA-C Life

I did not survive four lokos just to die from coronavirus

I'm not an early bird or a night owl, I'm some sort of permanently exhausted pigeon

My patient told me “you do a really great job wrapping that ace” and I think I’ve peaked in my career

@CaffeinatedPa Literally the best wine too. And tastings are so cheap compared to CA

Did y’all know Colorado has its own wine country?! This state truly has it all

Using Facebook marketplace to sell stuff for the first time and wow that place is a gem

Still irate about a PANRE question that was literally me in college and the first diagnosis was anxiety….just like every doctor told me for years. Turned out I had POTS

@AnonRadDoc All the ER docs are getting the certificate here, basically for me so I can do complex reductions in the ER, and it takes a whopping 2 hours. Going to a testing center again may actually kill me 😅😂

@PA_C_Life Which is hilarious considering the people who went to medical school want nothing to do with fluoroscopy machine.

Sooo I decided to do the 40 hour fluoroscopy course so I am legally allowed to operate a mini C-arm in the state of CO and this is the first time in my whole career that I wish I went to med school

@MrsPA_C This is all just so awful. I’m so sorry 💜

@RichDeBrino They’re great! Been using this one for about 3 years and it’s never failed. I just miss my old sliding windows

After three hours of trying to install this in a casement window with minimal tools/supplies, I finally said fuck it

@sailordeac Most of the convo I am telling my friend to quit for these reasons 😂 They are in desperate need of locums and a small part of me keeps thinking maybe I should do it

@PA_C_Life I feel the same way. I miss trauma a lot, but I didn’t realize what a massive toll it was taking on me stress and anxiety wise.

Talking to old coworkers is a great reminder that although I might think that I miss big ortho traumas and shift work, that I do not indeed miss big ortho traumas and shift work

WHAT A SEQUENCE. WHAT A SHOT. THAT'S JUST JAMAL MURRAY.

Do yall realize we were tweeting FROM FLIP PHONES!? I been on Twitter since Aug 2008. I remember texting my tweets to 40404. some of y’all simply WERE NOT OUT HERE

Well last night was unexpected

Ah so bedtime procrastination it is tonight

@DiabloTorro Definitely not just you and thank you

@PA_C_Life And I’m so sorry for your loss

It is seriously so fucked up how well I am able to repress emotions after working in medicine

@NurseKem Thanks

@PA_C_Life So sorry for your loss :(

@sailordeac Thank you. It really makes me love my career even more 🙃

@PA_C_Life I absolutely feel you on this and sending my empathy 🖤 really have struggled to feel my grief because of how well medicine has harmfully conditioned me
