Me in 3 homes today of geriatric patients who think 70 degrees inside their homes is cold so it's sitting at a toasty 78-80

Me walking out of an assisted living facility after getting hyped up by all the geriatric ladies with dementia

@emily_j_martin Also you after not listening cause your legs are so sore lol

@emily_j_martin Me trying to tell you it's "progressive overload" not just "overload as much as you can" 😂😂😂

A picture of me summoning all my vocal cord strength trying to talk at roughly 150 decibals so my geriatric patients can hear me over the phone when scheduling visits

Also its crazy to me how many huge companies have spent money on advertising "we hire heroes"/"our Healthcare workers are heroes" or whatever variation you see on massive and numerous billboards instead of just spending that money to pay their "heroes" more lol

Being in Healthcare for just 3 years it's sad to see how insurance companies have continued to screw everyone (both people using their insurance and companies that bill through them). If continues this way every year seems like we are just SoL in 20-25 years

The farmer pain scale

In home health I have had some things offered to me such as: homemade dessert, bbq, sweet tea but last weekend I had someone offer me a cigarette after I completed the visit 😂😂

Picture of me in a couple months going to see my home health patients on a 70mpg moped with gas prices rising and mileage reimbursement staying the same #vroomvroom

Hard to believe this extremely goofy, lovable, and fluffy dog turns 2 today! So much bigger than the barely 6 lb fluff ball when we brought her home #puppy#miniaussie#minuatureaustralianshepherd instagram.com/p/CasVzH-uQzl/…

Happy 2's day to everyone #punny

@Mariah_Rose14 I'm sure you will and wish you best of luck in that endeavor! Also little extra time to relax while pregnant!

@BMar95 On the positive side, I got to be off for the holiday season so if I can find a job soon, I’ll say it worked out for the best🙂

I think we can agree one thing this pandemic has shown is how some Healthcare companies treat their employees poorly and its extremely sad

@Mariah_Rose14 Oh goodness sorry to hear that ☹️

@BMar95 I went from “essential” and “hero” to fired real quick because I didn’t feel that taking the vaccine while pregnant was safe for my unborn child

All healthcare workers/clinicians to their family members during holiday season trying to enjoy being off the clock

I am having to watch breath sound and auscultation training videos for work and I am just having flashbacks to long cardiopulmonary labs in pt school 😅

One of the few bad things about not being in outpatient anymore is not getting to dress up the week of Halloween
