Our service is short medics (like basically every service) yet Australia has so many graduates, they don’t have enough spots for field internships. Our leadership, deciding that we could mutually benefit each other, had contracted a contingent of Ozzie baby medics to come learn and work for a couple of years with a work visa. I cannot wait to see these folks interact with the American healthcare system. Or deal with some of the fattest, sickest patients in the deepest depths of the confluence of the diabetes, hypertension and heart failure belts. They’re going to get a big dose of clinical experience and the culture shock is going to be hilarious.

Speaking of the American health care system, I have my psychiatrist appointment tomorrow morning and work is blowing up. I really don't want to try and reschedule since this was the soonest in-person appointment I could get when I finally got through the stupid telehealth intake appointment back in early January. It's kind of frustraiting that Kaiser pushes so hard for teletherapy because every time something like this pops up I end up going through like 3 layers and constant "no, teletherapy is not an option for me for a huge variety of reasons" hoopla. So good luck to my big boss who might have to cover for me for a bit in the morning.

It's less that I feel bad and more that it's making me stress out bit because it's going to be a shitshow. I'll talk it out in the morning with my direct supervisor just to have a plan and that will help. My unit is very supportive of taking your time off for whatever reason yoj want and will cover, so I've got that going. On the plus side my kitty sweater will be here this week and I'm looking forward to making my cat wear it while his fur grows back.

Pron on VHS posted:Blood work shows a A1C of 5.8, my newfound habit of eating a share size Snickers bar EVERY NIGHT for the last 2 months has yielded consequences…… Looking through my MyChart, my A1C was 9.2 in December, when I was diagnosed from being pre-diabetic to actually diabetic. I had some blood work done a week or two ago, and my A1C came in at 4.8. Amazing what counting carbs can do for someone. Hang in there, you can do this.

You aren't looking at medications or insulin or anything like that any time soon.

You can probably still chomp said Snickers bar, just cut some carbs elsewhere. Do you exercise at all? The good news is that you really only need to make some minor adjustments now. The bad news is if you don't, then it's gonna get serious and be real hard a few years from now and likely involve meds.

My work does a wellness check every year and my glucose was a tad high, I think 101 (they don't do A1C), and my bilirubin was at 1.5 mg.dl. Not sure if I should really be concerned on the bilirubin, I have a doctor's appointment scheduled for later in the year. All my other levels were perfectly fine, so I'm not really worried right now.

FizFashizzle posted:did you have cream in your coffee that morning? I always find it funny when folks panic over glucose 100-120 when most of my patients live >250mg/dl. I’d venture most Americans have some degree of insuin resistance but I don’t even raise an eyebrow unless it’s over 200 in a non diabetic (and over 350 in a diabetic) or if it’s under 60 in anyone.

Leperflesh posted:I believe there's a device that prevents gas from flowing if the thermocouple or thermostat isn't working. That device or the thermocouple or thermostat can break. The failsafe mode is to shut off the gas. It isn't usually necessary to outright replace an entire water heater when it won't light. You can hire a plumber or you can try troubleshooting it yourself, if you have a multimeter. Managed to tinker around with it and got it working again, hopefully it is not a reoccurring issue.

My glucose was 100 last time I got tested which they said was pre-diabetes, but my A1C was 4.9%, which based on their written blurb averages out to a glucose level of 94. I could imagine some level of anxiety spiking glucose a bit?
