10 years ago today I had my tubes tied. It was the best thing I ever did for myself. It took years standing up to practitioners, reiterating my preference, and fighting for medical decisions over my own body. Ten years later and it was all worth it. No hormones, no condoms, no risk of making the hard decisions some I know have had to make. For anyone contemplating it, for anyone fighting with their docs, don’t give up if it’s what you really want.

Is there any medical fitness certificate needed before joining Capgemini or any such recent rules?

Phlebotomists and Lab Assistants: are hospitals, medical clinics, or private practices the most rewarding to work in?

Anyone used Botox to treat TMJ/teeth-grinding? My dentist said i should get a mouth guard and potentially do some physical therapy. I seem to be doing a lot of clenching/teeth grinding in the night. I was googling other options and came across a suggestion for Botox. I already get Botox in my forehead for cosmetic purposes so I'm not worried about Botox generally, but unsure how common it is in the jaw for this medical purpose.

First time mom, gave birth three days ago to a baby boy. He had really low blood sugar on his second day and was almost comatose so he had to be taken to NICU to be monitored and tested every time he feeds. I’m worried sick that it might be something serious because he doesn’t fit any of the risk factors for having this issue and I’ve been crying on and off for the last two days. Has anyone else experienced this? I just want him to be healthy...

My Shareholder came into my office yesterday and proceeded to tell me that "we" were getting sloppy & "we" needed to get our billable up and that she had missed things. She made a point to say hers were low & she never gave me info regarding billable time. Our biggest client cuts half our time.
During the interview they never mentioned there were billable req.
1 month ago she was singing my praises. Had been real sick last 2 months and went to HR re med accommodation and now this.

How much medical insurance is provided by Tech Mahindra?

My confession is that I have seen the medical field change so much over the past 20 years, that it's unrecognizable in both good and bad ways. More people are leaving than staying, and I am worried the quality of care is dwindling. I try not to burden friends and family with some of the things I've seen recently, but the short version is that I'm no longer sure I have faith or trust in it myself.

I work at a medical device manufacturing plant as a training coordinator, I have a military background and a degree and am trying to advance but am feeling stuck. I am a literal jack of all trades, and am trying to get out of the hourly life, I’m working an average of 100 hour weeks and have been for at least the last 6 months.

My cat is really sick and in the hospital. So many people love and care about him - my sister wants to make a gofundme. Is that appropriate? I’ve had mixed reviews but I could definitely use the help. He’s touched so many people

Hi Hexaware,
This question is for my brother.
He joined h3xaware as fresher this year and has unknowingly declared medical insurance for parent. As I am already having another medical coverage for them. Is there a way to opt out of the insurance from portal.
It caused a deduction of 2k from his salary and is not required.

Any information on this or process will be really appreciated

I’m sooo sick of Marriott from the Bonvoy situation. Anybody have luck transferring to Hilton or Hyatt, getting status match?

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?

Is maxing out your HSA worth it? I’d rather keep the cash than have it be stuck for use only on medical expenses. I’m entering my late 20s so not sure it’s worth contributing. Are the tax benefits worth it?

Trying to start good saving habits in my 20s and looking for advice! Currently splitting savings (aside from retirement savings) into index funds in a brokerage account and a “high yield” savings account. Hoping to save for a down payment for a condo/house in the next few years - what’s the best approach? Do people usually save funds for down payment in regular savings accounts? Thanks in advance!

Honestly just need some likes to dm. Hopefully you guys can help 🙂

Hi All! I am an EHR Specialist for a dermatologist and plastics practice of 13 offices. Currently I provide EHR support for roughly 200 plus clinical employees (providers, a laboratory and supporting clinical staff) alone. I also manage the iPads given to all clinical staff (hardware troubleshooting repair, purchase &EHR software). I also train new hires. I currently make 68,000 annually. Does this salary seem comparable to the workload and expectations or should I attempt negotiating? Thanks!

Has data analytics made psychology and neuroscience completely obsolete or do marketers still rely on human psychology ?

Funny experience - I was in the line at a craft store and started chatting with the people around me. Person in front of me was annoyed about having to craft valentines for her kid's class. Person behind me was getting a late start on his kid's science project. They asked me what I was in for.

Me: oh I don't have kids, so I'm picking up a new hobby (watercoloring).

Them: oh. You must have a lot of free time and money huh.

Me: yeah it's pretty great 😃👍

Do you feel like nowadays more men than women want kids? Considering they suffer less negative effects physically, socially, and career-wise.

My friend comes over with his daughter (6) who frequently runs and does cartwheels in my home. I told my friend I don’t like it and his response was that’s she’s bored and I need to be more patient with kids. Since when did asking parents to have their kids respect your space a problem?

Last night when my wife got home from work, I reminded her to say hello to the dog and she said “I’m so glad we don’t have kids” haha

Wow! I’m so happy this bowl exists. So happy to have found my kind of people.

How are you all dealing with parents and other relatives getting on your case and giving you sh**t over not wanting to have kids?

BISALP IS TOMORROW!!! 🤗

Any recommendations for things to have on hand the day of?? I got my heating pad, stool softeners, lozenges, and gas-x…

Think you all may emphasize better since you're not blinded by the "miracle of life". Is anyone else disturbed by the commercial surrogacy industry? It's crazy that the sale of humans beings and reproductive capabilities is legal in some states. Most developed and even developing countries ban this practice

Follow up question for those who answered childless employees work MORE than childful (roll with it, people) employees:

Do you think childless employees have more work life balance than employees with kids?

Friend doesn’t follow politics because she is raising a toddler and a working lawyer; I don’t have kids, in part, because of politics. I envy her obliviousness, but am also a little stunned.

In my late 20s and considering tubal ligation, especially with all this abortion stuff going on. Am I too young? I feel confident that I don’t want kids and it’s not something I want want to get persuaded into doing if I meet someone, but I guess I’m afraid of the permanence?

How do you react when people make comments like "you can tell your grandkids about that one day."

Would love to have some funny/witty comebacks in my back pocket.

I just found this tax info out which only hurts unmarried individuals and benefits married. I wanted to sell my home due to equity in it at todays listing prices and apparently if a single individual, any home that sells more than 200k over your original purchase price you have to pay a huge capital gains tax… now,if your married they give you a 400k differential and anything over that you pay capital gains. Ex. Unclear of why this tax law hasn’t been updated? Wow! It’s an extremely biased

Anyone in Jacksonville, Florida

Anyone else hate Mother’s Day? I feel like I have to explain why I don’t have kids and I absolutely love my family, but they always include me in Mother’s Day celebrations... they give me cards and gifts celebrating me as an “auntie” or a “cat mom” feels like a consolation prize or something.

So not having kids and focusing on career, personal growth and enjoying life but I just started to think who will I leave all my money/assets to when I die?! Anyone thought about this? 👀

How many kid photos of a good friend do I have to "like" on social media?
