What can I expect as a husband of someone going through IVF?

Moved from Canada and I have to say, big pharma in the US might very well be the devil himself. In Canada, medications that cost $30-$40, are hundreds of dollars here. Honestly thinking of leaving the field because I can't stomach the corruption.

My birth control pill dropped on the floor

I still ate it.

Anyone here ever taken Focus Factor? I’m on Strattera but am considering a switch because the regular appointments and cost of medication really adds up. Am curious to know if anyone feels like Focus Factor helped.

My girlfriend has a peloton fitness membership. I’m thinking about getting a bike. Do I need a subscription or can I use hers for the bike?

Hope everyone’s enjoying the holiday weekend 🥰 I went out last night in DC - has been years since I went to bars here. I def felt like I was the oldest guy out and about - really young crowd - but still felt confident. I have limited my Instagram by peoples recommendation on here, and it’s giving me my life back. I did not feel as nervous and self conscious. Anyway - ✌🏻🌹 If you struggle with body image issues like me then getting off IG works wonders.

I will be joining Bosch on Dec 12. And I heard there will be year end vacation in December. Will that vacation be provided for new joiners also?

How long till this virus situation is under control?

I badly need a holiday, but team is quite understaffed and loaded with work. Not sure how to escape this

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who shares in this group. It truly helps me stay sober. I am approaching 12 months sober but have been struggling lately. While I have not relapsed, I’ve been close. Normally, before I get out of bed, I write down my reason to stat sober for the day, but lately the reasons have been lousy at best. But reading about everyone’s struggles and successes has helped get me through this past month. So thank you all for the inspiration to keep going strong!

Any trainer recommendations who can train at my building’s gym? I have a pretty sophisticated gym in my building so would love to use this facility.

Anybody in New York figured out the best options for health care after losing a job? Is the exchange possible or is COBRA your best bet?

HELP! I feel like I can’t even blink without my COVID patients dying.

I saw a great thread online about a Black physician who saved the day when a patient came in for an urgent MRI, but had metal pins in her wig so none of the white nurses or doctors could get it off. Black Physician rushed in with some alcohol and got it off in no time. We are crucial to the healthcare field for so many reasons, remember that!

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.

This question might anger some, but not meant to be provoking. Does anyone else feel that half the jobs in tech (scrum master, project manager, product manager, etc.) are more hindering than helpful? I feel like productivity would sky rocket if we didn’t have 10+ hours a week added of admin work/agile ceremonies/status meetings, and you just let developers and analysts do their job. Why are we spending hours learning how to estimate story points (for example) rather than improving production?

I am a 17 year seasoned outpatient PT in Tampa FL who is the current head PT for my clinic. I do marketing, admin duties as well as staffing. I haven’t gotten a base hourly salary raise in 8 years! (I do get a percentage of profits but due to Covid, haven’t gotten one in 2 yrs). I do not get 401k, con Ed or health insurance benefits.
Current salary is $85K. I am getting very frustrated that this has not increased even after asking. Thoughts? What to do? What do other seasoned FL PTs make?

Is my agency allowed to ask to see an offer letter from another place I’ve gotten an offer at in their countering process?
