I do not, I guess because my parents never had it for our family dogs. But my Aussie boy literally five minutes ago jumped onto the treadmill while I was running... poor thing doesn’t even know what happened to him 😂 He’s fine, thankfully, but my first thought was that I should look into pet insurance moving forward!

I have it, and it’s been a life-saver. Have saved $100s in reimbursements since I started buying it

I do have it - it’s not a savings account because you don’t get the money back. But it is very good to have in case of bad surprises. So far I’ve gotten a few hundred back from when puppy teeth would not fall out and got pulled, and from kennel cough antibiotics

@ OP my first dog was diagnosed with a terminal condition (kidney failure) the day after her insurance kicked in. It was her only hope of living... they probably covered $10k in treatments over 3 years before she passed away.

My boy is a dingdong and had two emergency surgeries for swallowing foreign objects. (He thinks the world is his buffet) he also required back surgery at 3 (he’s a Frenchie). They’ve covered about $15k for him

I highly recommend our insurance, PetPlan. And buy it as soon as you can - no plans cover preexisting conditions!

I think at worst it’s a savings account where you regularly put away funds to care for your fur baby, just like dental or vision insurance. And at best it may help to cover catastrophic health needs. I haven’t looked closely at specific policies though.

@ACD1 that is amazing, what issues did your dogs have?

So I’m thinking of taking a pharmacy tech course at my local community college. I already work in healthcare on the admin side (authorizations, front desk etc) & looking to get a certification that’s quick & don’t have to go back to school. How is it being a tech in the hospital setting? What other paths are there for techs? How much can you make? Or are there any other short certifications that would make more money?

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.

Hey all,

My baby is measuring very big but doesn't seem to be coming on her own, so doctor wants to induce around my due date (I'm 39 weeks pregnant now).

Any risk factors I should take into consideration? Things I should make sure to bring up with my doctor ahead of time? This is my first baby.

I tried resigning and my company really doesn’t want to take no for an answer and is trying to offer to have me move to another team or make some sort of counter. However, I know I won’t accept the counter bc the culture has been so bad for my mental health and have already accepted another offer. Struggling how to be firm on the no with this! Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!

Hello HR folks. Overheard a conversation at work and am curious what is the norm.
If an employee goes out on FMLA, obviously the benefits person sends them the STD, FMLA paperwork etc. But is it the maagers responsibility to maintain communication with the person out on leave and to get a timeline on their return or would that be the benefits team? Or maybe the HRBP?
