So that means I technically cannot claim reimbursement from my insurance for my January therapy expenses, right?

Any 🐠 get Invisalign in Boston - recommendations on where? How was the experience during your treatment? Was between Smilebar or Align Dental.

Just had a consult at Smilebar. Ortho was ridiculously rude, spoke really fast, dismissed my concerns. Laughed at a few of my questions, rolled eyes at one. Everything was pressure to get me to commit ~$5.8k on the spot during a *15 minute consult*.

After finally getting approval for my ivf cycle and being on birth control for 2 months -my ivf cycle was delayed for a dominant follicle and they want to reevaluate several weeks later.

Having twins! 10 weeks pregnant. Meeting with genetic counselor tomorrow to discuss testing options. I’m honestly leaning towards CVS… I want to know as much info as possible at highest accuracy.

Has anyone left their healthcare job for a different career, I'm not sure if this is the right industry for me

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.

I need to vent because I’m so annoyed with myself. I have been on a journey to become an employee of Amazon Care. I have been connecting with recruiters, sending out messages and literally trying to manifest this through meditation, action and hope.

I spent 20 minutes rearranging and editing the message and STILL FORGOT TO CHECK THE NAME!
