Time taken for getting smell back after covid?

Hi fellow Aussie consultants. Today’s R U OK day, and whilst I believe one should ask this question on any day, it’s a good reminder for us.

Given recent tragic events at EY and the pressures we face with daily, please make sure to speak to your loved ones if required. Mental health is real. I’m happy to lend an ear too.

Aim of this bowl is for us to help each other as best as we can, more so than anything else. I hope everyone is doing ok, happy Friday Jr!

Stay awesome, people 😊

Report is out. Medical Care Practitioner was the top suggestion followed by Physician Associate. Praxician was, expectedly, widely panned. Let the debates begin....

Bruising after progesterone shots???
How long do these last? I’m 20 weeks pregnant and can still see light bruising from these shots. Is that normal?

Has anyone tried PRP treatment for hair loss?
I don't have male pattern baldness, but patchy hair loss and doctors are saying two session of prp would be enough.

Is it good? Whether it restored your hairs?

I have a good skincare regime. I used to suffer from severe acne few years ago but I had it under control until lately I noticed I have been breaking out bad especially near my chin and side of my face. I work out atleast 5 days a week but I shower (body) after workout and I also use BHA, retin A, vit C & moisturizer almost daily. I suspect it’s because I don’t wash my hair daily every time I workout. I don’t want to wash my hair daily but seems like I will have to do it. Any recommendations?

Ideas for not going stir-crazy while stuck at home, especially with family/roommates?

We’re doing our first transfer after over a year long wait since retrieval. We’re both extremely anxious and nervous at the same time. We have 3 healthy embryos banked - AA girl, BB boy and BB girl. We’re just keen on a healthy child although given a choice we would like to start with a boy. How do you determine which is the best quality embryo ?

Is TRT worth the life commitment?

Hi everyone. Wanted to get your thoughts on this situation. I was in an extremely toxic relationship with a narcissist for over 10 years. The trauma and abuse resulted in responsive abuse meaning I would turn into a person I was not proud of. I could “justify” some of my actions because I was in survival mode at the time. All of this trauma resulted in extreme depression and anxiety especially in regards to romantic relationships (I now know I have an anxious attachment style). Continued below..

Has anyone tried any personal nutritionist or gut health nutritionist to help not just lose weight but to help figure out food triggers for bloating etc?
Any recommendations?

Body moisturizer/lotion recommendations? I want to move on from Bath and body because they are toxic and Bum Bum cream is too expensive. Want something for daily use that smells great all day and reasonably priced.

I'd love to learn more about how developing countries are being supported in COVID. Do people know of ways that US doctors can help?

Nothing like a good dose of anxiety just because your afraid you will less something up soon. Happy Friday!

Anyone living in Niche905? Share your thoughts please whether you like it and with COVID whether amenities are open.

Traveling to Big Island from Maui...are 15-min PCR Covid tests valid for interisland travel? Any recs on where to get tested in Maui? Everything I’ve seen is the NAAT test which will take 1-3 days.

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.

You know what F all those people who say “Why are we wearing masks at work? This sucks!” I am happy we have to, that way I don’t have to smell your disgusting breath in morning or after your lunch. If you have good oral hygiene and don’t want to wear a mask I am cool with you guys/gals. If not, put on a mask to save a life. If your COVID won’t kill us, your bad breath definitely will.

One of the team member has applied leaves for continuous 3 days this month. Later she applied for a 15 days leave saying a medical emergency. Both the leaves were rejected from her manager saying connect with HR. though she is on leave without PM leave approval and this is not even prior notice to the team.
Now'what and all would be the consequences she might face. Is there any chance of these things are being escalated? Please advise!

Asking for an opinion: i dont skimp on shoes or suits, i buy most of my shirts from jos a bank, and my belts and pocket squares from tj maxx. My cufflinks come from amazon... in terms of shirts and belts, i know there are some really nice brands out there, but do you think there is a huge difference at this point?

I’ll be taking a look at all the recent SPACs that had huge runs. The plan is to watch for momentum to start fading and play some puts at or around merger votes. A lot of these plays are priced to perfection on revenues 5+ years away. Will some make it big? Yes. Will some fail, yes. Also starting to watch the warrant exercise requirements. All of these have huge supply coming to market and I plan to be on the other side of the retail suckers
