I recently started using a cane everyday and so my previously invisible disability is suddenly visible. I also started medschool. It's been a while since I was properly social so I have questions...

People don't walk next to me. And if they accidentally do, they leave to walk next to someone else even if that means squeezing in three people on the sidewalk. No one talks to me if it's not to ask me "what's wrong". I have really tried to make an effort and talk to people but I don't know what to do.

Can it have something to do with my disability and my cane? Like they're scared to say the wrong thing? Or maybe it's because they've sensed the autism?;)

Fml 🙃

Trying to study without meds feels like trying to build a house without mortar. It can work on a day when the weather's really good but even then it can all fall apart so easily, let alone if there's wind and rain!

I've studied med free before and I'm sure I can do it again but whether I'll achieve all that im capable of is another thing entirely!

Time to stock up on good diet and exercise and other compensatory strategies, take cover and hope for the best! 😩

do you ever get the feeling that medical staff (except nurses) don’t know shit about anything??? like i have a problem instead of explaining to me what the root cause is or even listening to me they just do a basic examination (if they even do that cause the amount of times a medic didn’t even left their chair…) maybe ask a blood test and prescribe antibiotics

#— chatting break 💬#i fucking hate doctors #in my country around 70% of med students are from rich af families #they don’t put afford for shit #seriously i remember one #one fucking doctor that examined me explain what my problem was and what the cause must be #he directed me to another speciality and boom my problem was over #all i needed was a tiny surgery #another doctor in that same hospital told me something ridiculous and didn’t even left her chair

JOURNAL ENTRY — I'm of the idea that I'm forgetful. Terribly forgetful.

MAY 23, 2024

I've been contemplating a bit. Less of a contemplation and more of a realisation or a mix I cannot say and yet my memory is so short that I can't remember what I've even realised to begin with. I will eventually forget it all.

I wrote a lot in my journal. I wrote a lot here as well. So many contradictory things. Yet, it's as real as the sun and the rain.

So maybe I should summarise it for the sake of my brain to remember :

1) regret is way worse than the effort it takes to get something done.

2) stop looking at others, it gets you nowhere. The only thing is does it aggravate your insecurities and brings out the worst in you.

3) fight. Don't look at the war. Fight the small battles. It's the seconds that will make a difference.

4) do it alone. The worst thing you can do to yourself is wait for someone to come and save you. Wait to do it together with someone. Don't wait.

5) choose yourself before anyone else. If you don't know what you want— what others want will become your priority.

6) the future is not set in stone— which is both the best thing that can happen to you but can also be the worst thing that can happen to you.

7) what is bound to happen will happen. It will. So don't let things you can't control break you down. If you can't control it— ignore it. Focus on the love right under your nose.

8) it's okay if you fail. It's okay. Even after trying hard. Trying your best. Whatever your best is. It's okay if you fail. I'll be right here and so will you.

9) you can always start all over again. Your failure if it happens, if it does happen— it's not a finality. It's not the end. It's nothing.

10) hold on. you will be fine. You are a survivor. You've always found a way out and You've always survived. You will get through this too. If anyone can do it, it's going to be you to beat the odds. So figure it out— because you can. You can handle this.

11) if you can be only one thing to your own self— be kind. Forgive yourself.

So ask yourself these three questions—

1) what do you want?

2) what are you going to do now with this moment? What difference are you going to make?

3) are your fears greater than your strength?

I'm scared.

saw a post about projecting your ethnicity onto a character and started missing vespa ilkay. so so bad

#pov u grow up in a 3rd world country(/planet) where healthcare workers are exported by the thousands like cheap produce to richer countries #it's your ticket out of poverty as long as you can deal with the loneliness the separation from everyone you know the discrimination etc #ive never talked about my hc that vespas mother was one of them sending money every month visiting every couple of years until it just stop #like why return to the swamps when youre doing fine working on a richer planet w much better living conditions #cost of living rises every year. sending home a % of your salary used to be enough to support your husband and daughter and then it isnt #you know how it goes #vespa is also dead set on this path until ranga realizes that hemorrhaging healthcare workers leaves them with little to none of their own #students on scholarships or in community/state universities are bound by return service agreements and are forbidden to leave the country #until theyve rendered a few years of work on ranga to pay back their tuition + as a really shitty solution to the brain drain problem #this is real in my country btw but my professors say a lot of ppl do break their rsa's and fucked off to work in other countries LOL #our state unis can barely afford decent facilities they do nottt have the budget to chase down their own alumni in other countries!#but the mental image is a bit funny #vespa ilkays first crime: tinakasan ang rsa #i do also think it lines up with her having a network of med friends everywhere in the galaxy (heart of it all) you kind of go into pre/med #expecting most of your classmates to leave to work in other countries eventually. mine are aiming for the usa / uae / europe / japan etc #anyway whether vespa breaks her rsa or not she leaves ranga asap decides to switch careers and the rest is history #i also deeply love the fact that she's superstitious i'm very sad it wasn't highlighted more (i've only heard s1-3)#as someone who did grow up in a rural area and went to more albularyos/folk healers than doctors in my childhood. (they never failed me)#lots of folk illnesses (ex. balis; pasma) local medical superstitions (dont eat noodles in hospital; youll have a really toxic shift) etcc #theres also a lot of potential in tying her past as a rangian + med student + assassin to me idk how to word this properly #being raised on cautionary tales of not to touch/disturb anything in the swamps then being given free reign to poke & prod at things in her #lab classes (now with the proper ppe)....she was having so much fun with the curemother prime too lmao #years of walking hanging bridges docks boathouses in ranga etc gave her great balance & stealth #cracking open alien shellfish in the swamps to cutting open bodies for studying then for assassination....#I MISS HER SO MUCH BALIK KN SAKEN 😭😭😭😭😭😭#i get why most people + the canon focuses on her being an assassin bc people find that cooler i guess #but vespa being a swamp girl > 3rd world med student > assassin is so personal To Me. the whole pipeline. eugh.#skl.txt

I have a question for people in the medical field:

Am I supposed to be able to pull my kneecap straight up? Like it hurts but I can and also it always hurts so…? Am I just weird? Also I’ve moved it to the wrong side of my knee, like the inside bend part? I think my knees are fucked? Oh and also I’m slowly losing the ability to bend my knees.

Update: I woke up this morning and it is excruciatingly painful to bend my right leg at the knee, like I refuse to do it it hurts so bad. Help

#im still procrastinating so bear with me #ive just been thinking abt something. like the idea of a support system #bc as a 1st year grad student ppl around me r like: it must be hard being away from ur support system or ive left my support system when i #moved halfway across the country. and like i dont really feel that way bc idk the idea of a support system is sorta odd to me #like for me i guess it would just b my parents who i kno love me but im just so weirdly asocial that i never really talk to them #like i hardly ever text them. we talk maybe every couple months. so like i guess i theoretically have support but its a bit abstract #and like i have friends i guess but again im a bit weird and dont really feel connected to ppl so i dont feel that close to anyone #surface level friendships i guess. i dunno. i just feel weird not not having a support system but also having it b hollow #i guess i cant feel it more now. like i feel like getting diagnosed as bip0lar made my problems seem more realized to my parents #like i dunno i just assumed they knew i was doing awful most of the time but maybe that wasn't the case #its such a weird thing to b diagnosed with. like the conotations feel a lot heavier and i feel like im not supposed to talk abt it to ppl #bc theyll think im unreliable or something. like it wouldnt b that big a deal if i was just depressed but the sometimes buring out of my #skin makes me somehow scarier. and i still feel conflicted bc i do have a bip0lar mood profile but i have very very high impulse control #and even when im going high my mind is still super rational about it. which seems weird bc low impulse control is common with #the diagnosis. its also y i dont fit an 4dhd profile. not that it really matters. i fit the criteria enough to be on the bip0lar spectrum #its not like someone's gonna come yell at me for not being bip0lar enough. i just feel odd about it is all #still feels fake i guess. hard to imagine feeling any different to how i feel now. which is weirdly stable. so i guess the meds r working #sigh... ok enough i need to go to sleep at 7pm so i can get up at like 2 to finish reading a paper. for some reason my god forsaken brain #works better in the early morning rip #unrelated

okay, quick advice needed! 🌷💞💞💞

so since last year, I've found myself having really awful health issues, and they've been affecting just about everything — friends, family, internships, studies!

so! this year, I've decided to get myself to exercise more! which is quite lovely, however, I've found why I've always struggled exercising in the past:

spoiler alert, it's not because I'm lazy.

it's boring.

that's it, that's what I've ignored for so long. exercising and going to the gym, the grey and monotone equipment, the same routine every week, it's so incredibly boring.

I've heard a million times about "discipline", but failed a million times on it. my adhd gremlin brain simply does not want it. but you know what actually works? martial arts. taekwondo. badminton. but all things you can't do alone!

so here's the question:

how do you make your workouts fun?

*banging metal objects together*

if your patients don't understand what you tell them, you are not an adequate or effective healthcare provider !!!

#mine #im actually tired of talking to people about their health and discovering that they barely have any idea whats going on #because they cant remember what their provider said and no notes or lit or resources were offered #not knowing their medication names or what they do #not knowing the side effects #not knowing what their conditions are called or how they work!#if you can't communicate with patients you HAVE A PROBLEM #you HAVE to meet them where they're at!!!!#and maybe this is very bachelors in communication studies of me but PLEASE #for the love of fuck #medblr #nurseblr #med studyblr #med school #med student #healthcare #medical assistant #and i don't mean like they don't know the specifics bc of a knowledge deficit #i mean if they don't understand when to take their meds and how #ur failing ur primary job !!!!!!

ooo tell me more about med student steve & nurse eddie 💕💕💕

HELLO JANAI!!! this fic is the one I'm most actively writing rn (as opposed to Kas!Steve AU where i'm constantly rotating it in my brain like a rotisserie chicken, but that's for outlining/untangling knots in the plot reasons lmao) so I am Very Happy to talk about it <3

I did actually finish properly outlining this AU today too!! Unless inspiration strikes me and I write way too much for something, it looks like this fic will be 7 chapters and a short epilogue.

SO, to answer your ask I'm going to share with you what some of the other ST characters (those that I've slotted into a healthcare role, at least) are doing in this AU:

Chrissy is the ward clerk, aka the person who handles all the admin tasks, on the ward Eddie works on! They're best friends, and if there's a quiet moment (or more likely, Eddie is on break) you can usually find them talking shit together at Chrissy's desk. Chrissy is also a bi icon in this AU 🩷💜💙

Joyce is the Nurse Unit Manager of the ward - as the title implies, she's the boss of the nursing staff on the ward and in charge of things like making sure hospital policies are being followed & organizing the nursing team so all patients are adequately cared for. She is Very Overworked but she runs a tight ship!

Argyle is one of the hospital pharmacists, and Jonathan is a trainee hospital pharmacist working with him (but not directly under him as Argyle's personal trainee. That'd be a little weird, considering they're dating). Argyle is also working on a research paper about the benefits of medicinal marijuana (with hopes the team's findings will contribute to further legalisation across the country).

Jason sucks. Jason is a medical student on placement with Steve, and he's... he's what we call a gunner. In med school, gunners are students who are ambitious to a fault, potentially willing to throw other students under the bus to further their own career or academic performance, and often focus too much on the "being right"/"being The Best at medicine" aspects of being a doctor instead of prioritizing the patient and their needs. Basically, he's an out-of-touch privileged jackass who comes from a long line of doctors, and has therefore just Assimilated into the family destiny without ever thinking about what being a doctor actually means.

Vickie works in the hospital pathology centre - she's one of the people who picks up samples and processes them after the doctors or nurses drop them off. Every time Robin goes up there (because it's common to send the med students off to drop off the pathology samples) she is So Very Normal and makes Normal People Conversation with Vickie. Robin is so smooth, I promise.

Nancy is another medical student like Robin & Steve are, and she's currently with the consult psychiatry team with Robin. Nancy is also dating Jonathan, because Jonathan has two hands, and Nancy is very interested in the research work Argyle does. She is still Steve's ex-girlfriend in this AU - they had a poorly-thought-out brief relationship in their first year of medical school, and no one in the medical school has let them live it down.

Dr Henry Creel is the consultant doctor in charge of the Internal Medicine team Steve & Jason are currently with. As he's in charge of the team, he's the one who grades the med students and decides if they pass or fail their placement term. I'm sure nothing bad will come of this.

For reference, the "young adults" of the ST cast are in their mid-twenties in this AU. This means that those in fields like nursing or pharmacy have already graduated from college and are full-status employees in their chosen fields, while the med students of the group are still working their way through medical school (since doing a bachelor's + an MD is pretty time-consuming, and that's before you take any time off from studying after high school or between degrees). Also, Henry is Older here, since in canon he's like... what, 40 in 1986? He's at least in his fifties in this AU, since consultant doctors are rarely any younger than that (particularly if they're not brand new to the job).

Also, if I haven't said this elsewhere already, this is a modern AU! No way am I forcing myself to replace all my healthcare knowledge with healthcare knowledge from 40 years ago for this fic, it's bad enough I have to pretend to understand how the American healthcare system works lmao

Send me an ask about my WIPs!

#charlie writes things #med student steve & nurse eddie #hospital au #at the moment i think the only ones who won't make an actual appearance in the fic are argyle & jonathan #they're living their best (most peaceful) lives in pharmacy land while steve and eddie have their relationship problems #god bless <3 #also i think somewhere along the line this fic accidentally became about me finding meaning in my chosen course of study #and exploring what being a doctor means to me. through the medium of steve harrington #huh.#i could unpack that in therapy but pffffft who has time for that *throws the whole suitcase away*#also NO i have no idea what robin ship i'm going with for this au ok!!!!!! i just know it's not going to be ronance #nancy already has a bf and her bf has a bf. nancy could ALSO have a gf but she doesn't have time for that in med school lmao #maybe i'll just let robin have two girlfriends.
