call me whatever you want I genuinely don't care. you can call me he she they or it I genuinely don't care. the funniest thing a patient called me is a reference to one of my many obvious physical deformities. if you care what I'm called that's very genuinely a you problem. and honestly the more it bothers people to not know what to call me the funnier it gets.

The secret is to just not care what people call you when you're not there. Even when I'm in the room and people are talking about me it's mostly just funny to listen to whatever they come up with.

IT'S PRIDE MONTH

fwiw my understanding was "if people are willing to go black/grey market for it, it must be lucrative and/or a thing people greatly need!" and my answer to THAT question is:

it is very lucrative for the clinic. You'll get some pocket change, similar to the cut a hooker gets from her pimp.

Now, they are doing something of an important service to you and the client in terms of keeping you out of child support but also out of the child's life without the consent of the parents (until 16-18, as you said). They're also attending to some sexual health and genetic concerns. But they're almost definitely not providing enough benefit to justify their cut. Fertility medicine is verery lucrative business as I understand.

yeah they really don't seem to understand the importance of holding up the FREE end of the bread and circuses contract

I'm an RN I have basically 0 control over what gets prescribed. last time I called like 3 times begging for opiates for a legit medical problem I got a 1 time dose not even a scheduled or prn. there's next to literally nothing I can do, no. But even nurses who have worked other specialties have told me they basically go off the poss score as in, if you're asking and alert and still able to breathe fast enough and it's within time parameters you get more and if you can't or they can't give more you don't get more. Rating it in number alone is basically just useless.

Was watching Fionna and Cake and really getting the feels from Simon Petrikov. Like what if I did just like. Go be mentally ill again. Being a normie with a job isn't working out great. You know what was great? Hot shower / cold beer. Gonna try therapy one more time but like. Ugh. Please do not bother me with platitudes unless you've got $100 to send me monthly to put towards my rent.

Bristol 6

I'd rather them just have safe places to sleep than clog up the psych ward. I wanna provide a safe comfy playpen for people so manic / psychotic they don't know their ass from a hole in the ground (or very truly and deeply suicidal) then release them safely back into the world to continue a fulfilling existence once they come out of it.

Instead we have a rotating roster of homeless people trying to figure out the right thing to say to prolong their stay as much as possible then literally threatening to kill me when they have to follow the rules meant to keep the manic / psychotic / suicidal people safe from themselves. No you can't have your cellphone because alien abduction annie over here would be posting pics of her butthole on her public Facebook to try to entice the Venusians to come back for it and our guy who just ODed on Friday would be texting his dealer to try and do it again and our lady who insists she tried to hang herself would be getting lovebombed by the boyfriend that actually put those marks on her neck.

Like genuinely 3 hots and a cot homeless people are often my favorites but the ones making death threats over the turkey sandwiches being too dry are kinda getting to me lately.
