Recently relocated to a new state, and it has taken some time to get settled. Seems like there is a lengthy wait to see a new psychiatrist in my area for medication management. Has anyone tried online platforms like Grow Therapy, MedVidi, etc., for medication? What documentation do they typically require in order to prescribe a controlled substance? How quickly are you seem? Any requirements for ongoing testing to confirm your taking the meds? Not opposed to testing, just want to be aware. TIA!

I am a new hospice physician. Their approach to non-malignant pain and agitation in end stage dementia patients appears to occ. favor opioids and benzos for patient “ comfort” over risk of falls. Besides the usual ” behavioral first approach,” I would greatly appreciate seasoned advice as to which specific scenarios should prevail pos or neg 4 adding meds. One example would be patient having increasing falls. Another one is that a CNA has already gotten hurt. What other criteria come 2 mind?

I’m a Radiologic Technologist with a bachelor’s degree in Radiologic Sciences and recently became an Epic Radiant Non-Invasive trainer. For the past two years I’ve been trying to transition into healthcare informatics or analyst roles but haven’t had success getting interviews.

What skills, certifications, or experiences would you recommend someone with a clinical background develop to break into healthcare IT or informatics?

Hello, I’ve been recently diagnosed, after 1.5yrs as an industry hire and I felt drained by the job more than it should be. I tried for the first month the Immediate release form 20mg in the morning and 10mg after lunch. It works and makes me feel like so much better about the job. But I get a terrible crash around 5pm, which is far from the end of the workday lol. I’ve seen some of you talking about the extended release form. Happy to hear your experience, I’ll talk to my therapist next week

My BS is extremely high but my doctor doesnt want to put me on metformin yet (it helps keep you young btw) but I have stubborn weight gain that exercise wont budge due to depression from work place retaliation. Although I'm only 15 pounds overwieght, I want to try ozempic for prevention. I can't seem to convince my doctor that I need it. My entire family has diabetes so I am the last one to get it. Is there a medical justification for why my doctor won't start me on medication?

What do you think about natural medicine or non-pharmaceutical remedies? A lot of times, there are remedies just as good, if not better, than reaching for medication for common ailments.

What are your thoughts on the natural side of medicine?

IHS is the perfect example on how socialized medicine can be misused. Patients here know they cannot be turned down for ANYTHING. So a lot of them engage in abuse. Some patients are seen almost every single day (I hurt my pinky toe, I kind of have the sniffles for a minute there, etc.). The amount of notes a single patient has in the EMR is ridiculous. HHS really needs to set some boundaries and limitations.
