in the morning i will try to request someone else, and i’ll look into seeing if they have anywhere to anonymously send a complaint or something. i have experiences like this every single time i come in sadly, the healthcare system in alberta is beyond fucked & putting it frankly they do not care about their patients. so it’s hard for me to see the point in coming in again, unless i end up moving somewhere completely different

Sweet fuck I’m sorry that doctor thinks you’re dangerous. Please tell them you want a different doctor ! Do you have anyone there to help you ? Do you need help to find a way to complain? Some hospitals have places to put comment cards for the staff and no one will do anything about this behavior unless we report every instance. Sometimes it takes multiple reports :C

I hope they at least can help with what actually brought you there and you’ll be home eventually.

Please don’t let one incompetent jackass turn you away from healthcare. It gets more important as you get older 😞 Be as firm as you can that you no longer trust this doctor to care for you. They have plenty. You don’t need THAT one.

I feel for you OP. I'm a 56M, and can still remember times at parties or gigs, or whatever, 30 or 40 years ago, where my anxiety felt like a physical restraint on me. And we'd go our separate ways, some lovely human thinking that she'd read it wrong, that I want interested after all, when in fact I so desperately was.

But the past is the past, so don't beat yourself up over things you can't change. There's always a next time, and one of those next times you'll get it right!

Tenure track is not a requirement to stay. Who cares if grad school perspective is so wrapped up in the low odds of a competitive TT position that everyone talks as if it's still the holy grail of the profession? It isn't. If society valued education, we'd be paid more. Instead, we're criminally underpaid. It's an unfunny joke.

Also, teaching takes away from learning and personal growth. My job feels like a total waste of my abilities. Maybe I'm just overworked and undersupported, or maybe the profession simply isn't an ivory tower at all. Maybe the Ivies have more support? I wouldn't know.

Anyhow, start working on converting the CV into a resume, and put some applications out there, as you put it: "so as to not have regrets about not trying." I'll be doing the same. The worst answer is complacency.

I hope she dumps your cheating ass. You suddenly forgot you had a girlfriend? You didn’t. You made a choice. You chose to go to your ex’s house. You chose to stay there too long. You chose to get intimate. You chose to cheat. You are an horrible person and now you want to play the victim.
