Any narcotic rehabs in the Pittsburgh area???
Was found out at work today and need to SELF admit to a rehab ASAP. Any rehabs in Pittsburgh/surrounding areas that would take a self referral??? Pls don’t recommend going to see a physician.

OP, why are you so afraid of going to the doctor? You realize that in rehab there are going to be doctors there.

Listen it’s a really long story. Lets just say it’s in my best interest NOT to see any dr’s in the Pittsburgh area unless i really have to.

In my case she filed 6 months ago and it was mutual consent. So only took about 3 months, finalized around Feb. It did take a bit longer though bc we have kids and custody stuff

I have no idea what a teddy cut (mine just gets whatever the dog groomer says to do??? Do they have to get teddy cuts?) is but I think the green bow.

Im a dr and want to be better to my autistic patients?
Hi, I’m a doctor in the emergency department and I am NOT good with autistic patients. Like I think I caused an autistic guy to have a meltdown on my last shift. But I do want to be better, just dont know how. They dont teach this in med school, and its hard in the ED because we sometimes need the bright lights, or the pt has to sit in the waiting room for 11 hrs because were shortstaffed. But how do I be better? I have time to go to training or like a seminar if it’s in the Pittsburgh area. I’ve been off work for a bit (not related to the autism patient, dont worry!) and had a lot of time to think

This is very thoughtful of you. Your workplace might have some sort of specialist. I’m in Canada so YMMV but ours has a social worker dedicated to neurodiverse patients.
Frank_not_Burns 3 points · 1 month ago
We have a social worker but she’s mostly there for grieving families etc. I will give that a shot though thanks
Tiger_lily8 2 points · 1 month ago
That suxs. I work as a tech in the ED and I’m on the spectrum (high functioning, lvl 1) so maybe see if you have any coworkers like me and how they accommodate patient needs???
Frank_not_Burns -3 points · 1 month ago
I might have one coworker like that but I don’t want to be weird…
Tiger_lily8 3 points · 1 month ago
How is that weird? It’s better than traumatizing a patient and it seems like you dont have other resources besides the social worker
Frank_not_Burns -5 points · 1 month ago
I just don’t want to make her uncomfortable. Plus we haven’t spoken in a while and I don’t know what she thinks of me.

Dating after divorce + big life changes
Had a no fault divorce within the last year. TBH the marriage was pretty stressed for the years before the divorce but it was overall an amicable split. I just had a lot of issues come up that she didn’t want to deal with and I dont blame her. I’ve moved out and essentially have do redo some schooling but I’m getting paid for it so income isn’t a problem. Not living in my mom and dad’s basement or anything like that. (Being vague for privacy etc) I can take care of myself and I have visitation and partial custody, I'm not a deadbeat dad or anything.
Anyways I start work again tomorrow and I feel like the only person who wont hate me upon seeing me is my one coworker. Thats not the only reason I like her, there are plenty of reasons, but its just relevant to the post.
Ive had A LOT of time off work to think and reflect and I think I would really like to at least ask her out for a meal or coffee or something. I just want to get to know her better. IDK if thats too soon, or if my coworker will think she’s like a rebound. I havent dated in like 10 years and I REALLY don’t want to fuck this up. Pls helppppp. She's very very smart and sweet and... innocent? But not in a creepy way. We're both adults.

Dude, this is so soon. Plus what did you do to make all your other coworkers presumably hate you?????
cherrycokeenjoyer 4 points · 1 day ago
I'm wondering this as well. Guy's life seems like a mess. Not the time to start a new relationship.
Sharons_Husband -5 points · 1 day ago
I am probably old enough to be your father, but I divorced nearly forty years ago this October and met the love of my life just two weeks after. I say give it a try, she may be receptive or she may not. Take her out for a nice dinner, and do not talk about the divorce. My wife and I are coming up on 38 years of marriage this June– when you know, you know!

OP, this is AWFUL ADVICE. Whatever you do, DON’T DO THIS.

Going in Philly 7/10, are headphones allowed in?
Hi, I got last-minute tickets to the Philly show, and I’m wondering if noise-cancelling headphones would be allowed in? Like, the over the ear kind, not Loop earplugs or anything inconspicuous. Thanks in advance.
u/sparklemagic -25 points · 3 days ago
Why tf would you wear headphones to a MEGAN concert???? Literal waste of a ticket

My sister is level 2/3 and began at Holy Cross Day Center about 3 months ago. So far, she’s done well. I work unpredictable hours and they are accommodating. As well, there are lots of events and family/friends are able to attend– we have gone roller-skating, fly-fishing, and even speed-dating which was AWFUL but she came back with like four boyfriends haha.
(I don’t like using levels but I hope it will help you understand.)

My mentor, for sure. He’s so patient, extremely funny, and an excellent doctor. He was out on leave but is coming back this week and I am so excited! I missed him when he was gone.
Diefenbaker_the_w0lf 0 points · 2 days ago
Girl, are you sure he’s just your mentor ;)
mel_of_mistymountains 2 points · 2 days ago
Well, I think now he might technically be my coworker? He’s repeating a year of residency.

To be honest, it is very hard for me to realize I have a crush on someone. What’s worse is I don’t know what to do. I have a crush right now (I think????? How do you tell????) and it makes for a very confusing workday.
ourhouseisaveryveryfine 22 points · 7 hours ago
Ooooh,,, spill the tea! A coworker? LOL maybe we can gather all of our social skills and help you to ask him out?
mel_of_mistymountains 12 points · 7 hours ago
Not really a lot to tell unfortunately. He is recently divorced, good at his job, incredibly kind to me, and has a very nice face. We are definitely close at work but I don’t know if I’m reading into it too much.
summerbreeze3 12 points · 7 hours ago
Does he stand closer to you than he needs to? Is he ‘friendlier’ than normal? That’s how neurotypical men tend to flirt in my experience
mel_of_mistymountains 10 points · 7 hours ago
Kinda???? When we were resetting someone’s hip once, he stood behind me to help and it was very nice. And after a very bad day (the first day we met, actually) he walked me to my car. He pats my shoulder sometimes? Also one time he undid my ponytail because it was soaked in vomit but maybe he was doing that to be friendly. It was from a C Diff patient with fecal impaction though…
mr_robinson2 9 points · 7 hours ago
… where the fuck do you work? also, he’s for sure into you. most normies don’t remove puke (im assuming shit-puke???) from their coworkers hair
mel_of_mistymountains 3 points · 7 hours ago
To be completely fair we never found out if there was actual stool in the vomit. We were both just very glad to not have caught C Diff. I work with him today so I will try and speak to him if we both have time.

💜Dr. J 💜- Everyone’s Fave ER Girlie!!! 🚑 @itsurgirldrj
Posted July - 4 - 2025
📍Pittsburgh, PA
itsurgirldrj i saw the CUTEST thing at work today. 💜 #forbiddenromance
Transcript:
Dr. J: Hey everyone! I’m so glad you’re here and I hope you all had a really happy and safe Fourth of July. Um, so this isn’t really an informational video, like, there’s nothing medical in it, but the cutest thing JUST happened at work today and of course I had to tell you guys!
[Dr. J pauses and stands for a moment. The sound of a door shutting is audible.]
Dr. J: Haha, sorry guys! So, basically, I have these two millennial coworkers that have been in love, since, like, forever. Um, and one of them was away for a bit, but then he came back, and she was like, so happy! Which was really cute.
[The video cuts, and Dr. Javadi reappears, looking slightly exhausted.]
Dr. J: Back again! I’m finally off of work, so I won’t be interrupted anymore. Thank God.
Man’s voice, muffled: Victoria, I’m ordering pizza for dinner? Would you like cheese?
Dr. J, visibly frustrated, but smiling through it: Da-
[The video cuts again.]
Dr. J: Sorry, everyone! That was my, um, roommate? Friend? So, anyways. I had to go to the supply room today, because we ran out of blankets upstairs and I lost at Rock, Paper, Scissors. So, I go in, and THEY’RE KISSING! Like full on, on the lips kissing! It was soooooo cute. It was like an Ali Hazelwood book, um, and his face was all red. He’s like way too old for me, he was born in like, the 1900s–
[Dr. J makes a silly face, laughing at the absurdity of someone having been born that long ago.]
But he looked at her with like, the biggest eyes, and then he went–
[Dr. J does her best imitation of a man's voice. It’s not horrible.]
You’re not going to tell our boss, right? And I’m not a snitch, plus, I mean, love is love, right? And it was adorable. So I shook my head, and then Dr– um, for this video, I guess I’ll call her Dr. Queen? Dr. Queen was blushing so much and I smiled at her and then I walked away. Um, it was a little awkward, because I had to come back to get the blankets, and Dr.-- uh, I can’t come up with a good nickname for him– Dr. Man was soooo pissed.
[Dr. J laughs.]
To be honest, it was kinda gross? But also, yay them? I mean, they’re both kind of nerdy, so I felt really happy for them. Obviously I’m a nerd too, but still. It was super adorbs. I really hope that um, my situations–
Man’s voice, muffled: Victoria, Amma is waiting for you to come down so that we can watch the Princess Bride!
[Dr. J blushes.]
Dr. J: Alright, guys, I’m gonna end this unless anyone wants a part 2. Remember to follow, like, and comment!
