Our primary care physician (PCP) couldn&#39;t do it, but did say with an assessment and recommendation by a psychiatrist she could prescribe the medication. She referred him to some psychiatrists who were 3 hours away and booked until May 2024.<br/><br/>We contacted the insurance to look for other options and they found us some remote options. He talked with the first doctor who said he doesn&#39;t have ADHD, but ADHD-like symptoms from traumatic brain injury (he was in sports when he was younger and had multiple concussions). The only known course of treatment for traumatic brain injury with these symptoms is Adderall. But... this psychiatrist isn&#39;t allowed to recommend treatment in Florida for some reason, so he was evaluated by a second psychiatrist. Same diagnosis and they could make the recommendations, so we took the assessment and recommendation paperwork back to the PCP.<br/><br/>PCP said within the last month the clinic has changed its policies and no one could prescribe the Adderall because it is a mental health drug and they don&#39;t prescribe mental health drugs anymore (that&#39;s funny... they just renewed my Lexapro...). So now I&#39;m calling around to see if there are any PCPs in the area willing to take the assessment and fill this prescription and haven&#39;t had luck yet. <br/><br/>WTF, folks.... this is a 42 year old man with a diagnosed brain injury and the doctors are like &#34;Whoa...Adderall is the treatment? Nooooope.&#34; Like... what is he supposed to do? Keep suffering?<br/><br/>I asked if there was any other medication to try since it&#39;s obviously an issue and multiple doctors told us no, this is the only labeled medication for his condition. So...we have a diagnosis, a treatment plan, and everyone agrees this is the only treatment... but prescribing it crosses some kind of line? And he can&#39;t get into a local psychiatrist until May?<br/><br/>So much for the Hippocratic Oath. Do no harm... unless you could judged by insurance companies then fuck those patients. 2023-12-20T15:42:36Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsf6mtju6gj7y3p2ssm48r5pqjjjzrjn6pl0v4gakfwpjygylv2meqzyrntrtknqmpv0uc5frgyvdyl80vemym5ws83j4zccpe6ddpcu9496wqulvv Husband: What are you doing?<br/><br/>Me: Playing the new Sims For Rent pack. <br/><br/>Husband: Oh, are you going to be a landlord?<br/><br/>Me: Kind of.

Then after making progress, leadership changes and it starts all over again.<br/><br/>Cybersecurity is all over business news and if you don&#39;t know the importance as a leader, then I feel like you&#39;ve been living under a rock for a few decades. Stop wasting our energy, give us the resources, and get out of the way. <br/><br/>And no this isn&#39;t a call for telling me how to have better relationships with leadership, the proper metrics, talk business language, etc. It&#39;s just complaining we even have to waste time on that stuff to begin with when we could be doing awesome things in defensive security. 2023-09-13T23:14:12Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsrckdxexukyy8krj3c3vpnkhfgxg79g2jgac4hlqpumzdla0caq0gzyrntrtknqmpv0uc5frgyvdyl80vemym5ws83j4zccpe6ddpcu9496nr78vc I&#39;m envious of people with clear ambition and an idea of their future. <br/><br/>I hate being asked where I want my career to go because I don&#39;t know or really care. Like, I just want to exist and not think about the future. I don&#39;t care about growing intentionally.<br/><br/>Do I want to be a director/ciso? Maybe. Do I want to continue working in security? Maybe. Do I want to do something else in security? Maybe. Do I want to stay where I am? Maybe. <br/><br/>I just don&#39;t have any strong feelings one way or the other and it makes me feel alone since everyone seems so focused on growth, promotions, and goals. <br/><br/>And it isn&#39;t really an age thing. I&#39;m almost 40. I should have a plan, but I just can&#39;t quite figure it out. 2023-09-12T19:17:32Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs8gn8rg0j242wk3q9q3dkymqw0eufwyq69xgkzrdcd5qg07nad0vszyrntrtknqmpv0uc5frgyvdyl80vemym5ws83j4zccpe6ddpcu9496znly0p You love ramen and want an easy marinated egg recipe? I got you! I have made these multiple times and they are amazing!<br/><br/>Ingredients:<br/>-6 room temperature eggs (or run them under the facet until they are room temp like I do)<br/>- 1 tbsp of vinegar<br/><br/>Marinade:<br/>- 1/2 cup of water or veggie stock<br/>- 5 tbps of soy sauce<br/>- 4 tbps of Mirin<br/>- 2 tsp of dark soy sauce (this is optional, but gives fantastic color)<br/><br/>Instructions:<br/><br/>Combine all marinade ingredients in a quart sized Ziploc bag and set aside. <br/><br/>Boil water and add vinegar. For that jammy yoke, we want soft boiled eggs. Gently lower eggs into water and cook for 6 minutes (add another 6 minutes if you want solid yokes). Remove to ice bath. Let sit in the ice bath until cool.<br/><br/>Carefully peel the eggs and put in the marinade. Get as much air as you can out of the Ziploc and close it up. Put it in the fridge.<br/><br/>Let it sit for at least 1 hour, but honestly overnight give the best flavor.<br/><br/>Adding a marinated egg, some sliced shitake mushrooms, and some seaweed (cut up some nori) takes store bought ramen to the next level for just a few extra dollars. 2023-07-31T01:44:24Z
