During anesthesia for an obese patient, there can be issues. The distribution of drugs can be affected by the extra fat in the body.

Sure. There was a PA who joined a community health center. Initially, the center was struggling with high patient no - show rates for follow - up appointments. The PA took it upon herself to start a reminder call system. She also spent extra time explaining to patients the importance of follow - up. As a result, the no - show rate dropped significantly. This led to better management of chronic conditions in the patients, like diabetes and hypertension.

A common horror story is related to the monitoring aspect. Physicians in the program may be subject to very strict and sometimes unrealistic monitoring. They might have to report their every move, from work hours to personal activities. This over - monitoring can feel like a loss of freedom and privacy, and can also add unnecessary stress to an already stressed - out individual.

One horror story could be a physician assistant misdiagnosing a serious condition as something minor. For example, mistaking early signs of a heart attack for indigestion. This led to the patient not getting the proper immediate treatment and the situation worsening over time.

Sure. One success story is about a physician assistant named Sarah. She was accepted into a very competitive program. She had volunteered in medical clinics during her undergrad years. This hands - on experience, along with her excellent academic record, made her stand out. The program recognized her passion for patient care and her ability to learn quickly, and she's now a successful PA in a large hospital.

In a certain operation, the surgical tech didn't properly sterilize some equipment. As a result, the patient developed a serious post - operative infection.

Well, in some horror stories related to improper surgical techniques in BBL, the surgical incisions were not made or closed properly. This can lead to significant scarring. Moreover, if the anesthesia is not administered correctly during the BBL procedure, it can pose serious risks to the patient's health. The patient may experience excessive bleeding or other life - threatening conditions during the surgery due to these improper techniques.

The layout of BronyCon was also a problem in some horror stories. Some areas were not clearly marked, so people got lost trying to find their favorite events or booths. There were also not enough signs indicating things like restrooms, exits, and food areas. It was really frustrating for the attendees, especially those new to the convention.

Sure. There are cases where the staff is rude. They might be having a bad day, but that's no excuse to be impolite to customers. For instance, snapping at a customer who asks for a refill or being dismissive when a customer has a complaint about their order.

Sure. Many passengers have complained about Spirit Airlines' flight cancellations. Sometimes, they cancel flights at the last minute without any valid reasons that seem reasonable to the passengers. For example, a family was all set to go on vacation, and their flight got cancelled just a few hours before departure. The airline didn't offer them a suitable replacement flight immediately, causing them to miss a day of their vacation.
