I've got a presentation next week, so I'm worried I will blank out and stuff up. I have social anxiety. Any tips, please? Has any of your peers blanked out in the middle?

How do Lankan vloggers such as Sarah Ilyas live the lavish lifestyle? Is there something they dont show us? I am sure she has help at home, but she doesn't disclose any of those. I love her account but just want to know

I’m thinking about becoming an occupational therapist here in Australia, but honestly I feel a bit late to be starting over and I’m trying to make a really solid decision, especially with how expensive everything is right now. I’m currently just getting by with odd jobs and not earning much, so I want to be realistic about whether this path will actually give me stability long-term. I’d really love to hear from OTs about the good, the bad and the ugly—what your workload is actually like, how long it took before you felt financially comfortable or went out on your own, whether running a clinic is even worth it at the moment, and what you wish you knew before starting. If anyone started later as well, I’d really appreciate hearing how that went for you.

EDs are always packed with long wait times, so I’m wondering why don’t we see more privately owned (doctor-owned) urgent care clinics like in the US?

Is it mainly because of Medicare or are there other barriers (funding, staffing, regulations) or just too expensive to run?
