That's awesome! I was always interested in trying a PSG to see how my sleep really is.

You probably have sleep apnea to some extent. It's pretty rare to do a study and not see any events....fuck that was a boring job.

Occupational therapist here! I'm told the rest of the department gets a good laugh when they see me walking with a 4'8" lady through the hallways.

Occupational therapist in training here, has your height ever been a disadvantage on the job for you?

Only when doing a close follow with a particularly unstable patient and I have to be able to have a hand on them and their wheelchair. IADLs can be a challenge too but other than that, I find myself able to sit next to them to complete treatment sessions. Hope this helps!

Yes, thank you! I'm not as tall as you, but being tall is going to be an added fun bit to working with people

I've always wondered how tall hospital workers could get by with scrubs. Everytime I go in to be checked up the scrubs they give me are ridiculously short, I legitimately get a double XL pants and have to tighten the belt so that the 400lb man they designed them for pleats all around me.
I'm 6'6-6'7 and my tall size scrubs were too long. Cherokee brand is the way to go for long legs. They aren't cheap, but they last.
The top was short however -_-(long torso)
I have a few pairs of long scrub pants from Cherokee that were a bit long as well.
I hate loose fitting scrubs. I roll with just the regular L size and scandalously show ample ankle. It truly is a struggle.
Are you in El Paso?
