    I am currently attending Trinity University in San Antonio for my Bachelor's degree in psychology. I want to go on to get my master's and my LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor). I would like to work in my own practice doing therapy, and possibly in some sort of medical setting.

    Does the vest always help?

    Hey Everyone, I've noticed recently that I seem to cough up more stuff just by doing the HS alone, without the vest, versus doing both. Is it possible that the vest could actually be hindering my airway clearance in some way? Thanks for any advice!

    PICCs and clots

    Not sure about the PICC, but whenever my port won't flush and if they suspect a clot, they inject a clot-buster type medicine (I'll probably remember the name of it at 3 in the morning). In order to get it into the line, they use a stopcock, which uses some type of reverse pressure to pull the...
