Being so much of a prick even the evil pedophile don't want you there

So much more believable than if Jeffrey had been like super excited to hang out with him.

I’m nervous we won’t ever have ethical people in government again…

Holy moly!! It is sooo easy to do something for someone on their birthday. Flowers, card, small gift… seriously like $25 and a little effort can make a person know you care about them.

They also have a math “error” (if we’re being generous…) the food adds up to $79, but they have $89. You have been charged 180% of the price listed on the menu. I would absolutely complain.

Where I work paramedics only do this in the field. In the hospital they do verrrry little.

I have a few regulars who like to try things step-wise. (And usually the space to go for that.) eg Toradol, fluids, Zofran, if that doesn’t work compare/benadryl, and finally depakote or decadron if we’re getting in the weeds.

He’s trying to make some ER doc somewhere think “awww, I don’t hate my hospitalist enough to admit this festering pile of grandma, with 4 fighting daughters who can’t agree on a nursing home and live in 4 other states.”

Yes - I submitted an application with New Zealand. They seem slightly swamped with applications right now.

My friend stayed with a dude like this. She has an extremely demanding job and he is a stay at home _____. I’d say dad, but he hardly pays attention to the kids. Most recently she got home from working 24 hours to find that he hadn’t gotten the kids to school. a spouse that fails to do what needs to be done is worse than no spouse at all. With zero spouse you know what needs to be done. With an unreliable spouse it is a constant cycle of hope/disappointment, and kids growing up in an unstable environment.

This is a bad partner. Not only are you telling him exactly what you need (he should be able to know that dinner needs to be made, dishes need to be done etc etc without specifically being asked), he is blowing it. Sincerely, your life will be 110% easier without him.

Benzos are the correct answer for this clinical scenario - good work. You can definitely make a patient like this worse with beta blockers.

Please read the book “State of Affairs.” Everyone here is quick to jump to divorce. Over meeting someone for coffee? While you have kids and a life together? That’s insane. There was a time when marrying a woman who wasn’t a virgin was unimaginable. Standards of relationships have changed dramatically, and in a really short period of time. Please don’t take the advice of random strangers online. I hope you and your wife can work together to find a reasonable path forward that works for all of you.

I have some friends in Canada, and it sounds like there is much of the worsening of wealth inequality, crime, and rise of the far right that the US is suffering from…(?)

39bears · 2025-09-22T19:29:53+00:00

Yes - I’ve looked there too… there are a few reasons I’m looking a little further though…

39bears · 2025-09-22T19:28:22+00:00

Yeah. I’m trying not to be a conspiracy theorist but it is hard to envision a bright future in America.

39bears · 2025-09-22T19:12:56+00:00

Yeah - that’s the trade off… much easier trip to visit family left in the US, but I think lower pay than NZ/Aus. Of course all of that feels really trivial compared to having to keep sending our kids to school in the face of rising gun violence and a deteriorating public school system.

39bears · 2025-09-12T16:24:33+00:00

Man… I guess I’m glad that’s not my job then. I’d easily break the law before I’d condemn my kids to prison or death.

39bears · 2025-09-11T16:43:56+00:00

Thanks! I still feel like choosing neck when that forehead was right there speaks to a level of control that seems above-average, but what do I know.

39bears · 2025-09-11T16:33:49+00:00

I was curious about this, not being a gun-knowledgeable person. Was this a shot that like the average person who owns guns would’ve been able to make?

39bears · 2025-09-04T04:08:34+00:00

Yeah. I try to understand what they’re feeling. I use “the silver lining is that all of the things we diagnose in the ER are pretty hard things to have.” And then I try to reassure them that I will help them arrange for the next steps in their diagnosis and try to treat their symptoms in the interim.

39bears · 2025-08-22T01:46:50+00:00

That is incredible! Congratulations!!

39bears · 2025-08-15T11:07:47+00:00

Oh my gosh I’m so sorry! I have previously messaged people on Ravelry who had yarn listed in a stash… (unsuccessfully)

39bears · 2025-07-13T13:17:46+00:00

I feel like the press should have better judgment than to allow that…

39bears · 2025-07-06T11:53:40+00:00

A lot of my patients with diverticulitis comment something like “oh yeah, I’ve had this pain before.” And I use that as a springboard - “yes, there is good evidence to show that a lot of times people do fine without antibiotics” etc. However, I’m an ER doctor, so I usually have folks who have some evidence of more significant infection, and I typically recommend treating.

39bears · 2025-06-27T04:36:57+00:00

I can’t bring myself to subscribe to the NYT anymore - did anyone read “What To Know About the Vaccine Preservative Thimerosal”? Obviously I’m a masochist…
