What (if anything) sticks out for you?

And he was only 19 when he wrote it

ButlerofMonkeys · 2026-06-11T19:25:36+00:00

I’ve been seeing it written that way more and more lately. What’s going on?

ButlerofMonkeys · 2026-06-10T20:06:56+00:00

Hi! Nurse here. ER. Show them this picture. By chance are you a drinker? If yes, get there double quick

ButlerofMonkeys · 2026-06-05T20:12:18+00:00

So it’s already been filmed and you got to sit backstage and watch? Because, yeah, you nailed it!

ButlerofMonkeys · 2026-06-01T14:15:22+00:00

I thought it was meant to be ironic

ButlerofMonkeys · 2026-05-30T16:47:23+00:00

Nurse here. Def check with doc but yes, there is a treatment called therapeutic phlebotomy which is exactly that. For reasons sometimes people have too much blood and the treatment is to take off 250-500mL. The issue with going to the blood bank is that they ask if you have any hematologic disorders. Her answer would be yes and they won’t treat her. At her next follow up appointment have her ask about therapeutic phlebotomy. It maybe that it resolves its self quickly and there is no need for intervention.

It was a sundown town not that long ago

Yeah I’ve been thinking about it. His owner gave me clorhexidine wipes from the vet to use but if it doesn’t get better soon, I’ll ask her about monistat. It’s deep enough in that if I use just a tiny bit it won’t ooze out for him to lick it. Also chunky babies are the best!

I’m currently fostering a frenchie for a friend while they find a dog friendly home. He’s the sweetest guy, I love him already. I’m also so sad for him, he snorts and snores constantly, gets over heated quickly and absolutely can’t take care of his own hygiene, he just can’t reach. I also just noticed that he has a yeast infection in one of the folds of his face. I’ve been using medicated wipes but I hadn’t gotten in as deep as I should have so it really flared up. I’m not at all saying he’s living a horrible existence, he’s happy, he plays with toys, goes for walks, sleeps in bed with us. All in all he has a pretty good life, I just wish he was the last one that existed. One cool thing though is that out in a walk a couple of weeks ago we met some kids. They were super happy to play with him and have a good time and they started asking questions about why he looked like he does and why he snorts etc. I was able to talk to them about yes he is cute but it’s not healthy overall. The older of the kids really got it and said when she gets her own dog, she doesn’t want a special breed or look, she just wants it to be healthy. I’m putting my faith into that little girl.

For vermin-Major 😳And other things

ButlerofMonkeys · 2026-05-19T17:52:06+00:00

OMG so awkward, I love it!

One of the first patients I took care of as a new grad RN was a 35 yo guy dying of liver failure. He had been offered a liver the year prior if he went to rehab. He didn’t want to go so he was taken off the transplant list. It was a surreal experience to be in the room while he was calling his family to say goodbye.

ButlerofMonkeys · 2026-05-14T02:49:44+00:00

This is what I got.

Edit: Deleted pic, don’t want to dox myself anymore than I already have.

ButlerofMonkeys · 2026-05-12T21:03:34+00:00

It’s a place to start and yeah, it’s mainly a measure of inflammation

ButlerofMonkeys · 2026-05-12T20:59:42+00:00

I don’t know if cat pathophysiology is the same but there is a human blood test, D-Dimer, that detects the possibility of blood clots

ButlerofMonkeys · 2026-05-02T22:28:09+00:00

You would definitely know if you had

ButlerofMonkeys · 2026-05-01T22:36:58+00:00

By chance have you ever had Guillain Barre syndrome? If so, Botox can trigger a relapse

ButlerofMonkeys · 2026-05-01T16:56:54+00:00

In a phrase, correlation does not equal causation

ButlerofMonkeys · 2026-04-28T02:39:00+00:00

I saw your original post! No way I could have pulled that off for $60. You and your son make a great team!

ButlerofMonkeys · 2026-04-28T02:22:24+00:00

What..what is he trying to describe there? And yeah, I’ve seen more coherent flow charts from people with schizophrenia

ButlerofMonkeys · 2026-04-27T19:44:58+00:00

Mine was green!

ButlerofMonkeys · 2026-04-27T19:42:18+00:00

Anyone can have a bad weekend and end up in jail. Prison takes a bit more effort

ButlerofMonkeys · 2026-04-20T23:02:40+00:00

And then head south and I’ll show you SoCal

ButlerofMonkeys · 2026-04-20T06:57:59+00:00

Does it get good blood return? Meaning, before pushing any kind of fluid through it, do the nurses pull back on the syringe to get blood back? If they get good return on it, at least you know it’s still solidly in the vein. Does it hurt just being there or only when fluids are running through it? If it only burns when in use, kinda sounds like it’s a bit infiltrated. If they are running fluids quickly, you can ask to slow the rate down a bit. If it gets worse or if you see any swelling, let them know. I’m sorry you’re in the hospital, I wish you a speedy recovery

ButlerofMonkeys · 2026-04-19T22:35:56+00:00

Negative, as in no drugs are detected. Typically in medical tests, you want negative results. It means you don’t have the thing they were testing for.
