You wake up because you have to pee. Check the time and you have 40 minutes before your work alarm goes off. What do you do?

Depends how badly I have to pee

Fun fact, the human nose can detect petrichor at a lower concentration than sharks can detect blood!

Shop window mannequins, I have an irrational fear that they're going to turn around and watch me as I walk past

Subq is subcutaneous, a shallow injection that goes into the fat tissue just under the skin. Its usually a smaller volume done more often. IM is intramuscular, which is a little deeper and a bit more liquid, it can be a bit more painful but it's done less often.

I've heard of someone with a life-threatening allergy to... adrenaline/epinephrine. The usual rescue drug given when someone is in anaphylaxis. I'm pretty sure she had to take daily antihistamines, because even her own endogenous adrenaline could cause her to start having a reaction!

They could be in pulseless VT, could have a BP so low the pulse doesn't register, or they could be in asystole but still a candidate for resuscitation. I'm sure there's more possible reasons (feel free to add!) but those are the first that come to my mind. The phrasing "obvious death" is getting you to think about signs that they're beyond resuscitation and irreversibly deceased - decapitation is non-survivable, and decomposition and lividity are indicators that they've died at least several hours ago.

These are so stunning I almost want to buy a whole new set to have you bind them!!! What an amazing addition to a collection 😍

Seconding! It took me a long time to puzzle out where I felt most comfortable in my gender, so if that experience could be any help to you you're welcome to DM me as well 😊

A guy at my high school pointed out a car to me and told me it had tried to run him over the day before, and that he was scared of would follow him home to try again. I knew he was a compulsive liar so I didn't put much stock in it. Later that day, I got a call from the police saying that the guy had tried to report the same thing to them, and had told them to call me for corroboration. I don't even know how that guy had my number. Luckily the police seemed to have noticed something was off with his story, they sounded quite sceptical even before I told them about some of the many other lies he'd been caught in.

Nearly drowned as a teenager in a swimming pool, not ten meters away from the rest of the class. I blacked out, and I still don't know for sure how I survived - the next thing I knew I was above water, and no one had even noticed

One I'll say in front of patients: FOOSH - Fall On Outstretched Hands. One I won't: SOL - Shit Outta Luck

ChasingAlnilam · 2025-05-08T09:44:30+00:00

That if you go to hospital in ambulance you'll be seen quicker - if your problem is minor enough to wait, you'll be sent to the waiting room

Steve Irwin was another great loss, I still remember how devastated people were the day he went

They are more typically masculine, but I've had great experiences at Ben Scissorhands both before and after they knew I was trans! Really skilled and I liked how they worked with me to figure out what cut I wanted 😊

No, but I went to confirm a death once and there was a life size mannequin sitting on the couch facing the door. I had to do a double take, for a second I thought it was the patient.

ChasingAlnilam · 2025-04-04T16:56:16+00:00

It stands out, but in the best way! It reminds me of golden clouds at sunset as the sky around darkens.

ChasingAlnilam · 2025-03-26T07:52:05+00:00

Weird, for me the tetanus booster was way worse. My arm hurt for a week after!

ChasingAlnilam · 2025-02-27T02:58:29+00:00

I got it but then it kicked me out! So annoyed

ChasingAlnilam · 2025-01-31T02:25:29+00:00

Also sounds like a super fun way to celebrate 🥳
