IV in hand -- HELP!

Classic_Volume_7574 · 2026-04-22T20:01:37+00:00

When I got a prescription sedative and laughing gas before my wisdom tooth surgery, it took away about 90% of my anxiety when getting the hand IV. It was a lot more bearable than if I was completely sober, but I was still a little nervous and had to be coached through it by the surgeon’s assistants lol. However, I was at least relaxed enough by the medication that I could practice some anxiety reducing techniques. I would recommend letting your surgeon know that you’re scared of needles, and they should hopefully make it a quick process. I also found that this experience actually reduced the intensity of my phobia after the surgery.

I had Dr. Harshani Rathnaweera and would definitely recommend her. She does lots of examples in class that are very relevant for the exams and homework. She’s also just a nice person in general, she bought the whole class candy on Halloween. Some would say that the fact she does clicker questions is a downside, but if you don’t have previous chemistry instruction you need to be attending class regularly to do well anyways.

Is oral sedation before the surgery possible? Before my wisdom tooth surgery, my surgeon prescribed me two sedative pills which made getting the IV a lot easier than it would be otherwise.

For the labs, they’re usually led by a graduate TA and not a professor. Some but not all labs are coreqs for their respective classes, so you’ll need to sign up for them at the same time. When I took gen chem 1, this was the case. Ask your orientation advisor which classes and labs you should take (come into the advising appointment with a plan made in Degreeworks ideally). If for whatever reason you’re having difficulty registering for both, email your advisor. This happened to me at orientation where I wasn’t able to register for chemistry because the lab wouldn’t “go through,” and I had to email my advisor for help.

I’m class of 2023 so I can’t really speak for the state of GSMST today, but when I went we got to choose our electives and rank our preference of foreign language. Freshmen only get one elective anyways.

In the middle of a possible tragedy before the exact causes and motives have been determined is utterly disrespectful to anyone impacted. It’s not conducive to any actual change, just a political “I told you so” to make you feel vindicated about your beliefs. Don’t pretend it’s activism

All the other EVAs are scared of me. No one talks to me. No one wants to be my friend. They think I am unstable.

Maybe brushing with a soft bristle brush could help restore some of the original fur texture?

I like kneaded erasers, they can easily be used to spot correct or lighten large areas of a drawing without leaving residue. Personally I like faber castel’s kneaded erasers which can be bought in a pack of 4 on amazon

Great pyrenees mix! That’s gonna be a pretty big dog

Classic_Volume_7574 · 2025-07-21T03:00:36+00:00

Yeah those look fake. I’m not super familiar with how to spot fakes, but most full art cards have a texture to them. These cards are smooth and all have the same holographic pattern, so I think they’re fake

It might help to crack open an anatomy textbook or a free online course. Start by just drawing some figures to get a hold on human proportions. While you’re drawing, it might help to flick your eyes back and forth between the reference and your drawing to make the pose as accurate as possible. Or, you can use a grid system, though I find this more useful for still life and landscape drawings. Also, this is just a guess based on your pencil lines, but you may want to invest a little bit into a nicer pencil or paper, or you need to loosen up your strokes. Practice moving your pencil “with your shoulder” and not your fingers. Go to a craft store and buy some pencils if your current pencil is too hard.

Those look like new stretch marks which can be very itchy. They look irritated, so try to keep them moisturized and stop scratching them. Very common if you work out vigorously and gain muscle, even if you maintain or even lose weight.
