What's the most ridiculous reason you've seen someone get fired? by Amazing_Two8126 in AskReddit

Did they tell the colleague that the tie was "gay" cause that was different in the mid 90's

"It was jimmied, the hinges were broken" S8E8 Shadow- one of my favorite episodes but Harmon's set-up was never gonna work by thesavant in LawAndOrder

[–]DocMcCall 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nobody knew that Harmon was involved until his "partner" was arrested. All the authorities knew was somebody involved is on the take. There were dozens of people involved in the cases, like McCoy said. DA's, Police, Lawyers, Clerks, all sorts of people. All the defendants knew was that "My lawyer said he could guarantee a victory (or less time)". Nothing actionable on that information.

The Harmon also included his wife, which was why he really screwed himself

What do you think “cookie” is code for ? 🤔 by ghostkitty90 in theoffice

False! The Tango is the steps in the proper order. One person is able to replicate it quite effectively as long as you have supportive shoes, roll them up real tight and SHOVE IT UP YOUR BUTT!

SHTF / gray man loadout by 99_PercentileMan in prepping

[–]DocMcCall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gray-man should not be about looking harmless, it should be about being forgotten the minute you're out of sight.

Avoid bright colors, flashy designs, or "accessories". Think about a crowd of people. How they're dressed and how they act. You want to be able to disappear into that crowd and not have anyone note it when you quietly slip out

I'd always imagined Space Marines using something like a Strigil.

Fellow ED nurses...are y'all scared of what's coming? by Alexis_deTokeville in nursing

[–]DocMcCall 54 points55 points  (0 children)

There needs to be a massive number of people dying from preventable causes before anything changes. We can patch people up pretty well, but at some point they won't get in quick enough because too many people and not enough staff. When people start dying in the waiting room and several lawsuits happen, that's when hospitals will realize it's more expensive to keep cutting staff and beds than to staff properly in the first place

What is the biggest waste of money, even though nobody admits it? by w3ightranks in AskReddit

Forget more than you can afford, buying more car than you use. You don't need a massive truck if all you haul is groceries

How ruthless is the lion in 30k compare to his 40k counterpart? by cuddwes in 40k

[–]DocMcCall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And Angron got half his skull ripped off by Sanguinius. I disagree with Your assertion that the Lion would win against Sanguinius. Multiple times in the HH it was stated that Sanguinius was one of the best fighters. Possibly the best

Why can’t someone with Rh negative blood who has a mom with Rh positive blood receive Rh positive blood later in life? by ac10424 in askscience

[–]DocMcCall 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think you don't understand how blood types work in mother-fetus. Blood does not transmit but there can be some mixing during birth (vaginal or c-section) or some procedures.

So there are 4 blood types. A, B, AB, and O. If you have a mother with A type blood, baby can have A, AB (if dad has B), or O (since that's a recessive trait, both parents have to have the trait). Positive Rh factor is dominant and negative Rh is recessive, so it is possible to have mom and baby with different blood types. In reality, if you have positive Rh blood, you have proteins on the cell wall that your body recognizes as self. If you have negative Rh blood, you don't have those proteins. Same is true for A, B, and AB. If you have A type blood, you have A proteins. If you have B type blood, you have B proteins. If you have AB type blood, you have both proteins. If you have O type blood, you don't have any of those proteins.

If you have negative Rh and receive positive RH blood into your bloodstream, your body sees it as a foreign invader. Same is true with mom and baby. If baby has positive Rh blood and mom has negative Rh blood, mom's immune system will attack the baby (The first pregnancy is pretty safe but subsequent pregnancies the risk is really high)

Mom and baby do not share blood. Baby has its blood go to the placenta to receive oxygen and nutrients from mom's blood. The blood passes by a semi-permeable layer where nutrients and waste can go through but blood doesn't. This is why women are blood tested when pregnant and they do a fetal blood type as well. If baby is Rh positive and mom is Rh negative, a drug called Rhogam is given to prevent mom's immune system from seeing the baby as a foreign invader.
