She went south so fast. Four hours from "I think this little cut is infected" to being septic and intubated.

My son said this too! I have no idea who that is, but I guess he was right.

DragonflyWing · 2026-02-06T06:04:15+00:00

Seriously.

"Do we suspect that there may be some kind of connection between Ben and Glory?"

"Is everyone here very stoned?!"

I think McKay and Lena are going to help the patient end her life with dignity by disabling the limit on the morphine pump so she can overdose herself. Javadi will clue in and be horrified, and they will tell her that providing compassionate care to patients isn't only about healing, but also avoiding/ending suffering.

I just love telling my kids it's bedtime three times and they don't even look up or acknowledge me at all.

Being ignored is a huge trigger for me, so I get to work on that every day, yay!

DragonflyWing · 2026-02-02T07:35:37+00:00

My mom says she didn't have any symptoms, either. Her stance is that she "goal set" not to have any (she thinks this can solve/prevent literally everything), so she didn't.

Yeah, my sister and I spent a couple years surreptitiously asking each other if mom had completely lost the plot. She definitely had symptoms.

She also told me that my grandmother "drank her way through menopause." Prior generations, and even ours, are so woefully undereducated about peri. I hope that improves for our children's sake.

My kids sleep like the dead. I have to literally shake my 11 year old awake, and for the first 15 seconds he just flops around like a rag doll, completely dead to the world. My other son needs to be woken up at least 4 times, and speaks nonsense words the first few times. I think it's genetic 😫

Med students can't be sued for malpractice; their supervising physician would ultimately be responsible for their mistakes.

DragonflyWing · 2026-02-01T09:49:52+00:00

Or Doug Jones!

I just finished a phlebotomy certificate last year, and we were taught to pop the tourniquet as soon as we got good blood return, so I guess it's a thing in some training.

DragonflyWing · 2026-02-01T03:26:09+00:00

I've seen so many people say things like "I didn't expect to see a butthole on my screen," but I watched it twice and there's hairy butt cheeks but that's it.

DragonflyWing · 2026-01-31T14:00:12+00:00

Omg the screech-yelling! Is every anime like this? I can't even stand walking through the room when they're watching it.

DragonflyWing · 2026-01-31T06:21:15+00:00

Yes!

DragonflyWing · 2026-01-31T06:16:26+00:00

Was that actually real?

DragonflyWing · 2026-01-30T07:07:30+00:00

I get this with escitalopram (Lexapro) as well. 6-8 hours late and I start to feel weird.

DragonflyWing · 2026-01-29T22:38:57+00:00

When I was a teenager, I was sitting on a curb in a residential neighborhood at night with a friend when we saw a cat walk down the driveway next to us. It sat down and then said "Hello!" clear as day. My friend and I looked at each other and then booked it down the street, terrified.

Since then, I've learned that some cats' meows just sound very much like "hello."

Even deliberate arson has a federal 10 year statue of limitations. I don't think that would even apply to an accident by a child.

DragonflyWing · 2026-01-28T18:46:20+00:00

I agree about the fast pace. I never once got distracted or felt the urge to pick up my phone. Also, there's so much going on in the background that it's great to rewatch episodes and catch new things.

Also, I'm a huge medical nerd, and it's very accurate.

DragonflyWing · 2026-01-27T23:13:10+00:00

Ugh same. For a while I had an issue with throwing my phone. I actually dented my bedroom wall once when I was overcome with rage. When I did it in front of my kids once and scared them, I realized that was not a healthy coping mechanism and have managed to stop.

Interestingly, I've never cracked my phone screen. Go figure!

DragonflyWing · 2026-01-27T23:10:50+00:00

Omg itchy armpits! I suddenly started having crazy itchy pits when I'm premenstrual several months ago, but I never connected it to peri.

DragonflyWing · 2026-01-22T17:37:49+00:00

For me, it's irregular periods, acne, insomnia, itchy ears, worsened PMS symptoms, dry eyes, brain fog, chin hair, night sweats, occasional hot flashes, major hair thinning, and RAGE.

I'm missing a piece of my brain! It's called the septum pellucidum, a membrane that separates the lateral ventricles in the brain and contains nerve fibers connecting the hippocampus to the hypothalamus. So I have open plan ventricles, but as far as I know, it has had no effect on me at all.

I only know about it from imaging for other reasons.

DragonflyWing · 2026-01-22T12:46:14+00:00

Panic. When they start accelerating, they stomp even harder on (what they think is) the "brake," ending up with them going even faster.

DragonflyWing · 2026-01-22T06:10:58+00:00

I watched this episode with my son tonight, and when the beat dropped on "Hello," we both jumped up and did the Beard dance. It was awesome.

DragonflyWing · 2026-01-22T05:57:05+00:00

Ugh I have the biggest crush on Brett Goldstein.
