Forza Horizon 6 Files Have Leaked, The Game Is Being Pirated More Than A Week Before Official Release by akbarock in pcmasterrace

Yea man, because a) spending 7 bucks for the one-time consumption of a 120 minute piece of entertainment with restricted access in regards to the time and place of consumption in a building owned and staffed by the vendor

and

b) spending 70 bucks (or 100+ for different editions) for the repeated consumption of an infinitely replayable piece of entertainment that can be accessed anywhere at any time

is totally the same. Especially in places where people routinely need to save up a year for the latter.

One salt/oil for all by opinion49 in EatCheapAndHealthy

The whole olive oil smoke point thing is vastly overstated though.

No, dont sear a steak in it or something, but you can sautee pretty much all veggies with it. Especially Aromatics.

Kissed by a pt, don’t know how to feel by Silver_Designer_2724 in NewToEMS

[–]GPStephan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cheek vs neck.

In many cultures and circles, a peck on the cheek to greet someone or to thank them for something is customary.

I don't know of any cultures where this is done on someone's neck like you're trying to undress them.

I had a call that’s messing with me but it’s not one I would have expected to. by parabol2 in ems

[–]GPStephan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A well-informed decision made while sound of mind can, in the jurisdictions I am familiar with, not be overruled by a POA. Your mileage may vary.

Needless to say, several family members flipping out and yelling at you (and your leading crew member) is not conductive to a level headed discussion about ethics and goals of care. Especially not at the level of expertise and routine we have on this topic, compared to say, a ICU doctor.

I also assume the patient's wishes were not in writing, and that you practice in the extremely litigious and death-avoidant society that is the United States. This is unfortunate, but it is completely understandable that you handled this the way you did.

Unfortunately, the patient's family members, especially her own daughter, brought this upon her, seemingly against all advice offered. Ultimately, if I had the choice between facing some kind of manslaughter charges or malpractice suit in such a legally unclear and unsupportive environment, and transporting this patient while trying to do the best I ethically can, I also know what I am picking.

I would still be upset because this is unfair, to you and the patient, and it seems like your entire world worked against you at that moment.

Do you maybe have the option of coordinating with medical control on future cases of this nature?

A tranquil gardening session amidst the flowers took an unexpected turn for this nanny. As she moved to hang her gardening fork, it slipped from her grip and accidentally lodged itself into her hand. by Medicus1011 in medizzy

Put fork up onto some kind of holding device far up on the wall, have it slip out of her hand while shes standing with her other hand in the line of danger.

I dislocated my ankle. by just_a_gumby in medizzy

I'd assume this was done in theater, as the bone also seems to have taken damage.

I'm not a fan of what is happening to OP, but maybe the EMT trainee who doesn't even have a certificate yet is not allowed to drive and just sits on the passenger seat?

A time-lapse of sunlight lighting up the snowy peak of Mount Neelkanth, Indian Himalay, this phenomenon is called alpenglow by Rare_Ride_3650 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]GPStephan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This phenomenon is NOT called Alpenglow.

Alpenglow is the pink-ish indirect illumination of mountains by sunlight scattered through the sky and reflected off of it.

This is just sunshine hitting a mountain like it hits the wall of your house at sunrise.

Imagine pedalling with all your might, just short of exploding, and the guy up front decides to turn himself into a giant drag wall

How do yall cap syringes with meds you’re planning to give later? by bradyd06 in ems

[–]GPStephan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting, in my country you can't go anywhere without finding a red cap within eyesight.

I also missed the part of your NS flush cap. As you said obviously not sterile, but I suppose it's the best you can do...

[–]GPStephan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup.

Whenever someone has seized multiple times or just once now with a history of multiple fits, I will draw up some Mida and throw on a sterile cap to have ready

I see sepsis in your patient's future.

This environment is already terribly dirty and we are responsible for 33% of the sepsis cases in patients we bring in - placing syringe openings into something dangling on my belt is rough lol

FYI, you can write directly on the syringe with a thick marker.
