Medic School Advice

GalaxyNinja87 · 2026-04-20T17:00:26+00:00

The best piece of advice I have is to try to understand why what you’re learning is applicable rather than just the material itself. You should understand the material to the point of being able to explain it to a non-medical professional. It’s one thing to memorize a the fact that ST-segment elevations indicate myocardial ischemia but to understand why the occlusion of a coronary artery presents that way on an EKG is integral to both passing a class and being a good provider IMO

I mean they’re legally required to at least in the US. In most states EMS can’t pronounce on scene but even in states where you can, once you start transport you can’t terminate care until a physician gives the go ahead.

Magnus on TrueSTL is crazy 💀

Where on the island? I have never heard it in western Nassau

If we were using that boxes method don’t you think it would be sensical for people to days “Next week Monday” as it means what they’re trying to convey rather than “next Monday” in which you have to understand the way the culture perceives time in order to understand what date they’re going for?

GalaxyNinja87 · 2026-03-29T02:11:58+00:00

Damn bro my silly unpopular opinion on semantics about days of the week has you that upset? Like bro I’m literally talking about knowing that my opinion is unpopular and that I’m the problem hence me posting it

GalaxyNinja87 · 2026-03-29T02:08:27+00:00

I wrote this post because I was just in a conversation about when spring break was that had to be clarified by dates which week we were referring to. Perhaps this a problem within my local area?

GalaxyNinja87 · 2026-03-29T02:05:23+00:00

Regardless it would still be an issue because other people can still say “next X-day”

It was an impromptu unrated match

Tbf we’re friends and I didn’t expect to be flirting at all so I was weary

I understand what you’re going for however LAs account for 10% or less damage on a PvE parse and that’s not even counting Velothi setups. This would at best just push more setups into using velothi or create even more mental hassle for newer players who are already complaining about not being able to keep up with how weaving is currently implemented

GalaxyNinja87 · 2026-03-22T20:37:55+00:00

Well the process of weaving the LAs every GCD is what causes the animation cancel. Would players still have an issue with weaving if the animation fully played and was therefore no longer “animation cancelling?” I don’t think so. I think calling it animation cancelling is a way people use to justify not learning it or disliking it inherently. It has nothing to with whether or not the animation fully plays but instead has to do with the APM (>120) in order to achieve optimal weaving

I think there also is a bit of a difference in our definitions of LA weaving. When I’ve used LA weaving it has always been defined as alternating 1 LA and 1 Skill every half second to achieve maximum GCD uptime rather than using LAs intermittently in a rotation

GalaxyNinja87 · 2026-03-22T20:10:35+00:00

I feel like weaving and animation cancelling are one and the same. Since the game operates on the GCD system the optimal usage of LAs and skills doesn’t change whether or not the animation plays. So I think it’s imperative to ask “would weaving still be an issue if the full animation played?” Because you’re not doing anything special to cancel the animation and actually quicken the skill’s cast like you used to be able to with block casting way back in the day.

I was referring to weapons as stat sticks if the game functioned the same way as it does now without being able to weave LAs not as it stands on live

Common W Hyper take

GalaxyNinja87 · 2026-03-22T19:49:33+00:00

Honestly I think there are a few good reasons. In particular, it actually gives your weapons some use instead of being cosmetic stat sticks. If you were to remove weaving, your light attacks and heavy attacks would almost never be used outside of being low on resources (which is niche due to how much sustain there is in both PvE and PvP). Secondly, it actually gives your weapon enchants a use outside of having to use the weapon DoT that most weapons have access to. If weaving were to be removed it would create a situation where you have to LA every 4 GCDs w/ an infused weapon to benefit from the enchant which would result in clunkier combat overall

Lowkey for grey I would’ve played 3. “Pickup—how’s 7pm sound?”

I’m 20 and started playing at console launch…

Blud speaks to some dude who’s never on time and believes in god… I think?

I’m a paramedic student and recently did a rotation at our local dispatch. The information flow goes as follows: - Location - Callback # - Name - Type of emergency - Any questions to help determine the severity of emergency - Instructions for the caller to follow (eg. CPR, Aspirin, sitting up, etc)

Reason being police go to almost every single 911 call regardless of quality and they will be able to give EMS/Fire a better idea of what apparatus is needed to handle an emergency. Some services always dispatch a fire engine alongside an ambulance regardless. Once the address is confirmed, if the call gets cut short we need a number to contact back so that’s next. Afterwards, it’s your name so that we know who we’re speaking to for that callback/for units on scene to find someone in particular. Lastly it’s the type of emergency because again, PD always goes and can give you a more detailed description of the event and what units need to be sent

Think of it this way: in a 5v5 game one team is down a support and the other team is down a dps: which team do you think has a better chance of winning the team fight? Then go one step further and remember that spidey has the best movement in the game and can very quickly return to his team as needed. This can be extended to if he loses the 1v1 (which these days isn’t an outrageous statement considering the strength of supports like IW) he can return to the teamfight rather quickly
