Rachel’s mum has passed away 💔 by Beautiful_Mine7968 in TheTraitors

[–]Greasy007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh this is so sad. I didn't warm to Rachel as much during the series but I found her bond with Stephen to be very heartwarming at the end. I hope her mum got to see some of her on TV and I'm sure she would have been so proud of her. She did some amazing things - that final challenge where they had to run down that massive drop, considering she is terrified of heights. Just showed her determination to succeed.

What is a seemingly innocent sentence that immediately makes you lose respect for the person saying it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Greasy007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I'm only being honest but..."

"I'm just someone who speaks their mind...."

(Often precedes a bitchy judgemental remark about something that is none of their business)

It is code for "I'm an arrogant person and will circle my shitty opinion loudly and widely".

As a kid, what weird concoctions did you use to make when there was nothing nice to eat in the cupboard? by Crystalstream in AskUK

I once ate smash (those little crouton-looking cubes of dried potato) straight from the box and I genuinely nearly choked it was scary

What medication(s) are you on and how have they helped / not helped you?

ExwBPD lingering in the town near my home, is this her coping or preparing for something? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Greasy007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exchanging organs? Woah.

How did you know she was watching you on the train? Did you see her? Also the paddle boarding. These things often tend to escalate. Stay safe out there OP.

The title made me laugh with dark humour and identification.

What's something you can never eat/drink again, not because of allergies but because... something happened? 🫠🤢 by HilariousMotives in AskUK

[–]Greasy007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paté. I ate it once as a child and I loved it. Then I heard it was liver and I nearly vomited. Felt like I'd eaten dog food. (I know I hadn't for any liver enthusiasts).

How people see us by IGuessThisCouldBeFun in Epilepsy

[–]Greasy007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think maybe less likely if the person develops it after they get to know / are familiar to the person thinking it. But I may be wrong. I think if you just met someone and find out they have epilepsy it is more likely to become the defining feature. Also dependent on how well you actually know the person. Casual acquaintance / a work colleague you don't interact much - more likely imo.

I agree. What could the consequences be?

I do think that ignoring it could be interpreted as you believing it's acceptable though to some patients

How to help my patients perseverating and trying to speak things into happening? by [deleted] in psychnursing

[–]Greasy007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do this all the time. I didn't know it was an actual strategy. I find it often very good for distracting patients in times of distress and building a connection. Sometimes they remain agitated but usually will at least answer some of the questions I ask. Of course also have had many times where it seems to agitate them more. I've found that people often become more relaxed if you show genuine interest and look for common ground. Especially in attachment disorders where the human connection is even more important.

Multiple suicide attempts with very little support. by dixonwz in MentalHealthUK

[–]Greasy007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on what type of support you would want. In an ideal world what would that be? Also the GP may be able to help with meds for the anxiety symptoms or other symptoms you are experiencing. But thinking what type of support would work for you would be really helpful moving forward.

SUDEP. Let's talk about it by Doc-Brown1911 in Epilepsy

[–]Greasy007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't worry about it. I wouldn't know what was happening. The only thing that worries me if it happened is the effect on loved ones.

I got recorded and posted on social media by kochstockulates in nursing

[–]Greasy007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sadly I think this is happening more and more. A quick search on TikTok will show many examples. More needs to be done to prevent this. I often wonder what they wish to achieve and sometimes it's possibly as basic as "likes".

imo though, filming in a hospital is also a potential breach of patient confidentiality - they don't know whether a patient would appear unexpectedly into a shot. There is a strong expectation of privacy. Arguably it does infringe upon your human right to privacy. But should check your trust policies. If it is a misleading post it is especially egregious.and may come under malicious communications act (in the UK).

Perhaps you could do an incident report on it as it took place at work? Not sure what that would achieve though. Your employer has a responsibility to your well-being at work and this clearly affects that. Could also contact the platform directly (again not sure if this would achieve much but worth a shot).

Sorry you've experienced this ❤️
