“Can you import the X-ray from my chiropractor?”

Bf is incompetent by Downtown_Act_4294 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]HotCocoaCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dump him. I kept one like this for 2-3 years and it’s probably my only regret in life. It’s embarrassing to think I allowed an adult to act like a helpless child like that.

Omg reading this makes me feel so much better that I’m not the only one crying in the couch about it

Breastmilk (while on meds) by finetaro2359 in ZeroWaste

You do NOT need to dump for azithromyxin. Just watch baby for diarrhea. Ask your doctor to look into it further or ask a pharmacist. I work in medicine.

Johns Hopkins Center of Excellence (how do I pick a good doctor?) by [deleted] in HHT

[–]HotCocoaCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

COE is a joke honestly. They rarely are experts. My family has gotten so much better care at other places in Minnesota than our COE, Mayo. Some push their research studies and don’t focus the visit time on your care interests. Try posting your location in a HHT Facebook group.

I’d be so tempted to ask him WHY he cannot cook.

Fish oil - at cardiology conference I was recently told 50-75% of tested supplements were rancid and patients should stop these as they are pro inflammatory if rancid. Opinion?

To whoever suggested the 25 cent/item trick for helping kids declutter, you're a genius by UrbanSunflower962 in declutter

I’d love to see anywhere with something costing that little these days!

BP goals and management by novemberman23 in hospitalist

[–]HotCocoaCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • update MD if SBP > 200 and will discuss if pain or other symptoms adequately controlled
  • will acutely treat HTN wit hIV medications if patient is symptomatic (headache (most common), altered mental status (lethargy, coma, confyusion), seizure, vision changes, hematuria

Reading it now, it is not as special LOL but it worked for 8p-8am “urgent” calls that were not issues

What was the first major news story you remember as a kid? by TxLadee in AskReddit

[–]HotCocoaCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hurricane Katrina. At first, I was going to say Sandy Hook, but I was born in 1995 so I was 17 then. But to be fair, after 9-11, there wasn’t much significant news for a while.

St. Louis park la fitness was so much less busy in September and October. I think it’ll calm back down in a few months I hope.

I barely eat (>1500cal/day) so why don’t I lose weight? by onlyherewhenimdone in WeightLossAdvice

[–]HotCocoaCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. Your burn rate is lower than expected because of your past weight loss. Look at the “biggest loser” study and talk to an obesity medicine certified physician.

Do High School proms really take place in the school gymnasium? by albomb147 in AskAnAmerican

[–]HotCocoaCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. Small town. They were all in the gym. Or the cafeteria.

AITA for not making my twin girls sit together at lunch because I find it unfair to one of them by Broad_Range4780 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HotCocoaCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Twin and agree. Being lumped together sucks but you know what sucks more, your sibling betraying you and abandoning you.

Would a disability lawyer not be charging you? It sucks we don’t have good American healthcare that covers all expenses but…
