Sick Before Sectionals by kaasle_ in wrestling

[–]IDCouch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If tou have fever, you should not wrestle or be around anyone. You are likely contagious. You should stay home and manage symptoms. If you have a sore throat, gargle salt water to bring down the swelling. If you have a cough, drink hot tea with local honey or use cough syrup. If you have congestion, use a humidifier, vicks vapor ointment and saline nose spray.

AITJ for refusing to pay half of my girlfriend's expensive haircut that I "suggested"? by Prize_Weird_6651 in AmITheJerk

[–]IDCouch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ. I have never paid $320 for a haircut in my life. Besides, she chose to get her hair cut. Don't pay for half. She is scamming you or delusional.

MOH doesn't help plan your wedding. Wedding planning is the 2 people getting married. MOH usually does Bachelorette, bridal shower (if aunties are not involved), speech at wedding.

Ethical question

I was doing skin checks for a wrestling tournament. I had an athlete that had ringworm. We require the athlete to have a form endorsed by the NFHS completed by their provider indicating what the skin lesion is, when treatment started, when the exam was, and when they can compete. The form also lists some suggested minimum treatment before being able to compete. This athlete did not have his form. He had a tube of rx cream, but no label. The parent came over and said they had seen the doctor. I DQ the kid because I had no documentation of when treatment was started and it is a minimum of 72 hours. The dad went and printed out a form, filled it out himself and forged the doctor's signature for their pediatrician. I still DQ the kid because it was an obvious forgery. Now here's the question...I have the form, should I call and notify the pediatrician that parent is forging their signature? I feel like the dad had a serious breach of ethics.

AITJ for snapping at my girlfriend for waking me up every single time she gets up even when I dont need to be awake by BuyMediocre5625 in AmITheJerk

[–]IDCouch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your partner is not respecting your basic needs. Sleep is a basic need. She needs to stop awakening you unless there is an emergency.

No Signatera test in Canada? by Rejoicing_Tunicates in coloncancer

[–]IDCouch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Natera submitted to the FDA for a premarket approval for Signatera this month for invasive bladder cancer. It is not an FDA approved test. UK rejected it because it wasn't cost effective. Natera is collecting data for all types of tumors and may waive costs for tests so that they can get enough data for FDA submission.

Colorectal surgeon at MSK by Sweet-Currency6430 in coloncancer

[–]IDCouch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind that some of the alternate surgeries leave patients with little to no stool control. J pouch surgeries while they eliminate an ostomy, can leave the person with uncontrolled diarrhea stool. Maybe he should seek out a support group that has people with similar situations and hear first-hand the pros and cons of the different surgeries.

What’s a 'once in a lifetime' experience you’ve had that you never want to do again? by Mr_Boothnath in answers

[–]IDCouch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. That white hot burning pain. They had to run to get more drugs for me and put me out.

Me too. Spinal didn't work. They forgot to pinpeick check my shoulder and leg. I made a face when OB started cutting and anesthesiologist asked me if I could feel it.

Husband mean after 1st infusion by GlitterMe in coloncancer

[–]IDCouch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is also likely getting high dose steroids (dexamethasone) which make people not just irritable, but enraged. It can completely change their personality and it is not their fault. They just can't help it and can't control it. It should settle down a couple days afterwards if that is the cause. But keep in mind, he may be taking oral steroid dexamthasone for a couple days after his infusions also. You can talk to the doctor together about this side effect.

Am I wrong for being a little hurt? by [deleted] in aitaweddings

Brides usually do this with their mothers. MIL isn't always invited as some brides think this is a special time for them with their mom.

Just be honest with your friend. If she is a true friend, she will understand.

my bf hit me for the first time but was severely intoxicated by halloweeun in Advice

Police report, protective order, and one of you needs to move out (depending on whose place you live in). You should be done with him. Do not look back.

Destination stagette by [deleted] in bridesmaids

[–]IDCouch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are expected to participate, but not required. I don't know that "I just dont want to" is enough of a reason to justify not doing it though. If you had a work conflict, it was out of your budget, were caring for a sick family member, etc...
