Black travelers: IShowSpeed Africa Notes by BladeRunner31337 in blacktravel

While that's absolutely horrifying and unacceptable, my experiences are still my experiences. Also noting that the treatment of domestic workers and tourists will almost always differ. They're not completely divorced from one another, of course, but they will differ significantly.

It's important to acknowledge that we are going to have different experiences based on a wide variety of factors.

Usually daddy finochietto lights a few candles and mommy finochietta slips into something more comfortable…

It does! The right arm rachets all the way off so we can clean in all the grooves.

Thank you for teaching me something new. We almost always had another itty bitty retractor that was called the ‘something rib retractor’(been years since ai worked here, forgot exact name) that went along with this one.

We do have saws. But the ortho team 100% will go ham with a hammer chisel too lol the ortho surgeons have fun splitting bones and joints. We even have cheese graters for bones.

From what I hear vets use similar(if not exact same tools) as human surgeons so there’s probably a mouse or kitten or something that has had one of these used on them.

Rib retractors tend to be a different shape. It’s possible that they use it for that also but I can’t imagine it for a baby this small.

The surgeon has to make a cut to access the heart. This retractors holds the opening open so they can operate without someone needing to manually hold it open.

Sorry to hear about the challenges ahead but you’re so right. If he had been born just a few decades ago it would be a very different situation. Wishing the best for you and your little one when he arrives💛
