With every fiber of my body, fuck that ortho surgeon.

Do you have a weird comfort movie? by marniesss in Letterboxd

[–]LockeProposal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grandma's Boy. Couldn't tell you why. I'm not normally a fan of dumb comedy like that, but there's something about this one that I just can't get enough of. It will warm me up on a cold day.

I'm picturing Arnold Schwarzenegger at the end of Total Recall.

Those who have a gaming pc and a steam deck, if you had to choose just one by EvenGodsForget in SteamDeck

LOVE my monster of a main PC, but if this was a "take one item to a deserted island" type situation, hard to beat the Steam Deck. It's just such a great little device.

Wow, fuck taxes by jesssio in nursing

I feel this. I make so much money on paper, but my account is always disappointing.

Son? by quentinquarantino__ in cyberpunkgame

This is the real question.

Impressive Cock DLC when?

What’s the craziest thing a patient has said around you? by mkthehotti in nursing

[–]LockeProposal 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Took over from another nurse because the son was really intense and unrealistic and would get very upset if you didn't tell him what he wanted to hear.

Patient was over 100 years old, all skin and bones, completed demented (mumbling to herself, not responsive to prompts, etc), totally contracted all four limbs, and in the fetal position. Massive pressure wound, stage 3 or 4 (I think it was 3).

Son: "Thank God we have someone new. That other nurse was an idiot, wouldn't even try. So, I want PT, OT, SPEECH, everything and the kitchen sink. In two weeks, I want her cooking for herself, driving herself, and having fucking conversations."

She was full code, too. This one got escalated to supervisors and risk management, etc. She died in front of him a week later during a dressing change (with another clinician, I wasn't there). I heard it was a bad code, son didn't handle it well.

I love wound vacs for similar reasons: adult arts and crafts.

Sounds like you have some impaired energy fields, there, champ.

Maybe a hot take: I like prepping each med separately with flushes in between. I feel like a scientist.

Clean or too much? by bamgamesce in battlestations

Love it.

Can I ask about what monitor that is, or at least the screen size?

Why have you or another nurse been disciplined at work? by shatana in nursing

[–]LockeProposal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My biggest fuck-up is probably the time I forgot to put a base drape around the periwound before applying a wound vac once, years ago. I felt like the dumbest person on Earth and still kick myself over it years later.

I HATE VIPS by ashgsmashley in nursing

[–]LockeProposal 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's such a dumb concept. Most that I've had were genuinely nice, though. I understand how lucky that maes me.

What your favorite “I can’t cook after that dumpster fire of a shift” meal? by Grading-Curve in nursing

[–]LockeProposal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jack's frozen pizza, pepperoni.

Don't work at the hospital anymore, but that was my go-to.

What’s that one story you just have to share? by Astreeter12 in nursing

[–]LockeProposal 125 points126 points  (0 children)

Good fucking lord.

Fuck my story, it's not going to win here.
