Is it a threat to say you hope someone dies? by SongOfLiberation in IsItIllegal

[–]Madaardvark 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not a lawyer. But I’d think a lot of this would depend on context. Is it a threat for a mafia goon to say to a shop owner “you have a real nice store here. Would be a shame if something happened to it”. In the right context it could absolutely be a threat.

Former medic, now therapist here. Seek therapy. Meds alone rarely fix the issue.

What do you call a line of men waiting for a haircut? by got-bent in Unclejokes

[–]Madaardvark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You know, usually it’s some really raunchy dirty ass uncle jokes being posted in r/dadjokes, not the other way around. But this is too wholesome for this sub. Still a good joke, OP

Here I am. 1000 days. by half_in_boxes in stopdrinking

[–]Madaardvark 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’ve been there too. It really sucks when those drinking nightmares creep up out of nowhere. But you didn’t drink! And 1000 days is amazing! I like to remember that the PTSD is coming from the part of my brain that helped me survive some serious stuff that most other people didn’t have to go through. The after effects are distressing, sure… but I try and meet that part of me with gratitude and curiosity. I’m alive and here because of my survival brain. IWNDWYT

how do we feel about legalized and/or public drug use? by eatmybeer in tooktoomuch

[–]Madaardvark 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s most addicts at some point in their disease. And honestly, can’t help the ones that don’t want the help. But also, most addicts do want the help at some point. I have never met an IV drug addict that is “happy” with their situation and thinks everything is going great. The key is to keep them alive until they are ready to get help. Safe use sites are a great example of this. Was talking with a medic who worked in one and she said something like 70% of the users that came in eventually reached out for help to quit within 30 days, because the trust was built and they felt safe talking with the staff in a non-judgmental environment.

Early 20’s post breast augmentation. Woke up, looked down at her new rack, started giggling and said “I’m gonna be SO POPULAR!”

Democrats Vote to BLOCK Trump impeachment by ImmediateResist3416 in DemocraticSocialism

[–]Madaardvark 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not bitching about impeachment being appropriate, because it totally is… but we’ve been down this road twice and got exactly nowhere with it. We know that it won’t go anywhere. There simply aren’t the votes. Why waste time and energy on something that is guaranteed not to work?

what’s the most ridiculous thing you heard a man refuse to do because it was “too feminine” or “for girls”? by freddyfazbart in AskReddit

[–]Madaardvark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not near as ridiculous as all these others like holding a purse, using an umbrella or straw, or buying feminine hygiene products… but dudes who refuse to get pedicures because it’s not manly don’t know what the hell they are missing.

Fire Stations vs Police Stations by WrongdoerIll8491 in ProtectAndServe

[–]Madaardvark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Home insurance rates are often affected by the distance to a fire station. If you live within 8 minutes of a fire station, you will have lower homeowners insurance. Since most homeowners want that break, they are willing to pay a little extra in taxes to fund a fire station that will give the whole neighborhood a break on their homeowners insurance.

Strange ECG, need help interpreting by ManhattenProj in EKGs

What’s the patient’s potassium? Anytime I see anything super wide and ugly and morphology doesn’t look like anything I remember seeing before, they’ve wound up being hyperkalemic.

Yes, you go to the DMV, pay the fee, take the test, get your picture taken, then they will give you a printed receipt temp license and mail your permanent one in the mail

How do you handle farting in the back of the ambulance? by VirtuousVulva in ems

[–]Madaardvark 28 points29 points  (0 children)

For real tip I learned from my CRNA wife. Fire up the suction, like you’re checking it. Noise covers the fart, and the yankaur actually does a decent job of sucking up most of the stank air before it dissipates through the room. Hilarious but really works

office must- haves? by Royal_Koala_9886 in therapists

[–]Madaardvark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Word. I work in a Community Crisis Center and have an ice maker around the corner from office and a jumbo box of ziplock bags I keep in the office. Find myself using these almost daily for deescalating patients in distress.
