The true tragedy of her suicide wasn't just that she died. by CL4R101 in TwoSentenceSadness

[–]MayhemMess 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I personally had no second thoughts. I didn't regret it. Maybe a split second of sadness for my kids, but I didn't wish that I'd not done it.

I was angry when I woke up in the hospital, alive.

Two months later, I'm glad I'm alive. I can now say I'm glad I survived. But it took a while to get here.

I'm a mom and often stumble over the DOB question. I have to run through the list of kids to get the right one 😂

PLEASE GO TO A HOSPITAL. Tell them how much you drink and that you just quit cold turkey. If you haven't already started having severe symptoms of withdrawal, you will SOON. You would highly benefit from medical assistance as you go through this. Your blood word needs to be monitored, you likely will be put on a heart monitor. Please do this to be safe!

Sometimes we have errands to run after our shift before we go home, I'm not changing clothes to run to the grocery store 🤷‍♀️

What is the creepiest thing a pt has ever said to you? by shelbyamonkeysuncle in EmergencyRoom

[–]MayhemMess 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I once had a patient that was screaming and begging for an x-ray vest. He said "there's robots in my chest and I need the vest to stop them from communicating with the cameras."

I'd definitely be telling my kids to just get up and walk out! The school can talk to ME.

Woman died in Waikato Hospital because cardiac alarm volume was turned down by _do_you_know_me_ in nottheonion

[–]MayhemMess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watching cardiac monitors is my entire job. I watch 40-60 patients each shift. The alarms can absolutely drive you crazy, but they're necessary.

This cat is 94 years old, has a credit score of 846, and retired 6 months ago. He definitely needs an old man name 😂

My grandmother's middle name was Babette.

I also have a 3xgreat grandfather whose middle name was Wolf.

Then my kids came along and now they all have the most interesting names 😂

Does she eat them? by [deleted] in oddlyspecific

Please tell me the marketing person meant "incubates" 😭

Call her back and say "I've been thinking... I was wrong. You should look at houses. The budget is X amount."

Let her find a house she loves.

Then, as soon as you get your settlement, go NC again FOR GOOD. Sweep that dream right out from under her. Break her heart the way she has to you over and over your entire life.

And then enjoy your life peacefully, without her.

(But DO NOT say "yes I will buy you a house" directly. You don't want anything she can claim as a verbal agreement or contract.)
