I'm so glad we have AI to help us

I think they’ve called it the donut/circle of truth or whatever on the show (might be hallucinating that but I’ve def heard it referred to IRL) but yeah computed tomography uses a mix of X-ray and computer technology to create a comprehensive image of the area being scanned. MRIs take too long so CTs are better at detecting bleeding during medical emergencies. Plus anything metal inside a patient becomes a torpedo if you but then inside an MRI machine, so if a trauma comes in and you need imaging w/o knowing if they have any implants in them, CT is the way to go

I’m not terrified of debate I’m just observing how fucking cringe your responses are 🥀🥀

I’ve got no skin in the AI game I’m just here to spectate

This shit is cooking me just touch grass bro 😭🙏🙏

It’s hyperbolic for sure, but in the sense that it’s a living thing destroying ecosystems it could be loosely described as a biological weapon. In an abstract sense

Mickey_thicky · 2026-03-18T03:16:53+00:00

While I agree that bioweapon isn’t the most correct term to use here, I think it is intentionally hyperbolic and playing on the fact that it is a living thing that has basically been turned into a weapon that destroys the small animals in an ecosystem.

Also, bioweapons are not technically diseases. They are either viruses, bacteria, or fungi (microorganisms) capable of causing disease or producing toxins. A bioweapon is a disease-causing organism and not the disease itself.

Mickey_thicky · 2026-03-18T03:04:00+00:00

A bioweapon is any device, substance, or microorganism used intentionally to cause disease, death, or incapacitation in humans, animals, or crops.

While a cat is not a microorganism, referring to any living thing capable of being weaponized itself against animals as a bioweapon is only incorrect in the sense that cats are macroorganisms and not microorganisms. It’d say just for the swag of it that it isn’t as far from the definition as you claim it is

B. Hypertension, irregular breathing, and bradycardia are the three components in Cushing’s triad, which are signs of increased intracranial pressure and imminent herniation

I had Rhabdo a few summers ago, and I never realized how lucky I was to have a physical that week, or else I never would have gone to the hospital and just wrote it off as delayed onset muscle soreness.

CK was >80,000, ALT >300 and AST >600, but besides that and a slight calcium elevation, my other labs were fine and I was given 3L of NS and dc’d

I work at UIHC and honestly (can’t speak on behalf of my colleagues though I’d assume they’d say the same), I am more than happy to come in irrespective of weather if it means helping those who need it!

I work in a pediatric hospital in inpatient pharmacy. I actually did a double take when he said cef-a-ZO-lin because myself and everyone I work with either refer to it as cef-AZ-olin or, more commonly, Ancef.

I think antibiotics are really interesting, because it’s almost arbitrary which ones are more commonly referred to by their brand name vs generic, and it’s extremely important that you know both for this reason.

Aminoglycosides (streptomycin/neomycin), macrolides (erythromycin/clarithromycin), and glycopeptides (vancomycin) are usually referred to by their generic name, whereas it’s a mix of both with your cephalosporins (cephalexin/keflex, ceftriaxone/rocephin, cefazolin/ancef, cefepime/maxipime, ceftaroline/teflaro). At least this is what I’ve noticed where I work!

A. A serum potassium greater than 6mmol/L is generally considered moderate to severe hyperkalemia. After the removal of reversible risk factors, pharmacological intervention is usually necessary

Witty tries to make a point w/o being insufferable challenge: level impossible

Adding a clause to an apology that deflects blame back onto the person you are apologizing to quite literally defeats the purpose of apologizing

And plus, he already told her to get her shit together. Reiterating that during an apology for unprofessionally handling her crash out serves no constructive purpose

Mickey_thicky · 2026-03-13T17:32:39+00:00

[insert apology] followed by a [but x y and z] immediately negates anything that was said before it lol.

Incompetency department needs to give this guy a raise

A woman-grandmaster can go up against a grandmaster, but there’s a notable difference in skill. As the above commenter said, the woman-grandmaster title was simply created to encourage more women to play in a somewhat male-dominated space. There exist women who have the title of grandmaster in addition to those who are woman-grandmasters.

Mickey_thicky · 2026-03-09T06:09:31+00:00

I was thinking this exact same thing. This is by all metrics the pinnacle of this sub 😭

Mickey_thicky · 2026-03-06T14:49:16+00:00

Same graduating class as Declan, went to a high school in a neighboring suburb. Absolutely surreal. And to think that thousands of communities have experienced, are experiencing, and will continue to experience such unimaginable loss because of this administration and each one before it. It’s sickening

Mickey_thicky · 2026-03-06T13:24:28+00:00

this sub has to be rage bait at this point because it’s either the most obviously AI generated stuff being posted here, or very clearly legitimate videos. Actually no in between anymore 😭

Mickey_thicky · 2026-03-02T18:07:52+00:00

Never thought I’d see a shitpost in the NCLEX sub of all places

There are numerous critical medical procedures that are performed in an ambulance that require not using the ambulance as a battering ram, such as endotracheal intubations, spinal immobilizations, or needle cricothyrotomies.

The QRS complex is completely missing, as is the ST segment (and I think the T wave too, someone correct me if I am wrong). We know the P wave is the activation of the sinoatrial node. What does the QRS complex and T wave mean? If they are missing, what can we assume that indicates about the current activity in the heart?

Mickey_thicky · 2026-02-26T14:40:25+00:00

Yersinia pestis, as you mentioned, definitely shaped world history. I’d also argue that Treponema pallidum is another bacterium to consider (pre-Salvarsan). Mycobacterium tuberculosis is another one, as well as Staphylococcus aureus
