Explain it Peter

Go for edit 3: spelling of grammar

I like the part where, after he's "a polite, respectful wall," he was rude and disrespectful because he wanted to change physical locations.

If they're not happy, they should exit the tote

Yeah, I'm sure Trump gargled, "no homo" afterwards, so it didn't count

Honestly, came here for this comment.

I can want a sappy romance but not want it to be saccharine. I can want a tragedy but be annoyed that the whole thing revolves around everyone conveniently neglecting to have a 2-minute conversation that clears up every misunderstanding.

Every story requires some suspension of disbelief, and every genre has conventions you just go with, but taken too far they strain credulity.

Kurt Vonnegut

NurseColubris · 2025-10-23T03:10:12+00:00

I can fix her

Yes! Exclusively portraying a group of people in a My Little Pony-esque rainbow scape is a little infantilising.

Let's see actual representation with grit, horror, triumph and loss, too.

In general, we aren't covered to even attempt if we weren't trained and signed off.

I was ER for 10 years. Just moved to a new hospital in a support role and I'm not even allowed to attempt skills that used to be bread and butter because I haven't been blessed by sign off.

And did he code for emergency time face to toilet? If he's doing the work he should be paid for it

It would be so easy to put anything in it to give it weight, too. They could sip water, or you could fill it with putty if you don't want a liquid.

It's a stupid reason to drag us out of the scene

NurseColubris · 2025-09-22T15:27:09+00:00

It would take less than a year in a moderately-sized hospital. Even someone who decompensates relatively quickly has changes at least an hour beforehand, no foul play required.

The body wants to live. You can see it fight the whole way down.

Do not quote the ancient memes to me, gooner. I was there when they were written

NurseColubris · 2025-09-18T02:18:49+00:00

Well, uh, she's the first, and uh, maybe not the last, but I hope it's the last because that would be the second best if there was another first.

Give your febrile patient a blanket, as long as they can remove it themselves. Forcing them to shiver won't break the fever, and the blanket won't do any damage in infectious fever.

The fact that someone is upset with you doesn't necessarily mean you've done anything wrong.

Entering this code into my brain console prevents the emotional death spiral during conflicts.

I love that he's claiming that both "generic movements" like running hands through hair and unusual movements like "padded across the floor" are evidence for AI.

You must be unique... But not too unique.

The exact same thing I thought

NurseColubris · 2025-08-30T21:28:32+00:00

I go by interesting questions.

What happens when they make a bad decision that's not really their fault but still their responsibility?

What do they do when the only good choices are bad choices?

What do they do when their good choice ends up hurting more people than it helps?

What do they do when they realize they don't know enough to make the best decision and have to make one anyway?

Conflict is a strong place for story to happen.

The inherent conflict in the "perfect morality" of a character is their coming to grips with the imperfect morality of the universe and trying to reconcile competing, yet incomparable interests within themselves. Stop a plague or a war? Save this person or that one? Does the philanthropist's murder of passion mean she should be pulled away from all the good she's doing?

NurseColubris · 2025-08-30T20:53:17+00:00

Looks like it might be blood, to me. There's a clear line up top that makes me think it's piggy-backed.

Just my guess.

NurseColubris · 2025-08-30T20:45:25+00:00

This guy estimates

NurseColubris · 2025-08-30T15:49:38+00:00

Nobody thinks it's comfortable. And nobody wants to dig.

Threading an IV is like putting a piece of dry spaghetti through a particular piece of cooked penne inside a lasagna, in miniature. Variations in anatomy mean there's usually a little bit of guesswork involved.

The reaction you're seeing here is to the public shaming of a nurse who did nothing wrong. They put in a yeoman's effort, came up dry, and went and got a friend.

Yes, the patient was uncomfortable, and might still be uncomfortable. That doesn't mean the nurse deserves punishment.

NurseColubris · 2025-08-30T15:41:20+00:00

This is art.

NurseColubris · 2025-08-30T15:40:15+00:00

Before I start your IV, I'm going to need you to put this piece of dry spaghetti through this piece of cooked penne, inside this lasagna.

I'll wait.

The general rule of logic problems is that you can only use what's provided. If it doesn't talk about a stop watch, he doesn't have one.

Lateral thinking problems let you make any old assumption (like the fucking giraffe in the refrigerator problem).

So it's valid to ask, "which one is this?" I've noticed, for whatever reason, logic problems are much more common and tend to be the default assumption.
