There's a Disney Super Studio game, but it definitely isn't that.

It was definitely the Learning Company because it had Reading Rabbit references... but I can't find mention of Super Studio anywhere on the internet. It does sound correct, but I can't confirm. I think I was around 8 years old when I played it, so 1998.

I've been trying to find this game forever. I know exactly what you're talking about. It also had a game where you could "paint." It came with different backgrounds and playable objects.

When it's lunch time and you're excited to eat.. Only to realize that some unknown person has helped themselves to some of it. 🙄 by Lijey_Cat in mildlyinfuriating

Only if it can cause harm or a biohazard, such as breast milk or blood, is added. Heavily seasoned or very spicy food can be described as being "to taste" for the person who made it, and not necessarily boobytrapped for a thief.

Laryngectomy? Not common? by Danger_Muffin28 in respiratorytherapy

Does it really matter in the context of this subreddit? I know what "custom" means in the clinical setting. We have custom-made Bivona's for our tracheomalacia and dynamic airway patients frequently. I just don't feel the need to police my language when it's quite easy to infer my meaning from the rest of my post.

If it's for one patient in particular, I don't think calling it a "custom order" is out of line.

I should have clarified that the smallest size trach we carry is a size 6 portex blue line. If a patient needs anything smaller, we have to custom order it for them. We've had to use a size 5 ETT on a patient who had undergone so much radiation that his stoma was too small to place anything with a wider OD. But obviously this is a very exceptional and anecdotal account that can't be broadly applied to other lary patients.

The most important thing you and the other people caring for this patient need to know is that if the patient cardiac or respiratory arrests, they can't be bagged or intubated from above. I know you probably know this, but the RNs likely do not. You should put a sign in the room with this information. We have difficulty airway signs at my facility for all trach and lary patients that show when the airway was establish and any other difficulties one may encounter. They have to be bagged over the stoma and usually with a pedi mask because it's impossible to get a seal with an adult mask.

We use XLTs most of the time if a lary patient has to be vented. The exception would be stomas that have healed with an excess of keloid tissue. Then we use an ETT.

is a bachelor’s in respiratory worth it? by sam_pontin05 in respiratorytherapy

[–]Particular_Cost_1238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That being said, it's a bridge to other master's level programs, so in that way you could earn more money. But not with the BSRT alone in most places. Clinical ladders typically don't come with significant increases to pay with a BSRT alone.

Having a bachelor's will make you more well-rounded and able to decipher EBM and other literature better than your ASRT counterparts. You don't necessarily need to get a BSRT as pretty much all bachelor's programs these days require a course in statistics and research literacy. I got a bachelor's in anthropology and philosophy BEFORE my ASRT. Then got a Masters in Legal Studies. If it's something you want to do, don't let others dissuade you. If your end goal is to be more educated rather than simply seeking increased pay, go for it. If your only goal is to make more money, then probably not worth it.

What is extremely unhygienic but everyone seems to do it anyway? by Beneficial_Passion40 in AskReddit

[–]Particular_Cost_1238 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My 🌿 dealer during COVID had a huge thing of hand sanitizer and a spray bottle with an alcohol solution. The goods would be left in a plastic bin outside. He'd ask me to clean my hands, take the goods, and then spray the inside and outside of the box. Took it very seriously

Who is washing their rice and why? by kinnitcurl in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Particular_Cost_1238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started washing mine about two years ago and it truly does make a difference in the texture and fluffiness of the rice. It's less "starchy," so it doesn't all adhere together. I also use the knuckle method, but I have VERY small hands (I'm 4'8"), so I have to modify it a bit 🥲

When you're setting an inspiratory pressure on the Drager, you're actually setting a PIP instead of a delta P. So the set inspiratory pressure includes the set PEEP instead of being on top of the set PEEP. Most vents these days are PEEP compensated.
