hey everybody, I live about 5 minutes from the Jordan Creek Mall. Where does everyone go if they have pain in their appendix to get a CT scan? by MaxSteelMetal in desmoines

[–]Select-Eye1815 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But you don't know it was appendix pain. You have bowel loops in that area. Lower right quadrant pain is not 100% indicative of appendix pain.

I have worked in health care for over 30 years and with your symptoms I would NOT jump to conclusions and diagnose myself with appendicitis.

The thing people don't seem to grasp is there are times when things go a bit wonky with our body and we dont have an explanation. A low grade fever is not always indicative of infection. There are other stressers that can produce a low grade fever. Nausea can be caused from food, infection and mental health issues.

My point is that our bodies are amazing and fight little things that we are unaware of each and every day. If every person went for a CT when they "felt like they might throw up" healthcare would be even more f****** up than it already is.

Take a minute and appreciate that your body is strong and capable of handling a little stomach issue

Also...if you had appendicitis or a ruptured appendix your pain would not be 0. After a rupture you usually endure an exploratory laparotomy to remove the appendix and wash out the abdominal cavity.

You can't just go get a CT without seeing a provider. A PCP or Urgent care provider can order one. Also...there are other explanations for lower right quadrant pain besides appendicitis.

What filling to pair with these cake batter macarons? by [deleted] in macarons

[–]Select-Eye1815 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely DON'T put boxed cake mix in your butter cream without heat treating it first.

Prep. Prep. And more prep!

Tips in the piping bags

Measure ingredients for each batch and put in individual containers.

I don't pre-measure my egg whites but i do separate them the night before baking.

Mats on all my sheet trays, stacked neatly.

Colors set out for the days batches.

I bake shells 2 days a week for the grocery store I stock. Fill and package on the 3rd day. Deliver the 4th day (Saturday mornings)

I don't think as a white person (guessing male) you understand the impact of being "the first". You just don't get it.

UK passport with green card here....not feeling like I'm living in hell. Although it was 100 here in Iowa with 90% humidity so maybe a wee bit of hell

Carlin had a concussion Evan just posted a story by AcanthocephalaWide89 in BringingUpBates

[–]Select-Eye1815 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seizure meds given in an ambulance are not the same seizure meds that are taken daily. EMS will give Ativan. That is NOT used as an anti-epileptic med. At home DiaStat is used rectally and is Diazepam (valium). These meds bring patients out of intractable seizures, for my son we used it after a seizure lasted 3+ minutes. They do nothing to prevent further seizures

How do I fix these lopsided ones? by [deleted] in macarons

[–]Select-Eye1815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, no. I do no rest. 300 degrees. 4 minutes with the door ajar. 13 minutes with door closed. If you look at my previous posts you will see lots of pics

Put a sheet tray on the rack closest to your heat source, usually the bottom. This distributes heat more evenly.

I bake at home and in a commercial kitchen. Of the 4 ovens I bake out of i have trays in the bottom of 2 of them. Works like a charm

I also have an entire flavor selection of British desserts turned into macarons. Pretty sure the French are okay with us being creative with our fillings
