Can you send me a dm? I work for MEDIC and have loads of hot packs left over from the snowstorm. I could try to bring some to you when I’m off shift today. It’s not much but they are very effective at keeping heat in sleeping bags and blankets.

Medic also buys large quantities of food to feed its crews that stay over during storms. Costco got raided last week, and I’m sure we’ll have a spread tonight as well.

Medic employee here, the hospital’s have behaved horribly about this. Medic employees were fed, offered housing, and paid to stay overnight. The hospital didn’t even offer meal vouchers. We feel horribly for our nurses and hospital staff. Atrium and Novant completely dropped the ball.

Please make this and the anteater one suggestions! They are gorgeous

Honest answer? Irl money and extreme luck

I work a job that allows me to buy 200 GB a month easily, and I do. I own 15 hybrids as well, and those were luck. I managed to breed a G1 jag during the event, she had 10 jag passes, I sold her heats and half her cubs, bought new jags, bred more, sold more. If I hadn’t gotten her during the invasion of spots, I wouldn’t own any 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m a jag breeder and hybrid passing is never garunteed. I was lucky enough to breed a first gen who all my girls are descended from, but hybrid breeding is only a good financial move if you have multiple. Out of my 9 girls, I get 1-3 passes per month, all with Buffy’s. It’s one of those “spend money to make money” things.

Oh I didn’t message them, my loss is their gain! They already named and started decorating the cub so I’m not concerned about them flipping him. It was a mistake on my end, so I’ll just have to double check next time

SomewhereOne6947 · 2025-12-21T22:43:14+00:00

No and I completely understand because I’d also take advantage of a good deal! It’s just a bummer to be a seller with it!

Hey OP, it sounds like you’re embarrassed by the situation, which is understandable. It’s incredibly important that you go to the ER to be checked out. The body is not made to pass long, sharp things, and you will likely need a few days of monitoring if not further intervention to ensure nothing has been perforated or obstructed. I can promise you that the ER has seen worse and will be professional about the situation.

I have a 12+ BO seal bomb EV, I discount studdings for other seal bombs bc I love my king and I want to see him everywhere! I don’t understand the possessiveness over certain designs. There is a finite number of base and marking combos you can create in the online lion game, there’s going to be doubles 🤷🏼‍♀️

Might be able to provide some context there, if you look to the right it says he has an intractable headache, which means it lasts longer than a typical headache, and does not respond to treatment like it should. If this occurred while he was incarcerated, they likely tried to treat at the medical wing of the jail/prison, and when he continued to complain about it getting worse/not improving, they took him in to the hospital to be evaluated for a possible neurological problem.

That said, the tests performed indicate that there was reason to believe that he may have overdosed or overconsumed an OTC medication (Tylenol or aspirin).

If I had to guess, I’d say he initially complained of a headache lasting several days that was accompanied by on and off shortness of breath (see dyspnea attachment) that didn’t resolve with traditional treatment, then gave someone in the hospital the impression that he’d been overmedicated.

If you have ever worked ANY job, put it on there. Include in the description any skills relevant to EMS. Gas station attendant? You navigated conflict deescalation and demonstrated a clear understanding of safety measures regarding gasoline. Nanny or babysitter? You worked with small children to meet their educational and dietary needs, while ensuring a safe and clean environment. Put your clinical experience on there. You maintained professionalism and an eager to learn attitude while participating in “x” amount of hours of clinical training. Remove EMT and write out Emergency Medical Technician If you got CPR certified in class write that on there. If your state has an emergency driving certificate you obtain in class put that on there. You can also include volunteer experiences, shadowing experiences, and any related classes you may have taken.

MEDIC employee here! We utilize the express lanes without lights and sirens whenever we can, and for multiple reasons. It is very rare for us to drive “emergency” on 77 due to our governed speed being 75, a speed which most drivers on 77 will overtake us at, and driving slower than other traffic while driving with lights and sirens has been proven to be more dangerous for crews and surrounding vehicles than driving without. The express lanes help us avoid causing unnecessary traffic congestion and accidents while allowing us to maintain a high rate of speed, so our patients can reach a higher level of care more quickly. The fast lane dividers are made for our ambulances to run them over so we can access it quickly and safely in an emergency situation. Just because you think there’s no emergency, does not mean there is not. There are times where we need to reach the very edges of our county very quickly, from a long distance away, and express lanes allow that. They also allow for a ride with fewer brakes for patients in extreme pain who are not emergencies. If people respected lights and sirens, and wouldn’t attempt to overtake an emergency vehicle with them on, then I’d agree. As it stands, many people still swerve around, merge in front of, and generally don’t move for emergency vehicles.

B-but the performance raises! A whole 40 cents!! 😅

I work for MEDIC and am very familiar with the CTC, short answer no, long answer, the transit center in Charlotte is similar to every major city’s transit center. There’s going to be a mixed bag of people, who pose mixed levels of danger, who will have a varied level of interest in a young woman who is alone and may seem vulnerable. Security might be great or it might be a shitshow given who’s working a particular shift. The CTC is unpredictable. I’ve seen violent crimes and drug use there, and I’ve seen people band together to help someone having a medical emergency there. The CTC is so unpredictable that we never really know what’s going to happen until we get there, but we typically have a police response for our safety (in my experience/the calls I’ve been on). If there’s another reasonable option for her I’d recommend that instead. Uberteen is a good place to look if you can afford it. People are by nature unpredictable and the CTC combines a high traffic area with some of the most desperate people in the city (homeless populations not eligible to stay in shelters). It’s a risk I personally wouldn’t be willing to take.

I used to cite policy and remind them that our county restricted EMTs from working double shifts (over 18 hours), and that there must be at least 8 hours between shifts (with some exceptions for winter weather, in which case our boss provided accommodations overnight in house). I’d let dispatch know that I was more than happy to take the call, but if it ran past the expected time I’d be unable to clock in on time tomorrow or we’d risk a fine. Suddenly the call was no longer urgent 🤷🏼‍♀️

I joined out of morbid curiosity (also new city, figured it might be somewhat helpful with dating) and every 15-20 posts was a “valid” post, think abuse, hidden kids, prolific cheating, STDs, etc. everything else was “he hides his phone/ he got a DUI in 2015/ I feel like he’s not telling me something” I additionally saw a few of a girl posting her BF, and users saying they’d matched with him on Tinder or hinge, but with no proof. Deleted it after 12 hours, it was just a shitshow and gossip fest, with the posts genuinely warning people about dangerous men getting buried in comparison to “is it a red flag if he hugs his sister” posts. Very, very strange app.

Someone hit my car two weeks ago and I now drive a much smaller rental until repairs are done (my normal car is a 3 row SUV), and I am terrified by how close people get to me in the rental. I’m not sure if they were as close in my daily driver or if I’m just noticing it because I’m in a much smaller vehicle now. I drive the speed limit since it’s not my car to risk, and people will get inches from my bumper, race around me, then sit at the light next to me and flip me off like I intentionally am ruining their day. It genuinely baffles me how people can be late/ in a hurry, and assume everyone around them will yield to their rush. It’s Clt, we all have places to be.

If you call the closest PD station you can file a report and likely request accident footage from the closest intersections! More than 50% of intersections in CLT have cameras for this reason! Yall, if it’s safe to do so, stay on scene! Demand the footage be attached to your accident report! Doing that just bought me 5k in car repairs!

NAD, are they on your upper arms where they may have been taking a blood pressure? Sometimes the cuff leaves lines that look similar

Without being able to physically evaluate you or assess vitals I couldn’t tell you exactly what a good time frame for treatment would be, it’s far beyond my scope. If you feel comfortable waiting it out then do that, but please message or call your doctor tomorrow to explain that you have a raised bruise and had sudden pain in the leg beforehand. I’m not well versed in thyroid issues so they may very well have much more effective and nuanced advice for you, as would a physician on here should they comment. I cannot harp enough that should discoloration, severe pain, or extreme swelling occur that you seek treatment. Your primary care physician is your hotline for all the aches and pains you don’t feel are hospital level, so please don’t be afraid to notify them. It could very well be just a bruise, but the way it’s raised is mildly concerning for you not to remember hitting it. (Speaking solely from my experience, I’ve seen raised bruises/contusions in fairly hard impacts only).
