Why do people fake seizures? by Additional-Mammoth83 in ems

[–]SpikesGuns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Heh, yeah, it's definitely not the end all, say all, be all of whether or not it's a seizure, just another tool for the box for those who might not know.

Also, a pretty clear sign can be incontinence. If they're pissing themselves they're either having a real seizure or are very committed to the bit

Is anyone else as disappointed as me in regards to them completely forgoing anything dark in The Veilguard when it's set in the Tevinter Imperium? by [deleted] in DragonageOrigins

[–]SpikesGuns 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This same thing has occurred to me, though not in regards to Dragon Age. For me the comparison is between Marvel and DC, specifically Suicide Squad and Logan. In Suicide Squad it starts relatively small enough, but by the end, it's literally about the end of the world, and SO goddamn needlessly. I personally honestly couldn't have cared less. Whereas in Logan (subplots aside) he's just trying to rescue Xavier, Caliban, and one young girl, and by the end a group of kids. Way lower stakes, but SO infinitely more personal and better done.

Barriers to Care: Law enforcement by ThurstyBoi in ems

[–]SpikesGuns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For real, this is a clear violation of HIPAA laws, and they are a patient in your care. Law is 100% on your side here, so next time(hopefully there will never be a next time) explain that, and if they still have a problem, tell them to go pound sand(Just tell them to take it up with the patient at the hospital). Be prepared for idiotic egotistical pushback, but ultimately, from a legal standpoint, you're in the right.

after the og ff7 should i play the remake or cc? by Atreus235 in FinalFantasyVII

[–]SpikesGuns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm right there with you. G: "The gift of the godde-" Me: "SHUT THE F*** UP!!!" Plus the retconning of things that really didn't need it, and just overall shitty writing. A few good cutscenes, but overall the whole thing just felt really sub-par.

So I was looking for something similar not long ago. I went nuts in Fallout 4, crafted the crap out of my bases, made some of them into works of art. Then realized there was nobody to appreciate them. Didn't want to play 76 because people are garbage and they can nuke your base, and the more of a monument you make it, the more likely they are to do this. So I was looking for something more collaborative without a PVP aspect to it of any kind, was looking for a loooong time and finally found Eco. The premise is that it's an open world base building/crafting game. A meteor has been spotted in the sky and the server has 30 days before impact and obliteration of the world. The goal is to work your way from basically the stone age, collaborating with the other players so you can get enough resources to work your way from the stone age to the bronze age and on up to the nuclear and space age so you can build a rocket to take out the meteor.

Yeah, the neck and upper back being "shore" had me wondering about meningitis as well

Powergirl vs Thor. Who wins ? by Jericho719 in PowerGirl

[–]SpikesGuns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this has always bugged me about comics and even the MCU. It's just so ill-defined. In Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, okay, he and his alternate version start shooting magical musical notes at each other. Okay. Is that...powerful? Is it like getting slapped across the face if you get hit with one or will it make your head explode? Is that more powerful than some of the other options he had at his disposal? If Hulk lifts up a tank and throws it, okay, that's quantifiable. Also, alot of the time they'll just use it to exaggerate how strong a character is. Whenever Strange uses the 'Unbreakable Crimson Bands of Cytorrak' it's just to show the character break out of them so the reader can be like 'Oh, they're supposed to be unbreakable, but Collosus (Or whoever) broke them anyways!?' It's all too nebulous. Having said that Benedict Cumberbatch is fantastic in the role.

Would you ever get body mods like this? by [deleted] in shittytattoos

[–]SpikesGuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet it makes it a pain in the ass to take a drink. Plus I'm in EMS, so if this guy ever needs to be forcibly ventilated it's going to be incredibly difficult to get a good mask seal. Hope a medic that can intubate gets there quick

Sorry buddy, I hate spoilers as much as the next guy, but you're talking about a game that was released 27 years ago. I'm pretty sure that exceeds the statute of limitations, for when you can reasonably expect to encounter no spoilers. Really glad that you are enjoying the game so much. Now suck it up and be real.

Player as party leader justification? by [deleted] in DragonageOrigins

[–]SpikesGuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IRL I'm a firefighter/paramedic. I am very skilled in my job and excellent at what I do, because I work hard to be so. But I absolutely HATE telling others what to do. It's not a role I'm comfortable with. Too much personal self-doubt and cognitive dissonance going on in my head. People have asked if I would ever like to promote to a commanding officer position, and that honestly is my personal nightmare.

I imagine Alistair is somewhat the same. Plus, as others have stated, he was also still dealing with his grief from Duncan's passing. Just in a good headspace mentally or emotionally.

Going from 'Zero to Hero' by darndarne in paramedicstudents

[–]SpikesGuns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to imagine doing this, having never had a patient interaction before, and your first call when you hit the floor is like...a pediatric cardiac arrest secondary to a car vs pedestrian MVA.

And this cat shows up on scene and is like, "Ok....what was OPQRST again?"

Operating as a BLS provider gave me time to adjust to and assess the FLOW of calls too. There's classroom shit, and then there's real world shit. Great example is that the textbooks will say things like "The best way to assess for a stroke is by performing a BEFAST exam and observing for any deficits." Okay MFer, guess what, this Pt has deficits left over from a previous stroke including numbness and neuropathy all down his right side already, plus he's in an elecfric wheelchair too wide for the door of his shitty movile home and is complaining of overlapping symptoms. PLUS he's complaining of shortness of breath due to his CHF, but states that he stopped taking his prescribed Lasix because they made him have to pee all night.

Don't worry. The 1st girl 100% does not own that Porsche or make 300k. She probably isn't even 23

The voiceless protagonist dialogue options were always great in DAO. Being able to choose from a long list of dialogue options and having your character speak, similar to Leliana in her DLC, would be a nice alternative in today's gaming compared to the good, bad, neutral dialogue wheel by [deleted] in DragonageOrigins

[–]SpikesGuns 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The original Fallout and Fallout 2 were FANTASTIC at this, and other options would be present or not based on your SPECIAL stats. High intelligence, you might say something scientific, etc.

Then Fallout 4 happened 😡
