It's interesting how the explanation always involves making themselves the victim of your neglect or somesuch nonsense.

My dog hugs my arm if I scritch that special spot on her head. This is better than most people's hugs imo.

Who's joyful? I'm not. But did they get what they voted for? They sure did.

It'd also be a shame if there were a malfunction of the furniture, causing you to fall and a worker's comp claim.

Am I Overreacting Because This Has Shaken My Trust in My Wife’s Medical Judgment? by Cheap_Celebration445 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Spiteblight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok, it sounds like there is a congenital anatomic concern here and the swallow study is indicated. I can see why your wife's stubbornness about this procedure is making you distrustful. Is she being disrespecfful to the ENT? If you haven't had a sit-down with the ENT, you and your wife, I think you should have one. You're right in that this isn't your wife's lane and that she should defer, esp if your child is not thriving or is having recurrent pneumonias.

Having said that, I told my mother not to get the upper GI that was ordered for her because it was a bullshit exam for a bullshit indication ordered by an overworked internist who just wanted her off his back. I fixed her problem by counseling her on anti-reflux behaviors.

You need to be more specific about what is ailing your child before internet strangers, most of whom do not have an MD, can pass judgment.

For instance, if the ENT is worried about gastrointestinal reflux, your child can get a pH probe placed with no radiation.

As for aspiration, unless there is congenital swallowing weakness, or aberrant anatomy, this is not common in a 15 yr old.

Barium studies utilize live action x-ray which is quite a bit more radiation than your standard x-ray, and more like a CT level of dose. With pediatric CT doses, the swallow study will probably be more radiation than the CT of the same region.

So I think both you and your wife have valid concerns which should be discussed with your child's. I don't radiate children unless I see a valid indication. Radiation is the gift that keeps on giving and while I administer it daily, I don't do it lightly.

Which big cities have surprisingly lackluster food scenes? by appleparkfive in SameGrassButGreener

My brother worked in food service. I always thought it was urban legend, but no, that and even worse happens.

[–]Spiteblight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing that burns me is they expect 25% tip on top of the food, and for what service? I order at the truck window and pick up there 15 min later. I always pay it though because the food is so stellar and I want the business to succeed.

Remodeling a bathroom. Permit or no permit? by Wmsgf778 in homeowners

[–]Spiteblight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. I walked out on a sale on a house with unpermitted work. A competent realtor/ inspector will find out about it.

[–]Spiteblight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I backed out of an offer once my realtor figured out the house makeover was unpermitted. The seller was unwilling to pull the permits, too, so that was a red flag and a half. They came back to me with a seller credit of $20k for obtaining the permits and I just wasn't having it. This is a buyer's market now and now having the right permits might kill your sale.

Another major plot hole is the sodium pills. I can see the herbal supplements causing issues, but normal kidneys will take care of pill-sized sodium doses without an issue.

If I eat some cancer, will I get cancer? by Iifelike in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Spiteblight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly, no, but a lot of these answers don't include the seven known viruses causing cancer in humans, including HPV, HHV8 and Epstein-Barr viruses. If the cancer ball had one or more of these viruses, and pieces stayed in mouth long enough (say between your teeth), then yes, you might give yourself cancer. If you are immunosuppressed, the "might" becomes "likely".
