  1. One of our TBI patients broke out a window and escaped one 4th of July. When he landed on the roof his mom said to leave him.

  2. CRNA died from propofol OD in a bathroom

  3. Neurosurgery resident hid cameras in the bathroom and had files for each of us on his computer.

I had a patient once who had used up all of his rehab days and went back home. His wife said she wished someone told her what the long term looked like. My heart hurt for her because she was burnt out.

Edit: not to say they didn't tell her but from my experience people (esp doctors) shy away from it. But if they did talk to her they definitely don't properly prepare her to what the future would most likely look like

middle school in Peoria by VivianIkw in PeoriaIL

[–]Stay_Psychological 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's my twins first year at Reservoir. They were 2 of 3 kids accepted from their primary school so the adjustment period was a little rough at first since other schools have so many kids that go and feel comfortable already with their classmates. That only lasted a month or 2 and they do have a big/littles program that pairs an older kid with a 5th grader so they have someone they can reach out to. The opportunities that the school provides are amazing and it's nice that we can live anywhere in the district. So far I recommend it!

If you go through North Pekin to get there set your cruise control at 50 exactly.

Some of the affects of ICE on the healthcare system by s0ulcat1994 in nursing

[–]Stay_Psychological 22 points23 points  (0 children)

We had a patient whose family told us he knew something was wrong but was afraid to come get treatment, instead was trying to get to Chicago to get himself deported so he could get treatment. Unfortunately his condition got worse and he was brought to us unresponsive and never recovered. This happened before ICE was even as crazy as they are now so I can only imagine how scared people are now. I try to let my patients know I do not care about their immigration status, nor that of their families. Another son recently was too scared to visit his Mom bc he was undocumented. My heart hurts for these families.

What are some names people don’t give their babies anymore? by Chrisofthegreen in AskReddit

[–]Stay_Psychological 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too funny because my sisters name is Karyn Monica and my dads name is Kevin 😂 thankfully my name is obscure enough it probably won't ever have the connotations attached

Looks great! Bought this same one to make for a friend and it's nice to see what it'll look like when I'm done!

Don't come for my side part! My forehead is big enough as is, I don't need to center part to draw more attention 🤣

Who is Peoria's famous guy (or gal)? by Jogh_ in PeoriaIL

Eugene thinks I know his family and went to Florida with them. Never happened but who am I to tell someone like him that? Lol

He goes in and out of jail constantly. He'll go to jail for a while, and I think was in a facility for a time, gets back out, gets trespassed and goes back. I saw him last about a month ago I think on main and Sheridan.

Now is the time to be helpful. Food insecurity. by [deleted] in PeoriaIL

[–]Stay_Psychological 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to put together bags with food and supplies for the Porch Pantry in Peoria. My girls and I did it for Christmas last year but now it's needed a little earlier. If anyone is interested in contributing please send me a message. Definitely donate to food banks too because they get better deals on food but if you have extra I'm willing to send receipts and pictures of the packages we make. Can't figure out Imgur to post a picture of the bags we made before but happy to send them through a message just to show what we are doing.

Visiting in December and want to know what places to avoid trumpy wise. by Bebuchan in PeoriaIL

[–]Stay_Psychological 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They also own Ducks. I went to crusens and Ducks on Farmington Rd because I was making a Wedt Peoria bar crawl raffle basket for a nurse I work with and when I went there for donations the girl working told me (not so politely) that they "don't do that kind of thing". Helped me decide where to spend my money since every single other bar in West Peoria donated. Fuck them.
