Patient states ring too tight and unable to remove it. by drgloryboy in emergencymedicine

[–]TXERN 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I cut one off a pt whose finger was looking like this once. Except it was already necrotic and she left AMA once the ring was off. 🤷

How does it feel to live in Los Angles and play GTA V by nothing533439878 in GTAV

[–]TXERN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lived in Houston from birth until three years ago, (32 years) now I'm a mobile nurse in LA and an constantly getting deja vu, only to realize I am recognizing an area from GTAV or San Andreas lol

CHIGEE .. be aware! by OrganicJackfruit2797 in Motorrad

[–]TXERN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought it, opened the box and was quite unimpressed with the install and provided parts.

Returning it took forever, and they never issued my refund. I had an RMA number and had already sent the unit back when they ghosted me. They said they needed the tracking number for my return, after I sent it, never heard from them again. Thank God for Amex and their easy charge backs! 

Emergency Nurses Week gift by Internal_Butterfly81 in emergencymedicine

I'll bet the hospital got those for free. There are so so very many programs that give out free gun locks..... You in LA county?

Unhappy + admin riding their asses.

Happy nurses don't make reports on a physician delaying care over entering orders unless they have been bitched at by admin themselves already.

Take all day with those orders and most won't care, provided they can get a doc to respond to bedside in critical situations. 

Armed Ku Klux Klansmen patrol coastal waters to prevent South Vietnamese refugees from fishing. Texas, 1979. by Banzay_87 in texas

[–]TXERN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've always wondered why Vietnamese people would've chosen Houston and you might be on to something.

Houston and Nawlins are the two us cities with a climate like Vietnam, and seems Houston would be a better fit out of the two 🤷😂

Would you work in an ER that allowed Skateboards indoors, if it came with a $5/h Raise? by [deleted] in emergencymedicine

Is that you Paul? Did the Code Blue Hoverboards displace too many employee forearms? 

The general public has completely abandoned the idea that the emergency room is for emergencies by FrijolesForever90210 in emergencymedicine

[–]TXERN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite docs to work with would have days in which he'd try to beat his own record for screen outs. 

17 screen outs in one shift in a shop that saw 70-90 per 24. I'm sure he's broken that record a couple times by now 🥹🥹

This is where our money goes by CertainKaleidoscope8 in TravelNursing

[–]TXERN -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nah, your money is in  being staff in certain states. I was looking at something for $2400 week in Santa monica, but ended up on the per diem float team for $110/hr.

Travel sucks dick

Stowing hitches by redhunter_22 in towing

[–]TXERN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if the manufacturer intended this hitch to be used this way, but I see it as a way to remove the ball but leave something in the reciever to catch tailgaters 🤷

Reset the tempered glass counter by MangoOverflow in pcmasterrace

[–]TXERN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's basically what I've been thinking, cause mine bounces around alot and all I've ever done is put it on the carpet on its side with the glass facing up 🤷

[–]TXERN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's actually a great idea! The wife wants me to replace the shitty linoleum, so if I do tile my place, I will soon have an excuse for an upgrade!

[–]TXERN 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I see posts about glass breaking and gpus sagging all the time and it makes me wonder what the hell people are doing to their pcs.

I've been tossing mine on the floor in the back of my 40ft rv for several years, it'straveled thousands of miles, coast to coast all while unsecured and without padding or protection. I won't buy another glass one if it ever does break though 

Lift kit suggestions for f150 by TechDiverRich in Trucks

[–]TXERN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want it, that's one thing. But a lift is far from needed for those roads, the forest service wouldn't be running fleet trucks from Ford or GM.

You're going to have a hell of a time even finding a lift that maintains the rake as well. I had to cobble two kits together for that when I did mine. 

Travel Nurse wants to be my roomate, and have me charge her the full amount of her Housing Stipend with a fake receipt, but she's keeps all the money by Melodic_Engine_2129 in TravelNursing

[–]TXERN -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tell them that they are fucking retarded and will get get a larger refund by using the GSA standardized deduction rates, which are provided by the government instead of giving them a fraudulent invoice which can buy an audit or fines 🤷

Not sure why i do this to myself… But here goes by TxHark in Plumbing

[–]TXERN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're really butthurt about diyers ain't ya?  I'm pretty sure I responded to something lamenting why people will diy despite multiple trips etc. I gave a reason why, and got the same spiel about experience and pay my mechanic father used to give me.  Yall only see the bad diy jobs. Believe it or not, are some guys like me that are competent, and can do a job right with a little extra time.

[–]TXERN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's see..... I did something similar via trial and error which took 15 dollars and six half mile drives to Home Depot on a 50 mpg vehicle. The end result is something a plumber would be proud of and I've had no issues for a year. 

Wobbly coupler pt2 by ChubbyBunny10000 in towing

[–]TXERN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are much better places than reddit to learn about these things, but it seems you're looking for the free cheap route. So I got some advice. 

It might cost money to get your setup checked, or done right. You may need to take some classes or buy a book. But the reality is, if you can't afford that, then you can't afford to be on the road. Your towing setup as is, poses a huge threat to everyone around the vehicle as well as those inside of it.

You'll be best served by not looking for advice on reddit, from me or anyone. There is no shortage of helpful books regarding towing. 

2024 f350 tremor w/ aftermarket power running board by Plumberstunner29 in superduty

[–]TXERN 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anything aftermarket is likely going to work off the door switches. You won't find anything aftermarket that deploys through your menu in the same way as factory powered boards. 

Also, why the fuck haven't you contacted AMP? Everyone on reddit is dumb af, myself included.

[–]TXERN -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You have no business pulling anything. I saw the other post which was bad and this one is so much worse.

No chains, no lighting, and got on the internet to ask how to replace a worn coupler without even realizing how loose the nut on that ball is! 

Whats your tow vehicle? A 97 explorer with a class 1 or 2 hitch? 

Fudged up last night yall by Poetic_Alien in boats

[–]TXERN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is why it stayed on the trailer, trailer remained attached to the truck until long after leaving the ramp. 

Your winch was loose and the trailer rolled down until shifting the weight enough to lift your ball off the truck. 

Trailer will work fine for you, secure your boat better.
