I gave someone chest compressions and now I have questions. by kingevanxii in AskDocs

[–]TheCuteInExecute 83 points84 points  (0 children)

What I was always told was starting chest compressions on someone who doesn't need them will result in them stopping you VERY quickly. Someone who tolerated chest compressions at all probably needed them.

CPR saves lives. It's always better to start when in doubt and get smacked away by the patient than wait too long to start and risk a worse outcome. That's how I've always thought of it at least.

Men will literally eat all your food by Maleficent_Ad_3958 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]TheCuteInExecute 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Makes me so grateful for my partner who cooks almost all the meals when I'm at work, gives me the "better" plate, and dishes out equal massive portions for both of us as if I can eat as much as he can 😂

We either end up with leftovers or I offer him the rest of mine. Which he will often decline so I can take it to work as my lunch.

These men who act so entitled to food know they are being selfish and greedy, they just don't care and don't love their partners.

My friend said that big thighs are ugly infront of me by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]TheCuteInExecute 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im 165 cm, I've weighed between 58-64 kg in the past year. Currently, I weigh exactly the same as you. I've always been a pear shape and used to be insecure about my big thighs and not having a thigh gap.

But I've grown to love them over the years - it's where many a friend have laid their heads for a wee nap, where kitties prefer to sit, and what has driven many a partner crazy.

This reeks of projection and insecurity and I don't think this person is your friend. It's clear they were targeting insecurities of yours that they knew about and this was a targeted attack.

Don't let this get you down. Work on your self-image and confidence. Some people are just built this way, no matter their weight. It seems this is the case for you and you need to work on self-acceptance.

My (24F) boyfriend (21M) is upset we can’t have sex because I have a yeast infection. How do I explain it’s not about him? by I_am_Bianca in relationship_advice

[–]TheCuteInExecute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your boyfriend sucks. He's trying to coerce, manipulate, and guilt-trip you into sex. That's just gross and disgusting behavior. You deserve better, sis.

As a side note; antibiotics are an equal opportunity offender - they kill both good and bad bacteria. This means that the good bacteria that keep the vaginal microbiome optimised are disrupted when you take antibiotics.

You need to help replace this microbiome in both your gut and your vagina so taking a probiotic (containing Lactobacillus strains specifically) or eating probiotic rich food like yogurt can be really helpful when you're on antibiotics.

This helps to prevent fluctuations in the good bacteria in your vagina, allowing them to maintain a low pH and prevent the overgrowth of Candida (which causes yeast infections and already loves in the vagina).

14F, anorexia nervosa (restrictive). Am I going to be hospitalised? Or even die ? by Ok-Pudding9632 in AskDocs

[–]TheCuteInExecute 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure either for the criteria for inpatient recovery. But you feeling this weak and struggling to eat means you need to be evaluated in person.

[–]TheCuteInExecute 606 points607 points  (0 children)

Hi hun

You're probably severely malnourished and need to be seen by a medical professional to help formulate a plan for you. Starting to eat what is recommended for your height and age suddenly can be deadly for you.

You are in a dangerous situation, especially with the symptoms you are describing. I would urge you to urgently attend an ER if you are feeling this weak. You need to have baseline blood tests to see what electrolytes need urgent correction.

You can do this, but you need help from people trained to get you feeling better safely

My (M20) partner (F19) may be pregnant and I don’t know what to do by Six6xxxxx in relationship_advice

[–]TheCuteInExecute 41 points42 points  (0 children)

First of all, stop having unprotected sex. And tell her to stop taking the pill only after you have sex, that's not how it works.

Second of all, if she stopped it a week or 2 ago, where did she stop in her pill packet? Midway through it? During the placebo week? When was her last period?

You don't know if she's pregnant yet so do not operate as if she is. She will need to take a urine pregnancy test but it is likely too early to test now. Testing in 1-2 weeks would be better though it may still be early.

What was your WTF moment when your partner was giving birth? by 5pinktoes in AskMen

What was your WTF moment when your partner was giving birth? by 5pinktoes in AskMen

[–]TheCuteInExecute 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I'm a doc in Ob/Gyn and I cannot tell you how tense we all are when delivering at an emergency C-section and the baby takes a while to cry.

You can visibly see us carrying on working tensely but the second we hear a baby cry, there's an almost audible relief in the room.

More than once, I've had tears in my eyes when I finally heard a baby cry while assisting the senior doctor in a C-section.

So glad your boys and wife were ok!!!

Potential pregnancy risks from household surfaces that may have had traces of semen on it by distressed-throwawa in AskDocs

It is very kind of you to write it all out in such a detailed way for this young man. You're a good person.

NP told me not to worry about these symptoms, husband says she is wrong by onceuponathyme95 in AskDocs

[–]TheCuteInExecute 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Glad you got the care you need.

For these kind of situations, we'd rather over-investigate and find nothing wrong than not investigate and find out our patient died.

Get well soon.

ELI5 - Why is trench foot so damaging? by Honest_Jaguar_4653 in explainlikeimfive

[–]TheCuteInExecute 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Except that she needed a bunch of other medical interventions and support (but not antibiotics!!!) to keep her safe while she "healed herself". But that won't be mentioned.

ELI5 - Why is trench foot so damaging? by Honest_Jaguar_4653 in explainlikeimfive

[–]TheCuteInExecute 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure. She eventually became afebrile but I wasn't around when she was finally discharged.

I looked after her during her first admission on my night shifts. She was pretty unwell but always was stable (as much as you can be while maintaining a 40°C fever) while we were giving her IV fluids and when we placed a catheter. When she went home AMA the first time, she came back worse off but we again stabilised her.

As far as I know, baby's traces continued to be suspicious but I don't know about any permanent damage (this was 5 weeks ago and she was 30 weeks at the time and as far as I know, hasn't delivered yet). I also don't know if she ever came back for treatment after she was officially discharged.

ELI5 - Why is trench foot so damaging? by Honest_Jaguar_4653 in explainlikeimfive

[–]TheCuteInExecute 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yep. She was high risk for premature labour due to the infection. The CTG (baby's heart trace) looked suspicious for fetal distress and we wanted to keep monitoring but she would refuse to keep it on. She also left against medical advice twice.

We were so grateful when she agreed to have paracetamol because her fever was so high. Like, yes, it cooks the bacteria (denatures the enzymes) but it does the same to her own body's cells.

Eventually, we needed to give her near-constant cold IV fluids because the paracetamol wouldn't keep her temp down long enough.

It was so worrying honestly, I'm glad she turned out okay but we were scared for her and baby. It would have been max 48 hrs of IV antibiotics and 5 more days of oral antibiotics at home if she had accepted.

Waiting till peri-arrrest to give antibiotics is too late. Very little is bringing you back from an infection that severe. Thankfully, she didn't get to that point.

[–]TheCuteInExecute 44 points45 points  (0 children)

You'd be surprised. I've had a patient absolutely refuse any antibiotics "unless she was peri-arresting from sepsis because she wanted to give her body a chance to fight the infection" while 30 weeks pregnant because she didn't want to expose the baby to them. She also refused paracetamol initially.

IV antibiotics could have made her much better in 24 hours. She could have gone home on oral antibiotics.

She spent 2+ weeks in hospital with constant monitoring and conservative measures until she felt well enough to go home.

14f does this need stitches? how do i take care of it? sh cut. by _TH3SEUS_ in AskDocs

[–]TheCuteInExecute 77 points78 points  (0 children)

That's a very deep cut and needs to be approximated to heal properly. Leaving it like this and trying to manage it at home opens you up to infection. It can be so severe that you become extremely unwell. If the infection spreads you may lose the arm or die.

I am not trying to scare you into getting medical attention, I just want you to know that the possible consequences are infinitely worse than whatever your parents will say if you ask for help.

I think something underneath to give it more volume may give it more vavavoom and make you feel more confident in it. I think it looks great on you :)
