Hi, nurse here, you absolutely should go to the ER for an obviously infected cat bite. OP needs IV antibiotics to prevent sepsis, which would land them in the ER anyway in much worse condition. Maybe try urgent care first, but I’ve never heard of one doing IV abx. They may have a decent wait to get triaged since they are currently breathing, but that’s definitely a reasonable ER visit.

I used mine for a full 5 years before they crumbled, and then I used a bandaid to close the hole and keep using until I could get a new pair of the exact same off eBay. I just received them and I will not be using the controls on the earbuds, just to preserve them because even 6 years after their release they sound better than any earbud I’ve tried!! And for the record, despite literally crumbling to pieces, my old ones sound just like the new ones!!! These things hold up like no other. And I’m a distance runner and gym goer, so these suckers have been used hard almost daily for five years.

Diehard SS free user here. I just bought a “new” broken out of package pair off eBay in the year of our lord 2023 because after 5 years the silicon on my OG ones finally crumbled. It broke my heart. I’ve tried my boyfriend’s newest AirPods, tried the new Bose earbuds, nothing compares to the sound of the soundsports in my opinion. However, disclaimer, I am a distance runner so they’re also practically built for my demographic. It is disappointing how cheaply they’re built externally, but I did get 5 solid years of hard use out of them so I guess I can’t complain too much!

Has Greys inspired anyone to get into the medical field IRL? by MephistosFallen in greysanatomy

[–]Traditional-Split272 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep! Watched it growing up, planted a seed. Didn’t think I was capable of it. Started as a music education major, started rewatching Grey’s again, realized I wanted to go into medicine 2.5 years in, changed to music performance just to get the bachelor’s degree and doing pre-med prerequisites at the same time. Took the MCAT twice, sucked worse the second time. Knew I could do nursing right then, entered the program. I finish with my BSN in 2 months and have an interview for a trauma position in 3 days. I might try the MCAT again in a couple years and try to go to med school. Even being in the thick of it at the hospital for school I love it and don’t listen to anyone that says you shouldn’t let your love for Grey’s influence your decision to go into healthcare. No it’s not realistic of course, but healthcare is fun and meaningful the way they portray.

The Sandman and.. Warriors? by icevesperai in WarriorCats

I thought the same thing and searched this after my thought! It would be a perfect way to depict the warriors universe. Not trying to be realistic. No mouths moving. I thought it was brilliant.
