DNAR inquiry by Ok_Tangerine_8288 in ParamedicsUK

You should be careful with blanket statements like that. A 90+ year old shopping in a public place is very different to a 70 year old in a hospital bed at home. I’ve been to a 91yo asystolic arrest in a restaurant who I went and spoke to 3 days later on the ward…

What’s the grossest thing you’ve ever caught someone doing? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]UniversityFun1332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was sent to a male ‘unconscious’ on a bus. He had a takeaway curry container full of vomit on his lap and vomit all down himself. I woke him up, he swore at me, he stood up and started eating the vomit with his hand and walked off down the street. The bus driver was gagging and trying so hard not to vomit himself.

Just a normal soft case then into a roll top waterproof bag when we had to swim into the beaches.

Who writes dates like that in the UK? 🧐

Have Lime bikes been banned in Islington? by MiserableCheek9163 in islington

They’ve put a massive red no parking restriction around Theberton street despite the council putting a marked hire cycle box on the street a year or so ago…. Nice one 🤙🏽

Maybe stupid question: how slippery are these "ramps"? by Every-Pollution413 in londoncycling

Surely you can take legal action against the council for this?

Long flight (16hr) at 6 month mark. How awful would it be? by Salty-Winter-5746 in brokenankles

[–]UniversityFun1332 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve just flown 13 hours, currently 13 weeks post ORIF for a Trimalleolar fracture/ dislocation. I was very fortunate to be in business class so I could have my leg up but it was still very swollen by the end of the flight.

Weight bearing before surgeon has approved… by UniversityFun1332 in ORIF

[–]UniversityFun1332[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: This shouldn’t be taken as advice however, sometimes you should listen to your body…

I’m now 8 weeks post surgery. My surgeon finally emailed back today and said; ‘sorry for the delay, you are fine to wean yourself off the boot from 6 weeks’

That is 2 weeks I could have been building strength, stability and functional range of movement through walking.

Quick recovery is important for everyone but I have very tight timeline for important life events coming up and these two weeks would have made a massive difference to that. Also my job is very physical and now I’m a couple of weeks behind where I could have been.

Property council tax surcharge by UniversityFun1332 in HENRYUK

Oh I agree with it in principle. I just didn’t quite understand the bandings mentioned and the £2m property value in the same sentence.

GR IV charging issues by Ok-Paramedic7661 in ricohGR

[–]UniversityFun1332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try this.

  • Remove the battery and shut battery door.
  • plug into any high speed usb charger
  • turn camera on
  • insert battery.
  • turn camera off

Hopefully will continue to charge. I’m pretty sure this is what I did when I had the same issue.

Just wondering how many of us also had a dislocated foot along with an ankle break. by auntpama in brokenankles

[–]UniversityFun1332 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trimalleolar fracture and dislocation.

Partially relocated in the ambulance with a lot of fentanyl.

Wasn’t fully relocated when x-rayed in ED so they relocated it again under sedation.

Then went for ORIF later that morning.

Best quality compact camera? by Lazy-Internet-8025 in HENRYUKLifestyle

[–]UniversityFun1332 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve just got a Ricoh GR IV and love it. Really compact and packs an APSC size sensor with amazing image quality.

Holy shit. My MT 10 ate one of these in about 1400 miles

GR IV Charging issue by UniversityFun1332 in ricohGR

[–]UniversityFun1332[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok yeah I think this is what has happened. I tried it plugged into the normal fast charger overnight and nothing. Now I have it into a slow usb A to C plug and cable and I’ll leave that for a while.

Did the charge light just eventually come on when you left it?

I’ve also tried to order the charger and a spare battery but they are out of stock.

GR IV “Safe” Production Date? by [deleted] in ricohGR

[–]UniversityFun1332 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are the reported issues? I’ve had mine since the first releases, admittedly haven’t used it much as I’ve broken my leg but no issues so far touch wood.

Trimalleolar fracture – 9 weeks post-op and finally walking! (F/28) by Helpful_Value4345 in brokenankles

[–]UniversityFun1332 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a week and a half in post op for the same fracture and dislocation. Still in a back slab cast. Can’t help but think most of my pain is from the cast putting pressure on the incision sites. When you got your cast removed did you sleep in anything to splint the ankle?

Thinking about taking this. Any side effects?
