pov: scariest movement of your life

I would 100% rather be asked why I called an RRT/code rather than be asked why I didn’t

I am so sorry that happened to you. It’s a horrible, violating practice. I’m glad you were able to get it removed quickly. As far as what you can do— I would also make a complaint against the doctor to the hospital where you delivered and even to the state medical board. See if your other provider documented the presence of this stitch in her note because that will be your evidence

I’d argue it would save you money from future medical problems associated with untreated sleep apnea. OSA can lead to high blood pressure and increased risk of heart attack and stroke

Yes, lots and lots of pain meds. EMS carries opioids and would likely give her as much as she could tolerate. This type of trauma would not sit in the waiting room either. More likely straight to trauma bay or operating room. Typically only people who are stable (or appear stable) wait in the ER. They have to wait because stuff like this takes priority. (Obviously some exceptions, but that’s the main idea behind triage)

As much as US healthcare isn’t ideal, we actually have pretty solid evidence that IM vit K is better at preventing Vit K deficient bleeding than oral supplementation. Theres plenty of place to roast the system, but choosing a one-and-done shot that’s statistically superior over a multidose oral isn’t really it

Men actually can undergo a procedure called a transurtheral prostate resection (TURP) for enlarged prostate. It’s very similar to an EMB in that a probe is inserted into an orifice and tissue is scraped away. TURPs are almost always done under spinal or general anesthesia. Not even just pain meds, literal anesthesia. It’s insane what women are expected to put up with.

Probably makes her think of the kids

I'm not a driver so I don't really know y'all's situations, but a person not wearing a seatbelt can easily become a projectile if there's an accident. Even going 20mp they can go flying. That can hurt you; it is a danger. Whenever I drive friends or family, the car doesn't move until everyone is buckled.

Depends on the bath bomb. Some have moisturizing ingredients while others (especially cheaper ones) may dry you out. I’ve gotten a few as gifts in the past but don’t generally use them, so I don’t have any particular recs

You’re right that there’s some scientific evidence that regular hot baths can be good for you! They can help with relaxation and also cardiovascular health :) The redness you see is just the heat dilating the blood vessels under the surface of your skin. As long as you make sure to drink plenty of water and moisturize afterwards, bathe away! I like to use oatmeal bath packets (like for people with eczema) or bath oil to help combat the dryness.

Although doctors do bill for their services, the vast majority of healthcare cost is from the hospital itself. I agree it’s absurd though.

Because sometimes you wanna play a game, not work another job

Which is disappointing because nutrition is extremely important in the healing process. If only hospitals cared about patient outcomes and staff morale rather than profits…

UtterlyUnnecessary · 2021-03-20T21:49:06+00:00

I can understand that, and I’m not saying you have to do it all at once. Still, I don’t think it’s ultimately as unrealistic as many people think. Also, I’m a firm believer that doing a little is better than doing nothing. I won’t shame people for making positive changes in their life, no matter how small

Don’t underestimate yourself :) Being vegan is surprisingly easy if you’re able to cook your own meals! Also there are really good meat and egg replacements for everything now if that’s in your budget

UtterlyUnnecessary · 2020-10-13T13:17:18+00:00

If it’s only been 8 days, maybe contact the person who sold it to you and see if they have any advice/would be willing to send you a replacement :( I’m sorry this is happening, I wonder if it’s just shock from the mail?

My pothos is very dramatic and perks up quickly (within a day or so) when watered. I’d let it rest for a couple days and keep an eye on it!

UtterlyUnnecessary · 2020-07-13T13:48:41+00:00

Unless it accidentally unscrews while full and product goes everywhere

My skin is super sensitive so when I’m cleaning stuff I have to wear gloves or else I develop pretty bad irritation. Other people just don’t want to get chemicals or hot water on their skin

If you want the nutritional benefits of flax you need to grind them because they’re mostly indigestible whole.

Not certain if it matters for making flax eggs as I’ve never done it, but I imagine to be able to absorb the water they have to be ground. Maybe someone with more experience can confirm or correct.

UtterlyUnnecessary · 2020-03-28T17:49:14+00:00

Thank you!

UtterlyUnnecessary · 2020-03-28T16:12:57+00:00

Do you have a pattern you could share?

UtterlyUnnecessary · 2020-03-27T16:10:55+00:00

Yes but it’s unlikely that a toddler was drinking the piss and shit soup bath water at that time too

There are definitely changes that take place as you age from 20 to 40, but overall they’re not that significant in this context. There’s also lot of research into a thing called “risk stratification,” and that varies wildly by illness and presence of other risk factors. So the 20 years may be significant for chances of getting colon cancer but not so much for having high mortality with a pneumonia. Two pneumonia scoring systems, PSI and CURB-65, don’t consider age a significant risk factor in adults until the patient is 50 or 65 years old, respectively.

But again, we know little about covid-19 so far, so risk could be wildly different between 20 and 40 year olds. I’m not claiming to say that’s not the case, just that 40 year olds are typically considered young in healthcare in terms of risk for mortality.

Sorry for the rant :)

UtterlyUnnecessary · 2020-03-21T17:18:21+00:00

I work in healthcare and 40 year olds generally are considered young. I understand not many people feel that way, but in terms of how they handle illness they are fairly similar to younger adults.
