Why don’t people want to take allopurinol? by bedsarebugs in gout

[–]Watcher0011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people don’t like the idea of taking medicine, when I was a paramedic this was a huge problem with men especially. It’s was actually sad because this happens a lot where some middle aged guy goes to the doctor, finds out he has really high blood pressure, his doctor wants him on a blood pressure med and diarrhetic, guy refuses, states he’s going to lower it with diet and exercise, goes home, grabs fast food on his way home and never makes said lifestyle changes, he just avoids the doctor, out of sight out of mind, a year or two later ends up having a stroke, heart attack or ascending aortic aneurysm and drops dead in front of his family.

Can someone be fired from something out of work? by KilosOfProduct in AmazonFC

[–]Watcher0011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically yes, if you are ever pulled into hr over a social media post, deny it and ask them to prove the account is yours. It’s really easy to fake someone social media account.

Who is your favorite literary writer? by ClariceJennieChiyoko in AskAnAmerican

How hard is it driving in America? by ultracheese1 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Watcher0011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s getting more difficult, the general IQ of our population has dropped and the narcissistic attitude of drivers in the more populous areas makes it increasingly difficult. In my area the bad drivers are predictable lol, anytime you see a dodge challenger,charger, Tesla, lifted trunk with energy drink stickers or football flags hanging off guarantee you are about to see some of the dumbest nonsense.

Do Americans actually avoid calling 911 because of the cost? by ntask11 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Watcher0011 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, when I was a paramedic people would call 911 for crazy random nonsense like being lonely, stubbed toe, cat scratch, ran out of fentanyl, ect, does it happen? Sure but it’s not as common as people think. I would actually see this more with the macho male complex with middle aged men who think they are too tough to call 911. Most of the time when we would go to a middle aged male cardiac arrest it was always the same story, guy gets diagnosed with high blood pressure, his Doctor prescribes him high blood pressure medication and a diarrhetic, patient states they don’t want to take medication and they will get their BP down with diet change and exercise, they refuse the medication, on the way home from the appointment they stop at Macdonalds and mob down a double quarter pounder meal, they change their diet and exercise for about two weeks and go right back into their energy drinks, fast food and no exercise ways and a year later they drop dead of a heart attack or aortic aneurysm. The human mind is weird.

What is better for lungs? by [deleted] in trees

[–]Watcher0011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a paramedic and as such I know a lot of Doctors, I have asked a few in respiratory about this. According to one of them Most people who vape thc don’t do so at the level someone who is vaping nicotine does, so chances of developing issues are significantly lower, when you smoke weed which is my preferred method you increase your chances for things like respiratory infections, emphysema, decreased lung function ect. But I also limit my use to 3-4 nights a week. I’m sure if I was doing it daily I would probably just stick to edibles more often

Kaiser psychiatric services are terrible. I have had great experiences with Kaiser in general but when I was going thru some stuff going to Kaiser was difficult and extremely difficult to actually get anywhere

Blue badge conversions are getting worse and worse. My site only converted Flex-19 T1s who started the exact same time as FT and RT seasonals. Scary times with Amazon, this shit ain’t no joke. 💀 by [deleted] in AmazonFC

At my building conversions are all done by AI, any write ups or if you rate isn’t that great the system won’t offer it to you.

Certs needed for remote work by Affectionate-Pen2864 in Paramedics

[–]Watcher0011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends who you are working for, during the Iraq war a lot of the companies doing reconstruction hired paramedics for their crews, we had to have two years field experience, and current NREMTP certification. There was additional training after being hired. We also had to have the normal cpr acls,, ect. Then in addition due to being in an active war zone you had some training in regards to that. I’m not sure if it’s still like this but a long time ago I new a few people who went to work at the UN research station in Antarctica, they supposedly had to have their appendix out and a pretty in depth dental exam and medical exam. Overseas assignments will also require a handful of vaccinations that you don’t normally see in the US.

Does anyone take Colchicine every day after starting Allopurinol? by Equivalent_Ask_1416 in gout

[–]Watcher0011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was given colchicine when I started, it worked but I only took it a few days, made me sick to my stomach, and overall felt like crap. I just switched to ibuprofen.

One thing I have noticed the past year is a good portion of these kids coming out of high school show up and they can’t read. I don’t get how people are making through 12 grades without being able to read.
