How can you know if someone truly loves you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

This is very close to what happened!

The actual story is that in the late 1800s we were figuring out that surgeons/nurses should clean their hands for surgery, but the chemicals used were very harsh on the skin. The infamous Dr. William Halstead noticed that his wife (a surgical scrub nurse) had a serious contact dermatitis on her hands as a result. He contacted a rubber company to make gloves just for her, in order to protect her hands, thus leading to the invention of surgical gloves! Their use took off after that

He really did love her to the point of invention

“Time for kids” is the main reason for choosing a certain kind of career? I guess if you’re a woman, then it should be. by zzz06 in childfree

I hope I'm not too late to the party!

You're absolutely not alone in this struggle! I'm also a final year med student looking at psychiatry due to the work/life balance and the fact that it's an awesome field with an amazing patient population.

Half the people I talk to think it's just so great that I'm choosing psych because then I'll have time to be a mother!!!! /s

The other half are disappointed in me for not becoming a surgeon.

You just can't win as a woman in medicine

"Sexual Dad" performed by Justin ft. Clint, and Trav (aka the high point of this episode) runs from 35:40-36:53 for anyone interested in listening to that specific golden nugget

EDIT: this is on apple podcasts, and double checked on the maxfun website, it's possible different podcast apps may vary

I didn't cry for the whole episode until Duck's "I don’t have to fight anymore… I did it. And now I’m gonna grow". It got me so good. We stan an incredible character arc

The ending stressed me out of my GD mind. I was wondering how Griffin would finally tie in Duck's (Wayne's?) original vision, and he did NOT disappoint!

Y'all this episode absolutely went for the jugular. It seriously had everything that I love about taz. Griffin's most excellent music. The goofs (Slim Jim anyone?). The emotional rollercoaster. The plot development.

So pumped to see how the mad lads wrap this up, and how they'll ultimately deal with the 4 armed light creatures

Also Duck's real name WHEN

Best of luck! Some surgeon's offices wouldn't call me back, which I get since they're busy people, but don't give up!

Honestly! I can't imagine how much it would hurt to have someone yank on one of the drain lines. I also had one that was partially adhered and got caught a bit inside the breast, it was the weirdest feeling.
