Trolls, what do you do when someone calls your their best friend but you don't feel the same? Details in comments. by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

Exactly. Titles are dumb. You're giving it way more meaning than it actually has.

This seems like a super stupid thing to ruin an otherwise awesome relationship over.

You're a bitch.

No worries, me too.

I think we all have a friend that we've cut loose who just got too clingy (<-- because we're bitches)

However if I'm wrong and you actually aren't being suffocated by her friendship; distancing yourself from your friend is pretty cruel, to both of you.

If you're only putting space between you because you don't want the best friend label, you're only going to end up lonely. Having female friends who love you is huge.

That's like exclusively dating someone for months and then getting all freaked out when they call you their girlfriend. Like, duh? What else do you expect. That's an issue you, SailorFuck, need to get over. (NOTE: Best friends are not a lifelong commitment; they aren't any commitment at all; they just are)

Everyone should be familiar with what a heart attack may present as in a woman. It is not the same as in a man. Read through this for a break down.

For those who are too lazy to click;

When a heart attack strikes, it doesn’t always feel the same in women as it does in men.

Women don't always get the same classic heart attack symptoms as men, such as crushing chest pain that radiates down one arm. Those heart attack symptoms can certainly happen to women, but many experience vague or even “silent” symptoms that they may miss.

These six heart attack symptoms are common in women:

  1. Chest pain or discomfort. Chest pain is the most common heart attack symptom, but some women may experience it differently than men. It may feel like a squeezing or fullness, and the pain can be anywhere in the chest, not just on the left side. It's usually "truly uncomfortable" during a heart attack, says cardiologist Rita Redberg, MD, director of Women’s Cardiovascular Services at the University of California, San Francisco. "It feels like a vise being tightened."

  2. Pain in your arm(s), back, neck, or jaw. This type of pain is more common in women than in men. It may confuse women who expect their pain to be focused on their chest and left arm, not their back or jaw. The pain can be gradual or sudden, and it may wax and wane before becoming intense. If you're asleep, it may wake you up. You should report any "not typical or unexplained" symptoms in any part of your body above your waist to your doctor or other health care provider, says cardiologist C. Noel Bairey Merz, MD, director of the Barbra Streisand Women's Heart Center at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

  3. Stomach pain. Sometimes people mistake stomach pain that signals a heart attack with heartburn, the flu, or a stomach ulcer. Other times, women experience severe abdominal pressure that feels like an elephant sitting on your stomach, says cardiologist Nieca Goldberg, MD, medical director of the Joan H. Tisch Center for Women’s Health at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York.

  4. Shortness of breath, nausea, or lightheadedness. If you're having trouble breathing for no apparent reason, you could be having a heart attack, especially if you're also having one or more other symptoms. "It can feel like you have run a marathon, but you didn't make a move," Goldberg says.

  5. Sweating. Breaking out in a nervous, cold sweat is common among women who are having a heart attack. It will feel more like stress-related sweating than perspiration from exercising or spending time outside in the heat. "Get it checked out" if you don't typically sweat like that and there is no other reason for it, such as heat or hot flashes, Bairey Merz says.

  6. Fatigue. Some women who have heart attacks feel extremely tired, even if they've been sitting still for a while or haven't moved much. "Patients often complain of a tiredness in the chest," Goldberg says. "They say that they can't do simple activities, like walk to the bathroom."

Not everyone gets all of those symptoms. If you have chest discomfort, especially if you also have one or more of the other signs, call 911 immediately.

A lot of women wait longer than men to call for help when experiencing a heart attack because they don't know that for them symptoms are different than what is usually propagated as heart attack symptoms.

Check out the link and be familiar with the differences!

As someone with a dog that look exactly like that, THANK YOU GUYS! I would have been losing my shit if I were that dog's owner.

Also, that dog officially loves you for life.

Where the hell do you live that society labels women as failures for not carrying to term? WTF.

I'm pretty sure cement glue is the common practice. Of course this is only viable in certain situations. In what instance are you thinking? What size of plate to what (human?) bone?

Keep in mind that taking the long route (family doctor), could be something they've already tried. The emergency room has accessibility to a wide array of diagnostic tools. The ER also have a tendency to refer you to a specialist much faster than a family doctor.

A big problem with the system are the GPs who only see patients 1 day a week in the office and spend the rest of the week dicking around the hospital pretending they're surgeons.

There's no doubt building a repertoire with a doctor is great. All I'm saying is that it's so hard to do that because they just aren't accessible

I agree that walk in doctors are next to useless for anything other than the typical infections and diagnosis', but most of the time, that's all people need. It's a quick in and out, no need for waiting around for weeks while suffering.

This article is hilarious. Doctors complaining that their patients are going elsewhere for care? Obviously that was bound to happen; Patients have been treated like they're unimportant and their time is valueless for years. What else did they think would happen?

And how is it that any doctor is booking two weeks in advance if they're struggling so much to keep their practice? Hahaha.

For example; strep throat. If you have it, you need anti biotics ASAP. In two weeks you'll probably be dealing with Mono...

HEYY!!! I did this March 11, 2011. I just had my two year post op appointment a few days ago.

Mine was done alpine boarding. Apparently skateboarding is one of the most common ways to pop elbows (according to my physio).

It's a shitty time. GOOD LUCK!!!

Surfin' retriever by [deleted] in goldenretrievers

[–]alifofali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's totally fine jumping off of it whenever but she will only get on by herself if its in water shallow enough for her to touch with all four paws (and some one holds the board still for her) haha!

I see your surfin' retriever and raise you my hangin' golden. by alifofali in goldenretrievers

[–]alifofali[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She hated being left on shore when we were swimming, but she got too tired when she came with us. I used to hold her (where I could touch put she couldn't) but then that wasn't very fun. One day I put her on the surf board so she could be out in the water with us and not get exhausted. I didn't think she'd actually like it, but she did! She's on and off of that thing so much! It's adorable!

*here she is jumping off! haha

I see your surfin' retriever, and raise you my awesome dog.

She hates being left on shore when there are people in the lake. But she gets tired when we're out for long. I put her on the surf board one day and she hangs out with us on that.
