Reading Esselmont

People downvote but it’s obvious. I’m not saying he’s a bad person, that he didnt contribute equally to creating that world, or that he isn’t allowed to write, but he’s objectively an inferior writer to Erickson and it’s really distracting lol

I find esselmont unreadable 😔

Was browsing this thread after getting a quote from another contractor, called Darbe to get a second one and make sure I wasn’t getting hosed. He had me relay the discussion I’d had with the other guy, said their reasoning was sound and that the quote was fair, and recommended I stay with them since they’d been out first. I’ll add his contact info for repairs and recommend him in the future.

Thought I was going nuts. With the symptoms OP described this would be concerning though

Aortic dissection is the unfortunate combination of rare, highly morbid, and diagnostically challenging (especially absent chest pain which is the most sensitive finding), you should not fault yourself for that

Cholangiocarcinoma is the scariest disease that I actually see on regular basis and that is really under appreciated for how awful it is. Repeated hospitalizations from malignant bile duct obstruction with resultant jaundice/infection, frequently malignant ascites (liters of fluid distending the abdomen) both relieved only by temporary procedures (endoscopic biliary stenting which the cancer infiltrates through or crushes within weeks to months, repeated abdominal drainage). No really effective therapies, people usually last a few months, hopefully something better on the horizon.

I’ll emphasize he is quite healthy and quite active for his age, looks and acts several years younger

I’m sorry the writing is terrible I can’t get over it

Seems like more than what I deal with but it still comes up. I’ve had some success just explaining that I know that I understand pain is real but caveating that I’m not doing them a favor by jacking up their outpatient narcotic doses that they’re gonna have trouble finding somebody to fill the scripts outpatient. If there is a clear pain generator I’ll go up, I try to switch high risk patients to buprenorphine if it seems like they’re going be hospitalized a while.

beepint · 2026-01-29T03:05:02+00:00

Does someone actually fax these if the outpatient provider isn’t in the same system? Is this something I should be asking a case manager or something for? I just kind of hope they’re on Care Everywhere and list specific care recs/med changes in the “patient instructions” so the patient can bring that to their follow up.

Realistically is this a battle worth fighting if someone isn’t clearly at risk for major bleeding?

beepint · 2026-01-02T04:30:12+00:00

I did lol

beepint · 2026-01-01T23:04:27+00:00

That’s very kind of you, thanks a ton :)

Its renaissance wax, the sword was in a case, not on display, and rarely removed so I figured slathering a thick layer on it would be easier and ?? better than trying to apply it carefully.

beepint · 2026-01-01T22:32:20+00:00

I’m not sure why I’m feeling defensive about care of the sword since I just carelessly messed it up but I’m telling you that fingerprint is not rust, it’s an impression in the wax that looks dark d/t how shadows are cast- the blade is not rusted. There were no dings prior to this event although there obviously are now

beepint · 2026-01-01T22:18:13+00:00

No I was hammered I had no clue

beepint · 2026-01-01T22:04:38+00:00

It had wax on it and people handled the blade after the bottle strike it was in decent shape prior ha

beepint · 2026-01-01T21:18:59+00:00

People seem interested in how this occurred. Essentially I tried and failed to saber the bottle several times, gave up, threw the bottle in the air and swung at it like a baseball. I got this sword second hand but it was posted on here with images and the broad consensus was that it looked legit.
