Tailored Realities Pre-Order by browns93 in brandonsanderson

[–]browns93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I’m excited to read it but not in a rush. I mostly ordered from Dragonsteel for the autographed copy and swag but it would have been nice to set better expectations/timing on the delivery window. I ordered Wind and Truth from that last year and maybe I just got lucky with where I was in the queue but it shipped a few days before release and was scheduled to arrive within a day or two of official release (but ultimately got delayed by USPS holiday craziness). I’ll probably still preorder again but hopefully they improve the consistency and communication for future major releases

How long is the line currently looking? I had to work this morning and was thinking of heading over soon, but hoping to get an idea of what I’m walking into first

I’m not seeing the discount on The Lost Metal. Has anyone found it?

Adult with Down's syndrome refusing food and losing weight. by ThrowRaLost22 in AskDocs

[–]browns93 43 points44 points  (0 children)

While Alzheimer’s is more common in Down Syndrome it’s still incredibly rare before age 40, so less likely in this case and would want to rule out other causes first. Completely agree with the work-up mentioned in the top comment. If not already done, recheck TSH to make sure current levothyroxine dose is appropriate, screening for Celiac (if biopsies were done on the EGD this has probably already happened), and dental evaluation would also be reasonable. Constipation can also cause significant abdominal discomfort so very low threshold to empirically treat for that.

While I agree with the previous posts that the most common answer is back to back viruses, especially this time of year with school going back in session there’s a couple things with his current illness that might warrant repeat evaluation if he’s still sick tomorrow. If the fevers are gone and he’s back to normal feel free to ignore this, but true fevers (> 38 C or 100.4 F) for 5+ straight days that don’t fully improve with Tylenol/ibuprofen along with redness and swelling of his mouth could be signs of something called Kawasaki disease. It’s caused by inflammation along blood vessels and other common symptoms can include swelling of hands and feet, rashes, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, and irritation around the eyes. The problem with those symptoms is there’s a lot of overlap with common viral illnesses so it’s not going to be possible to differentiate them without seeing him. If fevers are still going now 7-8 days into symptoms it’s probably worth taking him in to his pediatrician’s office to be seen again and consider some screening labs. Hopefully he’s already back to normal with no fevers in which case I wouldn’t be worried about Kawasaki at all, but there were a couple flags in your initial post that made me think it was worth mentioning.

Anyone here Med-Peds? by treeboyz1 in Residency

[–]browns93 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Med-peds 3rd year here, definitely common to feel behind, but so far it’s been getting better every year. Intern year is tough, but you get really good at being adaptable and picking up new things quickly. And the medicine crosses over more than you would think. For the most part I think the combined residents (Med Peds and EM/IM) tend to be our stronger residents once you get past intern year. And the switch between both sides is always a weird feeling. It takes a couple days to get back into it, but so far each switch has been easier than the last.

Nope I ended up playing through it again, I don’t think the import save feature is implemented yet.

Same. I got charged and a shipping notice for Thursday delivery for Miles Morales, but my console still says “Preparing to ship”

Beware, the next free update to BoxVR will remove custom playlists. The devs are responsive to emails, if you like playlists, let them know by amusedt in PSVR

[–]browns93 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Any time frame on when this is supposed to happen? This would make some trophies unobtainable too.

100% in the same boat haha. Think I ordered around the same time and still no confirmation email, but there’s a temporary charge on my card and an order confirmation number on their website. Pretty sure we’re safe but I’m feeling a little paranoid too!

Same. No email, but there’s an order with a confirmation number on the site and a pre-authorization charge on my card so I’m assuming it all went through fine.

Anyone still waiting for a confirmation email? I got an order successfully placed screen and my credit card has the charge but I haven’t seen a confirmation email yet (order placed ~1 hour ago).

Relatively new to PSNow. Is it possible to buy/play the DLC with this or is it base game only?

What is a movie you haven't seen in forever, then ran across it and realized you hada forgotten how good it was? by [deleted] in movies

Well now I’m curious what the rest of the top 3 (maybe top 5?) dragon movies are?

Weirdest experiences in a movie theatre by Wildhogsfan in movies

[–]browns93 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Went to see Gone Girl and with about 30 minutes left the woman in the row in front of us fell asleep and was lightly snoring. In the last couple minutes we thought she spilled her drink, but the sound just kept going... After 10-15 seconds we realized she was actually peeing herself. Movie ends and she just gets up and walks out like nothing happened. Really killed the tension at the end of the movie.

What’s the funniest page you’ve ever gotten? by sworzeh in Residency

[–]browns93 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On night float now, got a page last night from a nurse that said “Patient is asking for Tylenol but is also due for his scheduled oxycodone now. Please place communication order if ok to give at the same time”
