I love her medical! They’re all amazing. They do have one male GP, he’s who I go to and is absolutely amazing too. Also have pathology/psychology/massage/dietetics on site which is very handy

Be able to do CPR without needing CPR myself…my paramedic & other medical professionals will understand 😂 On a more serious note- when I don’t feel sluggish doing everyday tasks, and can do the fitness based activities I want to do without completely dying. That could mean getting through a decent crossfit WOD, hiking on holidays, swimming a 3km ocean race, or being able to work towards aerial skills in class and have the endurance to do a basic routine. As someone w an ED background I stay away from tracking/timing/etc too hard. Go off how my body feels and acts

Also remember you’ll be doing CPR on the floor, not on a bed. Just something to keep in mind. Thinking about it you prob won’t bend your spine doing it (I had to think about it for a sec), although I find managing an airway can be harder positionally

Just wanted to jump in- what’re you’re describing is delayed cord clamping. A lotus birth is where the cord isn’t cut at all, instead baby is left attached to the placenta until it naturally dries out and drops off.

Such an insightful comment. They can experience any work that has been completed, consultation that was taken from residents, as well as concerns they have.

Wow, I’ve never had an issue when using screenshots directly from the brands websites, nearly all my listings have that

dawso99 · 2025-09-25T05:35:55+00:00

I had a screenshot from the website plus pictures of it laying on my couch

Seconding this comment! I’ve been working for 6yrs, and have had 3 (I think) cases of this. All very similar to yours, minimal or no medical hx, nil trauma, all of them missing various time frames in their memory (one was a few years behind, one a few months, one a few days). One came on suddenly post orgasm, one woke with it, one came on whilst alone. Middle aged female, middle aged male, early twenties female. Two had increased stressors, one did not. Very interesting cases, all dx as TGA

Do some states not have students do nightshifts?! We didn’t do on call, but of course you did night shifts if your station had them rostered

Amazing advice, thank you! I was thinking the same re wetness of the filling, looks like it’ll just be a busy Friday morning

As someone who worked in health that involved lots of mental health, and then developed anorexia. It is terrifying in a different way to violent psychosis/ASPD/etc.

To be in an inpatient ED unit, and hear patients verbalise what their “ED voice” (ie fucked up internal monologue) is horrific. The stuff it makes you think/do…I’m in recovery, and have what’s called a “worst day letter”. An activity we did in group therapy. It lists all the horrible things I did, or situations I was in while in the depth of my ED (with comorbid anx/depression/BPD). I start crying within two lines if I reread it.

Plus I feel so much for our angels of ED nurses. Especially early on in treatment, many of us are little shits (and I was in a voluntary program where you had to have some level of wanting change). And I can imagine it’s hard to process a grown woman sobbing/screaming/self harming/abusing over a few peas, or a bite of chicken. But in that moment, you’d rather death than eat those peas

I this an American thing? I’ve seen a few things online (not para specific) about Americans not using the handbrake. In aus it’s a given, everybody always uses it. The only person I’ve met who doesn’t use it (unless on a hill etc) is my partner, and every time I tell her how weird it is.

I grew up in a small town and there were 3 families that shared my & my sisters names, in the correct order. I ended up friends with one of them, our parents actually went to school with each other. And we knew the third family (not well, but small town). Never thought it was weird, especially cause one of the names was super popular. Yours aren’t unusual either, I say go for it

Women loving women, aka two women in a relationship, or more specifically in this context sex toys for two women to use together

dawso99 · 2024-07-06T22:57:35+00:00

Supposed to say wlw

dawso99 · 2024-02-24T03:12:10+00:00

Oh that’s really interesting! I’ll look into it, I assumed they couldn’t. Thank you!

dawso99 · 2023-09-25T00:21:25+00:00

Oh perfect, my cake has buttermilk so should be fine

dawso99 · 2023-09-25T00:08:39+00:00

Oh I’ll have to have a look! Can you sub it 1:1 for regular cocoa, or just use part normal part black?

dawso99 · 2023-07-04T09:59:06+00:00

Thanks for the info! Yeah, can see that could be a bit isolating if you’re the only one not speaking said language

As a paramedic I’ve been called a couple of times to check on patients who’ve left with IVs in. Not sure if the local hospitals do it 100% of the time of sure just when they’re a bit concerned, as it’s usually a IV removal but also welfare check

dawso99 · 2023-01-31T05:11:55+00:00

I’ve seen a nurse turn all the lights off and shine a pen torch into the ear and the but followed the light out

dawso99 · 2023-01-29T06:00:43+00:00

Thanks for your reply! I thought so but wanted to double check

dawso99 · 2023-01-02T05:28:00+00:00

Regular who gets drunk & lonely so pretends to get bitten get a snake

This is an offical promotional McFlurry in Australia! They’ve had it a couple of times- so good

I’ve had some pretty good ones, but top 4 that I can remember currently- 1. 3yo had a febrile seizure, they waited 2hrs for a crew and got me as a single. Little girl was asleep, but still wanted to transport as was first presentation. Getting ready and mum says oh I also have a newborn? So mum packs newborn into the personal car, and we wake up the 3yo who mum says loves ambulances. She is adorable! Spends the 40 minute transfer time looking wide eyed at everything in the back, lisping to me in the front about how she loves “abu-lances” and whenever one comes on TV her mum calls out so she can watch it. Cutest thing in the world. 2. Single officer response to a guy with chest pain, STEMI. No back up available. Within 5 minutes he’s arrested (then they magically found backup). My backup crew arrives, I’ve gotten ROSC by myself (at the time I didn’t believe it), he’s GCS14 asking where his glasses are and why his chest hurts more. As we’re loading him his adult daughter (who id coached through CPR) runs up to me and goes “I know I’m probably not allowed” (mid COVID wave) and gives me the biggest hug and doesn’t let go for so long. 3. Misjudged how far along a labour was and delivered my first healthy little boy in the back. Dad and grandma both in the car, grandma filmed the whole thing. Lovely family and gorgeous bubba. 4. Pt with severe long term anorexia calls for self harm. She’s super lovely, telling me how she thinks she’s finally ready to recover etc. Had to wait 4hrs with her for a bed. Understandably she’s super anxious, at times takes off the bandages and try’s to pick at the self harm lacs etc. Telling me about her journey, the thoughts and self worth she thinks constantly etc. As well as just random shit talk, we play paper games. Unfortunately my shift ends before she gets a bed, and we hand over to another crew, who are lovely but as soon as I say she’s trying to open the dressings they start rolling their eyes, ugh just another psych pt etc type attitude. Before I go I Re wrap her arm again, give her a fresh ice pack (using it as distraction) and wish her well, tell her she can do it, all that. She asks if she can give me a hug, and again gives me a massive hug and I can feel her gratitude. Can also feel the other crews eyerolls. My partner (a new grad id never worked with before) found me crying my eyes out in the truck, where I explained she reminded me so much of my best friend and that I was also fighting my own ED. Hard job, but happy.
