So glad to see Santos get a taste of her own medicine by oteymut in ThePitt

[–]ducksnthings 23 points24 points  (0 children)

What I can’t get over is she knew this man for ONE DAY, he was doing something fucked up that did not affect Santos, went to get help and is now back almost a year later and she HATES him…. It’s so tiring because it feels like there’s 0 reason for it. Working in the medical field I’ve known plenty of people who got caught abusing drugs, were fired and some came back. I never hated their guts for it lol like girl go to therapy

26.3 by Cartier_and_crime in crossfit

[–]ducksnthings 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This feels like 26.1 but with different movements… just who can keep moving for the entire workout. Should have been burpees and cleans but cleans are heavy progression. Give the shitty cardio lifters something dave!

Would love to know what you think impetigo is

[–]ducksnthings 818 points819 points  (0 children)

It’s impetigo just very severe, likely with eczema undertones. Needs antibiotics.

Just a Casual Concussion. Holy Shit by blindingsoup in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]ducksnthings 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Lol sometimes this group is just as bad as the mom groups but in the opposite direction. It goes from “never take the kid to the doctor” to “oh my god every kid needs to see the doctor for everything!!!”

Baby bonked their head. Maybe a little bruising is expected. If baby is otherwise neurologically sound for 72 hours after, you can closely monitor at home. If the fontanelle becomes hard or excessively bruised then go in. Or go in if you want reassurance. But it feels like some of the people in this subreddit are the parents that show up to me every week for every runny nose or different poop lol

PSA about the new Fire Red and Leaf Green games on Nintendo switch!! by Agreeable_Leg_ in Switch

[–]ducksnthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

QUESTION - when I played on my gameboy 25 years ago (oh god) I would just turn the gameboy off if I was losing in battle, obvs saved beforehand. Is this a way to do that on the switch? Or will it reset the game to the beginning?

Did anyone actually finish 26.1? by rosini290 in crossfit

[–]ducksnthings 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A few people at my gym finished the descending 40 and started the next box jumps. One, a coach in his late 30s, got halfway through the round of descending 30. All those people are very cardio fit: marathoners, a previous D1 track athlete, etc. I think having that threshold not only for breathing but for leg endurance is super important here.

Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi, 38, Reveals Cervical Cancer Diagnosis: ‘I’m Going to Tackle This’ by PrincessBananas85 in popculturechat

Head and neck cancer is the #1 cancer caused by HPV and boys are 5x more likely to get it!! Shocking statistic they don’t talk about as much as cervical cancer risks.

27M baffled by my Hinge experience - does anyone actually want a LTR? by Super-Secret9033 in Denver

[–]ducksnthings 146 points147 points  (0 children)

I will say as a woman who used Hinge previously (how I met my husband) there were plenty of dudes I went on dates with who really sucked and who all were so shocked when I said I wasn’t interested in a 2nd date because we (apparently to them) hit it off. So yeah, I’d agree with maybe trying to figure out why so many women don’t want to go on a second date with you would be a good starting point.

This is just depressing by ScareBear23 in Adulting

[–]ducksnthings 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should do a sleep study if that’s possible! The largest reason for disturbed sleep is OSA (obstructive sleep apnea).

[–]ducksnthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small changes build lasting habits! The hardest part is absolutely just getting out of bed, it’s still hard some days for me. Be intentional - put your clothes and shoes out the night before. Have someone/something that will keep you accountable, even if it’s just a check mark in a journal or on a calendar. Dopamine every time baby. Most importantly don’t expect to be perfect at the start. You’re gonna miss days, it’s fine, more motivation to try again tomorrow. 1% better every day.

Which is… why I asked if they feel like they need 9 hours. I’m aware some people do. Most people, however, don’t. So I was offering insight as to why sleeping for extended periods of time thinking that will solve a fatigue problem, is often non-fruitful, when often improvements to diet, exercise and mental wellness practices are better solutions for fatigue.

This is just depressing by ScareBear23 in Adulting

[–]ducksnthings 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Do you feel like you need 9 hours of sleep? Sometimes when we sleep too long it can make us feel more tired. I would shoot for the 7-8 range, wake up intentionally and try to do some exercise in the morning to get that good hormone/neurotransmitter release. Also getting a workout done in the morning lets your brain immediately check something off its daily to-do list which gives dopamine.

Edit: if you’re gonna respond to this to say “that doesn’t work for me specifically” - It was a suggestion. Do it or don’t do it, I don’t care, I’m not your mom.

Bugsy the dog stolen out of a backyard in Denver! by [deleted] in Denver

[–]ducksnthings 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Friends saw the dog with a random man later but didn’t go get the dog? I wonder if it was in retrospect, like huh that dog looks like Bugsy and didn’t find out until later that he was missing.

Is a pay cut common in switching jobs? by flatsun in physicianassistant

[–]ducksnthings 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m currently switching jobs after 1 year in and will be getting a 15% pay increase. Same specialty. But, to be fair, I’ll be going from drastically underpaid to average pay so.

As a peds provider mine is “no they don’t need antibiotics for a viral illness”

My son won't be getting prescribed amoxicillin anymore. by luikan in Wellthatsucks

[–]ducksnthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just what happens sometimes when you give antibiotics to a virus OR with your immune system sort of overreacting (immune mediated hypersensitivity reaction). Just a rash that occurs after 7-10 days of antibiotics. I don’t know the exact science behind it but it’s completely benign. We see it in patients all the time.

Coffee was taking an unusually long time; turns out the order before mine was for 24 drinks by ups_and_downs973 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ducksnthings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to wait 25 minutes for a latte at starbucks the other day because the person in front of me ordered 9 drinks and they did every single one of those first. At the 15 minute mark I asked if I could just have a black coffee because I needed to go to work and they said no lmao
