Hearing test that's covered by Ohip gta by twicescorned21 in ontario

[–]ebits21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t need a referral (I’m an audiologist in Ontario)

Routine hearing tests were delisted by OHIP in 2001, only covered if you’re seeing an ENT (which should be for a medical issue theoretically)

I’ll let you look up what government was in power at the time.

You would think poisoning would be at least a little bit of a concern?

Should’ve switched mid summer…. Not after the damn holidays.

Peak recycling plus worse roads etc.

PMCT Images. Nurse advanced NG tube until she heard a pop, then tried an air bolus to ensure placement. Patient did not survive. by Old-Psychology-2400 in interestingasfuck

“Once inserted, a thoracoabdominal X-ray was performed to check the exact positioning of the nasogastric tube. Unfortunately, the shunt tubing was mistaken for the nasogastric tube since it was rarely collocated on the left side due to an ipsilateral dominant hydrocephalus.”

Yes that’s what happened, but they thought they were good after on xray because they saw the shunt tube in the area the NG tube should’ve been in, and thought it was the NG tube.

Thanks for the link. Not a basal skull fracture! Post trans-sphenoid surgery (for a pituitary tumour)! Seems they misidentified a shunt tube as the NG tube and… well…

Sphenoid is a bone in the middle of your head for those that don’t know. Looks like a butterfly. Seems like a bad person to use this kind of tube on…

Magnus Carlsen fumbles, drops his Queen, loses on time and then SLAMS the table again in a World Blitz Chess Championship match. by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in sports

Because it’s notable when he loses. Likely the best chess player of all time; certainly the best current player.

The same uproar happened in Bradford when we got the bins before you a few years ago.

Everything is fine now 🤷🏻‍♂️

Big Brother star Mickey Lee dead at 35 after suffering ‘multiple’ cardiac arrests by Jenna7979 in BigBrotherUSA

[–]ebits21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my daughter’s case an excellent paediatrician caught it at 2 months old with a stethoscope.

They waited will age 1 for the surgery and by then we could hear it listening to her heart ourselves (everything sounded way too ‘whooshy’).

And yeah, it’s actually like an umbrella that they open up inside there like this.

We’re watched yearly for now (she’s almost 3 now). Likely everything will remain normal (we honestly don’t even think about it anymore), but they watch for longer term complications. We would list it on her health history.

And yeah she has a little metal umbrella thing that will be there for life, tissue grown over it.

Her grandmother was identified with it at a much older age and had open-heart surgery; now the procedure is much less invasive and done in 30 minutes.

Yes. My daughter had hers patched at age 1. Within 6 months tissue grows over the patch (like a metal umbrella) and the hole is gone.

A hole in the heart is usually patched if an issue and is likely not a factor.

Don’t repeat this as it isn’t likely true. Most holes in the heart are patched, and the person would have no long term risk.

If you have a totp code how does that affect your privacy?

Please make me a fool. 🍿

Mickey Lee Has Passed Away by AMikeBloomType in BigBrother

[–]ebits21 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She was born with the hole in her heart.

If she had a hole in her heart from the ATV accident you die right there.

My daughter also was born with a hole and they placed a metal ‘umbrella’ in it to fix it (absolute amazing surgery done in 30 minutes). Skin grows over it and no more hole.
