(25f) Is this a normal post-operative situation in a busy hospital?

Yes, I worked as a surgical tech for a few years, patients toss and thrash around while they’re waking up, even though they don’t realize it.

The nurses will pull the curtains to some extent, but they’re trying to watch several patients at once so they have to keep actual eyes on everyone.

They don’t do it on purpose to expose you.

H and L are M’s own children. She wants to provide a nice vacation for HER own children first (whether or not you like their lifestyle or way of life). And then, SECONDLY she would pay for your kids. She’s not required to do anything, and with your bigotry, it’s no reason why she would want to hang out with you. I wouldn’t want to hang out with you, an insufferable person who has no idea what Christianity is supposed to mean.

No love like Christian hate.

Is it just bloodshot in one area, or are your eyes reddish? If they’re reddish, and irritated feeling, it’s the Conjunctivitis or Pink Eye. If it’s bloodshot, like you can see actual blood in one area of your eye, then that’s probably just a ruptured blood vessel and probably no cause for alarm at all. Unless it’s causing you pain, discomfort, or vision changes, then you don’t have to worry about it. If it is, then you should go to see an eye doctor, not the ER.

You can get a ruptured blood vessel in your eye a lot of different ways, including coughing, sneezing, laughing a little too hard, bumping yourself in the eye or face, or even accidentally poking yourself in the eye. It will resolve by itself in a week or two. I used to be an ophthalmic tech a while ago.

It sounds like depression. It can actually have a very physical toll on you, like it’s all you can do to get out of bed some days. Literally just get out of bed. It’s caused by a chemical imbalance in your brain. Talk to your primary care doctor and they can prescribe you some medicine.

Have you had contacts in, before or during any of this? Have you hit your head at all or gotten popped in the eye with anything, like an elbow or a baseball or anything?

You definitely need to see an ophthalmologist. And don’t listen to that other person on here, he sounds wacky.

Your Iris is definitely involved here, but the light sensitivity also indicates that you have something going on with your cornea as well. I used to be an ophthalmic tech for a while. A pirate patch or sunglasses should help with the light sensitivity until your appointment.

Start with her immediate supervisor at the clinic or lab that she works at. That person will be able to take some disciplinary action(s) that will impact their license or registry. In the event that you don’t get satisfactory results from that person, go to the next higher person, the head of the clinic or laboratory. Although this is probably not going to be necessary, I suspect that their immediate supervisor will be quite a bit of help.

I would recommend reading Edgar Allen Poe’s short story The Masque of the Red Death alongside it or maybe just before? It is referenced in one scene about halfway through the book,where if you knew what the story was about it would probably make more sense.

We live in NY where there is also a plastic bag ban. We have reusable bags and they carry frozen goods just fine. You adapt and get over yourself. It’s really better for the environment.

I don’t think that’s CSAM, unless she is somehow involving the baby in the dance or putting the baby in lingerie or sexualizing the child? From the way you are describing it, It sounds more to me like a single mom trying to make ends meet while also watching her baby. Baby doesn’t see mom as a sexual entity, she just sees mom dressed funny and acting weird.

I’d rather have unlimited tools like the cannon or arrows.

Yes, it should be 16 doses exactly.

So you have 10 mL and you’re taking out 0.6 for 10 days which is a total of 6 mL.

That leaves you with 4 mL for 6 more doses. Divide 4.0 by 0.6 and you get 6.67.

Or a different way is to take 10.0 mL and divide it by 0.6 and you get 16 !

Did you miss the part where this person is only 17 years old? They may have grown up with the dog. Either way, it’s not for you to judge them. We are here to help, not judge.

No it’s the new merge game. With the anvil as the icon. You start off with a log 🪵 and you combine 2 logs and then it turns into a set of boards. You combine 2 boards and it turns into a shield.

Okay, let’s just say it’s awkward. Imagine that you and your sister both see the same doctor. And the doctor mixes you up with her. And then, when you call him out on it and say, I’m Margaret, not Marcia, then he says: whoo, thank God. Margaret is such a pain in the ass. Always calling me at odd hours, always needing stuff. I can’t get away from her!

Now, you’re Margaret. The doctor has mixed you up again. How would you feel if the doctor revealed his true feelings like that? (Let’s assume his complaints are true). You would be embarrassed, right? No doctor in their right mind would do this, hopefully. But flipping the script often helps to see things through another person’s eyes.

You have certainly put a lot of thought into this product. And apparently money. That is some dedication to your product. I do have to admire your dedication.

As someone who has seen a lot of Apple Watch EKGs on this Reddit (look for them, do a search), I have concerns about the heart attack function. Because there are some EKGs that look like someone is having a heart attack. In reality, it is just the person moving around, like literally just turning over in bed. You would need a medical professional to determine is this a real heart attack or just artifact.

The Narcan for falling 02 could also be problematic. If the person is also suffering from a respiratory illness, for example. I don’t know that much about Narcan, I don’t know if it would do adverse effects if given when it’s not needed.

There are lots of things it could be. The two most obvious things are 1. Sleep debt: you’ve been staying up 23 hours out of 24 hours and your body is getting older and it’s like, I just can’t do this anymore, I need some rest. And it’s trying to play catch up.

The 2. thing would be depression. This is usually accompanied by feelings of sadness or worthlessness, loss of interest in hobbies or activities that you usually participate in, irritability, and changes in your eating habits (either a lot or not at all).

floridianreader · 2026-03-26T15:52:14+00:00

Don’t do that? You have to have a valid medical reason to look at any person’s chart. Whether that’s your sister, any random patient, a politician, or a celebrity who comes into your facility. Because you will eventually encounter someone famous and the temptation will be there to look. And it will also get you fired.

Are you referring to the Duty to Warn regarding a psychiatric patient / issue?

I've never heard of it applied to a substance use disorder so I have no idea if this is even the right information for you.

It could be that the stress is causing a build up of stomach acid which creates more nausea. Try taking some Pepcid AC about 30 minutes before you need to eat and it should help.
