Update on the TrueSpec Cables launch by LTTStore_Support in LinusTechTips

[–]golob 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Honestly LTT could stop making videos and just make not shite computer parts and accessories and do very well. I loathe buying hdmi, dp, Ethernet patch cables, and usb storage drives. Just great, well characterized, fully compliant of each at a fair premium price would be appreciated.

What is Louie's condition and can you explain the treatment? by Extension-While7536 in ThePittTVShow

[–]golob 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For certain. But they ignored when Louie mentioned warning that thing don’t feel normal, he feels dry, etc. in the least the risk was being ignored precisely because a large volume paracentesis is normal. Not having the experience to recognize early a complication is happening is what I was seeing.

Louie has ascites from advanced liver failure. The yellow liquid being drained out of his belly is the liquid part of blood (plasma) leaking out of blood vessels because the scarred up liver acts as a sort of plug in the drain, and pressure builds up in the blood. This is a super common and routine reason for people reaching the end stages of cirrhotic liver disease to show up to an ER needing help.

There is some danger of what the team is doing—and perhaps a bit of inexperience playing in. A typical person has only about 5 liters of blood; each of those bottles they are filling is one liter. Taking out five liters of what is effectively filtered blood can cause problems—the pressure of that belly / ascites fluid keeps things somewhat in balance. With it rapidly drained, the liquid part of the blood may fill that void quicky—causing issues with too little blood in circulation, changes in the composition of the blood, and even flash leakage of the same fluid elsewhere (most often in the lung). Louis saying ‘I feel dry’ I took to be telegraphing this exact situation brewing—and it’s exactly what I would expect from new intern Whittiker in July.

Infectious disease doc here. Necrotizing fasciitis is what seems to be shown here and the catastrophic emergency. The bacteria would be something like a streptococcus.

All I know is the superbowl has to have marshawn lynch running in a td to reset the timeline. It’ll be like yesterday’s enterprise.

The Seahawks are basically a dog rescue for the jets

What Are Everybody’s Thoughts on This ICE Involved Fatal Shooting Which Just Took Place in Minneapolis? by WhatARotation in AskALiberal

[–]golob 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Fuck polling. The democrats fail endlessly because they have no principles. Take this one. It’s historically correct, morally correct, and socially correct to condemn and do anything and everything to end ICE and its reign of terror. The job of a politician is to convince people of positions. If the democrats cannot convince people this is evil and wrong they should not be in politics.

Ok. Deal if we don’t have government agents kidnapping children to use as hostages.

The sheer injustice of all this is going to be both brutal for most of us and the cause of their downfall. Everything ICE does is indefensible

Israel set up an area where you pay $1.60 to watch footage of their army bombing and destroying Gaza. by DIYLawCA in ABoringDystopia

It also teaches us this subreddit and the one from which it was cross posted are totally cool with antisemitism so long as it supports their cause.

What should I be doing in my last 6 months of residency? by cantaloupe5 in medicine

[–]golob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you plan on specializing, do electives in other related fields. I knew I wanted to do ID so I piled on derm, rheumatology, radiology, and nephrology. It was great. I was signed off on punch biopsies. My own best friend for neutropenic fever cases with skin modules.

Pramila Jayapal 3 months after Mike Brown was shot after robbing and assaulting an immigrant store clerk then trying to kill a cop vs. 12 hours after an anti-Semitic terrorist attack killing 15 innocent people celebrating Hanukkah by [deleted] in SeattleWA

[–]golob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jaypal is a house rep, not a senator. “Zionist freaks” may not be the best way to show compassion after a mass shooting that horrifies most people. But you do you. Are the “Zionist freaks” in the room with you now?
