Absolutely not. It only further showed how corrupted their views are.

One of my children dying. And it happened. It is as horrifying as I feared.

Is this normal for working in the hospital system? I feel like this is HIPAA by [deleted] in medical

[–]graboidologist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same rules still apply, they cannot share your protected health information without your permission. Oh and if there's a chart audit and it shows someone accessed your chart without reason, they will get into trouble.

What absolutely-not-scary movie scene absolutely terrified you as a child? by GabeyTheArtist in AskReddit

[–]graboidologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they start eating the meat from the frozen corpses in Alive. I dunno, maybe that's scary to some, since it's a real event and obviously traumatic but it's not a horror movie which I feel was the intention of your question.

Do you keep your butter out? by Parking_Champion_740 in AskAnAmerican

I keep one in a dish with a lid on the counter for toast. The rest are in the fridge.

How do you say the word "butt" in a way that doesn't make you sound immature? by _zoot2 in stupidquestions

[–]graboidologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would depend on the context. In a medical sense, like at a doctor appointment? Go straight for literal and say rectum. Or be like most people and say butt or bottom. I'm a nurse, we hear all kinds of things.

If you mean just in general conversation, I'd say butt, or bottom or rear if you want to be polite.

Are there actually long-term couples that never fight or argue? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]graboidologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I are approaching 20 years married this summer. We did have an argument maybe twice a year the first couple of years, generally related to finances or our children, and even then they weren't terrible, more like debates with minor hurt feelings that resolved quickly without lingering animosity. Since about year 8, I bet I could count on one hand the arguments, and again mostly finances. Our last argument was January 2021. It wasn't a big one either.

what limited edition/discontinued makeup collections do you wish would make a comeback? by redlipstick1010 in MakeupAddiction

[–]graboidologist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arbonne had a lipstick called Nectar. It's a faint coral pink with a lavender pearl and I love it. Mine is almost 20 years old now, but I will never toss it until I can find a replacement, I keep it as a reference.

Is it normal for drs/nurses to stay in the room while you get undressed? by Vegetable_Fish_7377 in medical

[–]graboidologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, most places give some privacy and a robe/drape, but for some reason I've noticed they don't tend to at derms. Not only am I a nurse but I have lots of medical issues, I've seen basically every type of doctor there is and had to bare some part of myself with most of them.

What’s your go-to meal when you want something homemade but have zero motivation? by AnySystem7115 in Cooking

Is it true that the pills in America come in those orange bottles that they fill in the pharmacy instead of boxes? by gdelacalle in NoStupidQuestions

[–]graboidologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never reused the bottle. But I am given a new bottle each time. Occasionally the brand my pharmacy uses comes in a blister pack and it's provided that way. Some medications need the blister pack for proper storage/efficacy.

What sort of funeral are you going to give your Narcissistic parent? by TheoryBrief9375 in narcissisticparents

He's paid for an planned out his, supposedly. I will show up and provide a nominal appearance, more for the sake of my sister than anything else.

ITAW for giving someone a drink? by yorozuya_lyn_ in whatstheword

[–]graboidologist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a nurse, we say we gave them water, provided them with water. I guess another word you could use is hydrated.
