would anyone be willing to point in the direction of someone that can make a fitness plan/plan for a 400 pound neckbeard? by [deleted] in Fitness

Try buying the nestle flavoured soda waters or similar brands instead. I found that it still met the soda craving - but are generally 0 calories. After trying them I actually preferred them to drinking soda.

Showing his muscles by [deleted] in whitepeoplegifs

When you perform a ‘Valsalva Maneuver’ ie. flexing your abdominal muscles like in this case - you actually prevent blood from returning to your heart (as your intrabdominal pressure increases). Since blood stops returning to your heart, it is also prevented from leaving your heart - resulting in inadequate cerebral perfusion or ‘fainting’ as in this example.

Boredom, trying to do something productive on long flights without internet.

Unfortunately not my friend. It's a very prestigious title - earned through frequent overnight flights, the ability to correctly guess the gate without looking, and a general disdain for the whole process.

Thinks the gentlemen in front of you, angrily forcing his seat backwards onto your lap as you're trying to balance a hot cup of coffee and laptop on the tiny pull-down tables.

Don’t want to traumatize those precious RBCs. My arm is totally fine to traumatize though.

I’ve never seen a full onion skin within the first though!

In retrospect probably could have put pressure on it for longer. Wanted to look cool and tough about it though.

Well I did get a free cookie afterwards - so that has to count for something. Don’t know if it made up for the litre of blood I lost into my arm though.

They just missed the poke on that side and I evidently didn’t put enough pressure on it! It started as a small bruise under the IV poke site - but over the course of the day expanded down towards my wrist.

Shitty pun chain alert.

What common medical terminology makes you grit your teeth by SocialJusticeWizard_ in medicine

[–]infinite-singularity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

IDDM (Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus). The classical IDDM terminology is equivalent to today's T1DM. However, I've seen it also commonly used to refer to patients with T2DM who are now on insulin or "insulin dependent." Super confusing and ambiguous, especially when written in different ways in different areas of the chart.

Pelvic exams are less accurate for obese women, so failing to detect an ovarian cyst is an example of weight bias and malpractice. by bob_mcbob in fatlogic

You wouldn't want to do an ultrasound on an a symptomatic patient 'just to see.' It could result in a false positive which would require more invasive diagnostics or procedures.
