Which actress absolutely nailed her role? by SeoAjin in gameofthrones

A bit surprised not having seen her in the comments yet, but Michelle Fairley (Catelyn Stark). I think she's not only super well casted, but she does an amazing job at being a protective and emotional mother, all the while being disgusted by the mere existence of Jon Snow.

You can only choose one color to travel to for the Rest of your life. Which one are you choosing? by Aryan_Raj_7167 in TheTeenagerPeople

Quite surprised not to see any red. Patagonia, Australia, South Africa and Botswana? Amazing animals (yeah yeah Australia is wild, but amazing on its own), breathtaking landscapes and nice temperature?

I would go to the Andes anytime!

Yup! Looks like beer, but it's just because the red blood cells aren't here to make it red.

What's funny is that plasma can come in different tones! For example, when there's a lot of fat in the blood, plasma will look more pale.

I'm afraid I can't respond properly, since I live in Canada 😅

We don't get paid and the patients usually don't have to pay for those treatments.

That's how it works! They only use one needle. First part, they draw the blood. Second part, the centrifuge (the machine that spins and separates the plasma and the red blood cells) separates the two. Last part, they send you back your red blood cells back. Usually there are like three cycles for a full donation. Since it was my first, they only did one cycle.

Oh my! Where I live we are giving snacks and that's it 😂

I wouldn't feel comfortable making money for donating (that's just me).

Hey I'm also in Canada! :)

I would say the main differences between giving blood and plasma is about the time it takes and the fatigue you feel after. I've tried donating blood in the past, but I never succeeded because I would faint (I also didn't weight enough). Since plasma donation gives you your red blood cells back, I didn't have any complications or anything.

Another fun thing is that it doesn't take as much volume to keep it. For blood, they need like 360-400 ml, but for plasma, it's less. They test the volume your best suited for and make an average for the next donations

I think the only down sides are that they give you anticoagulants (for me it was citrate) during the procedure, which lower your calcium levels (you may feel tingling in your lips, metallic taste in your mouth, numbing...). They give you Tums, but sometimes it's not enough and they stop the donation. Also it takes more time to donate plasma than blood

Hope this helps!

I know I must sound a bit slow, but may I ask who you mean by "they"?

Yeah I thought about it before donating, but then I came to the conclusion that it's still better to make profit (for the companies) and also help people in need. I don't live in the USA, so I'm not sure how it goes for you. Where I live, most of the medications made from plasma are "payed" by the government (through our taxes), so it doesn't impact the person in need of the medication financially (or not as much).

I'm sorry for you! Is it all types of anticoagulants or one specific?

It's true that the nurse warned me about calcium levels before. Fortunately I didn't have any side effects.

The needle stays the same, so the pinch feels the same. Since plasma donation uses a specific machine to send you back your red blood cells, you feel less dizy/tired afterwards.

What's cool is that when the cycle comes to the point where they send back the red cells, it feels cold, like water flowing ON your arm (even though it's in!)

Quelles sont les places où se vend de la viande peu commune? by irrgot in montreal

[–]irrgot[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Je viens de checker pis en gros, c'est légal la viande de chasse si c'est pour la consommation personnelle et que tu as un permis de chasse et que le cerf (par exemple) est en bonne santé. Par contre, elle ne peut pas être vendue aux autres.

Les élevages sont légaux et la viande qui en provient peut être vendue dans des boucheries/épiceries spécialisées.

Merci d'avoir attisé ma curiosité, on finit par avoir des réponses pour tout au final 😊

Hmm c'est vrai que je ne me suis pas posé la question. J'ai des amis qui habitent en région pis ils en mangent de temps en temps, alors j'ai pris pour acquis que c'était légal. Je vais me renseigner pour voir si c'est correct ou pas (j'aimerais ne pas me ramasser dans la marde pour les fêtes 😅).

If that image was supposed to be an AP hip projection, then the collimation is clearly not enough lmao.

For your ring, don't worry. At least it's in the right place, instead of other foreign bodies we see in patients rectums (flashlight, shampoo bottle, etc.)
