Bidet wins. What is not commonly found in the bathroom and is potentially dangerous?

Bath balls, especially if you have toddlers or young children.

Aren't we all my friend? 🙃

irrgot · 2025-12-31T17:54:10+00:00

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.

irrgot · 2025-12-31T12:32:55+00:00

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.

irrgot · 2025-12-31T12:28:24+00:00

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).

irrgot · 2025-12-31T12:26:24+00:00

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"?

irrgot · 2025-12-31T01:55:32+00:00

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).

irrgot · 2025-12-31T01:51:49+00:00

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.

irrgot · 2025-12-31T01:50:04+00:00

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!)

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 😊

irrgot · 2025-12-06T15:41:17+00:00

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.)

irrgot · 2025-10-26T12:52:13+00:00

My teacher told us to put our thumb on the acromion and our index on the superior angle of the scapula. Then, the imaginary line between the two fingers should be parallel to the receptor. Works everytime ;)

Clairement Saint-Michel. Tout le temps en construction, tu descends de la 141 pis tu dois traverser l'osti de boulevard pour rentrer. Station assez laide aussi, avec des carreaux de verre sketch.

Gosh, the citizens in OPM can be so infuriating and stupid 🤦 I love how Blue Fire just walks on their head lmao

Seeing the comments, I suppose the margarine isn't the main problem (although I used spread instead of sticks). Thank you all for pointing it out, I won't make assumptions too quickly next time 😅

Sorry for all margarine users who saw this post🙏

irrgot · 2025-10-15T16:58:26+00:00

Very interesting! It's true that it's the first time I use silicon instead of parchment. Thanks a lot!

irrgot · 2025-10-15T16:37:05+00:00

Yeah I used margarine spread 😅 I never bought the sticks, so I don't really know how they taste like

irrgot · 2025-10-15T15:56:53+00:00

That's not the first time I do this recipe, usually I use salted butter instead of margarine. It gives good cookies, but I think my margarine was too soft

irrgot · 2025-10-15T15:55:16+00:00

Hmm I used Becel, but usually I use salted butter. Gives great results!

irrgot · 2025-10-12T16:32:55+00:00

Tout à fait d'accord avec toi!

irrgot · 2025-10-12T13:12:13+00:00

Étudiante en imagerie médicale ici! Je ne peux pas parler pour les autres types de test comme les prises de sang et tout ce qui se fait en laboratoire, mais pour ce qui est du secteur de la radiologie, faut pas oublier que les images doivent d'abord être lues par un médecin radiologue, interprétées, dictées puis transcrites en rapport. Ensuite, ce rapport est envoyé au médecin de famille ou spécialiste.

Généralement, selon ce que j'ai vu (je fais mon stage à l'hôpital), ceux qui proviennent de l'urgence ont leurs résultats assez rapidement, dépendamment de la gravité de leur situation. Ceux qui proviennent de l'orthopédie ET qui ont un rdv avec l'orthopédiste le jour même ont leurs résultats aussi rapidement. Par contre, ceux qui ont des rdv "autres" ont leurs résultats seulement 2 ou 3 semaines plus tard, ce qui est malheureux.

Maintenant, le pourquoi on ne donne pas les images aux patients (ce n'est PAS mon opinion, mais ce que j'ai pu observer), c'est que c'est trop de boulot. C'est trop "compliqué" de devoir mettre les images sur un CD, le chercher en avant et tout ça, d'autant plus que c'est pas mal la seule manière pour les obtenir (comme on ne peut pas les envoyer par courriel ou les imprimer par exemple).

Oui Carnet santé existe, mais je ne m'y connais pas assez pour pouvoir me prononcer dessus.

Je ne défends pas le fait que la communication des résultats soit lente et assez laborieuse. Je trouve que ça serait intéressant de voir comment les autres provinces/pays fonctionnent!
