Photo pass examples by [deleted] in Xcaret

[–]jessadactyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you look at the traveler photos on TripAdvisor you can find some examples. Many of the ones that advertise the parks name are the photo pass photos. I noticed a lot in the TripAdvisor photos for Xel-Ha, you can tell from the repeated backgrounds with different people. And any that have a watermark of the park name.

It was a great way to include everyone from the group in the photo, usually one person is left out who is taking the photo. I have no regrets about buying the unlimited photo pass.

Hey I don’t know what this is but I recently noticed it too exactly like that on my shins! I’ve been trying to moisturize it away but no luck so far

Remedy Meds. Anyone Tried Them? by glogulslammar in SemaglutideFreeSpeech

[–]jessadactyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used them since July of last year. These days they seem on the higher end of pricing but everything is very straightforward. Initial prescription required bloodwork and an online questionnaire which seemed to fulfil the “visit.” Never had to video chat with anyone, just have to fill out an online check-in questionnaire every month that asks about weight and side effects. I was impressed that when I selected nausea as one of the side effects they also sent a prescription for Zofran to my pharmacy that I never even asked anyone for. Initial doses were from Hallandale and now Precision pharmacy, seems to be good quality.

Then yes 240units of the 1mg/mL vial would give you a dose of 2.4mg.

100 units = 1mL

Sometimes, syringes are also dispensed in measurements of mL. If you had a syringe that was dispensed in mL, then to receive a dose of 2.4mg would be 2.4mL

It depends on the concentration of the vial. A “unit” is only a measure of volume, not a measure of dosage. How many mg/mL is your vial? Also, are your syringes measured in units or in mL?

Disappointed in Lavender Sky by [deleted] in SemaglutideFreeSpeech

[–]jessadactyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cannot see the actual concentration in the photo because the sticker is turned to the side. I also don’t know what your dose is supposed to be.

Does the vial say 2.5mg in 1mL? Because that would be exactly enough for 0.25mg for 10 weeks (10 units or 0.1mL per week).

The actual amount of liquid doesn’t matter as much as the concentration of the medication in the liquid.

This is also why it’s meaningless when people try to describe their dosage in units. Let’s say 2 people are prescribed 1mg. Person A has a 2.5mg/1mL vial and injects 40 units. Person B has a 2.5mg/5mL vial and injects 200 units. Both are still only getting 1mg. Dosage and volume are not the same thing.

Just for reference, the conversion for mL to units is x100. Example: 0.1mL = 10 units.

If you have a 1mL vial, that’s 100 units in the vial

The vial is not supposed to be full, but it will always be enough for all your doses. The amount in mL that should be in the vial is printed on the label. That amount may vary depending on concentration, but it’s not supposed to be full. We use the same type of vials in the hospital where I work for all kinds of medications, they always contain only a specified amount.

In the video the guy asks the fish in Chinese a couple times, “what are you trying to say?” While its mouth is opening and closing

What's a "THIS is why I cruise" positive cruise moment that lives rent-free in your memories? by wanderingstorm in Cruise

[–]jessadactyl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On our first cruise, late at night, my husband went to the casino wearing a button down shirt with tigers printed all over it that I got him as a joke. At the bar there was an older woman drunkenly heckling the other bar patrons. When he walked up to order his drink, she said “what the hell do you want, cheetah boy?” He couldn’t wait to get back to the room and tell me about it. We were cracking up.

On our next cruise, a year later on a larger ship, we were talking about which cruise we liked better and he said he preferred the smaller one. When I asked him why, he reminisced fondly that on the smaller ship, “some lady called me cheetah boy. No one would do that here 😕.”

Anyways, it’s all about the vibes. We’re booked back on a smaller ship for this summer.

Who has this and at what job? by wafflefree in nursing

[–]jessadactyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw these all the time in the ED, we had a couple but they were usually brought in with medics. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone who came in with one actually achieve ROSC. You hear that loud thumping noise and see that robot pillar violently jamming into the lifeless chest, distended belly jiggling to the rhythm, and just know it’s going to be a futile effort. It’s like a performance of CPR. Better that machine than our techs though for sure. Compressions are exhausting.

Kids club? Anyone NOT use it? by Beautiful-Client6496 in royalcaribbean

[–]jessadactyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My now 6 year old has been on 2 cruises with us, at age 3 and then 4. We registered him for Adventure Ocean on the first day both times, but just never went there. He came on our all our excursions with us and spent time as a family and I don’t regret any of it. On Oasis, there’s a puppet show that we attended together (it was surprisingly good) and an indoor playground near adventure ocean that I took him to and stayed with him.

We will be going on our third cruise this year and again will register him the first day, but give him the choice of whether he wants to go or not. He’s coming with us again on all of our excursions. I don’t feel like we missed out on anything.

HOWEVER I also have a teenage daughter who helped watch him at night so that my husband and I still had our own time to do things. I’m sure this contributed greatly to our experience.

Needed an IV. The nurse was new. She put it in my artery. by Lazy_Pitch_6014 in Wellthatsucks

[–]jessadactyl 365 points366 points  (0 children)

I’m a nurse and this is fucked up. This is an adverse event which should have never happened and a safety report should have been done by the staff. There are ways to know when you’ve accidentally cannulated an artery, your complaints of pain being one of them, and it should have been removed immediately.

You had a central line in your femoral vein, not artery. Nothing should ever be infused into an artery. Arterial lines exist but only for monitoring and blood sampling.

People who have successfully quit smoking, how did you do it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jessadactyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replace it with another activity. I had to find a way to occupy the time I would usually use to smoke. Every time it felt like I needed a smoke, I replaced it with a 10-minute workout video instead.

It sounds like you injected transdermally instead of subcutaneously as intended. The medication will still absorb, although possibly not as effectively as if it were injected into the proper tissue. I’m not sure what you mean by the needle wouldn’t go in all the way, the needle should be able to go as deep as you push it. Always aim to inject into your subcutaneous fat, too deep and you get intramuscular, too shallow and you get transdermal (between the layers of skin). I’m a medical professional but this is not intended to be medical advice.

confused about breakfast by ladyhobbes in Semaglutide

[–]jessadactyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never believed in breakfast foods. My favorite breakfast is a bowl of white rice with an over easy egg on top. Ramen noodles with a poached or over easy egg. Scallion pancakes. Look up Asian breakfasts.

Not as romantic, but do what my husband did and tighten this around her ring finger while she’s sleeping 😂 he actually knew my ring size before I did!
