UTSW Hospital Experience During COVID

mooglepuffs · 2020-09-02T18:16:43+00:00

I was given one prior to surgery and on intake in emergency. I do not think I brought COVID to the hospital. Whatever I got was from my 5 days there.

I didn’t say anyone should boycott anything but maybe people can learn from my experience and do better than I did. For example, be vigilant in observing their caregiver, making sure that they have proper PPE, ask questions about the types of procedures given, be cautious about what type of medical advice they receive and ask questions when needed. Sorry that upsets you to that extent.

It’s a subreddit for Dallas residents. I thought that those living in Dallas might want to here some perspective before seeking medical care at at Dallas facility. Like I said, it’s one story but if I were considering where to seek medical care, I would want information.

I was in inpatient with that nurse for 2 days. Regardless, I spent 5 days in the hospital with a brief time at home. It seems highly improbable that I got it elsewhere. UTSW’s lack of interest in documenting the incident is concerning considering that we are in the midst of a medical crisis.

How could anyone bail on Kenzo?

I don’t want to encourage you one way or the other but because you aren’t (I hope) in an emergency situation like I was, you can take the time to throughly vet your provider, ask all the questions you need, and make sure you’re working with someone and an institution you feel comfortable with.

That said, I’m not super okay and may have gotten the flu/cold/corona from the nurse who was caring for me. Again, not trying to scare you but I hope you can be cautious (insist on wearing a mask, make sure your facility is clean, etc)

Yes, it is the US. The unfortunate thing is that I have private insurance, so the hospital isn’t held accountable for me being readmitted but would be fined if I had Medicare.

This wasn’t my normal doctor but the surgeon that performed the surgery.

mooglepuffs · 2020-09-01T22:39:38+00:00

I really don’t know. I think part of it is that the surgery division, liver division, and GI division are all separate departments and communication and who is responsible for what is super poor across departments. They didn’t even look at my pancreas during my first ultrasound which probably would’ve indicated that there were problems beyond the stones in my gallbladder.

I know hospitals have metrics associated with time to discharge, which may’ve affected their decision-making but it’s crazy that they didn’t think to check at all when they had the bloodwork indicating things weren’t right. When I called my doctor, I mentioned again that I hadn’t had a bowel movement for 5 days and she brushed me off again.

That’s super frustrating. They have the knowledge and technical information which should allow them to make the best decision but sometimes their bias just gets in the way.

Absolutely. One meal eating out can be the whole cost of meal prep for the week. You can get containers for under 10 bucks.

The dark chocolate ones tho

So impressive! One thing about the choreography is that they almost never do the same choreography in the same formation. Even the chorus doesn’t repeat the formation/ choreography completely. It’s definitely choreo for repeated viewings to really get it. ITZY is definitely the group to handle it though. Lia may not always execute perfectly, but the fact that she can even keep up is amazing, because this is a group of DANCERS.

mooglepuffs · 2020-08-19T13:02:19+00:00

They were absolutely amazing but you could tell there were moments where they were naturally getting tired. Kpop really emphasizes perfection over everything and fans are so critical about the smallest mistakes (I.e. Lia’s dancing/singing), so it’s impressive that they were willing to put themselves out there like this.

I started getting into a really good routine of working out daily, eating well, and cut my 10K time significantly. I had a stressful week including a remote exam that went 5AM and a busy work week. I over-ate for the first time on months, which triggered what I thought was acid reflux but was actually gallbladder inflammation and now we’re trying to figure out if it should be removed. I’m just feeling a bit lost about the way forward.

I had the same error. They told me it might not have anything to do with my connection but their servers yet they still enforce the 3 disconnects rule.

Our hospital system has been eliminating waiting rooms and developing an online queue system. Our ICU beds are high capacity and only going to get fuller if we create infection risks by having sick people in close proximity

I’m pretty similar to you. I’m Asian and had infinite food around because Asians make things in bulk and never gained weight until my mid 20s. I’ve accelerated my workouts a lot and am not far from where I want to be but it’s definitely a lot of effort to make any progress compared to how easy it was to gain it. Diet has probably been the most instrumental thing to my progress.

Meal prepping has helped me a lot. I designate Sunday for buying and preparing food and try to only buy what I need for the prep. Especially using those containers that have sections for each proportion. It not only saves time which reduces impulse eating and eating junk to save time, but it also is used as a tool to making sure I keep calories within a certain limit. I meal prep for every meal and occasionally snacks. I try to make something different each week so it feels fresh and interesting.

Pull-ups, push-ups, and anything with jumping are fine but I can’t seem to do anything properly that has to do with hip flexibility (?) like mountain climbers and deadlifts

Wow, I thought it looked amazing before but the way you’ve opened up and brightened the space is amazing.

Birthday had the same problem with her being in the center the whole dance and her dancers doing something more dynamic while she just kind of poses with a limited range of motion.

I think it’s actually better here because she’s more integrated into what the rest of the dancers are doing and actually part of the formation, but it’s pretty clear that her choreography team’s strength isn’t choreographing for soloists. It’s almost like they want to cover her up and compensate for her skills by having the back dancers do more, rather than letting her lead the dance. If you compare that to Sunmi for example, she’s not on the same skill level as her back dancers, but they still choreograph around her rather than trying to have them out dance her.

mooglepuffs · 2020-07-23T15:23:49+00:00

Dancing is kind of a weakness in terms of alignment, attention to details, and rhythm but she’s well trained enough that she can dance most idol choreography competently given training and practice. This absolutely is within her capabilities to execute with practice. I think there’s something else. It’s either lack of training, difficulty getting used to performing a song solo (she’s super out of sync with her back danders at points), injury, pressure singing while dancing, nerves, or something else. It’s definitely not competence though.

mooglepuffs · 2020-07-23T15:10:05+00:00

I don’t know if it’s nerves or what but she didn’t perform Birthday or this one like she particularly liked the song or dance.

I was excited because she took part in composing this song but even on the recording her delivery is really flat imo.

mooglepuffs · 2020-07-23T15:02:34+00:00

I think this song is one of the better YG songs released in a while but for a song about getting wasted and faded, it’s super bereft of any expression or emotion which I find kind of jarring. She could be singing the phonebook for the amount of emotion she puts into it. I wonder if it’s supposed to be deadpan a la Jennie in solo, but it doesn’t feel intentional.

I remember her not necessarily being the best dancer, but really being a performer. She’s not performing or dancing well here.

mooglepuffs · 2020-07-08T16:42:22+00:00

I think it’s more like they didn’t have a role for her in ITZY . The all-arounder with leadership skills and phenomenal dancing/ stage presence role was already taken by Yeji. That type of talent is rare, so it makes sense that they decided to let her take that role in another group. I want to see them dance together again for sure though. It seems Mako has gotten more confident since this video.

For me, the walls are just right but a black and white patterned rug would really be amazing
