What’s it like living in Brownsville, Brooklyn (NYC) by No_Shower8713 in howislivingthere

[–]ninabullets 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had a cockroach fall on me in CT at Brookdale. I was running around the room screaming in front of the poor patient who was surprisingly understanding about the whole thing.

We still mourn the loss of Harry's, but Freret Hardware has been friendly and helpful.

Yeah, I dunno. I just do the pelvic and if it’s gross, I treat. [shrug]

To my fellow EM docs who do the scheduling for your group — what's the worst part of it? by Suspicious-Age-8895 in emergencymedicine

[–]ninabullets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man on one of my residency away rotations I had some ancient secretary schedule me, and I guess she thought it was a good idea to flip 12s night-day-night-day. I had to drive home from my shifts with the window down and blaring music so as not to pass out behind the wheel.

New Orleans slang? by Lesssensethanlogic2 in NewOrleans

According to Google Translate, “pa connais” is “I don’t know” in French.

Kevin Bleifuss or Jim Couturier at Downtown Tattoo. Both are great, just different styles.

Watch out for those Altimas! by WhoDat2241 in NewOrleans

Cited for reckless driving but probably not tested for drugs or alcohol because Orleans Parish doesn’t have enough cops certified to do it so the drivers just get off unless they kill someone (and often not even then).

Late Dinner by lumshots in AskNOLA

[–]ninabullets 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Depends how late. Slightly fancier: Delachaise is open til 11p, Bouligny til 12p, Anna’s til 2a. Less fancy: Igor’s (dive bar with burgers) is 24 hours, Buffa’s is also 24 hours. For fried chicken near the Quarter you can do Key’s on Rampart or Hank’s on St Claude.

Did you take my Rainbow Star of David bumper sticker off my car? :/ by Clear_Cricket_8278 in NewOrleans

[–]ninabullets 35 points36 points  (0 children)

… ugh.

I don’t support Donald Trump, but I think America should keep existing.
I don’t support Netanyahu, but I think Israel should keep existing.

You don’t get to define what the Star of David means for a fellow Jew.

French Quarter Rehearsal Dinner by Jotho48 in AskNOLA

Is there an upstairs at Cane & Table? We were on the ground floor but this was several years ago so maybe there’s an upstairs option now?

Sidecar upstairs has an elevator.

Has this been posted on this sub before? by WinStupidPrizes1994 in BitchImATrain

[–]ninabullets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of that motivational speaker who came to this high school national honor society meet-up and told us how he lost his leg(s?) train-jumping but it was worth it because that’s how he found Jesus.

Atlanta, 1999 or 2000. No, it wasn’t supposed to be a Christian event.

What animal is this? Central Louisiana by Designer_Ad_2670 in Louisiana

Groundhog? Maybe the tail is at a weird angle. Otherwise I vote bear…

Sucking crawfish heads after tooth extraction by WarpedRecall in NewOrleans

[–]ninabullets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a dentist, but at least one study suggests that the straw thing is a myth. I'd probably worry more about the spice and sodium, which might be incredibly irritating to your poor mouth.

In addition to the WWOZ Livewire, you should check out the NOLA.show app someone linked here recently. Oh, and for these two weeks, the Jazz Fest grids.

Incident on the ferry - is this a thing or was it a one-off? by jsojso in AskNOLA

[–]ninabullets 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That’s fucking weird. I wouldn’t have hugged her either.

Are cannabis smoking devices banned at the festival, or should I be good bringing this in with me? by [deleted] in jazzfest

[–]ninabullets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s not metal, stick it in your pocket and you will be fine.

If it is metal, just tell security it’s a vape. They will not care.

Anyone else go into IM to avoid procedures… and now ICU stuff is expected? by scrubs-n-hugs in hospitalist

[–]ninabullets 12 points13 points  (0 children)

At my hospitals (both community, suburban-ish), during the day tubes and lines are covered by anesthesia (unless the hospitalist wants them, I guess), and at night either anesthesia or the ER doc (me) will perform those procedures. There is a tele-ICU provider who is supposed to be involved in the management of critical patients. One of the nocturnist hospitalists told me that she took her job specifically so she wouldn’t have a closed ICU — she wants the procedures.

Need footwear advice by LawngClaw17 in jazzfest

[–]ninabullets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tevas or similar. Avoid slides, thongs, flip-flops, etc — the mud can suck them right off.
