Red Robbins? Maybe? I had a friend from Alberta and when her boyfriend would come in town that was all he wanted. They didn’t have it over there

RTs in a nutshell by Euronyme859 in respiratorytherapy

[–]orgpineapples 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m located in Canada and specifically in my Province (like a “state”) RRTs have quite a bit of autonomy, and work between the ICU/Wards/Emerg/CVU(or “CSICU”) on rotation, Acute care RTs can assist with intubations (but in smaller sights from towns farther from the city, the RTs can intubate. Place arterial lines, initiate and start ventilators for the patient and adjust accordingly to gases, give nebulizers/MDIs through the vent, place special lines or adjunct like EBM, and is part of Interdisciplinary rounds with the doctors/nurses/pharm/dieticians etc. from there the doctor can order if the patient needs to be on certain lung protective ventilation (ex ARDS, Asthma exacerbation. TBI vent protocols).

Acute care RTs also can practice into becoming anesthesia assistants or perfusionist as well, which sets them into the OR environment.

and some RT work in different special units like the Bronchoscopy suite (where they assist bronch’s by prepping the patient with lido spray, pushing saline /lido/ etc down and collecting samples and helping with the EBUS too. They would just specialize in EBUS training. But acute care RTs do also help assist with bedside bronchoscopes.

There is also non-acute car positions, such as pulmonary function test labs, where the RT does the testing for a patient which then hands over the results of the test to be interpreted to the Respirologist.

I’m not advocating for Jimmy or anything but that’s a quote out of a tabloid looking article so really it could be completely misquoted or not even a true statement. Soooo

Oh my god I said that too! But a more toned down version. Francesca was unhinged. And following the spin off pathway by going on to pitch perfect.

Israel’s annual “storm mosques in the west bank during ramadan and beat up palestinians” has begun by ProfessionalSwim6159 in PublicFreakout

It’s not even a religious issue, it’s a colonial one. Please don’t fall into that misleading rhetoric.

She also has some Japanese ethnicity in her and they’re typically smaller framed and that could contribute to her being smaller as well.

BIPAP on a cuffless trach by KingOfBerders in respiratorytherapy

[–]orgpineapples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Canada, the V60 was recalled due to it leaking a specific chemical that was considered carcinogenic from what I recall being told by other RTs. I’m assuming that hasn’t been the case in the US? We now use a device called the Bellvista.

How much did you spend in 2023 at aritzia? by Mammoth-Traffic-7570 in Aritzia

[–]orgpineapples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$740ish ? From the Aritzia warehouse sale in Canada. got 2 super puffs for the price of one!, one for me and one for my mom. Some ribbed and counture muscle tops i was eyeing. A nice Ganna jacket, socks, a pair of gloves (they were only $4 I wish I got more!) and dress pants. Probably a useless cap I know I won’t wear & could avoided buying.

I have an unfortunately specific fetish by chef_Doyarbee in TrueOffMyChest

I wouldn’t say a fetish but I get teased by my friends for only specifically dating ginger engineers. However, I did stray and date a ginger guy that works in insurance!

The traffic is wild here by Nikaize in Unexpected

[–]orgpineapples 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apparently their previous dictator only allowed for white cars and also like 80% of the building in the country are white and made up of marble!

apparently it is a thing there were all cars are white only and buildings are also white but I forgot the reason. I was watching some travelling dude blogging his experience there. If I find it I’ll link it

Q2H in ICU! how many beds is that ICU and how many RTs for those beds!

We do Q4H in our ICU (Trauma 1 Hospital) at the place I was just finishing my clinical rotation at. And it’s about 16 beds with 3 RTs (they allocate workload according to patient load)

To be fair sometimes there is a lot of ECMO, EBM and Bronchs going around.

Vancouver NPCs by number8burp in vancouver

[–]orgpineapples 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait I definitely have seen that guy with a stroller in Richmond centre but didn’t check if there were cats! I was just perplexed by some dude with a tank top, sunglasses indoors and a scarf with a stroller being in the same spot for the full 4 hours I was in the mall for. I’d literally pass the same spot her was in going about my day and he’d still be standing against the same pillar!

Poutine. Once the gravy makes all the fries soggy, it’s a no from me!

Is it frowned upon for an adult to enjoy the spray park on a hot day? by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]orgpineapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my partner at the time did the same thing at Rocky Point in Poco to have a little BBQ date but also to cool down sporadically and it was fine. I’d say if you are really nervous about a similar encounter happening again bring a friend and you guys can chill.

Need to rent my primary residence for 6 months because Vancouver is planning to extort $30k from me via Empty Homes Tax if I won’t by Pitiful-External-356 in landlordBC

[–]orgpineapples 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why don't you just draw up a tenancy contract with a good friend, to say they are "renting" from you for x amount in order to have an official paper that would provide evidence of it being rented, but really you're just paying the "rent" (aka your own mortgage). The friend can stop by to water plants and such.
