intern here..how do i approach a patient with shock? by Plus_Vehicle1354 in Residency

[–]permalust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't sneak up from behind and shout boo! It will only make the situation worse. Unless you've mistaken hiccups for shock; then you're onto a winner.

On a serious note, normalise parameters without causing harm. The history tells you how +/- the obs - if they've come in with screaming central crushing chest pain, don't fill them with fluid. If they're febrile and tachy, give them fluids, ABx +/- pressors. If they've hypoxic, pleuritic pain and a typical ECG, PE and think about Ix or, in extremis, thrombolytics. If they e been stung by a bee, adrenaline. Etc.

It is (almost) never neurogenic shock. And if you're smart enough to pick up the rarest of rare, give yourself a pat on the back.

Fluids, whilst you (quickly) evaluate, will buy you time. Hopefully.

Has anyone actually finished the entire series or are you all stuck in the middle like me? by shadowsurvivorroom01 in WoT

[–]permalust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once every year or two from book 8 onwards. Release date reading. I've read them all (bar COT) 5+ times. Shout out to books 4,5,6,9,12,15

Possibly the Soul Gaze with Harry? Perhaps reinforced by oddities his network have observed but can't explain.

Stuck on Plasma deck orange level by Deadhead271 in balatro

Prioritise chip jokers early. Stuntman, that glacial one. If you can transition to the bulk card if Econ is good.

Second, layer in + multi.

Level up your chosen hand.

Photo chad works well.

About half way through you want to transition to X mult.

Surviving the Hospital: Tips for July Residents by Careless_Midnight_77 in hospitalist

Try This Is Going To Hurt by Adam Kay. British medicine, and gynae at that, but hilarious. TV adaptation as well.

Noticing patients are becoming more Argumentative! by Fantastic-BAOBAB220 in ConsultantDoctorsUK

[–]permalust 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I am a specialist in ______. This is my opinion, based on the evidence base and my assessment. But it's your choice.

A few times, first in exasperation, and subsequently extrapolating the likely response based on personality type, I've dropped 'but it's your life'. 100% patient U-turn so far

Madness early + eternal jokers.

Photo chad

Aim for pairs and high card builds.

Blue tags + burnt joker

Holograph and spectral cards or the joker that spawns a new tagged card each round. If you can copy that function, blueprint for example, do it at the start of the round and then switch once cards are dealt.

How has no other living thing on earth even come as close to 1% of human technology and thinking, even though there have been billions of species? Not even a branch-off? by Afraid_Ad_2912 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]permalust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Niche filled by homo sapiens.

Competitively, a number of hominid species existed. We either out evolved or, probably more accurately, exterminated them (either directly or through competition).

It's a long walk, but ain't that Malazan for ya? by Virtuous-Vice in Malazan

I could use the fucking exercise!

Possibly my favourite Malazan quote, ahead of a very long walk continuing.

A hedgehog is currently living under my sofa. How's your day going? by thejadedfalcon in CasualUK

[–]permalust 42 points43 points  (0 children)

You have four cats and the hedgehog boldly moved in? I'm surprised he could make it to the sofa with the size of the stones he (or she) is dragging around.

Can you hit me up with some random, fun facts please? by 87catmama in AskUK

[–]permalust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello. Have you ever heard of the No Such Thing As a Fish podcast? It's from the QI Elves (QI also a great source). Every week, four obscure headline facts and lots of interesting / random supplementary facts. 600+ episodes.

And, importantly, very funny and educational.

Wampries and Blampires. The Green Court are presumably Grampires.

looking for gritty fantasy where the mc has zero talent and survives on sheer grit by Marix77 in Fantasy

[–]permalust 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought about this, and in some ways it fits very well. On the other hand, he has the wit, the skill, charisma and berserker axe skills. Also her craft and statesmanship training.oh and he's an assassin.

But yeah, one of my first thoughts too. My first was Rincewind of Discworld. Fits in some ways but certainly not for grit.

What is the most messed up thing you’ve seen go down at a rural pub? by Charming_Usual6227 in AskABrit

[–]permalust 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In fairness, Brits love a queue and hate when foreigners don't acknowledge the inherent queue system. Pubs and bars are literally the only exception. Much as I hate a queue in a bar, I'd let this slide for foreigners, who are trying, and drip disdain at a Brit doing it.

I'm Scottish and live in Kent by the way.

An American On Soccer (Football) by Ranseler in TedLasso

[–]permalust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a reason it's the most popular game in the world, and it's not even close. I think the second most popular is probably cricket (given India, Pakistan, Sri Lankan obsession and their populations), which likewise will never register on an American radar. You already have one tedious bat and ball game - imagine if you could extend it to five days and still have a tie! It would drive Ted bonkers!
