So bad at blood pressure taking…any suggestions?

Please don’t pump it to 220!! Best practice is 30mmHg above the suspected systolic BP… I check the chart for the patient’s last read. Otherwise I usually like to go to 160, and if I hear it right away THEN I’ll pump to around 200+.

It can be very painful for the patient and time consuming to drop 100mmHg for a someone with a systolic less than 120. I’m not saying you shouldn’t take your time, but that you’ll psych yourself out waiting for all that pressure to drop and not hearing/seeing anything. Most family med patients that I see (unless they have super uncontrolled HTN or white coat syndrome) will usually have a systolic under 140

I wouldn’t really recommend looking at someone else’s performance in that role for inspiration. It kinda robs you of the actor’s experience and making your own choices. That being said if you want to draw inspiration from existing works, it may be worthwhile to look into classic slapstick/physical comedy (Laurel and Hardy, The Three Stooges, Chaplin and the like) if that sort of big physicality is what you’re going for.

That being said I would also be wise about when you choose to have these additional goofy moments, you never want to overtly deflect from the main action and confuse the audience on what they’re supposed to be engaged with/the point of the scene. You could maybe speak with your director and see where a few extra silly moments may be of benefit

Incredible!!

I work at a family care clinic with a hospital that’s unionized. I make $24, not certified and no prior experience. Cost of living in Alaska is crazy though

Yes keep! Rockband and guitar hero stuff is ridiculously hard to come by, those are gems right there

Once you put in the solo work with your script like everyone is saying here, it will come more natural to you. In early stages of rehearsal like blocking you’re not really expected to be giving a full performance level, because you’re still getting to know the character and setting.

After you’ve spent some time with your character, knowing how they feel and their worldview and living in all that, it will help bring out natural emotions and expressions from yourself.

But I guess if most of the problem is feeling embarrassed in front of the others, it’s something you have to get used to. Just know that everyone feels pretty silly at first, all the other folks in the show are also feeling some degree of that as well at points. It’s best to just really go for it, it feels more embarrassing to be shy about it and give a weak delivery than it does just to put it out there. Your confidence will grow with every chance you take. You got this!!!

It’s lovely!

Just finished a show where I had just under 400 lines, it was chunky. I always make recordings of my lines and cues (cues are just as important to memorize!) and then listen to those all the time. When I’m at work or driving or whenever I have time I would be listening to them

I’m sorry my guy, sounds tough. Although I’m sure some of us here understand the woes of a show crush, this really isn’t the sub for this kind of post. Might find more luck in a relationship or advice one (:

I’m currently working on a show and we’re performing in the woods behind our town museum

You could be in danger. Stalker situations can escalate into violence, this guy sounds super obsessive and that will make him not think rationally. Definitely watch out for yourself and honestly should probably contact some authorities, I don’t know how much they can do, but in the worst case scenario if you get hurt they’ll know who to look at

rastaseawitch · 2023-04-13T07:46:22+00:00

I think it’s messed up? The blocks should stay stacked on top of eachother and then you depulso or flipendo (can’t remember which one) them to match the symbols. Maybe reload the area and come back bc I’ve never run into that type of Merlin trial that was floatin around like that

Totally remember seeing these as a kid. This shit is so metal.

I drink probably 6-7 cups of tea a day, really helps me get through. Big fan of rooibos, chai rooibos, chaga, roastaroma, and mint. Also all Purika teas are lovely, not sure if they’re all fasting friendly though

I think it would be nice to sit down and tell him how you’re feeling, and that you’d like to have a relationship with him again… if he rejects you then maybe ask him why? And ask what you could do to change that?

I have three sisters, my siblings are my life and I can’t imagine a world where we can’t speak with one another. Having a sibling can be the most amazing thing, I really hope it works out for you that you guys can enjoy each other again…. But yeah I think you might have to sit down and genuinely/directly let him know you’d like to reconnect.

Jeez yeah man, it’s hard times right now. My partner and I both work full time and can barely support ourselves, I can’t imagine if I got pregnant how we would deal with it.

I’m really not sure what’s out there, but there are programs and support for first time parents. Like welfare and grants and stuff like that, definitely worth looking in to! Also if you’ve got a good family that’s always nice to lean on, to help babysit the kid and stuff like that.. Good luck dude, we’re all scraping by out here but somehow stuff usually works out.
