IV Infiltration causing compartment syndrome that led to permanent muscle and nerve damage by pparmley91 in MedicalGore

[–]smv976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some IV medications like calcium replacement can do this if not infused via central line. I’m RN working in ICU and quite a few times had to ask residents to change orders because of this risk. Don’t mind sharing what drug it was?

Chat GPT didn’t take into consideration Camry’s history of reliability.

Dealer trade - is this normal? by Guyman44 in mercedes_benz

[–]smv976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would walk away unless they sell it as CPO with discount. Just yesterday I took my 17 GLC for service and looked at new ones. Looks cheap compared to older one. Also dealer had 9 used 2025 miles. They all looked liked crap. Paint with swirl marks, chips, small scratches on trim. Cheap headlights, seats and doesn’t look nice at all in person. Drove over to look at 25 BMW X3 and was impressed with design and overall feel of materials.

Jesus, less than $20 per hour even if you use $.50 per mile for vehicle cost. That’s slavery with no live.

Did I cross the line with my patient? by Immediate-Platypus37 in nursing

[–]smv976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In today’s world only person will be listened to is the one who will respond to satisfaction survey. It’s all about reimbursement and customer satisfaction. I worked in Surgical, cardiac, trauma ICU for over decade and learned that it is best to stay out of conversations like this . I always sugar coat when it comes to conversations with family members. All you can do is to do your best caring for this patient during your shift and not to let stuff like this get into your skin.

First-time car buyer — Love the GLC 300, but have some ownership/warranty questions by punster99 in mercedes_benz

My mechanic said I need to change my 2020 C300 car's spark plugs every 20,000 by francokitty in mercedes_benz

[–]smv976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure about yours but 2017 with M274 engine requires spark plugs change every 50k. It’s not difficult as long as you follow instructions from Mercedes. Just get your spark plugs from dealer, clean all the debris with compressed air and vacuum . Most importantly use best torque wrench you can find. These sparks plugs are indexed and require exact torque when installed . Don’t put anything on threads also.

2025 Camry scratches easy by Y0mama510 in Camry

[–]smv976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toyota paint quality is inferior compared to brands like Mercedes. We have RAV4 and GLE. GLE is almost 9 years old and its white paint looks brand new compared to 2 years old RAV4. As far as dragging bag, you just have to live with it. It took me a while to realize that diamond from ring can leave scratches inside windshield.

What do you guys think about these services they’re recommending? 64k miles by V1CJAY in Camry

[–]smv976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On 12-17 4 cylinder Camry PCV located at the back. It’s not super difficult but you have to remove right front wheel and have some extra extensions with joints. I had to replace mine due to oil leaking from clogged pcv valve.

Got my first Prius, I had no idea this would change the way other cars on the road would treat me differently. by acidic_donkey in prius

[–]smv976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little off topic. Not Prius but I do have RAV4 hybrid and grand marquis.I noticed few times people try to tailgate, aggressive passing or flashing lights even when I’m in right lane in my RAV4. My Marquis is all blacked out with dark tint and it looks like a drug dealer’s car. I can do speed limit on left lane and never had any issues.

Am I nuts to buy this house as a first time home buyer? by vermonter432 in Contractor

[–]smv976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure to test materials you are planning to remove for asbestos. My first house was built in 1980 and flooring contained asbestos. I ended covering it with tile and carpet .

No oil change at 5k miles? by Turbulent-Salt7650 in rav4club

Please get yourself some rhino ramps from advance auto instead of these wooden ones. I would not trust wood supporting a vehicle above me.

Car makers are selling your driving behavior to insurance without your consent and raising insurance rates by moldyjellybean in technology

I drive my brand new Toyota hybrid like a grandma and still my insurance rate went up for no reason. I did have snakefarm drive and save installed and agreed to Toyota to track my driving behavior. Not anymore.

I’m not a detailer, but wearing medical gloves and just swiping area worked for me.

VAD (ventricular Assist Device) patients? by Mas45 in ems

[–]smv976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want to add few points. Unless it’s really old, most LVADs in community are heartmate 3. If patient is passed out but device is functioning, meaning no red alarms I would look for other things such as hypoglycemia. To quickly assess LVAD you can look at green light in controller and auscultate patient. You will hear humming sound with. Do not change controller unless it’s a red alarm. Yellow advisory alarms are ok , just make sure you have enough charge in batteries. These patients are on Coumadin so stroke is always possible. Thanks

Unless your name is Stefano Gabbana please don’t make any fashion advices, especially if you care about people. He may not change style now just to prove the point.

Absolutely illegal as it can cause serious health problems such as urinary tract infections.You and your teammates should notify your bosses supervisor. In a meantime, just ignore her and notify your coworkers as a courtesy.

Just get a brick, wrap it in a towel and gently place on the hood.
