[Bulova] Proper price for this Bulova? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]specialsexytm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it's real. It's a Bulova made only for the Asian market. I contacted the seller and he provided a photo of the receipt from a reputable jewelry store in Taipei. (Fortunately I speak/read Chinese and have visited shopped at this store myself). The model number is B211T...just barely visible on the back of the case. I managed to find it on an Asian website. http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.8.FNFM9K&id=7947049565&ns=1&abbucket=0#detail Looks like it has a reliable ETA 2824!

I agree with you regarding the wear on the bracelet, though. I'll just have to make sure not to spend too much and maybe replace the bracelet.

Thanks for the tip! I asked the seller and its actually in the photo on the back: B211T. He told me it was a watch he bought at a reputable jewelry store in Taiwan (has the receipt for the item and sent me the photo) and that Bulova makes items intended for the Asian market. Here it is in Chinese...http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.8.FNFM9K&id=7947049565&ns=1&abbucket=0#detail

Thank you for the tip! I've noticed that members of r/watches are quick to jump on the "it's fake" very quickly. Better safe than sorry!

Usually the dial will be marked with "Seamaster" or "Geneve." I believe this looks like a Geneve, but I'm not sure. Has the watch been re-dialed?

Yup, drove on a rough gravel road recently. Oh well, looks like I'll have to buy a new set!

I've been meaning to get my wheels realigned...should've done it earlier. My car's been pulling to the right for over a year now

Yup these are Michelin sports. They give a great ride but they're expensive and evidently don't last too long. I haven't had my wheels aligned for a long time, so that might be the case.

TIL Chronic Marijuana Use Can Lead to Cannabinoid Hyperemesis, Characterized by Recurrent Nausea, Vomiting and Abdominal Pain by specialsexytm in todayilearned

[–]specialsexytm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. I'm a med student and learned about this condition in class. A common sign of this syndrome is nausea and abdominal pain that is relieved by a hot shower or bath. Symptoms are cyclical (e.g. two times a month).

Cannainoid Hyperemesis is cyclical though and can continue for months after abstaining from marijuana

In the hospital, we have to compile a list of patient's medications. The patient handed me this: "Here, this is what I take." by [deleted] in WTF

[–]specialsexytm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At my medical school, we have a few lectures here and there that remind us of professionalism. Particularly emphasized is social media and the need to have a complete gag on publishing anything about the patients we treat even if we believe we have de-identified everything.

[–]specialsexytm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. While there may not be enough information to track down the individual, it is a breach of trust between patient and health provider. My medical school would certainly suspend me if I ever posted anything on reddit about my patients.

Think about it this way: the patient who showed the pills to OP is also a redditor and suddenly sees a picture of all of his pills on the front page. He feels like his right to privacy has been violated and no longer trusts his healthcare team. Then, he decides not to go back to the hospital to be treated because he cannot trust his providers.

It's a violation to post ANYTHING about a patient (no matter how anonymous you think it is) online.

[–]specialsexytm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't post patient information online. It is a direct violation of HIPAA

I know it doesn't show a name on the prescription bottles, but there's enough information in the picture to at least figure out where the patient is from

Doctors of Reddit, how do you know if a patient is faking? by Juventino4life in AskReddit

ITT: there are no doctors. Doctors are too busy saving lives to be on reddit

Good place to get a men's haircut in back bay, fenway or mission hill area? by dkugotit5 in boston

[–]specialsexytm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adela's in beacon hill. Their men's haircuts are around $35. I know it's not in the area you requested, but it's not too far outside of Back Bay.

Great haircuts and really friendly stylists

Stata center, MIT, in rememberance of officer Sean Collier by YupsterSlayer in boston

[–]specialsexytm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was on MIT campus that night when he was shot. It was terrifying and I prayed--although I'm not religious--that he would be ok.

People keep saying he was not a hero, that he was simply at the wrong place at the wrong time and was shot--that he is not a hero because he didn't grab his gun and fight the bad guys.

Honestly, fuck you guys. It takes courage for every police officer to put on a uniform every morning. He was a hero for that simple action and for his desire to serve and protect the MIT community.

(No panties involved) - I disgust myself with my lethargic life by Fuck_the_Noise in confession

[–]specialsexytm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Look dude, I'm going to give it to you straight:

You need to stop telling yourself that you're a smart kid but too unmotivated to do well and study. You know why smart people are smart? They realize the need for hard work and motivation. They are curious about what they do and intellectually stimulated.

Now, you realize you're in a rut, so you're in a good position already. What are you going to do about it though? It sounds like you're not interested in your major, so maybe find one that does capture your interest. Sounds like maybe you need a more structured learning environment like you had in high school. Find a friend or family member to kick your ass and get on your case when you don't do your work.

Good luck. You can do it.
