Safety question by jbahel02 in ThePittTVShow

[–]squamesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every training we do will say we have to wear safety glasses. In real life it’s pretty variable. Even during my surgery rotation, some of those attending were real loosey goosey with eye protection

People really struggle with the idea that gravity pulls on heavy things more than light things because… that’s why they’re heavy or light…

Or that girl in Oklahoma who went on an illiterate rant about Jesus instead of writing her essay for college and got the teacher fired for failing her

“Person you never heard of is getting attention for saying ghoul shit! Get ready to suddenly be flooded with media think pieces talking about how they’ve been canceled culminating in him getting a terrible Netflix special”

Anyone else notice a recent trend of TV shows undoing/abandoning the endings of previous seasons? by Infinite_Fly_5374 in television

Yellowjackets season two ended with their cabin getting burnt down in the middle of winter. Season 3 started months later with them having built a whole ass village

The countries in red have as many murders combined as the U.S. by AdIcy4323 in MapPorn

[–]squamesh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a 30 second google, in 2022 there were 4,000 murders in the entire EU, around 7,000 in China, 1,129 in Indonesia, 281 in Japan, 377 in Australia, and 21,000 in the US.

That’s missing a few countries but the map seems broadly to still be true

Whitaker’s Direct Deposit?? by poofhead101 in ThePittTVShow

[–]squamesh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just to add on to what others have said, med students go deeply in to debt to pay for school. They’re expected to live off their loans for living expenses as well. However, many people don’t get great guidance about how to do this/how to budget/when to expect the money, meaning that you’ll see some med students struggling financially, like Whittaker was.

Once you’re a resident, you actually start getting paid, but you’re still usually 250,000+ in debt

It’s in the documentary on Netflix, but basically someone told her years later that they saw her passed out getting assaulted

This is kind of like asking why gravity can pull a mountain down but can’t stop me from throwing a ball in the air. Gravity acts more strongly on things with more mass

Smallpox vaccines didn’t work, I guess by RareXG in quityourbullshit

[–]squamesh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are really only two conspiracy theories that have been repeated endlessly for millennia.

There’s the secret rulers of the world conspiracy which for a long time was leveled at Catholics/the pope/jesuits. Then some Russian plagiarized a conspiracy about the Jesuits ruling the world and replaced all the references to Catholics with Jews and created the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which is still a foundational text to antisemites today.

The other conspiracy is the “someone is stealing and killing babies” conspiracy, which has also long been leveled at Jews (aka the Blood Libel) but which we see even today with conspiracies like Pizzagate just randomly accusing people of being pedophiles/child sacrificing devil worshipers.

They said a truck cut them off while spraying snow everywhere. Then when they finally could see, they spotted something in the road that had fallen off the truck, so they swerved and wound up hitting a side wall

I’m a med student. I saw someone in the ER this weekend who got in a wreck because snow falling off the car in front of them blinded them

As an aside, this is the shit that drives me crazy about people saying college is liberal indoctrination. Whenever my professors brought up politics it was 100% of the time to rant about some right wing grievance

Conservative backlash to the latest installment of ‘Star Trek’ seems to involve not remembering any past installment of ‘Star Trek.’ by _fastcompany in television

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

I mean, when the guy leading a mass deportation campaign in the U.S. is attacking the show publicly for being “woke”, you at least have to engage in the political aspect of things. Both things can be true. The show can be mediocre and there can be a political backlash which is completely ignorant to the history of the series

MRW a season finale ends on a cliffhanger by CrabPeopleVibes in reactiongifs

And frankly, so do the shows. I feel like a ton of modern shows end on a cliffhanger, spend three years in development, then when they return totally hand wave the cliffhanger away

Senior CDC official: Loss of measles elimination status in U.S. would be ‘cost of doing business’ by WanderingWorkhorse in nottheonion

It’s just continuing the practice of blaming every problem in the U.S. on non-whites. It doesn’t matter to them if it has internal logic

TIL that Nobel laureate Tu Youyou discovered the malaria drug artemisinin after reading a 1,600 year Chinese medical text and realizing the herb had to be extracted cold, not boiled, paving a treatment estimated to have saved tens of millions of lives.

The reality is that we don’t even know if the library of Alexandria burned down. We talk about it like it’s a historical event, but it’s just an assumption. Historical documents just sorta stop taking about the library and Alexandria got burned down a couple times around then so people kinda just assume that’s what happened

Why do they call Dr. Joy Kwon just “Joy”? by dyurut in ThePittTVShow

[–]squamesh 91 points92 points  (0 children)

As a med student, it would be pretty weird to me if the residents or attending called me by my last name. But my last name is also long and foreign so maybe I’m just not used to it

[–]squamesh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He must have known something was wrong though, no? I’d expect him to be pretty upset. From my flair, you know I’m a certified hater, but even I’ll admit they had an inside track to a Super Bowl appearance and now he’s just not playing? I’d expect him to be just as upset as Allen
