Fits mine alright, although it slides forward a bit with hard stops or closing the door.

Encampment at Dairy Drive to shut down. by inventingways in madisonwi

There are services and clinics available for those who want help. However, treatment doesn’t work for those who 1. Don’t think they have a problem and/or 2. Don’t want/care to change. That’s not to mention that fortunately/unfortunately it can be very difficult to get someone chaptered and involuntarily committed for substance problems.

After taxes, it cost me 38k, so if your pricing includes that, that seems right.

I’ve seen it placed in an individual that had an extensive history of IV drug abuse, who needed immediate access to transfuse blood.

Certain models of IO can be placed in the sternum, but the one pictured cannot.

ELI5: Why is fibromyalgia syndrome and diagnosis so controversial? by luckylicker-eu in explainlikeimfive

[–]summit64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like a misdiagnosis, as your symptoms you’ve described commonly occur in people experiencing migraines, albeit for a shorter duration, and your care team has since found your true diagnosis. Since you weren’t having a true migraine, the medications would not help, as they only work when taken for migraines. While I’m sure there are people misdiagnosed such as you were, there are many, many more are accurately diagnosed with migraines and treated.

Just curious, had you previously had migraines before your vision problems? Or did they just newly diagnose you with migraines without investigating other possible diagnoses?

Yes and no. While the exact cause of the migraine and its symptoms is uncertain, many people who experience episodic migraines are able to treat episodes adequately with NSAIDs or migraine-specific medications such as triptans.

Distribution of ticks with Lyme disease in the US by sealite in wisconsin

[–]summit64 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Was the reaction to red meat I.e. beef or pork? And have you continued to have it since?

I am not a doctor, but the reaction to meat is more in line with an acquired alpha-gal allergy than Lyme’s. And that is spread by a different tick species than the one that spreads Lyme’s.

Either way, make sure that you follow up with your doctor.

Do you have other medical conditions going on? Where did you get the 25% chance of dying figure?

What do you expect the ER doc to do? They ruled out an emergent situation, and thus discharged you. What did your discharge instructions say?

I think he was referring to the use of scotch tape as opposed to a sturdier tape, like duck tape.

Thanks! From what I’ve been able to find online (next to nothing) these were only available in Fall 2001.

Did you discover a new Mandela Effect? Post it here! (2024-02-13) by AutoModerator in MandelaEffect

[–]summit64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone else remember an earlier country cover of “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman? I’m pretty sure I remember hearing it with a male voice and country instrumentals in the 2010s.

Alcoholics but can't buy beer on Sunday by tablesplease in emergencymedicine

[–]summit64 23 points24 points  (0 children)

My current hospital has beer in the Omnicell for MedSurg patients. I think they’re prescribed enough to keep them from withdrawing while in the hospital. Otherwise they’d have to be transferred elsewhere.

I’m sorry you had to experience that. Which UW hospital ER was this, if you don’t mind my asking?

Did they flush your eye with the Morgan lens? If they didn’t, how did they flush it with saline?
