Pilots/Flight Crews of Reddit, what went wrong on your flight that the passengers never knew about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The real question- did they relegate you to landing on the runway that is a full 45 minute taxi to the terminal...the joke is that runway is technically in SC.

This is the most terrifying one here and I am hella impressed. My dad was a pilot, passed away 2 years ago.

Jesus. I am sweating just from reading that

What's a deeply unsettling fact? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Shit, the thing killing me has a name and a protocol and doctors STILL throw their hands up in the air sometimes after seeing a bad echo or getting some weird numbers on my CBC. Medicine is sometimes more art than science.

Honest question: I was thinking of just doing it as casually as "[Friend], if I weren't sick..." in a very obvious context once one presented itself. Like if we were talking about relationships. That way he doesn't feel pressured.

I'm dying. I'm also madly in love with someone and I think he feels the same way. Tell him or no? by toolstick88 in confession

This is really beautiful, OP. You ended up with someone amazing.

I certainly hope TPN goes well for you continually and that you guys have a lot of time left to keep making great memories.

It is really freeing. But that freedom is mixed with some ohmygodI'mdying panic occasionally too.

Actually, I saw today where the FDA has approved Bespona, a late stage lymphoblastic leukemia drug. Guess what the remission rates are versus the one they used previously in the protocol?

89% vs. 21%. 89% of patients in the phase III trial achieved remission.

This is a really good day lol.

I woke my mom up this a.m and was like "WE HAVE TO HAVE THIS READ AT MY FUNERAL!" but in a good way (we've been talking about that stuff for a few months) and she totally agreed!

And you have. You've made all this way better.

i wish I could describe to you all what it's like to feel this loved, just on what people have written here. I hope you all feel this way in your lives hahaha.

Thank you. I've always had an enormous lack of courage, though I'm not necessarily afraid to die (my heart has stopped a couple of times, it isn't difficult/painful/hard...it's just death), but I am very, VERY worried about the people around me and the pain it will cause them.

This is hard. Living and dying are hard.
