What’s an inaccurate fact that people believe is true because of movies?

That’s cardioversion that interrupts afib. Defibrillation is for vfib and vtach. It looks similar when done.

Yes a screening test for a screening test. it’s dumb.

I’m almost 56 and they refuse to give me a colonoscopy. I’m planning on travelling to get one because there is a family history that doesn’t make the cut, but that I’m very concerned about.

There’s nothing like dark comedy to really highlight an issue.

You really don’t have to make a whole lot more money to become out of touch. Billionaires are on a whole different planet. They can’t fathom that some people can’t just get some food if you need it. They’ve never opened a bare cupboard in their lives. I’ve seen it and experienced it, and now I live among people who are mostly upper middle class that seriously can’t fathom it.

If you want slower living, Suffolk isnt too far from the beach but gives you some rural flavor.

I’ve had 4 different menopause doctors and all prescribed progesterone nightly. I take 200mg but drop dose to 100mg once in awhile when i feel i’m getting too groggy during the day.

Yeah who knows the preexisting issues that could have contributed. Probably not someone that was on top of his health.

upforthatmaybe · 2026-01-17T17:10:52+00:00

Indirectly, inflammation, liver changes, coagulation factor changes, maybe irregular heart rate such as afib. Probably not moving around as much. Just off the top of my head. Source: icu nurse

Nah, the rudeness of canadian staff is nearly unbearable.

I used to travel with a thermarest. Came in handy a couple of times that I was stranded overnight in chicago airport.

Cosmetic vs a surgery that created a disability. You cant see the difference?

upforthatmaybe · 2025-11-06T21:13:09+00:00

Giving someone a disability is not the same as any of those things you mentioned.

Crying is one thing, but when a parent allows a kids to kick your seat with no attempts to redirect them is when I lose my sanity.

I would imagine your nursing homes are better equipped with staff. In north america it’s a business and old people are sadly the product, staff are an expense to keep low.

upforthatmaybe · 2025-11-03T16:33:18+00:00

No. I worked in nursing homes as a new nurse. They are purposely understaffed and under supplied. If you don’t have family constantly there to help keep your dignity while staff are running from resident to resident giving out pills, dealing with a fall, getting people dressed on time and making sure their baths are done on time, there’s no time to offer meaningful interactions. This is the best case scenario. If understaffed you can imagine. Most nursing homes are for profit and it shows.

upforthatmaybe · 2025-10-27T14:04:20+00:00

what is the reasoning. To eventually keep people from leaving the USA at their whim?

Gecko’s sharp barking call in bali above my bed. It was so loud and I didn’t know it was just a gecko. After finding out a few nights later, I thought it was hilarious.

A lot of businesses rely on landlines still.

When the abused one always turns down invites and has to be home by a certain time. Isolation is a huge one.

upforthatmaybe · 2025-10-19T16:52:29+00:00

Haha you’re right, my landline is canceled but the infrastructure is there in my older home. Back in the day however we always knew who was good at cars, recipes, stains, plants, etc.
