I’m referring to the disturbing images on packaging.
I love genuine questions and people putting in the effort to love and understand each other better. If you come at me just wanting to argue I’m going to troll you back. FAFO.

Nah do it like they do in Europe. Pictures of what it looks like to be held to the bed screaming by a 19y/o who had no idea what they signed up for while an ICU nurse shoves a tube up your ass so that the diarrhea they induced to rebalance your ammonia doesn’t dissolve your anus as quickly except she can’t get the tube to stay in because your anus has already been slightly dissolved so she keeps shoving the tube back in and you’re still screaming because you’re in acute alcohol withdrawal and the terrified child they’re paying $12 an hour to help the ICU nurse restrain you seems to have snakes crawling out of their dinner-plate sized eyes.
You can be unsurprised AND say wtf. I do it all the time when patients run down the hall naked and covered in shit. Sometimes life just sucks so bad that even the expected stuff warrants a nice hot shower with a cold beer, and in the moment you just say wtf so you don’t have to think about the situation any more than you already have.
I would’ve said I learned it when I was 12 being repeatedly sexually assaulted by three boys at once on the bus ride home every day for a month but now is good too I guess.
Leaving the tide pools. Possibly even forming proteins to begin with. I much more enjoyed being stardust.
Sounds like the guy is ok :)
I try to read all the articles I post but for this one I noped out after 1 sentence. Enjoy!
I gotchu.
Bro had prostate cancer at some point and the article says they removed his bladder. The “surgical wound” is likely a permanent ostomy, where the internal ureters (which no no longer have a bladder to drain into) are redirected right out of the abdominal wall (there’s usually a bag taped on to catch the urine). I forgot they usually just drain them into the intestines if you still have them, which is why they were involved in this. Anyway, my guy was doing well and they were pretty sure he was healed up, but age and possibly chemo both slow healing and doctors (like the rest of us) aren’t perfect. Because he was pretty sure he was healed up, he went to breakfast to celebrate, and happened to sneeze. Sneezing raises pressure in the abdomen, and busted his intestines right out of that almost healed wound. The article correctly refers to this as “wound dehiscence (opening) and evisceration (the bowels protruding).”
In nursing school, they actually teach you specifically what to do about this specific occurrence. First you sit the patient all the way up and honestly leaning forward over their legs a little. This takes pressure off the abdominal skin so it doesn’t tear any further than it has. Then you cover the wound in sterile gauze soaked in sterile saline. If you have an abdominal surgery that has dehiscence and evisceration as possible complications, you likely will not have access to sterile gauze or sterile saline on you at all times, especially not if you’ve gotten far enough into recovery to be going to brekkie, but any reputable surgeon will be happy to provide their own specific instructions as to how to manage the situation until the EMTs arrive, which I encourage you to follow.
I was waiting for someone else to comment because I was hoping they would know and I just wanted to say that you really let me down, man.
Situational awareness. I’ve had people look me up and down and ask how I handle the patient population I do considering I’m kinda skinny-fat and like
a) I’m a lot stronger than I look, especially with adrenaline in me one time I picked up one of the weighted dayroom chairs because I needed to get to a patient and it was in my way
b) 99% of it isn’t even fighting people anyway it’s mostly just having an ear for bullshit. One time we had a patient set off one of the safety alarms in their room and waited in the dark behind the door for someone to come answer it. I got there, saw the darkened room with the weird alarm going off and just noped the fuck out and called security.
If you have the common sense of every guy in the horror film that says,“Absofuckinglutely not” (and you don’t mind being paid pennies) psychiatric nursing calls to you.
Brains that run faster than average are very cool and impressive to people who don’t have to live in them.
I looked him up on YouTube because I wanted to see what you meant and all the comments say he’s been replaced with AI.
Damn. That show got weird.
What red flags? He’s a solid, hardworking, and nonjudgmental family man! Unless in the later seasons I haven’t seen he becomes a shithead?
Zuko from AtLA, but part of that was also a deep experiential empathy for his character growth arc. Also sometimes having undefined gender issues at the same time makes it really hard to tell whether a feeling like that is attraction or envy.
One of my favorites in highschool and made EDM my favorite genre (well, that and playing speed over Beethoven in DDR). My faves now are apashe and avicii. If anyone knows any EDM that incorporates classical elements (especially strings and/or piano) I am ALL ears.
This was like two years ago and I’ve never had an issue. Have some faith in humans.
I just taught my coworkers how to pirate shit. Fuck Disney.
The logic behind it is that it’s a bribe “tip”-based system. The “tips” often provide more than a living wage, so it really works out better this way!
Yeah that tip really only works for hardcopies, and handwritten ones at that.
