Comment on Why don't I bruise?
flooppoolf@lemmy.world 5 months agoI’m about to be one of the aforementioned. Almost done with the clinical rotation part. You guys are pretty much on point. Also when you’re drunk you’re much more likely to have hit yourself harder and sloppier than initially thought. More damage might result in a messy wound vs an anticipated accident.

It’s nice to know my arteries are good considering my doctors hate my veins. Getting blood drawn often takes 3 or 4 attempts and when I need an IV they break out the ultrasound.
And the drunk bit does make sense. When I broke my toe while drunk, I didn’t even know it was broken and just kept walking on it, so maybe that’s why it bruised when I normally don’t.

Hahahahaha that is a super pertinent piece of information right there. You kept walking on a broken bone. Owowowowow. I hope everything is all good now!

It was good until I broke the same toe the same way again. I’ll never break any other bones, just that toe over and over again. Luckily there’s been basically no pain this time since I’ve actually been treating it properly and staying off it.
