  Nah I was raised female and legit had friends like this some women (as with men) just never grow up. On a very tangentially related note I’ve been reflecting recently on the very primal attractiveness of a man who is visibly strong and horny enough to fuck me up but who is also visibly restraining themselves. The testosterone + self control combo is just an immediate vagina geyser.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Loosing my religion⁩ ⁨⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly this is it. It’s why it’s so stabilizing especially to a medium sized community (too small you get cults, too big you get institutionalization). Everybody agreeing to be weird in a specific way at a specific time at regular intervals has a lot of benefits, literal health benefits even. You definitely get some real fucked up outlier behavior but religion doesn’t have widespread stating power throughout generations for no reason.

  Yeah like people are calling this fake but like. Women’s fundamental humanity being equal to men’s means there’s just as much capacity for degeneracy.

  I’m not usually saying it to the patient, I’m saying it to their family. On occasion I will tell the patient in the sense of “you shouldn’t feel bad for telling your family to fuck off respect your boundaries, you deserve to take care of yourself.”

  That would be an unusual glitch, and one that wouldn’t be able to reach the patient, especially not in my specialty where we don’t have pumps. More likely is the resident gives a verbal instead and doesn’t get the benefit of allergy / dosing warnings. Tbh it’s actually not uncommon for the doctor to accidentally order a new scheduled dose and forget to discontinue the old dose just through pure human error but that’s pretty easy to catch because it looks hella weird in the MAR and most of it pops an error or at the very least pharmacy refuses to approve it.

  One time the computer restarted while I was trying to scan in a B52. I narrowly avoided flipping the workstation over by having to go verify it manually with a coworker instead and just charted it later.

  Unless bed board fucked up and didn’t input an attending in which case the patient is staring at me while I click around for 15 minutes Lille a dumbass while yelling around the corner at my coworker to try calling them for a fifth time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Holy hell, Ernie.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Very much so. The big thing is moisturizing which black people do waaay more of than whites, and especially beneficial if it’s an SPF moisturizer. Sunscreen and low UV exposure in general, as well not smoking or drinking are also huge factors, but are much less racially skewed. Stress and illness are also pretty big factors, but tend to be racially skewed against blacks for socioeconomic reasons.

  yeah it gets lonely in there. Some of my coworkers get weird about but idk I worked with men exclusively for like 2 years and like yeah. They gotta (for the most part anyway). The healthy ones just don’t do it in the hall.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sometimes it be like that⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I started taking Valerian for sleep again and when I was double checking the side effects and interactions with my current meds I saw “extremely vivid dreams” and was like OK well since the clonidine I haven’t really had the terrifying nightmares anymore so it’ll probably keep that from happening and tbf what happened was I got eaten out by an illithid and I don’t actually consider that a bad dream so overall 9/10 they’re not perfect but they’re pretty great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"influencers" are setting us back⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the witches who tell people to buy carbon monoxide detectors. One time I told a patient with abusive auditory hallucinations that her nighttime zyprexa was gonna shut the stupid bastard up and she was welcome to active whatever spiritual interpretation she liked to that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The other day a patient came up to the new nurse I’m orienting to awkwardly request “Vaseline and… idk. Something else I guess?” And she, in complete seriousness, asks if he needs toothpaste or deodorant maybe? Meanwhile me and my less new coworker are making prolonged and intense eye contact, each of us daring the other to break first. The patient eventually settles on socks (I would likely have suggested a washcloth, but I digress), which my oblivious coworker goes and grabs for him. Afterwards, due to both this and some other instances, I was just like. “Girl. Are you ace?” and she was like “omg how can you tell? …I’m missing subtext again aren’t I?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly it’s probably way closer to the true neolithic diet that humans evolved to eat than scheduled meals are. And you’re even describing the right things to eat that way, nuts, berries, a lil jerky. There’s a lot of cultural variance too but honestly what our comes down to is that humanity’s biggest strength that has allowed us to become as powerful as we are is our fundamental versatility. Even just in terms of food: koalas can’t even recognize the leaves of the one plant they eat their entire lives if they’re not on a tree but humans can walk to the other side of the planet and look at a plant or animal and be like “wonder how I’m gonna cook that.” That is AMAZING and you’re saying you think that’s bound by a schedule? You think humans spent time on the migration path going “nah I’m gonna skip that berry cuz it’s not lunch yet!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  there’s really no “right” way to eat other than daily / weekly balances of carbs / fat / protein / vitamins / minerals / water.

  3 square meals is more like a pre-osha workplace safety thing for people doing manual labor since the calorie requirements are so extreme but that need to be packed into a neat little meal break so they can get back to work. if you’re not building a railroad or stonework or carrying a roof up a ladder then grazing or intermittent fasting are fine.

  i suspect they are referring to this user having what reddit used to call a “cake day” referring to the anniversary of them making their account. that or theyre trans and just came out (closeted trans ppl are often called eggs) but I think it’s the first thing since that profile does have the lil cake today.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do doctors not seem to give a fuck about pain? Is this just an American doctor thing, or is it universal?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m going to mostly focus on the more legitimate answers since you already seem to know some of this was possibly / probably oversight / neglect and that they should have given you more.

  a) the big one is pressure from regulatory agencies to prescribe less narcotics. Some of this is legitimate; a lot of the opiate crisis was started by pharma companies lying about how habit forming their medications are and intentionally encouraging dependency to sell more, but a lot of it is also just straight up puritanical and part of efforts to disrupt minority communities that are more affected by illicit drug use. In the end though, there’s little individual prescribers can do about it.

  b) There’s legit specific medical reasons sometimes. If you had a bowel obstruction opiates are actually specifically contraindicated since they’re the medications MOST likely to cause constipation. Now if surgical intervention was the best option it might make sense to give them anyway, but there may have been some waffling on what the best option was and they couldn’t un-give you the meds if they did decide to have you pass it with medication / enemas instead of surgery. And bowel surgeries have a huuuge possibility of sepsis and having to have vital organs removed so that’s not a decision to make lightly.

  c) there’s huge pressure in institutional environments to do ANYTHING to prevent falls. In addition to getting stingy with sedatives that might make you dizzy there’s also pressure to have 1:1 care where people watch the patient in the bathroom and we used to even restrain old people to keep them from falling (although thank goodness that’s finally falling out of favor). To get rid of that we’d have to accept that sometimes people just fall and crack their head open and die and that’s life but we’re just not there yet as a society. In the US everything needs to be someone’s fault and if the doctor prescribes a sedating med and I give it and you fall, it’s partially considered my and the doctor’s fault. If we do ALL the environmental AND don’t give sedating meds, it’s considered less our fault.

  Borderline personality disorder and Posttraumatic stress disorder are the same thing the only core difference is whether or not the resulting reactivity seems proportionate to the trauma from the clinicians perspective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Possession is 9/10 of the law!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah saw a YouTube vid the other day two lesbians having a breakup fight really tearing into each other ripping chunks of hair out and shit and the cop pepper sprays them trying to get them to at least break it up before they kill each other and both of them just. keep. going.

  So I do inpatient Psych violence management in particular and yeah girl fights are waaay worse (9/10 w men you just have to break eye contact / line of sight) but like. The actual scientific term is hysterical strength (#dadreflexes or mom lifting a car off a baby) but to get that from a domestic relationship breakup…

  when you’re getting hysterical strength over nothing like that it’s because the adrenaline system is getting activated too much without a proper cooldown. every time that system gets activated it gets a little easier to activate again for a while.

  so maybe their relationship is just that awful idk. but I bet even if it is it’s not just the relationship. they’re in an environment where violence isn’t just a social norm: it’s getting hardwired into them so deep they can get fucking pepper sprayed and keep trying to kill their domestic partner. Shits fucked y’all.

  fwiw my understanding was “if people are willing to go black/grey market for it it must be lucrative and/or a thing people greatly need!” and my answer to THAT question is:

  it is very lucrative for the clinic. You’ll get some pocket change, similar to the cut a hooker gets from her pimp. Now, they are doing an important service to you and the client in terms of keeping you out of child support but also out of the child’s life without the consent of the parents (until 16-18, as you said). They’re also attending to some sexual health and genetic concerns. But they’re almost definitely not providing enough benefit to justify their cut. Fertility medicine is very lucrative as I understand.
