  Nah he was just quiet senile instead of loud senile. I’ve had patients that are rather agreeable despite low cognitive function. They don’t wind up in the hospital as much and get discharged quicker because the agreeableness means they can accept home caregivers more safely, but they very much still need assistance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon changes his strategy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh “why do good girls like bad guys” is one of those questions of the ages. It exists for many reasons, but the short list is:

  • there’s a fine line between confidence and assholery

  • there’s a bunch of emotions that are neurochemically identical and than can often be misattributed as each other and “scared” and “horny” share most of the same neurotransmitters.

  • daddy issues and other psychosocial toxicity that you probably don’t want anything to do with anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Therapy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had a couple of people ask for I stomach what I do for a living (acute inpatient psychiatry) and one of my answers to one of the aspects is that a lot of this was going to happen to them anyway and they may as well have at least one person there who’s been there and won’t be a asshole about it (or any more than I haveto be anyway). Also everybody’s a mental health advocate who wants the poor sweet depressed babies to be loved more until a homeless schizophrenic on PCP starts wiping period blood on their car while yelling about how Obama filled their vagina with spiders.

  Oh I would certainly think it’s the norm but I do wonder if there’s some culture somewhere that really is just that literal. Like shit we don’t know what the sentinelese (but they definitely give a dark sense of humor vibe).

  Tbh the hose / sprayer kind is actually super handy for spraying out the bedside puke bucket. You can also use it for removing the large solids from reusable pads or incontinence garments or pet waste on a reusable or very rudely diy’ed puppy pad. I’ve spent so much time working with toilets that have a pull down nozzle for cleaning equipment that it’s just plain handy to have one at home for when the cat pukes on my favorite robe. You can also use it for a lot of types of food waste if you don’t have a garbage disposal.

  I read it as a reflexive response to behavioral cues. There’s the “yeah I made it here” in the driveway, but as he approaches the bathroom his reflexes to defecate and micturate reengage more fully.

  It turns out a bunch of CEOs are lowkey psychopaths for exactly the reasons you state and idk that I like where that’s led us. I think the better answer is continually educating people on their both right and obligation to routinely engage in self political representation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon watches disturbing footage⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of that neuroscientist who was looking at signs of psychopathy in brains. He needed like 500 for the study and only had like 487 so he got some friends and family to give him theirs too. When the study was over and they went to unblind the results it turned out he had a psychopath brain. He was like,“in retrospect, a lot of the time I did wonder why other people found (x/y/z) so disturbing when it didn’t bother me at all.” Except nobody who’s ever actually worked with a neuroscientist was surprised at all.

  Doesn’t matter how famous the architect who made the toilet was if there’s only one of them per 100 people at a tourist event compared to the one per 10 any other time of the year. I’ve seen lots of fancy toilets but none of them have been able to hold 10 butts at once.

  I tell people good evening while getting off shift at 7a and good morning while coming on shift at 7p and honestly I must roll with it because then nobody gets on me for not remembering their names.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of the times our hospital security show up to my deescalation classes after leaving a job in corrections. One of the things we often commiserate on is that they got into corrections and I into the state hospital to try and help other people grow and heal but what happened is that we got caught in a loop of “what am I going to see next that I’m going to have to report?” I’m now working for a psych unit in a regular hospital which still has it’s flaws but none comparable to the state.

  First you see a patient spit in the face of a staff member who has to be physically held back from hitting them (they actually told us we’re allowed to restrain our coworkers if that happens), then you see a staff member get called racial slurs and they get up in the patients face and yell at them and you have to get between them and tell your coworker to take a walk but it’s hard to get them to do that because it’s 2am and there’s no other techs on the unit and they know the nurse isn’t gonna come out to help you before it’s too late. And those reactions make sense and you wonder why they’re packing you in with so many patients that your coworker can’t just walk away. And then you see somebody posture and yell at a patient who’s just all around rude but again it’s 2am and you can’t make it to 7 with just one tech.

  And you also know that you’re going to need to choose the moment that it’s too much and that’ll be the end. Because if you stay after that you become the “them” in the “us vs them” and one day you’re going to face a violent patient at 2am and the tech who’s with you will leave you alone with that patient because “I don’t want you to report me too.”

  And if you’re smart, you get out before it gets that far. One day a nurse asked me what I’d seen happen and I told them (truthfully) that I’d been at lunch and had no idea what they were talking about and they cut the conversation off. And I had no idea what patient or staff member it would’ve been about (as far as I could tell all of the patients were the same as before I’d gone to lunch) so I couldn’t have reported anything anyway. But I had to ask myself if I had seen something what would I have been asked to cover up?

  And anybody who’s worked corrections or for the state will tell me something similar happened to them, or worse. And I just… You either get out or something awful happens. I’m so grateful I was able to get out before I personally got pulled into something. You think you’ll be able to be different but that system is just so much bigger than you.

  And people who are outside of it living their happy lives will tell you they want a better system, but they will never truly be willing to put in the work needed to change it or even give you the resources to do it yourself. Like I’d been a patient at that state hospital previously and went back as a staff member to try and help and being a staff member was just so much worse somehow. I’m grateful that it gave me the experience to do what I do now and be an authority / teacher in the management of violent patients but it was hell while it was happening. No one who’s never been through that will ever really understand.

  When I said ‘explicit interracial gangbang with facials’ I was not exaggerating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how could this happen😔⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Especially when they have the softcore in song of Solomon and the interracial gangbang in Ezekiel 23. And they’re not 100% explicit but Abraham tries to get Sarah to cuck him several times in Genesis, and there’s a couple incest scenes in Genesis as well. Honestly most of the positive aspect I’ve gotten out of the Bible is actually a fair amount of comfort in knowing that humans really have not changed. We’re just as depraved as we ever were.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how could this happen😔⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I told hubs to just come hug me in bed for five minutes the other day (I’ve been working his glutes a bit too hard lately). 10/10 will request hugging in bed again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rules for a gun fight⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a psych nurse my rules for a gunfight are that the ER security checkpoint with the metal detector and x-ray bad scanner better have found and removed the gun by the time the patient arrives on my unit. One day they didn’t and I was VERY put out. Absolutely miffed. I wrote a very stern email in the morning.
