Pretty realistic imo. You just described the last five companies I worked at.

Humans cuddle platonically/familially. I also wonder if it’s maybe not more like holding hands which isn’t always romantic among humans depending on culture. Again, arguing 0% on the gayness, my only beef is with the anthropomorphization, and the whole point of acknowledging in the first place is that no human has any real way of knowing what’s going on in an animal’s head.

The gesture almost can’t mean the same thing to a creature that doesn’t have a pair of soft appendages with some of the densest nerve clusters on its entire body in that specific location. But yeah raising a child together is pretty darn gay. I guess they could be platonically coparenting but tbh that seems like an even bigger anthropomorphization. “They’re gay, Karen” is honestly just occam’s razor for this situation.

I love him so much. He’s the kind of rural demographic the democrats need to be trying to campaign towards but their head is way too far up their own asses. We really do rely on our rural populations for a lot of things, especially food, and allowing conservatives to be basically the only ones who even bother to speak to them for so long has resulted in an extremely uncomfortable amount of our food supply almost completely under the control of fascists.

Yeah that tip really only works for hardcopies, and handwritten ones at that.

I found dialectal behavior therapy in particular had a strong focus towards preparing me to face injustice by teaching me how to control, conserve, and target my energy most effectively towards such goals.

I’m referring to the disturbing images on packaging.

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.

I’ve seen so many patients at the brink of death while doctors hot potato them around because no one wants to be holding the bag when the patient either gives a nurse a tbi or stops breathing from the medication you gave them to stop them from clubbing the nurses over the head. There are so many horribly medically (and usually simultaneously socially) complex patients that organizations are too afraid to treat because the risk is too high to be profitable and that’s all that matters anymore.

…,I’m pretty good at starting convo posts, lemme think a second before I give that a shot.

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.

That seems to be mostly news Articles and interested laypeople. I need a community where I can removed about patients throwing piss and punches and me and console others with similar stories.

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.

I wish I could find more Healthcare workers. My computer skills make me a bit of an odd duck in hcw spaces, but the fact that there’s none on this end doesn’t help the isolation either.

Then why do you keep fucking licking random shit OP???

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.

Thank you for your service: this kind of calculation is always an excellent addition to posts like this.

wtf

butt capitalism moar EFFICIENT tho!!!11!11!!!
