My preceptor was familiar with the patient and her antics so you needn’t lose sleep worrying over a stranger in a story in an internet comment :)

You’re right about that! Although essential tremors also frequently present in combination with incontinence seeing as how involuntary muscle spasms are caused by disfunction in the neurological system, the same neurological system that gives you voluntary control over the muscles in your sphincters.

Yes, right away! Do you want me to send you the patient’s entire chart and medical history too? That might help you decide where you want to be treated as well. I’ll email it over as soon as I get your contact details.

Maybe his bladder wasn’t full enough? I donno it’s a very common symptom but certainly doesn’t always happen. There are other ways to tell a faker, this is just a quick one.

You’re welcome :)

I used to work in healthcare and once had a patient fake a seizure for attention. I was a brand new nurse at the time and ran for my preceptor. She strolled into the room, checked to see if the bed was wet and then walked away and told me to request a psych consult. People who fake seizures never remember that they…

Is that really the standard of care? With hospital beds in such sort supply around the country, I am surprised by this. Like you could just give them a room with a chair, no?

Ok Fox News is stupid of course but I am curious why are they sitting in a hospital bed holding their newly adopted babies? I assume neither of them actually needed the bed to birth the babies so why the weird prop?

I know. I guess I live in a bubble and never really interact with people like this woman.

She sounded to me like an older lady. It was really depressing. I mean I get not having the stomach for it, or not being very interested or invested but to be so out of touch that you can’t even recognize the name of your new governor?

I honestly don’t think so. I think a whole lot of people have no idea what’s going on, sadly. I recently spoke to a customer of mine in Massachusetts who shared a last name with the newly elected governor there so I made a comment about it and she had no idea what I was talking about. I honestly thought she was…

100% on point. I also like to think about it this way: the system we have in place would never in a million years allow someone this type of “success” if they were the type of person who could “tell the difference between ‘progress’ and ‘profit.’” Backwards mooks are the only kind of people who can accumulate this…

She’s giving “Real Housewives of _____” in that screenshot above. Did she get lip injections or something? Poor Harry’s teeth also look very British.

They did one on Dr Oz too!

The average age of women having their first child is also a lot higher for those who have suffered from infertility. I have a friend who had 11 miscarriages over 10 years before she finally had her baby and she didn’t need IVF or anything, just progesterone supplementation (let’s not get into why it took so long for…

The same thing happened to me. I always wanted to have kids by like 27. Then I pushed it to 30, then 35 because I just couldn’t meet a good guy. And frankly it’s probably because I wasn’t ready for the right guy. It wasn’t until I was 34 that I even met my husband, now two years after we got married, I am about to…

I wonder how many of these laid off people are on visas though. If they are, they have 30 days to find a new job in their field or else they have to leave the country. The smart thing would be to agree to come back and then start looking for a new job that’s more stable.

Actually I think the loss of Aunt Polly was the biggest blow. But I think shows about underdogs fighting to make it are more interesting than shows about people who have made it and are working hard to consolidate and maintain their power so once the story gets to that place it’s harder and harder to keep it…

Am I the only one who finds her incredibly annoying and terrible at acting? She ruined Peaky Blinders for me. She is just so awful. Bleh.

Yeah exactly this. Like when plantation owners decried their enslaved woman as “unnatural” for trying to avoid pregnancy and/or terminating as soon and as often as they could. People will choose to procreate when they feel it’s safe for them and their offspring. The barbarous elites have created a world where very few…
