#medical degree at work

[jpollens]

Man: Doc I keep straining my back

Doctor: let me take a look.

Doctor: Just going off the exam it looks like you are at that age where your body isn't going to work like it used to. But stretching it daily should help

------------------------------------------------------------------

Woman: Doc I keep straining my back

Doctor: Yea it's cause you're overweight

Woman: Really? My weight?

Doctor: Yea you need to lose like 40 plus pounds

Woman: ok, is there anything else I could do while I lose the weight ?

Doctor: Not really, just work out more and eat less.

Woman: Aren't you going to do an exam

Doctor: No need

So I was reading this transcript of an interview the Kratt brothers did and at one point Martin talks about how he almost became a veterinarian, but ended up changing his mind and becoming a zoologist.... so I raise you.... TEAM MEDIC MARTIN?????

Bro carries around a slew of random medical supplies on him at all times. (Just like the creature power disks nobody understands how he can remember where everything is but he's always handy with exactly what he needs)

Chris skins his knees climbing up a cliff? Martin's got bandages and antibacterial spray.

Koki burns her hand while tuning up the Tortuga? He's got burn cream and a cool towel and making sure she compresses it for at least 10 minutes

and God forbid someone in the Tortuga so much as SNIFFLES in his presence. It's bed rest, soup, and fluids from there.

And beyond that, I think he'd be very knowledgeable about natural remedies too. They ran out of cooling ointment for their sunburns? its okay, they can use the aloe vera plant sitting in the window! Aviva is nauseous because she's had nothing but redbull and coffee for 2 days? peppermint oil and ginger tea!

Just like how they learned from the Orangutans about the leaves that relieve muscle sores, Martin would pull a lot of inspiration from nature's remedies.

#wild kratts #chris kratt #littlecrittereli #martin kratt #kratt brothers #I also think it would be so sweet if he learned a lot of it from his mom #(who is also a veterinarian) #like he almost went to school for it #so he probably expressed interest in the subject and she taught him the basics #and you don't usually attempt to get a degree in something unless you're fairly confident you can work in that field #so yeah Medic Martin :) #thank you for coming to my ted talk

Another weird medical question for y'all! This one is benadryl (diphenhydramine) related. Well, these ones, plural A. Have you ever gotten so upset and/or emotional you spiked a fever? B. Have you ever taken benadryl for a fever, emotion-caused or not and C. Did the benadryl completely fix your fever? Before anyone points it out, yes I know none of that should I work that way. I did not take the benadryl for the fever, I took the benadryl for the oncoming allergic reaction that was starting, and then once it kicked in I no longer had a fever. I am aware all of that is weird, which is why I am asking these questions lol

#the person behind the yarn #tj asks weird questions #medical mention #medication mention #children's chewable benadryl cures all my issues (except low blood pressure and muscle spasms) #and it shouldn't! this is not medical advice #half the stuff benadryl fixes for me should not work that way! #both in that allergic reactions shouldn't cause those symptoms and in that benadryl shouldn't fix it #but the fever is new I'll admit #it raised my temp by like a degree and a half from my baseline #but also sometimes if I get too upset my blood pressure drops like a rock and I swoon like something from a victorian novel #so of those two ways my autonomic system could completely fail to handle emotional stress #I might prefer the fever????

it's good news thank god 😭😭😭

#iui tag #last time this was the first indication that things weren't going right #because it was only a 30% increase and it needed to be 60-100% for her to think everything was normal #but this time my levels went up by 216% 😭😭😭 #i am weeping in a study room #maybe it's all going to be okay #my ultrasound is next thurs (week and a half) #i am going to try SO hard to stay in the headspace of joy during this brief window where i have no medical encounters #she mentioned that if i am feeling really anxious about the utlrasound i can have one more blood draw done in the meantime #and i think i will try to be chill but will keep that in reserve if i really need confirmation that things are going ok #but JOY JOY JOY #anyway in other news i think i might have a bit of light pregnancy loss trauma 🫠 #the degree to which i was out of my fucking mind all weekend and all day today was just uh #it was a lot #i was so sick with adrenaline i was shaking on the drive to work #but okay #just gonna #focus on the joy of right now

For Valentine's Day, it's time to get real about Silco and Singed and the unfulfilled emotional affair they've been carrying out for years. For years, likely over a decade these men have known each other. At first, they most certainly relied on each other out of convenience because who else would have these men that fell from grace?

A disgraced academic and a gangster betrayed by the one closest to him who's living on borrowed time. And yet they found eachother and made it work. Did anyone believe in the potential of Shimmer before Silco supported him? Were there any real pathways to successfully intimidate Piltover before Singed created Shimmer? The worst tragedies of their lives led them to one another, and through the each other enabled the drive and fruition of their deepest desires.

Through the years their partnership never waned, Singed didn't even hard feelings towards Jinx over the explosion, Silco is comfortable to let her get a second opinion from him. I like to think when Silco adopted Jinx, it was unlocked this last barrier to an emotional connection that Silco and Singed were capable of. It wasn't Silco and Singed's escapades in bastardry and enabled eachother's ruthless drive, it was the love both had for their children is what humanized them best to other.

Now all I can think about is if after saving Jinx's, if Singed learned that Silco died, he might feel frustration at losing a stable long-term partner. When Singed learns that it was Jinx who killed Silco, he'll be relieved, because of one had to die that day, it's best for a parent to never watch child die, Singed can say from experience.

I don't know how to end this.

Tldr: Silco and Singed are the real old man yaoi of Arcane. Happy Valentine's Day!

#arcane #silco #singed arcane #sinco #two men work together for years supporting the other's spiral into brutality and depravity #it's a love story for the ages #singed is the shady doctor silco marries post zaundads divorce that vander is apprehensive to let the kids around #he's cool tho don't ask if he still has a medical degree

This is a first chapter of my first fic which will be posted to AO3 around the 12/12 time (I’m waiting on my invitation lol). I’d also love a beta reader but I literally don’t know how to get one.

Who is This Kid?

Ch1

BANG.

Silence. Not total silence. Price was shouting, Gaz was shouting, Ghost was shouting. There was a lot of shouting.

Johnny fell, hit the ground hard and then didn’t move. He was bleeding, a lot. There was blood on Ghosts knee, from where he knelt down next to him. It was in Soaps hair, on his clothes, on his gun, everywhere.

“DISARMED” there was a shout from Gaz. It sounded like he was underwater. It was then when Ghost finally took his hand off Johnnys pulse point. A simple shake of the head said it all. Soap Mactavish was KIA.

—————

They didn’t try to bring him home with them.

Well didn’t try is an understatement, Ghost and Gaz tried, they had him upright and ready to be lifted before Price told them to leave it to the recon and collection crews.

So that’s what they did. Johnny stayed on the ground, blood still steeping from his head, slowly. Ghost couldn’t look anymore, his best mate, and possible crush, dead on the floor of some tube station next to a disarmed bomb.

—————

Ghost was laying on his bed next to some sickly man at a civilian hospital. He had gone nonverbal for a few days after the mission. Then suddenly one day he knocked on Prices door, drunk off his head and said some shit. Things along the lines of: “I’ll carve his name into a bullet and paint the wall red and pink.”

He probably should’ve specified that he was talking about Makarov. Ghost was not suicidal, he had not once attempted. Ghost was not unstable. Ghost passed every psych eval except for his last one. He was 5 points off of a pass, he failed due to the ‘what are your plans out of the military question?’

He had said “buy a nice house and hunt.” They had asked what, he had said “anything that moves really.”

So what it was a bit vague, he was feeling vague at that moment. So he ended up on watch and not allowed leave. He wouldn’t have taken one anyway. He got taken off watch and sent to a hospital when his gun was found on range after he had left for a moment with one bullet with ‘J. Mactivish’ carved into it.

Ghost is not suicidal. Ghost was planning on shooting Makarov with that one. He just grabbed some ammo from his room and loaded up. He had not realized that it was Johnnys bullet.

He spent a week in the hospital, then was released. He found himself back on base to spend his 2 week medical leave ordered by his psychiatrist.

When he entered his room, everything slowed to a halt and then sped back up. There was a note on his door.

‘Lieutenant Riley

We feel as though we have to tell you personally, John Leon ‘Soap’ Mactavish has been formally reported KIA as of 11/23/23. All living family has been contacted and his body was cremated on 11/25/23. Our deepest condolences go to you.’

He chuckled lightly at Johnnys middle name. Then he was laughing, then he was laughing as tears slipped out, and then he was sitting on the floor of Prices office as he was being held. Wait. When the hell did he get there. Well never mind that, his captain and father figure (he would never tell a soul that) was holding him. It was nice.

—————

Ghosts 2 weeks were up. He was cleared for duty. During those weeks they had sent Johnny to rest in the wind and water. He was wearing his dog tags along his. They had found evidence of Makarov in a remote and seemingly abandoned village along the Russia-Malaysia border. Heat signatures were suddenly picked up after 3 months of nothing more than a few wild animals.

It was decided that the 141 would go in and attempt to apprehend Makarov. Ghost would be sniping while Gaz and Price would go in. Johnny would be watching down on them.

—————

It was a simple mission. No casualties on either side. Turns out they ran just hours before the 141 were wheels up. They still looked and looked, for anything really. They were searching through a file cabinet when a file was picked up and a few Polaroids fell out.

“Captain, you have to see this.” Gaz was speaking slowly and sounded scared. It took a lot to scare Gaz, and pictures are usually not something soldiers who’ve seen so much should be afraid of.

“Gaz, what do you have…” 5 pictures, 2 head wounds, 2 soldiers, 1 person in a hospital bed, one person on the ground.

The dead man was not John, the man in hospital was. The final photo was a picture taken in a dark room with flash, a buzzed head with a bloody bandage. He looked terrible, bruised, bloody, beaten, and the worst part, he was looking towards the camera, but not at it. 1000 yard stare, as his therapist would say.

The entire village was searched again, with 100% more thoroughness. They didn’t find anybody. What they did find the second round was the hospital bed that he was laying in in the picture. There was a blood stain on the top of the mattress and metal restraints at the sides. They also found a copy of the records they kept on him.

The bullet had penetrated his skull and somehow missed his brain and exited 4 inches above the entry wound on the top of his head, nearly shattering his skull. He was kept alive on life support for 5 days, before throwing up the intubation and passing out. He was then ‘taken to the positive psychology ward’, meaning roughly that he was now in the process of being seemingly brainwashed. There was one photo with a date on it 12/4/23, it was a picture of Soap with a M branded onto his collarbone and mouth slightly open, broken nose and disassociated.

That man in the photo may be Soap, but there was no way it was Johnny.

#ghostsoap #ghoap #ew wtf is that ship name is sounds like boat #fanfic #give me suggestions #but be nice about it #I literally have never written something like this #I listened to ICP before and after making this #probably influenced how it turned out #ao3 crosspost #SOON #LIKE DECEMBER 12 OR 13 #horrifyingly inaccurate #like how does the military work #but it’s fine because I got my medical degree from grey anatomy

something a little silly

(he's not actually angry at the "drugs" thing, just busy trying not to die)

oh i almost forgot

transcript of my bad handwriting:

Student 1: Hi, Mr. Parker!

Peter: mm-hm

Student 1: Mr. Parker? Hello?

(Student 2: Huh?)

Panel 5:

Peter: Hm?

Student 1: What are those, tic tacs?

#came in through the window last night #peter parker #nadiart #fanadiart #rough art #comics #spiderman #always feel weird tagging the au stuff just cause it's so specific but... well i won't pretend i look at the peter parker tag lol #a post arguably still about a somewhat serious topic but with a more lighthearted mood #bright blue capsules = 5mg generic prazosin just fyi #he takes it starting in early 2013 to prevent flashbacks and nightmares (technically it's a blood pressure medication tho) #he takes it in morning. afternoon (at work). and bedtime. otherwise he can barely leave the house. #i was picturing this in fall after he's a little more functional but still kinda fucked #In Retrospect I'm not sure that him getting a job in 2013 makes sense though like it's a miracle he graduated from his master's program #on the other hand he strikes me as the kind of guy who works himself harder when stressed... but a few months is a very quick turnaround #maybe i should have him doing full time classes instead of pt and finish his degree over fall 2012 or smth... idk #i'll figure all that stuff out Later #anyway my approach to peter's shirts is generally anything that looks thrifted where he saw it in all its hideousness and said #''i love it'' #also don't get it twisted the only reason peter even carries a water bottle is for his pills #accidentally pavlov'd himself into being hydrated but not into buying a reusable bottle lmao

i have been diagnosed with “rather severe” fibromyalgia

#and ‘likely’ the me/cfs double whammy but he couldn’t determine my #degree of PEM so i’d have to find someone else to confirm it #pegasus speaks #they told me i was gonna have to stay on the psych ward until monday or tuesday if i wanted to see the rheumatologist #bc they don’t work weekends and there is no outpatient option #(told me this AFTER i had been discharged .. like after they had cleaned my room and put someone else in it) #i’d been waiting for them to come see me all day and then evening rolled around and still nothing #and i’ve been fighting for this for years so i agreed. but i cried so hard the doctor arranged for an on-call to see me #did the whole physical and ultrasounds and went over all the blood work and my history again #and i got to go home after #i’m so thankful to that man #feels like shit to know how poor the prognosis is but i’m comforted to have a concrete starting point #to know i’m not delusional after 6-7 years of seeking medical attention for this #i’m both saddened and so relieved #and above all exhausted

Doctors are so funny they're always like 'anyone can become a doctor it's the most noble and faultless profession in the world and if you don't consider doing it you're selfish' but also 'omg guys i have imposter syndrome i'm going to fail out of medical school' but also 'no one is qualified to be a doctor except ME >:-('

#remembering a guy i was once chatting with at work and considering taking it to 'chatting up' territory #until he was going on and on about his job and suddenly decided he needed to dumb it down for me #with 'um 🧐 do you know what a medical resident is 🤨' #like even if i didn't have a secret stem degree yes i know what a resident is #we've all seen house md mr. big shot- relax

Love when fundamentalist christians call other fundamentalist christians a cult like I can accept telling children they'll go to hell if they don't hug the parent that spanked them and smile, but I draw the line at suggesting barcodes contain the mark of the beast

#they built a new hobby lobby in my hometown #so I told my family about how I don't mess with hobby lobby and they were like ??? why??? #so I told them and they were like 😶 #my grandparents are pentecostal apparently #my dad is just vibing tbh #he's even anti-quiverfull #which makes sense he was the oldest of 6 and got Heavily Parentified #he also accepts me as trans #we stan one (1) [Last Name] man in this household #that's a joke for friends of mine that follow me here #n e ways it's so wild talking to my dad and him agreeing the duggars and hobby lobby and all them are in a cult #cause his own dad told me I was too tall and unfeminine to get married #so he saw that shit and shut it down real quick #and even started working on himself and moving away from that mindset #my aunt still complains about my masculinity but I legit don't talk to her if I can avoid it #but she also told me to eat oatmeal to fix my heat-related high blood pressure so #(can't believe she has a medical degree) #my family will call catholics and JWs cults but turn around and say the cultiest shit #it's wild #ex christian #religious trauma #child abuse tw

[realasslesbian]

Personal but: tomorrow I gotta call my neurologist's office and ask them to transfer my medical record to my doctor, so that he can sign off on my disability pension, and I can't wait to hear what excuse I'm going to get for why they cannot perform this basic fucking task. It's gonna be like "actually because we write our medical records on circle-shaped paper we're unable to scan it into normal square-shaped paper format, so that's why we can't transfer your medical record, guess you'll just have to choose between death by seizure or death by starvation uwu". And I know anyone reading this will be thinking I'm just being silly and dramatic and to that I say: tune in tomorrow and find out lmao

#then after that I gotta actually get this doctor to fill out the form correctly #which you would think would be easy for someone with a whole ass medical degree #but everyone always a dumbass around me so BET #and THEN once I've gotten two consecutive people to do their jobs I gotta face the final boss #which is the welfare office #which is notoriously staffed by devoutly malignant dumbasses #looking at the doctor's statement #deciding they don't know better than a doctor #which often they DO decide they know better than a doctor so that ain't a given #and then looking at that in conjunction with my homelessness #and coming to the conclusion that I might in fact struggle to work full-time #and if they still want to force me to do pointless activities to punish me for relying on welfare #that I should at least be referred to a disability employment service #who will be far better equipped to force me to do those things in a way that ain't gonna result in me in an emergency department #so all this gotta line up all these people gotta act right in a row #and I never get people acting right ever #so I have low expectations #but I have over the years grown some humour about this sort of thing so I genuinely can't wait to see how ridiculous this gets #lmao

[thetimelordbatgirl]

"An enormous untapped resource" So uh, basically going all exploitation mode with the idea that its okay to look at people and wonder how much of a resource the people are and if they can be exploited. Plus not said on the post but in the video itself, anyone on disability benefits and sick pay are described as mucking around and its somehow a choice to not work...literally not joking when saying that.

#uk politics #bbc #just...its so hard to word my anger at the 'mucking around' thing #let alone the 'its a choice' thing from the way they act on the panel #like hahaha yes...totally a choice... #totally a choice guys.... #seriously are they pulling their medical degrees out their asses #also untapped resource #so guess it really is just becoming 'work anyone they can to death'

[d0d0-b0i]

it’s weird how much lighter my life feels now. not that i don’t have any issues (because there are many in my life, as i am sure there are in yours), but they’re just so much more manageable than they were a year ago.

​what’s more; i love myself now. i may not be perfect. but i am trying my best, and i can tell that i am! i see myself in the mirror, and sometimes i just examine myself, and my features, and i smile. i feel so much more authentic when talking to people, not worrying about how they view me, because i don’t have to anymore. i wish i could’ve told 15-year old me just how good it’s gotten so far, i know that he would’ve loved hearing about the shitty sideburns we’re growing out right now :’)

#it gets better :) #i used to think that transitioning medically wouldn’t lessen the sadness and depression i felt #and to some degree it is still there since t isn’t a cure all #but by the gods it is so much fucking easier to deal with everything #when a major reason for my mental health being the way it was has been abated #it’s like the fog cleared enough for me to actually see the road i’m driving on #instead of assuming blindly that i won’t crash #once i get top surgery. #idk. i wonder if things will be even easier? #i’m almost a year in and already my life feels so much brighter. yeah there’s problems with keeping the house. and yeah #i don’t have an income yet and i don’t know if the internship will even be in the cards for me #but. i just feel that everything will work out. enough for me to enjoy the time i have here :) #sorry i am being sappy but god! i love and i love! so much now!! i feel so much and i enjoy nearly every day despite the Issues #the world is getting worse but still i find reasons to love and live #so maybe one day it will get better? maybe one day my love will have helped even #if you’re reading. i love you. even if you’re just a follower #even if we’re mutuals that haven’t talked before #i think about you often. i wonder where my oldest mutual went after they stopped posting years ago #i don’t think i can forget. and i love you. and i wish i. could give you a hug. we all need one from time to time #i love the friends i’ve made and the friends i’ve had. i love. and this past year has opened up my floodgates of emotion
