Abdominal Pain PSA
I've had a run of people admitted to the ICU after have 1-2 weeks of abdominal pain who were struggling to eat or drink that ended up having conditions leading to necrotic bowel. Dead bowel makes people incredibly sick. Like, death's door sick. Anecdotally, I'd say maybe 60% of our patients make it through such an ordeal. Every time I talk with their families, their loved ones say that they looked bad and they tried to get the patient to go get some help. Often, these people wait too long.
So.
PSA: if you're having abdominal pain and can't keep anything down for more than 48 hours (especially in the context of N/V WITHOUT bowel movements), you NEED to go to the ER. Not urgent care. Not your PCP. The ER. Please get checked out. Do not let things sit. If you have known GI disease like diverticulosis, a hernia, etc, even more of a reason to get checked out.

Tips pour RP avec des personnages ayant des troubles dys.
Je parle surtout avec mon vécu et les difficultés que je retrouve au quotidien.
(Mon texte ne sera pas corrigé via un correcteur en ligne. Risque de faute.)
• Éviter un maximum d'utiliser des polices avec des empâtement.
C'est aussi agréable pour nous que lire un pavé barré. (Lexend de Google font... Just perfect).
• Prenez le temps de séparer les lignes de dialogue du reste du texte.
Changer de couleur ne suffit vraiment pas. Sautez au moins une lignes avant et après. Surtout si l'espacement des lignes est petite.
• l'écriture inclusive c'est ok, mais pas pour tout. Le mélange de mots (celleux, createurices etc...) c'est juste une difficulté en plus pour nous.
Comme certains point médian ! Au mieux, demandez a la personne avec qui vous jouez si iel préfère le •, le . ou encore le bon vieux - (mon pref ! Celui qui le convient me mieux). Et le TOP DU TOP ! Utilisez des mots neutres, tout simplement. Genre "Les hommes et les femmes" dire "les personnes" aux lieux de celleux. (C'est mieux si l'écriture inclusive était vraiment inclusive pour un max de gens).
• Essayez d'être assez bref.
Genre ça sert vraiment a rien de broder le texte en rajoutant des mots inutiles pour dire que Eugène mange une tranche de pain de mie. Joliment le décrire, oui. En faire une tonne, non. Pas besoin de remonter jusqu'à la pouce du blé.
• Si on répond a côté de la plaque, nous le dire avec bienveillance.
Il arrive (souvent) qu'on lisent mal une phrase, ce qui peut changer le sens de la réponse qu'on nous a envoyé. Ce n'est pas un manque d'attention mais juste que parfois, certains mots se changent en d'autre mots, ce qui est problématique pour la conpréhension su texte.
• Écrire et surtout lire nous prend plus de temps et plus d'énergie.
Nous pressez ne sert a rien a part nous mettre mal. Quand le texte devant vos yeux, même avec la plus grande concentration au monde, est illisible (fatigue, stresse...). Bah on ne peut rien y faire.
• Nous rattraper sur nos fautes sans notre accord peut être... Extrêmement vexant et baisser notres estimes de nous.
On sait qu'on fait des fautes, et même avec une super explication on l'a refera au premier coup de fatigue. Écrire est surtout un plaisir, on n'as pas forcément envie d'avoir un court de français, même si de base le geste était bienveillant.
• Surtout... SURTOUT laissez nous une chance.
Personnellement j'ai souvent ressenti de la honte a cause de ça. Je fais des fautes, je passe mes RP au correcteur orthographique, mais certaines fautes restes.
Bien-sûr, chaque dys est unique. Certaines choses dites ici ne sont pas valable pour tout le monde. C'est surtout mon vécu et ce que j'ai pu entendre en parlant avec d'autre dys rpgiste (trop rare malheureusement, souvent pas honte).
C'est pour ça que le mieux à faire, c'est d'en parler en amont. A vous, personnes dys, de prévenir en cas de problème. Et a vous, les autres, d'être cool pour que tout le monde puisse partager un passe temps/passion dans la joie et la bonne humeur.
Les dys (et autres), n'ayez pas honte. Ce n'est pas parce que votre écriture n'est pas parfaite que vous écrivez mal. Nous ne sommes pas bête, pas fainéants, et non, nos troubles dys ne sont pas une "simple excuse pour mal écrire" mais bien un handicap.
N'hésitez pas a rebloguer si vous voulez rajouter quelque chose (surtout des petits conseils) ou a tout simplement le dire en commentaire.
Et soyez bienveillant, il y a déjà trop de colère en ce moment.
La bise ! ♥

no but im giggling to myself because étoiles has been pushing the “POV tu parles avec le fou dans le train pour pas qu’il te tue” meme (below the cut) for weeks and has been adapting it to various different situations with various different people to a point where the meme has become a staple with both the fr fan community and the fr streamers themselves (today they were talking about how kenny is le fou du sable, mynthos le fou du thé and étoiles le fou des bibliothèques iirc) . and now QUITE LITERALLY étoiles had to speak with the fous du purgatoire in order to not be killed and it is sending me so fucking bad, the meme came full circle and manifested into mcrp reality

Lately I've been a little too obssessed with a certain game I've been playing ClanGen since last summer, and I'm so impressed with how it has evolved so far (the only thing stopping me from drowning my nights away is that my game broke and keeps crashing each time I try to save) Also I really really like the art direction and how diverse the sprites are and I thought "heeyyy, wouldn't it be fun if I tried to recreate some of my designs in-game ?" I lied they aren't all my designs, mister 3rd row 2rd column was designed by @lb1412 (who also did the colouring for 2nd column, 4th row lady cat on the second image) ------ I'm also a dumbass and I had no idea about the cat generator that was coded in order to do exactly that- so YEAh I dug through the files and recreated the sprites myself (with a little bit of photoshopping here and there) Obviously none of the pixel art is my own, all credit goes to the fabulous team working behind @officialclangen ------
Hey psst, here's some content about those characters

Five Years as a PA-C
Well, 5 years as a PA-C really snuck up on me. I was at work on Tuesday and while checking my email, my hospital send one of those "Congrats on 5 years! Pick a cool thing from this random website!" To be perfectly frank, I was a little dumb struck.
In many ways, it just doesn't seem like that much time has passed. I work in such a fast paced, stimulating environment, constantly learning new things, that I didn't really FEEL the time. Well, at least the last 3 years. The first 2 were long and arduous.
Looking through my archives, I faithfully did reflections after the first and second years. Somehow skipped the others. Never too late to get back in it.
Lessons Learned
There are people that work in healthcare for a pay check. Let your frustration with that slide away.
Some people are just assholes. Don't overthink that. Again, let that shit go.
Some parts of medical education/residency are completely ridiculous, unfair, and unsafe. Try to change what you can (especially the unsafe).
Stand up for your boundaries. I was offered a chance to "move up" into management. I declined because I knew I would hate my job if I took on admin. Don't apologize for setting this boundary.
Cultivate relationships with your coworkers and hang out with them outside of work. This is so important for our critical care team. I believe it enhances our ability to work well together.
Use your vacation time.
Some families or patients will suck you dry. Prepare yourself for those interactions and have a plan to decompress what you absorb.
Always be excited to learn. Medicine is changing every day. Learning is a foundation of the profession.
The best decision I made was changing specialties. The second best decision I made was to turn down a management opportunity. You can challenge yourself in ways that do not result in more pay, more responsibility, or more stress. I am wanting to get my chest tube placement verification done this year. Would love to add paras to that. I want to expand the teaching I have done with my PA school and possibly guest lecture on other topics. There are a lot of things that advance a career that aren't management. For me, that is desirable.
So what next? Well, some of you know that I have some intense outside of work things going on. For now, I am hanging out where I am. Probably will go to a conference this year. Probably will do more teaching. I'm ok with that. I love critical care and I have no plans to leave it any time soon.
