“I want to be a vet” is a common childhood dream… but I’m curious just how widespread it is!

samdean having the same blood type is so important to me like icb we never saw them giving each other blood transfusions.

it would’ve been john’s idea at first… sam gets a serious injury on one of his first hunts and he’s losing blood but they’re in the woods and john— calm, ignoring the obvious horror and self-blame on dean’s face— orders dean to the car, go get the first aid kit. dean’s out of breath when he gets back, silently taking over putting pressure on sam’s wound, entire focus on keeping him awake, you’re okay sammy, just look at me. he barely takes notice of john until he’s pulling dean’s left hand off sam, pushing up his sleeve. dean doesn’t even glance at him until he feels something stick in his forearm. that’s when he looks, seeing plastic tubing and needles. he makes brief eye contact with his father, understanding despite never going to a doctor before, and turns back to sam. sam barely reacts to the needle in his arm, just a weak flutter of eyelids, and dean sits there in shock until john smacks him on the side of the head, ordering him to stand up. dean obeys, already a good soldier at 17. he stands over sam like a guardian angel, watching his blood travel down the tube into sam’s veins as john sews the hole in his abdomen shut.

john knows from looking at him that he must be lightheaded, but dean still insists on helping sammy back to the car, sticking close to him like he doesn’t want to let go.

both boys in the backseat, pale from blood loss, but alive. sam’s head is on dean’s shoulder, and deans arm is around him, blood-stained fingers dragging up and down his arm slowly, soothing.

john doesn’t even argue about them sharing a bed that night; he’s too tired. dean refuses to leave sam’s side for a moment, washing the blood and grime off sam’s face, hands and stomach without doing the same for himself. they fall asleep with sam’s face almost against dean’s chest and dean’s arms tight around him, feeling him breathing.

once they know they can, they do it a lot. dean offering when it’s really not necessary, and sam letting him, both pretending they don’t just enjoy sharing everything about themselves.

and Maybe when they get a drop of blood on their hands they just lick it off instead of dirtying their clothes and Maybe that’s where sam got his taste for blood from but who am i to say

#dean gets a violent reminder that sam actually Is still tiny and delicate and dean could lose him #and dean hates john for bringing his baby on the hunt #i just know john was happy about the two of them having the same blood type…. even when they were babies #i love field medicine as long as it’s This #they’re such freaks #ik for demon blood plot purposes this wouldn’t happen but idc man #do you think that sam drank rubys blood and missed how deans tasted #weirdcest #wincest #weecest #samdean #blood kink #mars.txt #teenchesters #pre series

I’ve always loved medicine bc it’s the perfect intersection of science and humanity—the two things I value above all else in this world. Truly adored it since I was in the cradle. But now I’m thinking about how so much of my journey to neurosurgery will have to involve KILLING my feelings essentially bc how do you survive otherwise

#Not to mention the surprisingly high suicide rate of surgeons that’s been brought to my attention lately #Honestly I just started my neuro internship and just saw my first patient in clinic #And on the day I did I was critical of my neurologist for being so robotic about it #Now I can see why #I’m still at a point where I can’t even do a chart review for a patient without feeling so fucking sad #And I can see how that can get unsustainable after a while #But it’s like if I kill the feelings that drive my passion for medicine to begin with then what’s the point #It’s not like I’m in it for the money or prestige bc that’s so dumb considering how long the schooling is #But literally how to deal #My supervisors at the clinic very much all speak about the dementia patients w a learned impartialness #But I don’t wanna be that way one day :( but how to be anything else and still survive #I’m pre med so I still have time and maybe my opinion will change and I’ll wanna do another specialty #But when it comes to this every specialty will involve human lives and navigating that regardless #That said I can see why surgeons are at higher risk or depression suicide etc #The whole point of this internship is to teach myself how to navigate this stuff but. Hate it #p #med tag

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.

Maccready is YET ANOTHER sadman deadwife™????!!!!!! asdfghjkl That's what? FOUR major characters in one game if you play Male Sole Survivor??? What did women DO to Bethesda's writers????

#He's still my son and I love him but COME ON😒🤪 #I get it's the wasteland and people die a lot because of lack of medical access/violence but???? #And also naturally with the NIGHTMARE of pre-modern medicine childbirth women & others who can give birth would be dying more #I refuse it he fucking adopted his kid! I also refuse to believe it's Little Lamplight Lucy. That'd be real cute but NO she deserves BETTER #Every female character deserves better but 'y know what I mean #(& Yes I know Deacon's backstory. It got spoiled for me. Fine with that because I'm so busy being disappointed by the lack of originality) #(I'm sure I'm rehashing an old frustration in this post.) Tis that sweet sweet game industry & gamer misogyny- innit? 🙃🙃🙃 #Swear to god I NEVER EVER want to see this shitty overdone trope EVER AGAIN #It IS badass girlboss of Female Sole to have her husband fridged for HER plot though 😌 #*I originally said three major characters and then I remembered Kellog's backstory. swear to god if there are MORE I'm writing todd himself #fallout #fallout 4 #fo4 #kat plays fo4

It wasn’t just a laugh. He was giggling. He was literally physically adjusting himself because he was laughing. A wide-grinned and teeth showing smile. His face was red. He was wiggling his fingers to try and keep himself from laughing. But when this little girl is behind him laughing and prodding at him, how can he not? And him fully giving into that laughter just makes her laugh more which, in turn, makes him laugh more. While momentary, he is happy right now. He’s experiencing joy, even. Sure, it faded soon enough. But this moment? When they’re trying to sleep and probably at a time of night where laughter is easier to come by, no matter who you are, it’s easier. They’re not running or fighting or surviving or killing. They’re in the comfort of each other! And they get to just be for the night. And because of her, because of some stupid dad joke she memorized from her book, he laughs. Something she’s wanted to accomplish from day one. A not a blow-air-out-of-your-nose laugh. A real laugh. And she got it. And he, for probably the first time in a long time, got restful sleep.

#the saying is right you know #laughter is the best medicine #especially for someone like joel miller #this was pre apocalypse him. there was no difference. #I just can’t believe he GIGGLED. he may be 56 but he is tiny. very small man. #the last of us hbo #tlou spoilers #joel miller #ellie williams

wait,df cats teaching medicine cats Fucked Up and Evil Medicine is so cool. and it kinda makes sense to go after a prospective medicine cat,the clan's connection to starclan

FUCKED UP AND EVIL MEDCATS ARE UNDERUSED says tumblr user bonefall, known Herbguide McFennelposter

In addition to Fucked Up And Evil medicine you'll also notice a lot more of my medics are aware of, and USE their power. Both spiritual, and social.

-Runningnose is Brokenstar's collaborator now and loves fucked up and evil rituals

-Goosefeather is loyal to the concept of fate and follows his visions loyally, including trying to install Thistlestar into power

-Kestrelflight is buckling under the pressure of being appointed as a medcat without a mentor (Barkface dies before the journey) and this pushes his brother Harespring to consider the dark forest

-Spottedleaf and Featherwhisker are both very aware that they're above consequence as long as they're not caught (thankfully they both happen to be nice people)

-Sagewhisker basically guilts a young adult into a vow of chastity

-Jayfeather fights god

TIRED of the medcat role being a sad and tormenting position to have. Give me evil priests for battle cats. Give me power-hungry apprentices who realize there's 10 competitors for the deputy position; but not a single one for the medcat den. Show me curses and poisons, PLEASE.

#For the record I write them as if they are priests or clerics #The Clans are in England so I reference a lot of pre-witch trial understanding of Christianity #Bonefall Rewrite #Medicine Cats

Any vets out there that took a non-traditional path? I'm thinking of taking a few years in-between to finish a few classes and gain experience.

Any advice is welcome as all the veterinarians I know went directly after undergrad and have been no help.

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.
