med people are so annoying "This family's 8 year old child who was about to go through a major surgery and kept crying that she was hungry so they pitied her and gave her food, she then had a heart attack in the surgery. They're so stupid 😒" girl they didn't know that could happen or why it happens. it takes so little time to explain to them that will happen instead of telling them "no food" with no explanation 10 times

[revizyonist]

"Before surgery, your body’s reflexes that protect your airway are relaxed by anesthesia. If there’s food or liquid in your stomach, it will near certainly come back up and go into your lungs, which can cause choking, a severe lung / heart infection or even a heart attack. That’s called aspiration, and it is life-threatening. It's hard, but it's only a single day to prevent near certain death. Not eating or drinking beforehand massively lowers the risk and helps prevent these life threatening situations under anesthesia." <- TIP: patients have brains which allows them to receive information just like you

[ancelineonline]

I have four kids. I’ve had one or another of them need some kind of surgical procedure that requires anesthesia four or five times over the past 15 years.

This Tumblr post is the first time someone has explained to me *why* I couldn’t feed them before those instances.

I’m not stupid. I understood that just fine. Hell, my kids would have understood that just fine. But no one bothered to tell us.

I have a lot of rare diseases so doctors tend to have students with them when they see me, and I am never not confused by how shocked they are that when they take their little aside to explain something to the student I lean in and listen because like....why wouldn't I want to know how my body and illnesses work? That's important information for me to have so I can take care of myself and convey my needs to other doctors when the time comes.

Sadly a lot of doctors and medical professionals seem to think patients need to know very little about their own health, hell I've had doctors add entire diagnoses to my chart and never say a word to me about it. Very concerning, especially given how often doctors will say one thing to me and then not write it in my chart so other doctors don't believe me about what was discussed!! Hate this shit!!

[transcyberism]

A lot of doctors seem to be under the impression that if they tell the patient too much, the patient will become a hypochondriac.

As someone who has struggled with hypochondria... bitch I will literally just Google it if you don't tell me, hell, I'll probably Google it anyway, this is your chance to actually educate your patient instead of leaving them to figure it out themselves. you will not prevent them from experiencing health anxiety by being secretive about their health, that does the opposite!!!

being on an airplane is a lot like being in kindergarten

[mastermatoyas]

I wanna hear where you're going with this

[sukimas]

-there's snacktime

-there's always some kid screaming

-the authority figures are mostly there to keep you safe rather than get you to do anything in particular

-all else equal they would really rather you take a nap, though

nothing has ever felt as good as being on the streets of budapest tonight. the roads arent closed but they're so full of people the cars are barely able to go but the drivers are all completely chill with being stuck and they're all blasting music and reaching their hands out to high five the people walking. the entire city is so energised. i probably dont agree politically with like 70% of these people but for now everyone is beyond themselves. we actually did it they're gone!!!! it's fucking over!!!!!!!!!!!!

americans are sooo desensitized to guns and sometimes it manifests in ways that affect your media literacy. like remember in the first episode of sherlock when john watson opens up his drawer and you see a gun in there and youre supposed to understand that this is narratively significant and conveys his suicidality as well as his willingness to skirt rules and laws but the first time i watched it i was like oh well theres his desk gun. lots of people have those

[natalieironside]

Y'know that feeling when you're like really really mad at somebody for no good reason and you know it's for no good reason but knowing that doesn't do anything to make the anger go away it just means u feel angry and also like a big a dumbass

[natalieironside]

The fact that rationally analyzing my emotions isn't the same as controlling them is a serious design flaw in the UI, if u ask me

[orteil42]

social media sites should let you add custom buttons on your profile. like maybe you get max 3 buttons and they can have whatever text you want. and each button has its own persistent counter for how many times it's been clicked. here's some concept art

[bramblepatch]

The person who made cookie clicker thinks we should all have buttons that you click and the numbers go up? You don't say.
