They have nine beverages between the two of them
i have that painting ai app on my phone so i went ahead and took the liberty…
What they have are five beverages and four waters. Water, by definition, cannot be a beverage.
The fuck do you mean water cant be a beverage?
The personal titles are absolutely my favorite part

Take this with you
to all my white followers who stew in unnecessary guilt trying to come to terms with the privilege you have, watch this
‘k medblr. Everyone makes these posts and so will I
Name your 3 following drugsonas:
1. The drug you see yourself as.
2. The drug you actually are right now.
3. The drug you one day want to become.
Explain and tag 7 medblrs or more.
Let’s see.
I see myself as morphine - classy, stylish and never truly out of fashion.
I actually am sevoflurane - volatile, but fairly predictable. Universally accepted, but not necessarily liked.
I want one day to become ketamine - invaluable in certain scenarios and occasionally a ton of fun.
@dxmedstudent @wayfaringmd @ermedicine @purkinjebastard @gamma-dealer @licensetomurse @cranquis
I see myself as epinephrine - critical in many situations, giving people palpitations and sweats
I actually am azithromycin - frequently requested, rarely indicated
Someday I will be mercury - no longer utilized in modern medicine, but old-timers tell tales about it that make the young’uns gasp.
@populationpensive @wheresonichedgehogwnt @md-admissions @wayfaringmd (that’s twice you’ve been tagged, you lazy person you) @mdrambles @drdesertfox @hostileshrubbery
and anyone else who wants to play!
tagged by @cranquis so you know not only will I do this, I’m doing this with antibiotics!!
1. The drug you see yourself as. Ceftriaxone. Well rounded, solid, and reliable. Usually solves your problems.
2. The drug you actually are right now. Rifampin. Out there and most people don’t know what to make of it. I’m literally away from the hospital right now in classes and there’s really few to no infectious diseases people around.
3. The drug you one day want to become. Ceftazidime-avibactam. Wipes up multi-drug resistant organisms, solves your toughest cases, plays well with others, and you shit just got real when I walk through the door.
I’m gonna tag @homotologist, @ermedicine, @randommomentsdevida, @whisky–tango–foxtrot, @bleufeenix, @dxmedstudent (yes again, I can’t help but be curious!), @arianrhodswheel
I already love this so much. Tagged by @md-admissions
1) Drug I am currently, Zoloft. A bit outdated but y’all can’t get rid of me cause there’s no suitable replacement. Mysterious since no one really knows how I operate! Always reacted to differently between different people. I’m Yahtzee for your brain!
2) Drug I actually am, ferrous fumarate I’m actually really good at lifting people up with few draw backs. I find myself helping others go the distance by being able to have the energy to do the things they want to do in life.
3) Drug I hope to become, Toradol you got pain? I got the solution. Plus it goes in better injected into a large muscle ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I tag @bibliophilekindagal @undercaffeinatedrn @somethingwendythiswaycomes @defibforvfib @qxrhg @mudphudkangaroo
Ok here I am!
1) Drug I see myself as: HIV vaccine. Out to save the world from terrible disease. Not yet ready for the global stage, but in development. Previous iterations were well intended but unfortunately not effective.
2) Drug I actually am: Tylenol. A steady, faithful helper of humanity. Jack of all trades, master of none. Indicated in pregnancy, childhood, and old age. Will help with many needs but sometimes needs to step aside for bigger guns to take over.
3) Drug I want to become: Vioxx. Wonderful in its heyday but now retired (off the market), though hopefully not due to harming people.

Ambulance wins, everytime.
At a coffeeshop
Two hours ago I was in a trauma room doing compressions on a toddler. The mother’s screams mixing with the sounds nursesdoctorstechs calling out, the beeping monitors telling us what we already know. Now I’m sipping a raspberry vanilla latte out of a mug with red birds riding snowflakes listening to some 80s music. The baby inside of me is kicking. My hands still smell like gloves and hand sanitizer.
This job is completely surreal.
It’s hard to see what we see, and then go back to ‘normal’ life, surrounded by people who will hopefully never have to witness what we’ve seen, much less play an active part. Sometimes the ordinary is so jarring and suffocating that you almost can’t stand it, at other times it’s like a warm blanket, insulating you from the hurt. I hope you can take time to process, and to make peace with what happened. And to rejoin the outside world.
The first time i read this i thought “this must be such a contradictory feeling”. But when you get to actually experience it you feel everything and nothing at the same time. No contradictions, it is a new thing that you couldn’t imagine before. It is surreal in the shape of freakin’ clocks melting.
I got my first taste of this type of surreal during the start of my second semester as a first year (so. this year haha) and I was doing History and PE on a trauma patient in the ICU (electrical burns).
And while we were taking history, the patient beside ours (it’s a government hospital so the beds are literally right next to each other), was surrounded by family.
They were talking. I couldnt see them but judging by the sound of their voice, i was pretty sure they were holding back tears. A few minutes later, there was a long pause and a longer songular beeping sound. The patient had flatlined, as confirmed by the sudden wailing from maybe his wife? daughter? Anyway, all I could see through the little slit between the thin drapes that divide us was a lifeless body.
And it was weird to see someone die up close, right in front of you. I wasn’t disturbed or anything. It was just… the first time I saw someone die. I’ve never even seen an old relative die. After that, I continued with our Hx and PE taking like I had not just witnessed death for the very first time. Like nothing happened. By the time we were finished with hx taking, the body had already been moved.
And until that moment, it never really registered to me how HEAVY the job that I signed up for was. Like the first few months of medschool were managable and I was excited because everything was new and fresh. But then you remember that you have. actual LIVES in your hands. And some days, I get anxious and I wonder if I’ll ever live up to the expectations of a docror. But most days, I feel numb idk. Maybe that’s why I was able to move on quickly.Im scared. Am I gonna be this numb for the rest of my life? I dont really know. I’ll check back in two years after clerkship, I guess haha
It’s weird and it’s hard, and non-healthcare people can only try to understand what it’s like to have these responsibilities and deal with these problems. There’s no right or wrong way to process the complex array of things we go through, but it helps to talk with friends and reach out if you are struggling to deal with it.
The first time I felt this feeling was when I walked out of my first cadaver lab. I stepped out onto this sunny college campus surrounded by young healthy people, and I smelled like death and formeldahyde because I had been cutting apart corpses for hours, and I felt like a member of a different species. Not a monster, exactly, but alien.
The first time I felt this was after my first code. Not even out of the hospital but this man was dead, I was the last person to touch him (compressions) and we went back upstairs to finish rounding, the attending was frustrated that he left his coffee downstairs. I couldn’t even focus I was so jarred by witnessing my first death, just felt sort of shocked and empty. I kept waiting for someone to address what had just happened but nobody ever did.
Now though codes are less common in peds, I still see horrible things and am able to flip the situation off and continue to work, or go home and live a normal life. I will, however, be sure to debrief my med students once I am a resident…
Being a paramedic
Ppl “what’s the hardest thing about being a paramedic”
Me “The paper work”
Ppl “… but like what’s the worst thing you have seen”
Me “the paper work”
Ppl “ but the dead people!?”
Me “listen Karen, we aren’t about to hash out the trauma I have pushed deep deep down”
That feeling after working an epic trauma
