Hear ye, hear ye 🔔

Once again my full lab workup is completely normal - liver, kidneys, thyroid, cholesterol are all normal. The only difference is I have a new doctor and he DIDN'T MAKE A BIG DEAL ABOUT IT. There was no sigh, no "well even though-" and there was no additional lecture about my weight.

I am fat - 20+ years of depression and SI will do that. At my age now I hold weight but, that doesn't mean I am unhealthy. I walk my dog 2-2.5 miles a day - if I don't she goes insane. I take the stairs at work and can do it faster than the skinny people usually lol

Weight is not the physical representation of health. My last doctor was pushing surgery because I wasn't losing weight fast enough. I don't have to.

As long as I am not actively trying to end myself, I am doing just fine. Losing weight is just a perk.

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.

[rhumphr4]

Sigh - this is a story that I have been telling for almost a decade now. We explained why the patient could not eat prior to surgery, as they were a CHILD we explained that all to the parents. They voiced understanding and we answered questions, everything was good to go.

Until the child aspirated SCRAMBLED EGGS AND FUCKING PANCAKES. What was a routine surgery became so much more life threatening because the parents thought that we were "being too hard on them, they were hungry" and you almost killed them, way to go.

Here's to every pet-related worker who has to deal with "Her name is BELLA you've seen her before just look her up." You're a real one. May you grow in power for every Bella in your system.

[happyhealthycats]

I don't say this to shame owners for their pets names. But please know that if you bring in your goldendoodle Bella, or your black cat named Loki, or your corgi named Ein - Please give staff some additional info to help locate your pet's information. Approximately 1/10th of that database is filled with pets who have the exact same name and breed as your animal, don't get mad if we can't find them immediately please.

[happyhealthycats]

The 605 Bella Smiths in our system would like a word with you.

[trollprincess]

See also: Teddy, Cooper, Stella, Charlie, Finn, Leo, Lola, Luna …

Like, you try getting one Teddy at a doggy daycare/dog camp to listen to you when there’s three other Teddys in the group. They don’t know their last name. They’re all very cute names. But going out with the dogs at my job is like when I was a kid and literally ten percent of my class was named Jennifer.

[francesweyr]

So what you’re saying is that shouting “Bella” at the dog park would be like yelling “Mom” at the grade school pickup

[happyhealthycats]

You get it.

It may interest you all to know that this is a thing with exotics too.

Rabbits named Thumper and Bun Bun, skunks named Flower, ferrets and raccoons named Rocket and Bandit, pythons named Monty, lizards named Spike, Toothless, Bowser, and Drogon, turtles/tortoises named Shelly and Leonardo. But typically not the other ninja turtles, oddly enough.

[rhumphr4]

Mine get the full government name treatment bc the staff love them so much 😆 when your pets have human first, middle and last names it makes people laugh, there's a split second when the other people waiting are like hold up.

Hercule Poirot and Inspector Japp discuss the details of another case.

[byjove]

Hot take? I’m not pro-infanticide by any means but I think there is a distinct difference between giving birth and panicking and abandoning the baby and stabbing your spouse to death in cold blood. Due to abortion bans, attacks on sexual education and increasing stigma around contraception, we are going to see a new renaissance of ‘dumpster babies’ and it is important to note that behind every carelessly abandoned neonate, there is a person who just went through an extremely painful and terrifying ordeal and may still be in danger. Abandoned newborn cases get so much media attention, much more than many violent homicides and missing persons cases in desperate need of clues. It’s important to withhold judgement and understand that the individual who gave birth may not be the party responsible for the abandonment and death and if they are, there may be other mitigating factors that effect their criminal responsibility.

Also, police are chomping at the bit to prosecute these girls and women, even in cases where the infant was stillborn and the woman did absolutely nothing wrong, like the Kerry babies case. Use critical thinking skills and don’t fall victim to sensationalist media.

I wonder if this shit has happened in the dark and that's what people thought were Spaceships. Damn it Earl you didn't see aliens, you lost our fucking tent!

[hawkeyeslaughter]

do you think hawkeye , radar , and klinger or even frank and margaret sometimes forget that henry isn’t there anymore . do you think that hawk sometimes wanders all the way to the door of potter’s office , tired from a long surgery and thinking he’s gonna get a few drinks in with henry and then he remembers . do you think klinger puts on a dress he knows henry always liked with a big smile because he can’t wait to hear henry say something about it and then takes pause mid dress ? do you think radar absentmindedly signs henry’s name to a document without really thinking ? do you think margaret comes into potter’s office , frank in tow , and starts with “ colonel bl — “ and then corrects herself ?

those posts always go around that are like “if you’re on Tumblr and you’re over 25 blah blah blah” but honestly if you’re on Tumblr and you’re under 25, I don’t know how the fuck you found this place. like I came here when it was actually kind of cool and then just never left because all my stuff was here. what’s your excuse

[rhumphr4]

I was here when it was fun, artists were inspired, people talked daily and there were ship wars lol. I was here when it was "nasty" and through the purge that followed. Now I'm here for AI art and bots filling my notifications.
