Pardon me. I’m just stashing a few things here for safekeeping.

something no one tells you about having a cardiac alert service animal and a sexual partner is sometimes, you will have to bargain with the cutest little helper on earth for the opportunity to finished what you started with your husband

A medical youtuber named Medlife Crisis, who has a video about Long Qt Syndrome, (type 2), a heart disease that can literally make you die of fright, ends the video with a LOUD, and sudden, phone ring. Earlier on in the video, he straight up used someone getting a call from their mom and dying from it as an example. Additionally, he says that about 1 in 7000 people have Long Qt Syndrome.

That video currently has 68k views. While there does appear to be treatment for it, the fact that he would even do that in the first place could still mean that someone with it would’ve died FROM A VIDEO ABOUT IT.

Hell, someone with it could’ve looked up videos about their own condition, found this, and died because of it.

This is made even worse by the fact that, while I don’t know much in depth about the disease, is something that some people might dismiss as extreme anxiety. Even if I am wrong on that, it’s still something that legitimately might’ve caused a few deaths.

And in the comments, his only response, as far as I can tell, to people talking about how that could’ve actually killed someone, is this:

I don’t want to say that jump scares in general should be banned or anything, but when it’s on a video about how something like that could kill someone is when I think completely crosses the line. Note: While this is important, YOU ARE NOT A BAD PERSON IF YOU DON’T REBLOG IT. I want to make that very clear.

I have a genetic heart condition called LQTS (Long QT Syndrome). It’s really rare, and can be deadly. I’ve got an arrhythmia. My heart doesn’t beat right. I’m a teenager in the cardiology unit with all the oldies but Goldie’s who’ve had heart attacks. I feel like my youth is gone. I pass out sometimes. I can’t do what my peers do, it’s too much strain. The periodic-paralysis is getting awful. I can’t move sometimes. Can I call myself chronically ill/a spoonie?I don’t want to impose (7❤️ Anon)

You absolutely can. Welcome to the club. We don’t have much, but we’ve got each other.

[moss--bug]

Not gonna lie it's pretty discouraging that my heart, the thing keeping me alive, doesn't even beat right.

Representation!!! A mention of #lqts #longqtsyndrome in #harrow Non Sum Qualis Eram Harrow: Season 1, Episode 5 almost missed it, rewound to check fer sure… Time dated: they mention 15 types and at present the count is 16 types. Our family flavour is Type 1 (my dad had it, all 4 of my boys and I do). Reminder that drugs and LQTS do NOT play well together! Nice to know what they were talking about medically for a change, lol. #longqtsyndromeawareness #thisisme #imamutant https://www.instagram.com/p/CjB7IwsOdyA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
