“Gas anesthetics also don’t provide any pain control”

does this have anything to do with wind-up pain, and why peri-operative and pre-op meds are important? Also, if gas anesthesia doesn’t provide pain control, then what does it do?

vet-and-wild here.

Gas anesthesia keeps the animal in a plane of unconsciousness. It is something that we can adjust fairly quickly and in increments, which is useful during surgery. Pre-op and peri-op pain meds are what provide our pain control, and can also reduce how much of the gas we need to give. It doesn't really relate to wind-up pain, it's just not meant to be a form of pain control. It controls anesthetic depth, not pain.

What is jacka? And what is malfroy?

So it comes from an old post that was on here that had screenshots of a bad translation of someone’s VHS copy of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (I think it was that one)

Anyway Jacka Malfroy is what Draco Malfoy got translated to and it gave me a good chuckle. So I changed from whatever I was at the time and haven’t looked back!

(Also haven’t been on here in a couple of weeks so sorry about the late reply)

Pronoun pins

Press XY had these awesome pronoun pins at PAX. Although I wish pins weren’t necessary, it saves everyone from some awkwardness if someone doesn’t know what to call you.

Also, rule of thumb: When it doubt, ask what pronouns a trans* person prefers to use! My rule is: When I’m presenting as a guy, male pronouns are fine (he/him/his). When I’m presenting as a girl, female pronouns are most appropriate (she/her/hers).
