Well, I had to shave my beard because as stretched as we are for n95 masks in the hospital, we are also limited on PAPRs and CAPRs. So now I look like a baby. And my face is cold. It hasnt hit my area super hard yet, in fact we just had our county's first death this week. But I am concerned not necessarily of getting it, but of spreading it. I am certain I have either already come into contact with it, or will in the next few days/week. I am getting emails (like 20) from all the hospitals in town with policy changes. But each of the hospitals have different policies and none of them make sense. One of them I have to get my temperature checked each time I walk in. Another has nothing. The third I work in has a giant pile-up of people asking you the symptom questions, so like 15-20 people are standing incredibly close together which defeats the whole fucking purpose.

Practically everyone I know is texting me somewhat constantly to ask my opinion. The amount of misinformation (in the US) is astounding. Like why in the fuck is there suddenly a toilet paper shortage?

 

Swar, how is it in Brazil, (youre in brazil right?) I imagine there isn't lots of testing going on, but do you feel it is running rampant? We are just about to start the typical flu season for you guys, right? And where are you in your medical training now? 

Padme, hows quarantine going? Are you done? Now just practically quarantined anyway with shelter in place, right? You stay healthy? Have toilet paper?

Adults who are obsessed with Disney and Disneyland freak me the fuck out

I agree with cara, rocket, Joe and the rest of you lot taking the stance here. I think that the person most culpable is the person who is in a relationship and cheats. However, a person who knowingly sleeps with (or even makes out with, blows, feels up, this isn't just limited to sex imo) a married or otherwise committed person is guilty. Sexuality has nothing to do with this conversation.

In the case of @Trapezeo I don't care if that guy is a closeted gay male stuck in a heterosexual relationship, it is reallyshitty to cheat on your spouse. The decent thing to do as that man is to tell his spouse, and she would either be okay with him experimenting or not, and then they could decide to continue a mono relationship or break up.

What is the accessory to cheating called? The cheatee? Let's go with it. Those of you thinking the cheated is absolved from consequence, how would you feel if you were in a long time, committed relationship, and your best friend decides to sleep with your SO? That would be a dick move by your best friend, right? So why would it not be a dick move of a stranger who knows you are in a committed relationship? Help me see how you justify this to yourself.


None of this matters if the spouse knows about and is okay with it, but that isn't considered cheating, it is swinging.



To my knowledge, this has all been about sexual cheating, and we haven't delved into emotional cheating. But in abusive relationships, I don't think cheating is ok still, I do however absolve the abused from emotional cheating, and almost encourage it, if it helps them take steps to getting out of the abusive relationship. But that is a tougher topic I would have to think about more.

I finished my first 80 week of residency, and not only did none of my patients die, but I did some pretty cool stuff! Day one I felt like a Med student, but I am already feeling like a doctor now

If you didn't have the whole Finn and Rose arc, then maybe, but as it is, no, not for me.
TFA would have been fine if they had come up with something better than yet another deathstar.
I enjoy all the films, just some more than others.

Ok, I feel exactly the same way. That arc was just really lame. The Poe holdo one was... meh. The leía flying through space I disliked. But I really really really liked the Luke arc. He stayed true to his character but it also brought a lot of new stuff in. Which I thought was where TFA failed. It was just Star Wars with newer graphics.

Have rep

ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE PEOPLE KILL YOU? ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME ANGRY??

This.

This.

God awful forced reylo shipping. Just because every movie "Must have romance". Bleh.

I agree with your thoughts have some rep

The older movies are great. I personally prefer the animated series above all else with star wars. But I dunno the new movies are meh, and the newest one was so god awfully terrible I couldn't even watch the whole thing.

I am a major star wars fanatic. This isn't a good sign.

The older movies suffered from a but of awkward dialogue/acting. They were revolutionary, absolutely. I'm kind of a empire strikes back fan, and think that's the best franchise film. And while probably episode 2 was worse than TFA, at least it was something different where TFA seemed waaaayyyyyyyyyy too predictable and the same.

And I watched the clone wars cuz it was on Netflix and I was bored my 4th year of Med school. The first few episodes were cheesy af but I ended up liking it a lot, and like Star Wars as a whole much more now.

Have some candy




Lots of strong feelings but few people are engaging in debate, you fart wranglers. Don't tell me TLJ sucked, tell me why it sucked. Tell me why TfA can even be considered a decent movie. Otherwise I assume you are all this way Bc it is cool to hate on rian Johnson's interpretation of it. I SAID CHANGE MY MIND SHIT MONGERS!

Well, you can officially call me Kaddict, MD today!

Yay bring on the new privates!!!

ok... unzips

my dumb BP is always higher in those dumb pharmacy machines

Your time to shine, @Kaddict.

 

But really, those numbers don't mean much other than for people with cardiovascular issues.

Pulse pressure is the difference between systolic and diastolic pressures, essentially the difference between when your heart is full of blood, and when it is contracted.

MAP is 1/3 of your systolic plus 2/3 of your diastolic pressure, or your diastolic plus 1/3 of your pulse pressure. (sometimes people prefer to focus on this number, especially in ICU settings, because this gives a somewhat easy description of the average perfusion of blood to your body, as sometimes people with really high pulse pressures have separate issues)

Heart rate is how fast the thing in your chest pumps

 

Also, the new guidelines that they are basing that off of (120/80 being high normal) is total garbage. Honestly, I would much rather be at 130/80 than I would be at 90/60. Too much lower than 90/60 and you are at risk of passing out at a moments notice. Your BP is just perfect.

Eh, I’ll post my drink now since it was delicious and it is a delicacy for me (can’t have caffeine since my crappy heart is unreliable)

Thank you.

I want to be clear, to everyone, the reason I'm not okay with Keil's comment is because no matter what I do, how I decide to be flexible in this, there will always be at least one person who doesn't like my decision. I cannot please everyone. That's just... the way it fucking is. I thought about allowing the buckets all day and decided it was a weird grey area and I made an exception not based on social pressure, or the desire to please, but to keep as many folks as possible interested in a competition that is going to last over 15 days. At some point, some of you guys will get tired, or busy, and I'd rather didn't happen sooner. The first three rounds were meant to be warm-ups for what's to come (round four is going to be a bitch, y'all). 

I just happened to be especially frustrated and angry with Keil because he's made an effort to be a jerk to me over the last 2 years. There's only so much someone can take before they are done. I'm not sorry I stuck up for myself. I hope everyone has some clarity about my decision making process in allowing the buckets and will understand why I made the decision I did. I will not always be so flexible with future rounds, so keep that in mind guys. I really appreciate everyone who is participating and putting forth genuine effort. I love all these photos and it's a really fun way to get to know some of you. 

 

And you never should be! This line is the most important part of all. Never, ever, ever feel bad about sticking up for yourself

Man, that’s a lot of shit to hold with one hand. In hindsight I realized I didn’t need the bucket, just other people using a bucket confused me. I am a simple man. I even had a scoop of dirt in the shovel, most of which ended up on me as I was taking the picture. There was definitely no way I could get the toothbrush in my mouth
