Sometimes best isn’t always possible

Hi this month is Facial pain awareness month. Which includes trigeminal neuralgia and anesthesia dolorosa.

Trigeminal neuralgia specifically has it's international awareness day on the 7th of October.

My goal is to make these conditions more known.

It's about the most painful pain to humans yet barely spoken about and almost no one knows it.

I would love it if people would talk about it, share about it..

The color for Trigeminal Neuralgia is Teal btw.

Dr. Fleischman, I need immediate medical attention. I'm thyrotoxic. I'm suffering from tinnitus, and not just a ringing in my ears, but a clanging, a pounding.

If I'm not ravenously hungry, I throw up at the sight of food. The pain starts in my joints. At first I thought incipient arthritis, and then I remembered that tick.

NORTHERN EXPOSURE 1.01 Pilot

[263adder]

If the Northern Exposure characters could swear

(Slight AU where everything else stayed the same, but the characters could curse with no restrictions.)

Maurice: Being a former Marine and former astronaut means he probably leads in sheer breadth and depth of cursing vocabulary. Pretty high in creativity at stringing them together if he wants, too. In everyday life, uses "goddamn" and/or "bullshit" every few episodes.

Fleischman: He grew up in NYC, of course the man can swear. Fluently and with great conviction. In both English and Yiddish. In Cicely, said swearing is mostly muttered to himself in solitude. He usually refrains from doing it where anyone else can hear, in an attempt to maintain some illusion of professionalism. The exception to this is...

Maggie: Grosse Pointe manners and that (kinda fragile) sense of personal dignity mean she doesn't swear. Well, hardly ever. Maybe if something's gone wrong with the goddamn plane. Or she has to deal with that shithead Fleischman again.

(Her cursing level rises in tandem with her blood alcohol content. This leads to at least one scene in the early seasons where she and Fleischman are having a loud, drunken, curse-filled argument on the Brick's front steps, in mid-winter, while bemused patrons push their way past to get in and out.)

Holling: He actually swears very little (unconscious rebellion against his filthy-mouthed abusive father?). On the rare occasions he does, it's always in Quebecois French.

Shelly: The only one who swears in canon, IIRC. (Well, sort of. If you consider calling things "bitchin" to be swearing. YMMV.) Uses occasional, cheerful "light" profanity on the "damn"/"hell" level.

Ruth-Anne: She was military-adjacent in the UK during WWII, so she has an impressive cursing range. Seldom uses it now, because once you reach your 70s after the life she's had, there's not a whole lot that can get you all that bent out of shape anymore.

Surprises everyone when Maurice goes stomping out after their argument about her buying the store from him, and she leans out the door to rain a glorious hail of profanity down on him where all of Main Street can hear.

Chris: His Appalachian upbringing, time spent in prison, and deep and extensive reading have made him capable of weaving a truly sparkling web of expletives. He hardly ever does it these days, because he prefers to at least try to be a bit more erudite about Expressing The Big Emotions.

(All bets are off when he's the drunk kind of depressed, though. And he definitely said "Oh, shit" when he ran over that dog.)

Ed: He learned to swear the same way he learned pretty much everything else: from movies. This means it comes out an interesting mix of straight-up echolalia and slightly off "they are not the hell your whales"-type usage. Doesn't actually ever curse that much because it's just not really his style.

(HOWEVER: just for the sheer incongruity of it, he's also the first one to drop the F-bomb onscreen.)

(His initial reaction to One-Who-Waits appearing to him is a quiet, reverent "...Holy fuck." One-Who-Waits isn't bothered by this, he's not that sort of spirit guide.)

Marilyn: She curses exactly once in the entire series run: at some point in S1, when Fleischman is being his most obnoxiously ranty S1 self.

Marilyn: *is knitting serenely at her desk*

Fleischman: *rants, raves, insults Cicely/its inhabitants, stomps out of office and down street*

Marilyn: *continues knitting quietly till Fleischman's out of sight*

Marilyn, softly: Asshole.

Honorable mention among recurring characters:

Barbara: She's a cop, she must be able to unleash some inventive profanity if she wants

Adam: As a professional chef, is absolutely capable of turning the air blue and making little old ladies faint at 100 yards without even trying, in at least two different languages

The cast of Murder By Death, an hilarious movie despite the unpleasant yellow face from Peter Sellars. Truman Capote, yo! And as in all Hirschfeld drawings, spot the Ninas! This one has three…
