#Cushing

[nixmori]

Ever since Emmrich’s writer named Peter Cushing as his primary influence, I haven’t been able to get this image of them together with this quote out of my head.

The quote is from Hound of the Baskervilles ‘59, which starred Cushing in the role of Sherlock Holmes. But I chose to draw Cushing in his outfit from the Horror of Dracula where he played Van Helsing.

I absolutely adore Peter Cushing and I have so many thoughts on the implications of his influence on Emmrich.

Cushing was, himself, a gentle man and a gentleman of big emotions. His wife was the love of his life, and in his autobiography, he stated that his life as he loved it ended with her passing. He didn’t believe in ending one’s life intentionally, and lived out his remaining decades waiting to see her again in the afterlife.

He also had a deep-seated fear of death, instilled in him by his mother, who would feign her own death when he’d been naughty as a child.

His friendships were also deep and lasting, with Christopher Lee (Dracula in he Hammer films, Saruman) saying upon his passing “At some point of your lives, every one of you will notice that you have in your life one person, one friend whom you love and care for very much. That person is so close to you that you are able to share some things only with him. For example, you can call that friend, and from the very first maniacal laugh or some other joke you will know who is at the other end of that line. We used to do that with him so often. And then when that person is gone, there will be nothing like that in your life ever again”

I think of these things and how they influence the lens through which I see Emmrich. His desire for that “one true love,” as Cushing had with Helen. How deeply he cares for his friends. How kind and compassionate he is.

I have many more thoughts and could likely write essays on this. But I shall restrain myself.

Also… the font is in Baskerville because I couldn’t help myself.

it’s the size of a blueberry roughly and pushing into my optic nerve so that’s like cool as hell

i’ve named her tina tumour, and i absolutely plan on glorifying, romanticising, and laughing about my tumour.

if i don’t, i may break down and have consecutive panic attacks till i pass out

From Yale PA online white coat ceremony key note speaker:

“

She told a few stories about Dr. Harvey Cushing, to demonstrate that “Humanism in medicine is not always easy, and not always apparent, especially when it comes to truth and beauty in human relationships.” She shared that the night Cushing’s son died in a car accident, he called his wife to tell her, then performed a successful brain surgery, and then left to identify his son’s body.

“The heartbreaking story of Dr. Cushing’s cool proficiency in the center of utter devastation represents, for me, the complexity of humanism in the medical field,” she said. “His story shows that medical professionals can be hard on colleagues, families, and themselves while advocating for compassionate patient care.” When focused on work, Elliott said, “we can lose sight of what we love, whom we love, and who we are. It's all too easy to detach from ourselves and the bigger picture.”

Maladie de Cushing : Comment elle affecte la vie du Whippet

Introduction Bonjour à tous ! Encore une fois, c’est parce que j’ai vu passer beaucoup de posts sur les réseaux à ce sujet que je me suis dit que cela vaudrait la peine d’aborder le sujet. Car oui, la maladie de Cushing, une affection souvent discrète mais sérieuse, peut influencer considérablement la vie de nos amis les Whippets.

If you’re finding yourself struggling to remember everything you need to know about the adrenal glands and adrenal disorders, then this episode is for you!

As you know, the adrenal glands control a lot of what goes on in our bodies, from responding to stress, to regulating our blood pressure and controlling our metabolism. 

And when the adrenal glands start malfunctioning, they affect everything. That can happen either because of Cushing’s syndrome or Addison’s disease.

This is exactly what I discuss in this week’s episode of NCLEX Ready, so if you need a deep dive into these two disorders, this is the episode for you.

I’ll be breaking down everything –and I mean everything you need to know about these disorders so you can pass the NCLEX with flying colors.

Plus, I’ll also be answering a few NCLEX questions about the adrenal glands at the end of the episode, so make sure to listen till the last minute!

Are you ready to learn more?

Tune in now!

WOOF

I haven't written anything in a few days, mostly because things are getting entirely worse over the past few days and I have spent a lot of time in and out of the emergency room and rapidly deteriorating due to my superfun illness. However, some good news on this front. Under the cut to keep it from cluttering up the feed.

Had an appointment with an Endocrinologist today (who RULES, by the way) and she gave me what was, in my eyes, my first official Cushing Disease diagnosis. Interestingly enough, the thing that was tell-tale for her were the stretch marks on my stomach. She asked me to pick up my shirt to see the stretch marks I confirmed that I had and no sooner than the shirt started coming up she said "Yeah, you have Cushing." Interestingly, the color and width of the stretch marks is specifically indicative of Cushing rather than "normal" stretch marks. Mine are purple-ish and very wide, the ones that pregnant women or people with larger stomachs may get are not. I had just attributed the marks to me being just a regular fat guy, but apparently not. Dunno, I found that interesting.

The doctor had a lot of good things to say, asked a lot of good questions of me, and gave a very solid path forward as far as next steps in this whole process. I have my MRI to scan my noggin for the pituitary tumor on 10/30 and then, according to the Endo, if there is a tumor there, I will meet with a Neurosurgeon in the next few weeks. From there, it's schedule the surgery, get it done, and then recover. Hopefully that means the surgery could be before end-of-year, maybe even before Crimmus. It'll most likely be the surgery where they go in through my nose, nab the thing, and get out. There is a chance, depending on what is found in the MRI, that they may have to actually cut into my head, so we're hoping for NOT that. If there is no pituitary tumor present, I'll have to get a scan of my chest to check for a lung tumor, so we're hoping for NOT THAT. Either way, with these docs at the tiller, I'm excited, hopeful, and confident in a way I haven't been for a bit. I'm very lucky to have not only access to these doctors and this care bu also for lucking into a good team that continues to actually get work done for me and get me the care I need. I really wish everyone had access to this kind of stuff.

We're getting back into it and this is the first day back. I guess the streak resets? I don't know how to handle that and I'm thinking I also don't give a shit. I'm doing this for me anyway and when you have a streak of pretty bad days, this is just gonna happen. But we're back on the horse and ready to rumble.

"Who Give a Shit" days to go.
