The medicine/science stuff wasn't as bad as Fringe, but WTF is with these depictions of placing your own IV? The angle is wrong, even with the plumpest of veins.
#doctor odyssey#pilot#this episode also included terrible CPR#doing a cric without actually trying to handbag the dude#or intubating from above#the ARDS stuff was accurate!#yay for low tidal volumes and high PEEP#but why did he leave the room before intubating the guy??#and lastly#a nurse practitioner does not have as much training as an MD#there are lots of reasons why NPs are beneficial to medicine#but they are not doctors#anyway#one day i'm going to be the medical consult for these shows#and make them do it accurately

CW: Suicide, graphic description of hospitalization
I know this shouldn't have to be said and you'd think people would know better in this day and age and this fucking community but apparently fucking not.
If you encourage, support, or engage in suicide baiting, even as small as "kys", block me or respond so I can block you. Suicide is not a fucking joke, it's not a punchline, it's not a "gotcha" or a catchy comeback it causes real actual fucking harm.
Do you know what it feels like to have a tube put down your throat? It's been 7 fucking years and I still viscerally remember being told to hold my breath and the awful pressure of the tube. I remember looking over and seeing my heartrate at 300, both my parents crying. The nurses reassuring me that it was gonna be okay.
You know what else I remember? The name and face of a kid who once told me to kill myself, I doubt he remembers, we were only 14, but I do.
Also, for obvious reasons, I don't support any threats of violence, especially over fucking internet discourse.
#suicide#hospitalization#discourse#transmasc#transandrophobia#transmisandry#(adding those tags bc i know anti-transmasc folks engage in this and this is about them)#also joking threats against ur friends is fine conversations between friends are v different from strangers#i also doubt this will do anything people who engage like this are young and dont actually care about others to them “discourse” is just#- a fun game and it can be! debating can be fun! until youre telling someone to end their life.#i think the intubation was the most traumatizing thing ive ever been through theres a reason its usually done under anaesthesia

"yes im so fine"
*researches whether i can get my hands on ipecac*
#tw ed#obligatory MASSIVE do not do this#straight up poison that can kill you from one (1) time#used to be used to induce vomiting#directly the cause of death of karen carpenter and countless others#i wont i swear i wont#but i still researched it bc i was curious#tbh there are easier ways of poisoing oneself than semi illegal drugs#also if yall remember the post about a poison i own: i did more reseach and while that amount would probably kill me w no medical#intervention; it would take just under three times as much to be absolutely certain of hitting the toxic dose (calculated quantity per kg#of the top end of a given range. so it could kill me but if i was gonna go out that way id want about three times as much to be sure.)#honestly surprised ive never heard of any deaths from it. the most likely way to survive would be to throw it up i think#(or present to hospital and take charcoal or smth)#honestly though. my research says loss of consciousness and required intubation within half an hour in case studies#hence if you werent in reach of medical attention youd probably collapse an die#and i am very deliberately NOT mentioning what it is bc of how toxic it is#ive thought of combining it and another method to be absolutely sure but eh#honestly if it DIDNT work it sounds straight up embarrassing to admit to people tho thats one of the things stopping me#but literally a dose in a child requiring intubation and kid ended up in a coma recovered w no ill effects.#thats the dream yk. try and succeed and youre free; try and fail and you see no ill effects.#but yeah i wouldnt try w only the amount i have.#so im safe#....rereading the above. okay i might be a little mentally ill lol#but i am safe and absolutely nobody call the cops on me.#im fine.#tw suicide#puddleglum hours#nobody worry abt me ok. im fine.#just thinking silly lil thoughts like usual :)#EDIT: just occurred to me that using this poison could make it not look like a suicide

ER on in the break room, we are ROASTING it.
#the patient is getting a LapChole and#she is NOT intubated#there is NO oxygen source connected to her#no WONDER she woke up!!!!#I’m sorry but no doctor would do a laparoscopic procedure without intubation because then you can’t paralyze them!!!

Decided today that I’m not too old to go to med school and fuck it yeah I’m gonna have like $400k in debt but I’m gonna be an MD because that’s what I’ve always really wanted to be
#I love being an RN but it feels like I’m only able to do like 50% of what I actually wanna do#I want to place lines and suture and intubate and as a bedside rn those are all inaccessible to me

people in the tags of that post once again like "what do you mean i can't drive my car into oncoming traffic? look i've made a PERSONAL CHOICE to drive in whatever lane i like and i'm not forcing YOU to do it :) don't be a cop respect my decision"
#genuinely THIS IS WHY I DO NOT LIKE STONERS I STG#(people with regular cigarettes are usually like this too these days actually but stoners are worse about it)#did you do it? did you fight the man by sending me into respiratory arrest again?#is it selling out of you to pay my medical bills after i said 'hey you know that's going to make me sick' and you blow smoke in my face?#are you helping to legalise it by telling me i don't have a personality while i have to be intubated for the third time in as many months?#cunt.#smoking weed might not be a personality trait but not giving a shit about other people if it inconveniences you sure is!#i'll end friendships over this i don't give a damn. they still owe me hundreds in icu stays so fuck 'em#also tbh you shouldn't be friends with someone that says 'ugh you're so boring because you won't smoke/drink with me' anyway

I had some really good pizza last night and now I want pizza again. There is no pizza. There won't be any pizza.
#i live in the middle of nowhere#i do not have readily available take out#hence my excitement#also i had surgery last week and had to be intubated and was all fukked up for a few days#so yesterday was the first day i felt half way decent#probably a factor in the overall experience#but please someone send me pizza 🍕 😔

#last night at work i had a really sick baby intubated with 2 chest tubes#and he started decompensating bad so i had to trouble shoot all sorts of equipment and the baby himself#and i figured out that one of his chest tubes was obstructed#based on the vent readings and the the chest tube drainage system#and got the np to fix it and he immediately improved#and it was one of those great shifts where you get to leave a baby doing objectively so much better than you found them#and i felt so goddamn smart!#like i was right!#my assessment was correct and allowed us to fix things quickly!#i have awful imposter syndrome but i really walked out feeling smart and good at my job and full of critical thinking skills!#which is great bc theyre giving me an orientee soon which is just buckwild to me#but yeah i think i did a really good job last night#just bc the dickhead asshole douchbag resident talks to me like i got my degree in a cracker jack box doesnt mean i dont know things#i know some stuff

Death and medically triggering stuff in tags I don’t have the brain power for specifications
#she looks dead we got here and she’s still alive like her body is still here but her eyes are bulging and bloodshot and her mouth is black#from where the intubation tube has been and basically the only thing keeping her body pumping is a ton of Machines#and I care about her so much but it also makes me want to vomit with how terrifying it looks and that makes me feel bad#like I should just be grateful to be here but it doesn’t feel like she’s here it feels like I’m talking to a body#and they’re like it’s possible she hears you I would keep talking to her telling her nice things and I am and I will continue to do so#but they think her body will be gone too by the end of the day or sooner and she looks terrifying and I feel like I’m going to vomit#I just need to tell someone and I’m not telling my family how I feel because I’m there to be their support system I think it’ll be easier#now that I’ve got it out of my head#I’m scared#I don’t even know what specifically I’m scared of I just am

me discovering thru talking with other people who have been intubated for longer stretches of time (like a day+) that it’s very common that after spending that time you get really depressed and/or get a bit of a psychotic break with really delusional symptoms and actually in doing a bit of research finding out it’s very common and well documented but ppl still don’t know precisely why it happens and definitely do not discuss it with you before or after your hospital stay
#like i’m just finding out about this and it’s like. a public health problem#mind you. in addition to being a wannabe med student (so i do read a lot abt medicine) and also crazy so i’ve been to hospitals and#met many people who’ve been intubated#i have NEVER heard of this

I’m just gonna do a wee ramble in the tags. You can ignore me if you want.
#katie is rambling 2k22#so mom is back in the ICU and intubated again#she has some internal bleeding that became very apparent and dangerous#while my brother and I were in the hospital#we left for their quiet time and grabbed something to eat#and came back to mayhem as they were trying to move her#while there was more than a little blood on the bed because the GI docs needed to see#they found one source of bleeding but there’s another one they haven’t sorted yet#but seeing her so freaked out about having to be intubated again was rough#and everyone kept apologizing to us#and I know they were just doing their job and trying to be thoughtful#but it was not helping#also I’m breaking out like really really bad and it’s pissing me off#which is like small fries#but the stress is making me so much more prone to picking#that I am going to turn my entire chin into an open wound#anyway life sucks but I’m chugging along I guess

I don’t have polls but I need help with general opinion, if you were experimenting on a vampire and needed a convenient way to give them blood, what would you pick
Gastrointestinal intubation/feeding tube, for science reasons
Gastrointestinal intubation/feeding tube, for horny reasons
Iv/direct to bloodstream, for science reasons
Iv/direct to bloodstream, for horny reasons
#writing#fanfic#vampire#poll#but not really#if you can guess who and what this is about then I love you but don’t speak to me#or do#anyway#I have one I’m leaning towards#please note that intubation does inhibit speech by virtue of going through the vocal chords
