How it feels when EMS calls ahead for a mass-casualty event and it’s just… a group of guys Batman beat up:

Could he not be more gentle with them? A broken femur seems unnecessary.

Wouldn’t that be an absolute dream, my love?

PoTS - a common autonomic nervous system disorder characterized by an excessively fast heart rate and symptoms of lightheadedness upon standing. Other symptoms include fainting, and rapid heartbeat, which are relieved by lying down again. Adding extra salt to the diet, increasing fluids, and taking medications can help the disorder.

something needs to fundamentally change about the way medical schools select their cohorts im so serious too many doctors could not give a single shit less about their patients and practice

Dear sweet Harvey,

You must be an anaesthesiologist because you sure know how to knock out my senses.

I could use a pick-me-up.

My Dad and I like to talk about a lot of stuff. One of the things he's been fascinated by is media transmutability and using existing media to make new things. One example he mentioned is "This Spartan Life", a talk show done in the first person shooter Halo 2. This reminded me of the many many animations that many many creators have made over the years out of a game I've liked for a while and unfortunately have only recently been able to start playing; Team Fortress 2. One film in particular stuck out in my mind. I brought it up, we discussed it and after a while he agreed to watch it with me. That was a week or so ago.

🪚🩺🩸

Last night I watched Emesis Blue with my Dad. He was a bit surprised at how little dialogue there was but overall we both really liked it. The stylized design of the nine mercs and the other models works in this film's favor, giving the film a sense of identity that a more conventional live action film wouldn't have. It reminded my dad of the comic Sin City. It is a story with quite a lot of violence, which I think is to be expected considering what it's based on, but even then, it's not gratuitous, not much you wouldn't see in the game proper. It's in support of the plot, and even if there's not as much dialogue as other films, the visual storytelling makes up for it. Also the references to other horror works such as the shining are a nice touch.

One element I like in particular is the fact that the film misleads us so well. At first it seems to be a standard noir outing, especially regarding the storyline of Jacques and Columbo. There's a short fight and a mcguffin in a briefcase is introduced. But once we reach Conagher Slaughterhouse, there's an uncanny eerieness that quickly comes over the audience and never really leaves. We have no way of knowing how much of what we see is real or not, and neither do the characters involved, and nowhere is this doubt in reality shown more prevalently and brilliantly than in Dr. Fritz Ludwig.

Of all the stories told about the tf2 Medic I think this is the greatest I've ever seen. In game, Medic is famous, or infamous, depending on perspective, for being not quite all there in the sanity department. The kind of person who will brag about stealing someone's skeleton. The kind of person who can and has performed soul-transplantation multiple times. The kind of person who will casually mention implanting someone with a fully functioning baboon uterus pregnant with triplets, only a slight exaggeration. He's crazy, he knows it and we love him for it. In Emesis Blue however, this component of the Medic's character, the concept of being mentally unwell, is shown with care and nuance. He is never referred to by his class, but instead has the full name, Dr. Fritz Ludwig. This well-meaning but unstable man is put on a downward track from the moment we first see him, by forces he can neither understand nor control. He blames himself for Jeremy's kidnapping and later death, and wants to find a way to save or at least avenge him or redeem himself. But once he does so and the brothers are dead, his hope is only to survive. Every time he must fight for his life it deeply affects him as he is faced with unbelievable hallucinations. Is it some twisted effect the malfunctioning respawn machine is having on the world around it, or is it his own sanity slowly abandoning him. We see other characters hallucinating, but him? He has no idea. Fritz is constantly fighting a losing war with his own troubled mind, and the situation he's stuck in and trying so hard to get out of is only making it worse, as he gets closer and closer to what the enigmatic undertaker in black has already become. An unstoppable undying force of violence. Not even the others are safe from this, as Jeremy, Stalingrad, Mundy and Jacques clearly show.

Oddly enough however, the film ends on a somewhat bittersweet, if not uplifting note. The two timing schemer Archibald is dead, so is that asshole Jacques, and with no one else to run the company and its involvement in the gravel war coming to light, it's clear that it's going to crash and burn. Good riddance. Mr. Doe survives and makes it out of the funeral alive, secure in the knowledge that many, if not all crimes against him and the other mercs will finally come to light. Fritz is the last one holding the briefcase and even gets to finally reconcile with Jeremy at Dell's bar in the afterlife, even if he respawns one last time soon after. But by far the greatest thing about this film, and the thing that made up for the minimal dialogue for my dad, is the atmosphere.

The atmosphere is nothing short of mesmerizing, there's very little music, only just enough to supplement the tone in a few scenes. All other times the ambient sounds of the environment are all the scene needs to establish how creepy, surreal or hopeless the tone of a scene is. The nigh-omnipresent contrast of red and blue throughout this film, directly calling back to the opposing teams and their perpetual pointless war, is employed to masterful effect, whether to indicate a turning point in a scene, or to illustrate how conflicted a character is. It's simple, maybe even a bit obvious, but it's great nonetheless.

More than anything, watching this film feels like descending into madness in a way that I personally haven't seen an animated film do before now. The feeling that you have while watching Emesis Blue is like swallowing a hungry parasite, and I mean that in the best possible way. It comes upon you slowly but surely, you almost don't perceive it, and by the time you do, it's already got its fangs into you. It nestles deep inside your brain and squirms there long after the credits have run, so that hours later, awake in your bed, you're still thinking about it. Visceral. Terrifying. Beautiful.

Emesis Blue is a modern work of art. My dad thought it was a bit lacking in the script department, but I loved it. If you like your horror with existentialism, surrealism and lots of guns, then I recommend you check it out. It's available on YouTube and I only hope that Fortress Films projects will continue to entertain us in the future. Until next time, how long have I been waiting to do this one?

Watching videos of actual doctors reacting to house md is so funny because they're always like 'real doctors don't break into people's houses' and 'why aren't they doing tests to confirm' and 'why don't they just stop house from committing malpractice' Like, bestie, this is the malpractice hospital, it's what they do <3

Hi there! ໒꒰ྀི• ˕ <｡꒱ྀི১ I’m Callie!

I’m about 17 and working as a resident at Gotham General Hospital. I like music and theater and I’ve been performing at Gotham Community Theater since I was a kid. Ballet is my favorite form of dance and I’m hoping to be a pediatric surgeon like my Mom. I’m kinda new to this site and social media in general but I think it’s pretty neat! Oh! Yeah! And I really like bunnies.

Mun here, few more little facts about Cal

Full name is Calliope Ann Darling (Yes Darling is after Wendy Darling, she’s very whimsical)

Blog and OC aesthetic are Pastel Goth

Callie is technically above the age of consent in most places but Mun is a minor so suggestive stuff and flirting is fine but nothing explicit.

Oc x Oc stuff is fine too, she’s mostly here to act as a third party “medic” character so she’s unaligned with villains or hero’s.

She is committed to the Hippocratic Oath, religiously so. “Do No Harm” means more to her than just physical harm, so while she can be mean you’d be hard pressed to get her there.

I will be accepting Anon’s based on emoji’s (that’s how Callie got her start after all). Please clarify if you’re the same as another blog tho so it’s easier to cross check.

I need to recreate that scene from liverleaf with my partner

Wouldn’t it be so romantic ? I’d die happily if the person who took my own life was my partner.

Say it with me..

guess who might have tonsillitis again. It’s too hot right now for this shit :(

I literally did work today on autopilot and I was rewiring electrics thankfully they weren’t live but still I’ve never coughed so much in my life and I’m just feeling like I’m swallowing sandpaper 🫶🏻🥲

Gotta love that when I’m at work I can’t even call the doctors because I didn’t register as a temp patient so I have to call 111 if anything - I have twice before for the same thing and just having to explain why I can use medical stuff on base is just a whole different level.

im still thinking about this one guy in my medical anthropology elective idk why his comment pissed me off so much but i haven't been able to get it off my mind.

we were having a general discussion about the intersection between healthcare and politics, who gets to be sick, who gets to be treated and who will never be either and this guy said something like "disease affects people regardless of their socioeconomic status. covid didn't exclude the rich for example" ... how can u be this fucking obtuse as a young adult i don't get it
