I did not have annoying medical inaccuracy on my bingo card for this week's episode of My Stand-In, then again I don't know what I've expected. Inaccuracy is like the Spanish Inquisition. Bane of my existence, the thorn under my nail.
Joe's mom gets hospitalised due shortness of breath. The doctors diagnose pulmonary oedema, caused by end stage renal disease / kidney failure. So far we're good, and I appreciate chosing something outside the usual cancer/heart disease pool.
But then the doctor tells Joe, that his mother has septicaemia and requires lifelong hospital treatment to stay alive.
First of all, what an ESRD patient has is called uraemia not septicaemia. Those are very different things. Idk if the mistake is on the scriptwriter's part or on the translator's, and I'd be grateful if someone who spoke Thai could tell me!
Second of all, dialysis is usually done by outpatient treatment! Although Joe's mom would have to visit a dialysis station every three days for the rest of her life, she would be able to live her life outside of the hospital! And that is without considering alternative treatments like peritoneal dialysis or a kidney transplant.
The two options for my second points are either the Doylist bad writing (bleh) or the Watsonian the doctor is trying to scam Joe. Which is ridiculous, but in this series, a crazy sublot like this might fly...
we truly regressed when people started buying into the genderbending is inherently transphobic thing. yeah that twelve year old being inquisitive and having fun on deviantart was your enemy all along.
I'd like to start over with you again, Ming. And if I lose again this time, I don't know what to say anymore. Joe, let's star all over again. And this time, I'm holding the right person.
overall i really liked the first episode of delico's nursery but. but. as someone who knows nothing. about the theatre plays. i couldnt quite take the plot seriously when. the god of vampires/first vampire ever. has the most unfortunate abriviation of our time.
expecting max verstappen to yield in a fight AND apologize is the funniest thing to come out of the austrian GP
this man didnt even yield for his teammate to help him in the wdc standing after max had already won the title, what makes you think he would do that to a random opponent
plus there is literally like 1 (one) driver on this grid that max verstappen has approached and Actually apologized to for an on track incident, and that is charles leclerc in vegas
also max does not choose to drive differently with some people, he gives what he is given,, fight him cleanly, he will return that (as we saw in the sprint), divebomb him multiple times and he will return that tenfold (as we literally saw in the race)
max is the one driver you should not act like a dickhead on track with, cuz he will Always end up out dickheading you, and you will always be the loser in the situation
I was looking for my friend in a dormitory exclusively for transmasc people. He is, in fact, amab, so I don’t know why I thought he’d be there. I eventually found him in the back-row seats of a theater where he was watching a stand-up comedian do a routine about My Little Pony.
Went to ECCC yesterday and I made this Cullen sibling gang gang print just for the occasion 😅 Got Alice (Ashley Greene) and Jasper (Jackson Rathbone) to sign it!
