>> day 11/100 days of productivity

this day's productivity was more on completing my team's research:

acknowledgements

technical revisions

progress report submitted to the university ethics committee

surprisingly, just these 3 resulted into taking up my whole afternoon 😅 but it was very nice to complete our thesis. we only need to publish it and display it in our faculty and library, haha

also here we have bobby, habitually laying down on the books i read.

Hi, i wanted to ask something I had been curious about:

Why is it that in movies, when someone is wearing an oxygen mask, they either don’t speak, are discouraged to do so or have it taken off if they want to say something?

On a tangential note, when it comes to that other kind of masks used in non invasive ventilation, like bipap, can one speak with it on?

You can absolutely speak in an oxygen mask. Unfortunately, even in person people can have a hard time understanding what is being said through an oxygen mask. It's also hard to see the person's lips moving, so I assume it would be difficult to mic/film well.

Without knowing a lot about the sound technology of movie making, I assume this is just a choice so they don't have to dub over what is being said. It can also just add a little flair to the scene- he wants to talk so bad he's giving up his life-saving oxygen!

With CPAP/BiPAP type masks, it's kind of the same. People can definitely talk in them, it's just really hard to understand. This is because the masks are blocking some of the sounds, the machines are designed to force air into the person's lungs (so talking is harder than it would otherwise be) and the machines are noisy.

crippled complaint number 8,793: how fucking dare y'all get covid and not mask and not respect the people who say it could hurt them. I keep being fought on how I want to get out of our place for a bit because our roommate is covid positive and is not masking or being even remotely considerate of me or my immunocompromisation and I just can't even begin to deal with how unreasonable these assholes are!! "oh nobody in our family had a bad covid reaction you'll be fine" I GOT BORDERLINE PNEUMONIA FROM A RESPIRATORY INFECTION! GUESS WHAT COVID FUCKING ATTACKS!!!! ugh my dad literally told me the worst thing for me was going to be my anxiety. like?? really???? worse than my inconsiderate COVID positive roommate?????? I am gonna have a fucking joker arc I can't TAKE it anymore

— life lately

let go of my long hair and dyed my hair again bc its high time for a change (kidding) and i have a pictorial for a department event soon, so, yk

my camera roll's filled with ventilators from high flow machines to baby vents to hamiltons bc it became a habit for me not to only write the changes in vent settings anymore but also take a photo of the current settings the time i did rounds (8am rounds, 12nn rounds)

there's so much i've learned these 5 months in my first clinical rotation and i can't wait to share more about it soon 🤗

They are members of a popular new band and have many fans, but there are those who don't like their presence. One day, while they were practicing, a man threw a poisonous smoke bomb, causing them to be poisoned, thankfully the manager found out about it and immediately took them to the hospital.

Their condition was quite worrying because they experienced shortness of breath which was severe enough to make them use oxygen masks, except one, because he was in the kitchen getting a drink.

They are: Xion, Zergan, Kio and Bem

Today I went in to do a cannula to find a patient only rousable to a VERY firm sternal rub (and immediately drowsy again), doesn't flinch when I take a blood gas, had been fine and eating lunch an hour previously.

No clear sign of why she had low GCS (normal gas, normal blood glucose, no falls etc)

Call consultant who comes and sees her 15 minutes later and she is awake and chatting away quite happily

I picked up that terrible respiratory infection making the rounds and my blood oxygen dipped to around 90% so I got treatment and it's viral so no antibiotics but they gave me these magic benzonatate pills and I love them. Blood oxygen back to normal! So fucking grateful for medication. And good healthcare. I thought I was going to suffocate on my own mucus at one point - literally choking on it. And it's not even Covid!

Stay safe everyone! This is a bad one. Worth masking and frequent handwashing if you're traveling.

A video explaing how respirators work. The science behind these masks is amazing. They will protect you from COVID and other respiratory diseases.
