  • Just bought a couple of their 4oz coffees, thanks for the suggestion. The Gera Honey dark roast I have high hopes for since I hate light roasts but I don’t really understand what the fuck they’re taking about on their product pages. All I understood was dark roast so I’ll giveit a shot.

    And on the total opposite side from the neo-African coffee roaster you suggested, Harrio has the hipsteriest hipster pictured on the Switch product page. Instantly made me hate the product with absolutely no basis for that opinion. Interesting dichotomy of suggestions, 9/10 would look at again.

    Oof this is definitely wrong. A blood thinner is one of the most important things whether a patient is taking or not. It’s the nurses job to let the doctor know whether the patient is compliant not only for medical reasons but for documentation. That’s outside the argument about profit in healthcare in US, that’s basic medicine. What if that patient falls and hits their head? Do we need to know if they’re on s blood thinner? What if they’re hemoglobin starts dropping? What if they need a procedure? What tif their platelets start dropping? Etc, etc, etc.

    Don’t be a dick and not do your job, that makes your coworkers miserable and puts people in danger especially in medicine. I agree with burlit being and issue and chronic understaffing but be an adult and quit or move positions if you don’t like it.


  • It’s not that CPR doesn’t work, it’s that outcomes after resuscitation usually aren’t great. The study doesn’t disclose ages or neurological outcomes post-rescuscitation so that limits my interpretation but quick rescue and quick CPR is key in those acute, single reason emergencies. That isn’t to say in an emergency situation you shouldn’t try especially since you don’t know that person’s wishes. There are good outcomes but usually for underlying healthy people who had one thing go wrong. Think the athlete who’s heart stops on the field for some reason.

    I’ve admitted at least a thousand people into a hospital through the ER and I tell everyone that it’s not like on TV. If you’re older, sick, multiple chronic diseases, don’t take care of yourself, etc. the chances of any kind of quality of life after CPR is limited. Death is terrifying and I understand them wanting to try but it’s just not realistic a lot of the time. We need better deaths in the US and more in-depth end-of-life conversations with our patients. That should be starting in the PCP’s office. Trying to discuss that with a patient in the ER who’s already scared isn’t ideal. I’ve seen patients with do not resuscitate/do not intubate orders on file change their mind when they’re suffocating and panicking then once they’re more stable immediately change their mind back.





  • Couple of things it could be:

    1. You locked your knees without realizing it, shut down the blood return from your legs, then had a drop in blood pressure due to decreased blood return to your heart causing you to pass out.
    2. You took a big hit, expanded your chest, held it, decreased blood flow through your thoracic cavity due to the increased intrathoracic pressure then a blood pressure drop as above.
    3. Your vasovagaled yourself somehow (bearing down on a held hit maybe or just due to weed effects) which is increased parasympathetic nervous system tone that drops blood pressure
    4. Some weird shit 🤷🏼‍♂️, the body can be odd and changes as we age so maybe you just can’t smoke weed now cause of the earlier mentioned weird shit

    I agree with your doc (I’m a family med physician), don’t smoke if all of a sudden you’re passing out.
