Eh, the happy juice button only lets you push it for a full dose like every fifteen minutes.

Of course with my bonkers body chemistry, morphine does squat to relieve pain. But boy howdy does it get me high! FYI, tripping while in excruciating pain is not fun.

Sis in Law, is a top doctor at a big hospital. We're at family dinner an she is stressing as it looks like she is going to lose one of her patients as they can't find out whats wrong with her. We look on sympathetically and more than anything to break the ice I say it's probably Lupus.... She looks up thinks for a minute and gives me a hard stare. and says "Jesus, you might be right." She then gets her mobile and calls the hospital, and they run tests. Turns out it was Lupus. They treat her and she pulls through. She phones after and asks me why I thought it Lupus. I said "I said I've watched every episode of House and its always Lupus." ... But to be honest I'd no effin idea what Lupus was....

Is this really the case with no identifying information? "I have a sick patient" or "I have a patient with a glowing green appendix".

That sort of thing seems common enough among doctors I know here, but something like "I treated the Winnie the Pooh-bah when he had heart trouble" waited until after Winnie had already publicly praised him for it.

"I have a sick patient" would probably be fine.

"My patient that we ran urgent Lupus tests on in the middle of the evening came back positive" would be more questionable.

Aside from the fact that the doctor was discussing a patient's status at dinner in sufficient detail that she would think there was an actual reason behind a diagnosis.

Real STDH: it's never Lupus.

As a person who worked with HIPAA information before, I'm pretty sure as long as you don't share patient identifying information, you're probably okay, but then again the rules might be more stringent for doctors, as opposed to just people handling the information. I think saying "I met with a lupus patient today" is fine, but saying even "I saw Bob Johnson today" is a big no.

He didn't directly mention her dropping any PHI but it's super lovely to talk about your patients in public, and if you provide enough info that the patient could ostensibly be identified (even without direct PHI) I think that's a violation. I was talking about the implied conversation, not the actual imgur post.

I also like the implication that you just give the Lupus patient some Lupex (sinosphetriclomodine HCP) and everything's better, instead of it being an incurable disease that requires varying degrees of management for the rest of the patient' life.

I was alt-tabbed from a raid and just rushed the whole thing phonetically from memory. But in my defense I'm very poorly read on modern mainstream music. Off the top of my head, the only R&B band I can think of was Destinys child because they were very popular when I was young.

Amnesia

quote:

This troper's friend, upon having a bad break-up and getting every other member of Drama Club pissed at her for trying to slander him afterward, fell and lightly tapped her head on the ground to try and fake amnesia, claiming to have lost memory of everything from the first day of her freshman year. What made it a true wallbanging moment was that many people without knowledge of amnesia, including at least one of her teachers, believed it. Of course, when people began to suspect that it was a charade, she suddenly began regaining memories at a very fast rate.


Fishing

quote:

This editor is proud to say that in one instance in a university cafeteria, while recounting the particularly stupid actions of another student, said student walked up behind me and sat at the same table in the middle of the conversation. Warned early enough to completely change the entire topic in the middle of a sentence and carry on, the subject of the interrupted story was confused when I received polite applause from the rest of the table at the conclusion of an apparent discussion of lobster fishing.


Acid

quote:

This troper's Cisco class had a kid who had dropped acid, and it stayed in his system, so whenever he gets too uptight, someone would crack his back. He immediately goes limp and starts tracing the invisible fly patterns with his hands with a stupid grin on his face. You could do literally anything to him while he's in LA LA land.


Seafood

quote:

This Troper learned the hard way that this can sometimes happen to people with allergies. In high school, the lunch special was fried rice. She and several of her friends ordered it and were eating it when about 1/4 of the way through the lunch period one of them (who'd been doing homework at the same time) looks alarmingly down at his plate and says:
J__: Wait a minute...does that have seafood in it?
D__: Yes.
J__: Uh oh...I'm allergic to seafood.
Me: Um, how allergic? Oh-dear-I-have-a-rash allergic or OH-GOD-OH-GOD-I'm-gonna-die allergic? Do I need to call the nurse/hospital?
J__: Oh, nothing really serious, it just messes with my brain chemistry a bit. I'm gonna be loopy for a while...
And he really was completely loopy and out there for the rest of the day. The best part? He didn't remember the second half of that day nor the first half of the next. Yeah, beware of some allergies.


Libbies

quote:

Oh god. Oh GOD. There were SEVERAL Libbies at my old high school who would do nothing but make my life hell. Being the unpopular loner didn't help either, PLUS the teachers would hardly ever listen when I tried to inform them. And when I actually fought back, they bitched about it to the teachers, who SUSPENDED ME. Ugh, thank god I'm moving schools this year... If I ever encounter one of them again, I'm going to cuntpunt them, drat the consequences.


Clique

quote:

This troper goes to a school where there is little to no social hierarchy, but VERY tight cliques. This particular high school is ruled by the student council, the football team, and the band. Band kids are generally really nice and open, but can turn viscious at non-band geeks entering the band room. This troper is regarded as the Libby of the freshman band kids. She has a reputation for being loyal, but bitchy towards people who try to inch into the band clique. This troper does not actually want to be the Libby, but her personality puts her there. This troper is not blonde, but goes from tomboy to girly girl in a blink of an eye, is asian, and can flatten any wannabe with fists or bitchiness.


PTSD

quote:

This troper went to an entire school full of Libbies. She walked away with an even worse temper than she had (which is saying a lot) and PTSD.
