Yeah they don't pump you up on pain meds for the surgery, they sedate you. People who have woken up in the middle of surgery (an absolutely horrifying experience) can have to undergo some pretty intense therapy to deal with the PTSD from the experience. Inter-operative awareness is like a loving nightmare come to life because you can hear, see, and feel exactly what is going on, but cannot move because you are likely paralyzed by the sedatives and muscle relaxants, so you can't even indicate that you are aware and feeling to the OR staff, it's up to the anesthesiologist noticing that your readings aren't right and correcting your anesthesia.

Your body still feels all of that pain, and reacts to it, even if you're not conscious of it.

I woke up during surgery once, and it took the better part of a year before the nightmares stopped. Partially responsible was the fact that they hosed up the spinal anesthesia and I slowly lost all muscles from the waist down, but slowly moving up, to the point where my breathing went, and I literally didn't have any breath to tell the anesthesiologist about this. So I'm trying to breathe, but can't, and the two doctors in the room are telling me to relax and "just calm down".

They didn't realize anything was wrong until vomit started slowly pouring out my mouth without any convulsions as my eyes were screaming panic at them. They figured poo poo was hosed, intubated me, added a general anesthesia on top of the whole deal, and then I woke up about an hour into surgery.

poo poo was not fun.

Re: dirty bombs. Had an uncle who was USCG in New York City some years ago, one of his favorite stories was getting a radiation hit off this packed container ship. Cue opening everything to look for the culprit.

Finally, they locate the hot container. Open it, expecting to find armageddon, and instead?

No. It complicates cleanup but isn't likely to kill any more people than a regular bomb, and makes it much easier to detect.

I woke up near the end of getting my wisdom teeth out. Didn't hurt but I could feel them drilling the last one to pieces and yanking the bits out with pliers. It was fine but I guess they noticed me looking round or whatever cos I remember them giving me the standard "doing fine, nearly done" etc. Nothing like Duzzy :stare:

I was working on an old color TV from the early 60s when a friend walked in and saw the X-Ray warning on the back and freaked out. Cue me spending 15 minutes explaining that while the Hv regulator tube emits a minute amount of X-rays there is this thing called shielding , and that's why all the high voltage stuff is inside a metal cage. Even after that he never wanted to be in the same room when that set was playing.

Lollll apparently they used to do that for us but stopped when they kept finding soldiers wandering around outside of camp. Had to get a buddy to come pick me up and drive me the ~5 minute walk to barracks.

I asked a dentist if you could build up a resistance to novocain (after a couple of shots and like 20 minutes of BSing) and he told me No.

With our combined anecdotal experiences, I'm willing to call him a liar.

I worked in a hardware store during high school in 2002 during that period, and the amount of defeated looking husbands coming in to buy plastic sheeting and duct tape while their wives sat in the car was a great source of entertainment.

I'm seeing on Reddit that this Charleston thing might've been a 4chan prank.

And now for something completely different
gently caress yes, finally:

quote:

It's been a long time in coming and had plenty of trials and tribulations, but it's finally here: mobile roaming is now free in the EU. As long as you have service in a member state and live there for at least 8 months each year, you can use your phone's voice, messaging and data in other EU countries at the same rate you'd pay as if you were at home. Well, mostly. There are a number of exceptions to the rule that could leave you paying more, although the likelihood of coming home to a gigantic bill is relatively small.

Carriers can still impose a fair use limit on data while you're traveling (if you have an unlimited or very inexpensive plan), but they're capped at charging you no more than €7.70 per gigabyte plus tax. That ceiling should gradually drop to €2.50 by 2022. Also, a "very small number" of EU carriers are allowed to charge a small roaming fee to make up for lower-than-usual domestic rates, but they should be lower than they were before. And of course, traveling abroad for more than 4 months can incur extra fees.

Now revise copyright/digital distribution laws so the EU gets one gigantic Netflix library instead of 27 crappy little ones :argh:

It's not so much that you build a tolerance, but different people just flat out require different doses. Dentists are going to underdose you more likely than over most of the time because most people do not need much.
