A guy in my SERE stick somehow managed it. Some radio show also held a contest "Hold Your Wee to Win a Wii" and some poor mother died from it years back, I believe.

I remember that, the radio hosts got in deep poo poo because a nurse called in to warn them and they laughed it off. And yeah she died, poor family.

For anyone who cares: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDND

"The Sacramento Bee released audio clips from the morning show indicating that the disc jockeys were aware of the death of Matthew Carrington by water intoxication.[8] At one point, a caller contacted the station and informed the DJs that the contest could be dangerous and potentially fatal.[9] The DJs responded by saying, "We're aware of that," and joked that the contestants had signed releases and couldn't file a lawsuit. "

Narrator voice: "They could."

"On October 29, 2009, after a week of deliberations, the jury awarded the survivors of Jennifer Strange the sum of $16,577,118 in monetary damages."

Vasudus posted:

Being an Engineer on the Iraq/Syria border means a lot of border construction. We had a huge, huge AO and we were responsible for building a 15 foot berm between Iraq/Syria to prevent smugglers, allegedly. Since being inside dozers and ACEs in 120 degree heat is an excuse to have heat casualties, most of the work we would do was at dusk into the night.

So we're out building a berm at a new site at like 0200 and something isn't right. The paper maps had us right were we were supposed to be. The FBCB2 had us about a mile on the wrong side of the border. My XO, believing himself to be the second coming of Patton himself, said that we were fine and to continue on mission. This was his project, after all.

About 0230 rolls around and my gunner says

'uh...SGT Vasudus, a BMP is the wheeled ruskie APC right?'
'...no, why?'
'so what's wheeled with a 50 on it?'
'...that's a BRDM...are you studying for the board or something?'
'see those lights way out to the west? like 50 of those BRDM things are coming right for us'

Welp.

I immediately hop up there and look down the nightvision scope to see what the christ he was talking about. Sure as poo poo, there was a huge fuckoff wheeled and light track force heading for us at high speed. At least two whole company+ sized elements.

I tell my XO that we're on the wrong side of the border and the Syrians aren't very happy about it. He says they're wrong and we'll be fine, and he's gonna call in some air support to scare them off. He relays his coordinates and my TOC informs him that the FBCB2 is correct.

XO comes screaming over the radio 'PACK YOUR poo poo! PACK YOUR poo poo! WE'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE BORDER'

So we quickly left this half finished berm project and immediately left the area back to Iraq.

I posted this in 2012. The event itself happened in 2005 long before any of the ISIS shenanigans. Said LT is now a civilian high up in the Pepsi corporation that his daddy got him a job.

Hyponatremia due to severe dillution of your vascular system dropping your sodium level to less than normal variations.

It's actually a pretty dangerous condition that can lead to death, and requires a slow process of returning the sodium level to normal values or you run the risk of osmotic dymelination syndrome.

That's my nursing tip for you all today, tomorrow is free rectal exams

Yepper, your Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone process gets hosed up. Too much water means no renin regulation which means no sodium regulation which means (hypo?/per?i think per in this case)tensive crisis.

Actually low blood sodium is Hyponatremia.

It largely wouldn't, it was mostly window dressing and keeping people from just straight up walking over. Our solution has always been to just pop a tank nearby and have thermals spot them way out. But we didn't really have the equipment to spare, and we needed something that the Iraqis could do presumably if we left.

The borders there are a goddamn nightmare of crisscrossing rocks, streams, and crevices that the maps do not do proper justice. So it was also trying to standardize the concept of 'hey dipshits, use the border checkpoint'.

I mean it could work in the same way a wall would, but only if backed by like a shitload of people manning sensors, drones, and the vehicle checkpoints everyone would get funneled to.

Your blood pressure really doesn't get directly affected with hyponatremia solely on the issue of low sodium. What you worry about with hyponatremia on a physiological level is the change in osmolarity within the vascular system. As solutes *I.E sodium* leaves the body, water begins to extract from your vascular system and infiltrate cells and most importantly, the brain. Since the brain of course is in a very finite space, you begin to have significant neurological complications associated with cerebral edema/herniation which is the biggest fear factor when dealing with cases of hyponatremia.

Blood pressure usually isn't directly correlated with hyponatremia itself but usually associated with the main reason why they became hyponatremic in the first place. Things such as burns, SIADH, persistent vomiting or diuretic abuse will cause a secondary hyponatremia on top of a hypovolemic state. There are reasons that cause people to stay in a "hydrated" state or hyperhydrated state that still causes hyponatremia and really the only thing you're battling as a provider is just correcting their NA value on the lab chart.
