I have a vasovagal response to anxiety and I passed out in front of a fry frier nearly dowsing myself in hot uncleaned grease.

Mr. Lobe posted:Vasovagal syncope is when people pass out because of overreaction to certain stimuli. Blood is a common one. As long as the person wasn't hurt in the process of collapsing, it usually isn't dangerous. I once passed out from vasovagal syncope after drinking a frozen beverage too fast. Apparently the concentration of cold in my stomach hit my vagus nerve in just the right (or wrong) way. I was 100% fine as soon as I woke up*, except for the fact that on my way to the ground I face-planted into the side of a parked car. In front of a crowded restaurant. *I did go to the ER right after I woke up because I didn't know I was actually fine until the doctor figured out what the root cause was. For all I knew I there was something going on with my heart or brain.

Mr. Lobe posted:I actually knew a woman who experienced vasovagal syncope at the sight of blood. I always wondered how she dealt with menstruation, but it seemed impolite to ask. Hi, I also have Vasovagal syncope. "Normal" blood doesn't bother me, like if i get a minor cut or abrasion, or nick my cheek while shaving. Having my blood drawn, however, triggers something in my brain that says "hey yeah no this is bad you should totally just shut down."

I’m frustrated by it, because I had blood drawn with no issue for years. One day, I go in for a blood panel and chill on my phone while the nurse packs everything up. She comes over and says I look pale, then bam, I wake up surrounded by people trying to rouse me. Now I can’t do a blood draw without significant breathing exercises and forewarning. I want to go back to the olden days of not passing out, dammit.

I’m in the same boat - I can cut myself(not to the point of stitches, but a nasty cut), nosebleed, shaving cut, no problem. Stick the blood draw syringe into the crook of my elbow and it’s lights out. I’ve FINALLY built up enough self-control that I can hang my arm out toward the phlebotomist and look the other way without even sneaking a glance and I’m alright. My dad’s the opposite - no problem with blood draws, but a good cut will put him down on the floor. Human physiology is weird.

So the husband didn't think she should've left him alone and unmonitored while he was unconscious, but instead should go inside to get the bandages and come back out, in the meantime leaving her unattended, injured toddler in an unfenced yard with an unconscious man? I guess the only solution would've been to take the kid in with her, then bring everything out and clean the kid up outside while waiting for the husband to come out of it, but that would entail carrying the screaming, bleeding toddler in and out of the house instead of stopping inside and taking the minute or two required to clean the cut and slap a bandaid on it. The Bramble posted:I'm a Stripper and my Husband of 7 years wants me to stop but with no backup plan. OK, this is probably an ignorant question, but during the wife's stripping career she got pregnant and had another child. Even if she had an easy pregnancy and wasn't showing enough to turn off customers who might not pay to see a pregnant stripper, could she have physically kept it up at her job for nine months? Not to mention the recovery time she'd have needed after giving birth. It seems like she wouldn't have been working for several months, at least, even if she worked through most of her third trimester. Did the husband work during this time, or was he cool with his hugely pregnant wife out there busting her rear end for money? He sounds like a useless piece of poo poo as is, but this stands out to me as particularly egregious assholishness. Troublemaker fucked around with this message at 01:59 on Feb 22, 2022 |

Stick the blood draw syringe into the crook of my elbow and it’s lights out. I can look the other way when getting a blood draw and I'll be fine, a little light headed, but fine. When I broke my leg and was in the hospital, I had to get an IV line while hooked up to an EKG. I told the head nurse that I had a bad vagal response and she just chuckled and told the trainee doing the blood draw to get ready for a show as the monitors went loving nuts.

If a place is a gross wreck there should be some examples of grossness OP can point to, and if they don't you're left not knowing if the people are really living in squalor or if OP is freaking out over a dust bunny in the corner or some boxes on the floor.

I can get my blood drawn with no problem as long as I don't watch it happening. But one time in college bio lab, though, we did the ol' experiment where you figure out your blood type. Thrilled to embark on a journey of scientific discovery, I stepped up to the station and jabbed my finger with the lancet, then wondered why everything sounded so far away. Awoke collapsed in a chair, surrounded by other students who thought I'd just died.

That behavior is methy as gently caress, so my guess is that he's back on meth, needed drug money, and wanted to return something for a refund. Probably was going to get identical products off the shelves and try to return them using the receipt.

Hellblazer187 posted:Why would you even care to say no to a sleepover, unless there's a good reason? What wife is doing is awful, but like, why even set up conflict by saying no to harmless stuff in the first place? My parents preferred to weaponize sleepovers for whatever reason. They could never articulate why, and even as an adult I am unsure of what their issue was. We were not some strict religious fundie house - I could play videogames, eat junk food, watch movies with gore and boobs in them, have girls over, and was otherwise pretty unrestricted at home. But if I asked to go sleepover somewhere, they would open the great book of excuses and start launching them. I suppose it worked, in some way. If I was sick I would avoid telling them and continue going to school, just so if I asked about a sleepover they couldn't refuse by referencing "Remember how sick you were 2 weeks ago?". If I ever mentioned I was tired, they would bring it up a week later and say I was too tired for a sleepover. In most respects they were cool parents, but they just had this huge hate boner for boardgames and sleepovers with the lads which were pretty innocuous. They were cool with me playing Duke Nukem 3D, but not RISK. They were cool with going on vacations with the neighbors in which I'd sleep unsupervised in a hotel room with multiple teenage girls my own age (with predictable results!), but staying up all night playing Mario Kart with da boyz was something to be avoided. It just seriously baffles me. I don't have kids, but if I did, I imagine it would be totally awesome to have them just be someone else's problem for a whole night.

This situation very obviously having nothing to do with a receipt aside, almost all stores can reprint a receipt for a little while if you misplaced it and need it for some reason.

Barudak posted:Yes. I've know women who dumped their partners because they were insufficiently the villain in a romcom over other guys even when it was like "this is dave, who I work with". My very first girlfriend in highschool was a 'secret' because her parents were weirdos from the old country who wanted to arrange her a marriage at some point to a boy from their very specific ethnic group, of which there were.... no others in our town? Anyway, she got incredibly angry and dumped me because one of my best friends admitted his crush and asked her out right in front of me. She looked towards me and asked if she should accept and I said "Why would you need my permission?". I mistakenly thought I was still supposed to be Secret Boyfriend because she told me I had to be Secret Boyfriend but didn't inform me that my role was instantly switched to Jealous Guy. My friend had no idea we were going out, and she got angry I didn't tell him (but we were SECRET??) and that I didn't try to shut him down when he flirted with her. Later she told me that even if we were Secret, I should have been proud of her enough to brag to my friends, because she had never ever accepted a boyfriend before and that I should feel fortunate that she was willing to disobey her parents to be with me. She dumped me over it because it was near Valentine's Day and she knew I was going to fail that holiday since I failed this preliminary test. Admittedly, I probably would have failed in a normal clueless dude way on Valentine's Day so I'll score that one for her. She did really end up in that arranged marriage so I guess she was really pining for the old fashioned possessive weirdo. Mr. Grapes! fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Feb 22, 2022 |

The kid's four, a pre-schooler. That's old enough to wait a bit until she knew her husband was conscious and responsive. While a person is probably going to be fine from fainting, she didn't even check on him before she took off to put a bandaid on the boo-boo. A lot of very bad things can happen to a person who goes down like that, from striking his head on the ground and suffering neck and spine injuries to positional asphyxia. She assumed he passed out from blood because he'd done it a few times over ten years, and it might have been that. It also could have been a number of other, much worse things. She didn't know because she assumed and didn't actually check on him. The kid was crying, which makes him a lower priority than an unconscious person. Someone screaming is conscious, breathing and can wait a few minutes. Someone unconscious needs to be assessed and moved into a recovery position immediately. Never, ever leave an unconscious person alone. Also, he was out for a really long time. Probably should see a doctor about that.
