"Visiting"

Ok gonna hop on the bedbug derail. Steam will kill them, the problem is finding the fuckers. They are incredibly small at the nymph stage and get deep into cracks and crevices. It's not as simple as just blasting them.

There are people on YouTube touting all manner of spray on toxins. They just move away from any sort of residual treatment including DTE.

They will find you. I had a couple nights reprieve sleeping in a chair, so they just moved to the chair.

Its a loving nightmare to treat them.

One thing I've always found interesting is the old trope where a child would have their bed and there would be cans on the legs of the bed. Back in the day they used to put kerosene in the cans and make sure the kids were tucked in tight with nothing dangling on the carpet hence the saying "Sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite!". If bedbugs did show up they would have to go over the rim of the cans and then into the kerosene where they would die.

I've worked hospital jobs full of serious infectious disease and human matter of all sorts.

The one thing no one hosed around with was the risk of bed bug infestation.

Someone please help me find my keys =(
I used to do municipal bylaw enforcement and a big part of that was requiring landlords to meet their obligations to tenants, big one being to remediate bedbugs. The most effective treatment I saw was these mobile vans you'd hire to come out that were basically ovens you'd put furniture in and you would cook or steam the hell out of them.
It was awful though, often vulnerable people wouldn't complain or really understand what was going on. You'd go into their apartments and beds would just be caked brown with blood. One time there were so many moving around on the bed I thought I had vertigo or something because the bed looked like it was fluid until I realized what was happening.

When I was traveling all the time for work bedbugs were always a concern. I started packing a UV flashlight to inspect the hotel rooms before settling in.

Usually that just led to other unsettling discoveries.

My guess is that it would depend on whether it's causing a problem or not, considering that loving around with it would be heart surgery.

The patient's neck started to go glub glub:

A healthy 23-year-old woman was referred for evaluation of a murmur and an increasingly pulsatile neck mass, first noted 2 years before presentation. Physical examination revealed a prominent pulsation in the right side of the neck, shown in a video, and an early diastolic murmur.

Holy poo poo, I didn't even realize it had sound--the video played automatically, but muted, like a GIF--and sent it to my mother. I only hope she didn't jump through the hoops to unmute it. (She replied "LOL!," so probably.)

As part of my heart-valve surgery in 2012, they did (along with at least half-dozen other tests and procedures during one very long day at Temple U Hospital) a contrast MRI to see the lay of the land, so to speak.

Nothing gets your attention like hearing your heart surgeon on the other end of your phone saying, "We found an anomaly during your work-ups." I was somewhat concerned about what else all of this testing might uncover after 49-years of a life well-lived.

Turns out that my left descending aorta, doesn't. I have a mirror - it's a right-descending aorta! The entire surgical plan had to be swapped around.

I'm sure there's a simple explanation. Perhaps as a baby you accidentally stumbled into the fourth dimension for a moment, and when you came back here to the third, you were facing the wrong way around and so from then on you were a mirror image of yourself -- or, from your perspective, the universe was suddenly mirrored.

I was seeing a doctor for high (like 179/95) blood pressure. He was looking at some test results on the computer and loudly exclaimed "oh nooo!".

He'd clicked on the wrong icon. I did scold him for it. Aeroplane pilots, doctors, nurses, fire control officers, barbers, nuclear technicians, train drivers, etc. do not get to say "oh no!" about trivial things.
