Got the call today, going in for surgery tomorrow, the second will be following soon after. So, that is thrilling!

Still up in the air on the whole hysterectomy thing, so that's also really cool.

My doctor said that I am full of muscle and bravery and beauty, and not to lose an ounce more weight. And to never listen to anyone, including myself, about losing weight. Only him. He knows very well about my history with eating disorders. My prescription is to have a VERY BIG SUPPER, and to tell anyone who ever questions my body to go gently caress themselves. Doctor A+++++

Gonna make gooey fried eggs, roasted potatoes, and leftover turkey with homemade cranberry sauce. I am having a beer on the deck with my father, currently!!!

The doctor also gave me a referral to a female obgyn who would be more than willing to cut out my uterus. Best appointment so far!

Is Shands never not busy as hell?

Well, except Shands at Starke. I went there for some facial swelling last year (cellulitis, of all things) and there wasn't a single person in the waiting room.

I legit tried to run as many calls as were safely possible, because it meant I might not be held over that night (we were the single 1300-0100 crew in a sea of 0600-1800 and 1200-0000 trucks, we specifically existed to help midnight crews get home on time to swap with their dayshifters, we had no counterpart and thus could be held easily). We also got $10/call after the first four as part of our contract.

But if I were a day truck instead of swing, where call volume is essentially infinite... 100% with ya on that. That said, If you're going to insist that we drop off at 'Delaywood,' not my fault if we have to hug a wall for two hours.

I also never stole power bari gurneys from downed/broken trucks so we could run most bari calls without having to wait for a lift assist (ensuring more crews were available to run calls, instead of having to lift assist us), knowing that at the earliest the truck would be back in service was 0600 the next day. Never :ssh:

Isn't it bad to eat before surgery? Like its actually dangerous to eat/drink due to the anesthesia, not just the doc not wanting to get poo poo on.

Read about a lady who died by lighting herself on fire farting on a laser during surgery. That is probably one of the coolest "how'd they die?" responses you could give.

Old medical practice that is slowly falling out of favor, hospital by hospital. It's been known since, like, the 1890s (yes, 120 years ago) that there isn't much danger at all allowing people to eat up to 4 hours prior, and drink fluids up to 2 hours prior. But a flawed 1994 study kind of got its claws embedded at the Mayo Clinic Hospital Rochester, and the rest of the US followed. If you do a google search for "preoperative fasting ncbi" you'll see tons of studies saying it's not necessary. One showed that more people may die from complications related to fasting (blood sugar, electrolytes, elderly) than would potentially die in surgery from aspirating in their lungs.

You need to link to the image itself, not the imgur page. So long-tap or right-click on the image, select "copy URL" or "copy image location," and use that. On Firefox mobile you have to long-tap and click "view image," then copy the URL from there.



For extra fun, instead of posting the full-size image, put an "h" (for "h"uge) after the name but before the .jpg portion. 12345.jpg becomes 12345h.jpg. Saves a ton of loading time that can mess with awful.apk.

E: for playful wording, technically I'm going to court today to kill a man.
