Kalli posted:There's a great book on the siege of Stalingrad that is extremely bleak that just keeps getting bleaker and bleaker. Like the Russians are just totally without food or ammo for wide chunks of it and it's all your standard totally overmatched army surviving by sheer determination stuff, but once the counterattack hits and the Germans get encircled, oh man. They didn't have full winter provisions so guys were just freezing to death at their posts, they eat all the officer's horses and the last few weeks of flights there's soldiers shooting themselves left and right trying to get a med evac on the supply planes and tons of injured soldiers just get trampled to death, and eventually the ones that survive capture just get marched to a prison camp and left to effectively starve to death. During that whole time Hitler kept sending them instructions to hold out because an imaginary relief force was coming to rescue them. As a history

Kalli posted:Enemy at the Gates by William Craig. Ah, that's what I was thinking, some of that sounded pretty familiar. Haven't read it in probably seven or eight years... MalarkeyToboggan posted:Don't know what book he is referring to but I highly recommend Stalingrad by Anthony beever and also the hardcore history podcast series called ghosts of the ostfront. I've had a few people recommend Beever's book, so I'll probably look into that when I have the chance.

On the subject of video game music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fJ8JNtxw8w I remember a few times reloading multiplayer with friends just to get that as the soundtrack for whatever demented reasons. Perfect Dark's soundtrack was awesome too.

swickles posted:For real though, I have seen loads of heartbreak in the hospital. A father literally took a bullet for his son during a home invasion, got shot in the jaw and it hosed up his face real bad. At least both survived. Have also seen mothers die during childbirth, or the baby not make it, those are particularly hard. Normally, if you make it to a trauma center with vital signs, your chances of survival are really really good. If you arrive with a pulse and are completely conscience, the odds of survival are even better. Still, its always the ones that say "I'm dying" that end up dead, its weird, like they know for sure and this is their last utterance. Once had a guy come in after a motorcycle accident completely awake and aware. Start screaming that he was dying, he clearly needed surgery so we sent him to the OR. Controlled the abdominal injuries, but had major bleeding in the pelvis. The pelvis is a really hard area to access surgically, so usually we pack them full of pads to help clotting, then send them to the angio suite in radiology, where they embolize to control the bleeding. Anyways, this guy was fully conscience, put him under for surgery, which he survived but ultimately crashed and died in angio. That was a tough one. But one of the hardest cases ever was a trauma one I worked a while back, I was still a student at the time, but a senior so they let/trusted me to do more than usual. Anyway, we normally don't get a lot of backstory with the patients when they come in, usually its figured out later from either the patient, the family, or even the press. We get a patient thats been shot and we go to work. The presence of police sometimes helps inform us of the nature of how the injury was sustained too. This story was remarkable because the fighting involved managed to spill over into the resus bay (where we do the initial evaluation and make the decision to send straight to the OR, or off for testing to see if surgery is necessary). Anyways, a young kid comes in, looked to be 17 or 18 (later found out 19, still, he looked super young) after an assault. He was worked over real good, this was no fight, it was a beating. Like 12 seconds after he is rolled through the doors, they burst open with some guy and police in tow. Apparently this guy was the one who put him in that state, but the police didn't know it and were only pursuit because he was bursting into what should be a secure area (since we get a lot of shooting/stabbing victims, plus we handle the prison population, we have a full time police and sheriff presence aside from hospital security). Anyways, it turns out this guy was the father of the beaten dudes girlfriend, who was only 14 or 15. He was screaming at him for being a pedophile and deserved death and all kinds of things you expect to hear from a father whose daughter has been raped. The police manage to subdue the guy and take him elsewhere, not sure if he was ever charged or arrested. Keep in mind that in a trauma situation, you don't have time to learn all the facts and info, you just have what you have and need to make decisions based on that. At this time we had a kid looked to be about the same age as the girl he was dating, so there wasn't any judgement to be made. Anyways, we work on the kid and he is fully awake the entire time, we don't think there is internal bleeding, just the external cuts made from not a knife, but some rough, blunt metal, maybe like a crowbar edge or something. Eventually we realize the problem (a clotting factor deficiency combined with what was likely a pulmonary hemorrhage. He goes from ok to poo poo in seconds, he is struggling to breath and clearly about to die. He is trying to say something, maybe anything, just so he has some last words. I took off his oxygen mask and leaned in, asking him what he was trying to say. Through bloody breath, he spoke those words I will remember forever, the last words of some poor teenager beaten to death by his girlfriends father: "Actually it's called ephebophilia and..." And with that, he was gone. Mother of God.

My biggest memory was the theater was totally packed because it had the trailer for Star Wars: Episode I, and after that aired, there were about eight people left.

I don't have a dog because I live in a tiny apartment and am barely home, which is sad. However, it does give me the opportunity to often house sit for those in my family that do have dogs, which kinda helps me get my fix (Not really but it's better than nothing). My aunt's dogs are awesome, Astro and Cody:  As are my cousins, Sadie and Wrigley:  And my brothers, Stella:  Dogs rule

Publix brand stuff is awesome, and their deli section is amazing (that chicken!) but god drat are their commercials some annoying poo poo. They had one a year or two ago, I think on the radio, that almost flat out said "Yeah, we aren't as cheap as Walmart, but we almost are if you bring in 10,000 coupons from the newspaper!"
