At least my day was pretty good and uneventful. G'luck with your stuff, Shale.

A translation of my post into the Good Xorning vernacular:

MY LIFE IS OVER. IT'S ALL OVER. I STUBBED MY TOE AT WORK IN FRONT OF MY WORKFRIENDS AND THEY THINK I'M A CLUMSY OAF NOW!

*slit slit slit slit slit slit slit slit down the street, not across the road slit slit slit slit slit slit slit*

Are you sure that's not a whore mating call?

Nah, whores don't talk about that slit.

Good Xorning translation:

WOMEN ARE EVIL AND LOVE IS FALSE I'LL NEVER GET A GOOD GIRLFRIEND ALL WOMEN ARE EVIL MANIPULATING BITCHES I HATE LIFE FOREVER!!!!

See? Subtle.

First Citycouncil Person: "Ah, I see. Alright, we'll look at it for a month and call you again after that to see how things stand by then."

*one week later*

Second Citycouncil Person: "Okay I've signed you up for mandatory classes on HOW TO ASK FRIENDS IF THE PLACES THEY WORK AT HAVE JOB VACANCIES starting next week. ^_^ What? What other agreements? durr sorry iduncare"

Suddenly voting on the council has become a lot more relevant to me.

Wait, so exactly what happened?

Clear Tranquil · « **Reply #3132 on:** November 10, 2009, 04:39:47 PM »

Thanks OK, Lady Door, Zenny.

Just discovered my ex step dad (sister's dad) had pneumonia and has been informed his lungs are gone (I have no idea what this really means/exactly what it entails) Ironically? He gave up smoking years ago and only went to the doctor because thought he had swine flu or something >_>

Edit: I'm guessing my sister didn't give my mother the proper details and it's only one lung that's gone or that both lungs are practically but not completely gone because yeah ... My mom said something about him perhaps having to go to hospital for oxegen?

Long story short my local government are idiots. :p I had an agreement with one guy, and then this lady suddenly overturns that agreement. Minor point of annoyance, now I have to attend meetings about "learning how to find work" every week.

Hey, who knows, a nice friend I've yet to meet might just be among the others.

Uh, wow CT. That... I've no idea what it means when your lungs are gone, but I don't think it's something you want. Hope he'll be alright.

That sounds bad. Hope he gets better. Could be Emphysema, could also just be the lungs shutting down now because of the fluid in his lungs.

Christ, CT, that sounds terrible. Hope it's not the end of the world there.

mrf, I need food.

Shale · « **Reply #3137 on:** November 10, 2009, 11:53:12 PM »

Thanks for the good wishes, everyone. He's already getting better - rehab starts soon, and his mouth is moving well enough that he can talk intelligibly again. The fact that he's done that on his own makes me ridiculously happy.

CT, I'm really sorry to hear that. It does sound like emphysema; I hope he can recover.

...

You know, there were a lot of ways I was considering for opening this post up with. However, here's the story of my last bit of day...

There was a code blue called on a unit today. Patient has severe allergies to everything, including latex, which somehow touched her. I was there, ran there with the resident I was working with. The patient had epi-pens with them. No one, not any of the nurses/physicians there, had ever used one before, and the patient was out of it. I've done it once for my sister, so I had a general idea. Since no one was moving...I figured someone had to before she got intubated.

Now, the last time I used one, it had a black top that had to be pressed to fire the needle. This pen looked exactly the same, so I grabbed the top black button, and jammed it in to her hip...

Except that this was a different pen, designed to be "easier" to use. The black tip was the needle, and it responded to pressure.

Needless to say, I got 3 mcg of epinephrine injected in to my thumb.

More importantly, as I've researched the pen with a few other people, this was a defective one - the needle never retracted, and stuck in my thumb, bending about 90 degrees about half the length of the needle, and turning into a fishhook the last 1/4 inch or so.

...uh....yeah. That was a pleasant hour. Walked down to the ER (light-headed, exceptionally tachycardic, although no initial pain due to all the vasoconstriction). Funny the nurse asked me why my blood pressure was 182/164 - she asked me if I had high blood pressure at such a young age >_> Gee, maybe I just got a VASOPRESSOR injected in to me >_>

Pulling the needle out was fun - they took x-rays, and had to twist it around for 5 minutes to get it out. Then I asked for phentolamine, but we decided to just soak it for a few hours. During my time in there, I had people go by and ask me what happened. I even had physicians I knew walk by and ask me questions! Like I was working >_>

Not awful, but I'm half thinking of a lawsuit, since, if that were done on a patient, it would be pretty much even worse.

Also got two cute nurses to give me their phone numbers. How odd >_>

superaielman · « **Reply #3139 on:** November 11, 2009, 12:08:46 AM »

A:Good work with the phone numbers. B: Yeah, that is a major fuckup. Holy crap, that sucks.

Edit: The nurses don't know how to use a fucking epi pen? What the christ. *I* know how to use one and that's something you learn in a basic first aid course.

Shale · « **Reply #3140 on:** November 11, 2009, 12:18:21 AM »

Wow. That is special. Glad you're okay now, but yeah, that would really, really suck if it happened to somebody who was already in condition to need epinephrine. Good work macking on the nurses, though!

Lady Door · « **Reply #3141 on:** November 11, 2009, 12:23:36 AM »

That sucks on two levels.

1) Ow. Needle. Five minutes of twisting, an X-ray AND all the full side-effects of an unnecessary epi injection? Ow.

2) NONE of the nurses and doctors knew how to use an epi-pen?!

Shale · « **Reply #3142 on:** November 11, 2009, 12:25:04 AM »

Apparently nobody knows how to make one either, so it all balances out.

Doooooo eeeeeeeet. [not legal advice.]

seriously, if there are defective epipens out there, their designer may need a little monetary motivation to grease the wheels of innovation.

Anyways yeah, stupid needles and poorly made medical equipment. Good job with the nurses though.

I thought OK had a girlfriend.

I'd give you a 'Phone Numbers FIVE! Yeah!', but I'm afraid I might hurt your thumb.

Apparently you need random epinephrine injections more often, as it obviously improves your Mackin' skillz.

Not so subtle with the XORNS today, are we Ko?

Dunefar · « **Reply #3148 on:** November 11, 2009, 06:28:12 AM »

Blame Hatbot and Kobot! I'm innocent! So what if Xorn nearly killed everyone?!

Sierra · « **Reply #3149 on:** November 11, 2009, 06:35:43 AM »

Because I feel this needs to be shared, the above refers to an RP session in which we fought a XORN (D&D monster). During the course of this very short fight, the following occurred:

-3/4 of party reduced to single-digit HP. The fight only lasted three rounds, so you can guess what the thing's attack rolls looked like.
-The party sorcerer rolled four ones for magic missile damage. Then he rolled three ones and a two. SUCH AN IMPROVEMENT.
-XORN CRITICAL SMASH.
-XORN CRITICAL SMASH x2. (Thankfully not confirmed.)
-The party rogue (me) whiffed on every attack.

Discerning the dicebots' earnest intent to kill us, we ran like hell.
