The Hangout: EVERYONE IS HATED BY IVOLT

[Milady]

Teriyaki...

Bust. BUST!

One time, after getting fucked up on peyote, I was trapped in a car for three hours because I thought there was a moose trying to charge the door every time I attempted to open it and get away.

, indeed.

Er...let me rephrase that.

That's kind of hilarious. I'm sort of sad I wasn't around to point and laugh.

You have to begin somewhere. All of my friends who took medicine seem to say pretty much the same thing. That they do a lot of really basic things for the first time in real life scenarios once they've actually started work. Scaaaaaaary. :'D I'm sure it'll go fine, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I'll keep mine crossed, too, although that probably won't help much with actually getting the needle in and the catheter secured.

Just jab it in. It's not like the patient will notice a poorly administered IV.

I know I didn't.

It depends on what I'm giving through the IV, of course.

I think most people might start to suspect that something is amiss when their skin starts sloughing off.

As far as you need to be concerned, I said:

Generic Ivolt comments? Gotcha

[Drageuth]

For anything I have to write, I generally have to access scientific papers online, thankfully they are free through my college's website, 8 books in the library for one course that 200 people are doing makes it hard to get the book in the library.

Harsh toke, dude...

In other news, I'm contemplating going back to school. Either going to actual classes in a year or so, or seeing if I can get signed up for online courses.
Because cutting meat, while fun, is not my dream job.

[Ivolt]

This is not true.

No one cares when you talk to them. There is a difference.

Oh-oh! You got jokes! I respect you!

Remember this when you find a bullet in the base of your skull.

When it comes to taking blood there is a knack to it or so I'm told, missing means a fair amount of pain for the person involved so I doubt putting in an IV would be much different.

[Milady]

Is this another ploy to lure me to the US?

Some of my skirts are pretty short, but I don't think any of them are mini. A little above knee height~ I like that sort of length best.

What if it is?

[Drageuth]

Er...let me rephrase that.

That's kind of hilarious. I'm sort of sad I wasn't around to point and laugh.

Also, that was not one of my shining moments. Or the time it took us 45 minutes to cross two lanes of traffic because the lights wwwwaaaayyyy in the distance might be cars.

My teenage years were not my shining moments.

I think most people might start to suspect that something is amiss when their skin starts sloughing off.

But at the same time, imagine the stories they could tell!

"I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL AND GOT BRAND NEW SKIN!"
"... dude, that's like... muscle and tissue and shit...!"
"... ohfuckitburnssogood..."

Until the tissue around your hand/wrist becomes grossly swollen with fluids.

I'm not sure I'd call it "grossly" so much as "is it supposed to swell up like that?"

I'd rather take blood any day. Then you can go straight for the antecubital space, instead of having to dig around in someone's forearm a few times first.

[Ivolt]

What if it is?

Then you're getting a lot more than one visitor in that period.

It`s not?! Who wouldn`t want to chop up stuff all day? Except for you it`s more... bloody.

I would worry, but around here a black person stands out like... a black person.

I've had a couple of times when they were taking blood and missed a few times. Not necessarily "painful," but definitely very uncomfortable.

My hand was like, twice as big as a normal hand is supposed to look. It was actually really awesome.
