    Cheapest BD player with Plex ap?

    I am a huge fan of Sony BDP-S590 - 3D capable. Hella cheap. WiFi. Automatically changes inputs when you turn on the player, too.

    Last night must've been hell night for ERs. Stanford was particularly bad; multiple arrests, trauma 99s that had been upgraded from lower trauma, traumas in the hallway, patients waiting in the waiting room for 5+ hours with neutropenia from cancer.

    I went to an EM conference back in November and this very article was discussed: NEJM Journal Watch: Summaries of and commentary on original medical and scientific articles from key medical journals Yes, it is fucking true. Holy hell, what an amazing "drug". lol.

    Love the opening of Goblin Slayer where it's super slow before vocals come in. Really makes it sound like a depressing anime, lol. edit: Checking the Goblin Slayer wiki...looks like it's catching up to the LN after this season?

    ^ Yep. We talk so much smack about our patients. For a profession such as this, we generally hate our patients. Haha.

    Pain is subjective and nurses will not accuse you of faking it. Physicians maybe, not nurses. We just document. "Patient states they are in 10/10 pain, looks comfortable. MD notified requesting for pain medication," =P

    Ah yes. We do get patients who refuse narcotics (who should absolutely be on narcotics) because they don't want to get addicted.

    The face scale is actually a much more accurate tool when assessing pain:

    Health Problems

    Most of the patients who arrive in the ER point to 10. These patients are also on their phone and look comfortable. The pain scale absolutely does not work one bit except for certain cultures -- stoicism -- (Asian) as it is easily exploitable. People just want the D.

    @Lanx , make sure to buy one of those gel gloves and foot socks to keep the moisturizer locked inside. Your hands and feet will love you for using O'Keefe (most nurses use this at home). @Borzak , ouch!! Sorry man. Large bone fractures are at risk for fat emboli, so they'll likely monitor you...

    Make sure you have accurate fitting shoes. Don't pick at your feet - especially calluses. Sometimes, it's just unfortunately inevitable.

    Naw. We have nurses who double glove or are just afraid of a patient because of risk of exposure to HIV. Really it is standard precautions. Telling me that someone is HIV+ means very little to me unless they have some kind of opportunistic infection, which then education can certainly lead a...

    People just don't get it. Neither do nurses. Whenever we get patients who come in HIV -- even undetectable levels -- the reporting nurses will often whisper, "BTW, he is HIV+!!" like it's going to change anything in the standard of care. These people piss me off beyond belief. HIV is manageable...

    Fall 2018 Anime Thread

    Latest episode of Black Clover was very, very difficult to watch with the terrible animation. Had absolutely no idea what was happening because it looked like a child was drawing it (sadly an insult to a child). However, story is still good.

    Survivor

    I can't believe how much of a liability Gabby was for Christian. It likely cost him the game if he is unable to get to the final 2/3.

    Most I've seen come from a bladder after I placed a catheter in someone was around 1.3L. Yes, 1300mL of urine. Over a liter. It sounds like they irrigated your bladder a little cause you had clots in it. We do continuous bladder irrigation (CBI) in the hospital and it is a pain. The normal foley...

    Christian is guaranteed going to win Fan Favorite. Christian by far is the biggest threat in terms of social AND competitive gameplay. I hope he makes it to the end because he fucking deserves it. And @Gravel , that is not true. There were 2-3 episodes where the Davids attempted to work with...

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    Beat the game on Google Stream - almost 60 hours. Just can't bring myself to investing anymore time into this game when I know it will be all for naught. Hunter abilities vastly overpower any of the other abilities, which is a little disappointing. I thought the ship battles were tedious. The...

    Survivor

    Can't believe no updates on this. Latest episode was absolutely insane -- a first for Survivor history. Playing hidden immunity idol to predict who's going to potentially fall, and in good ol' David fashion, unseated a Goliath.

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    I've spent about 60 hours on this on Project Stream. I've pretty much stopped doing quests at this point because I know that I'm going to lose all my access. Very sad and disappointed that they are not willing to let us import our saved games. I've got all the legendary beasts down, Medusa is...

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    I'm playing this on Google Stream and sadly will lose all of my saved progress once it ends. Pretty disappointing that they won't provide an import option for those who are actually interested in purchasing the game. Anyways...level 37 and I still don't know how to use my other arrows. For...

    Noodle, are you on any antidepressants by chance? We could also get that one black dude to sell you some ROCK HARD for a crazy weekend.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Actually, the likelihood of people attempting to cure Greyscale is unlikely in itself as it has been passed down by generation to generation of being incredibly infectious/contagious. So, again, one does not know if people actually attempted to ridding someone of Greyscale aside from the book...

    In Lord of Shadow, Trevor is Alucard. Hence why I said that I've only really known Trevor as Alucard, instead of them being completely different people.

    Castlevania

    Holy hell, this is incredibly addicting. The interactions between the two forgemasters is fantastic. I was unfortunate to never play any of the original Castlevania's -- only Lords of Shadow (though, I dabbled in SotN after LoS), so I only know Alucard as Trevor. Difficult to distinguish the two...

    Was totally expecting Goblin Slayer to be some kiddy shit show with the title. After the rape scene, I knew that wasn't going to be the case. The show is wildly addicting.
