Guy I used to do business with in Myrtle Beach (he had a fastener / firestop/ rope / rigging store) said before that he was in medical sales. He sold some brand of knees. He said the pay was good but the bad part was he was on call all the time and had to be in the operating room when one of his knees was being installed to insure it was installed correctly.
That really stuck with me. The surgeon was unable to tell if the knee was upside down and/or it was major CYA?

That seems completely ridiculous that he'd have to be there. There are thousands of knee replacements in the US every week.

Medical Device Sales Reps in Operating Rooms A Routine Practice

Why are medical device sales representatives in the operating room during an operation? Is it really necessary? Read to know more.

beckerlaw.com

hospitals are trying to phase them out, training their own staff etc to save on costs.

I didn't have a web link but I had zero reason to believe the guy was lying to me. This was a while ago. Like 99-08 somewhere in there.

Red Dawn the movie opened 42 years ago day, and I remember it being new.

That's crazy. I was only 9 or 10 when I first saw it then.

It actually explains a lot about me.

Goatface · Tuesday at 8:03 PM

there was a girl a bit older than me that got knocked up and married in 7th grade. she could have celebrated her second anniversary before this movie came out. apparently that was legal until 2010's.

Okay guys, I know I'm getting old, and I am not one to buy gadgets for health stuff, but I just got one of these:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JB64T9Z?lv=shuf&aa_adgroupid=wyrd_c8b977eb7d81868_5&gad_campaignid=23830286079&gclid=CjwKCAjw1vXTBhB-EiwAEKr_k6gRagsS0AJhXz5ftwcNas8rtRDDdw673FcFAebK_dT94LfE32VVbBoCf48QAvD_BwE&maas=maas_adg_api_576874274134034594_static_9_171&gbraid=0AAAAA-zc5WGlTIGAnzx764FF_TLQZda87&aa_campaignid=wyrd_cd0e08f37b4a276_5&aa_creativeid=wyrd_62b25cbae295235_5&channelId=500&ref_=aa_maas&plpRedirect=mhFallback&th=1

And holy shit. You can use it on all your muscle groups (probably not enjoyable on the dong). I've been giving both my hips about 5 minutes of pounding, and my wife has been giving my back and shoulders about ten minutes. After just a few days of doing this I'm substantially less stiff. My hips are less creaky getting up and down. I don't know if there's actually any medical value in this, but a friend of mine is a physiotherapist and he says these things are totally worth it.

Not sure I want to click that link. You’re probably a hacker.
Assuming Theragun of some kind? They’re pretty sweet.

It's a "handheld massager"

I'm guessing he found it under the bed and his wife thought quick and said it was for him.

Just buy the attachments, and modify them to fit on a reciprocating saw.

Which attachment feels the most like an actual blowjob?

asked my physical therapist about massage guns today, he said they work very well for certain things, but bad if used in wrong spots. my issue is my shoulder and said it would bruise if used on it, but going to try it next visit on the muscles around it and see if that helps any.

anyone have a TENS unit? there are lot more brands and styles out now. want to get one, but not had to time/energy to do the research

(Operating on poor sleep)
I have had a few. They seem to work well, but may take some time while you experiment with them.
I'd start slow. Like, where you can feel it just a little.
Wires will get caught on stuff, it just happens. Feel free to curse every time it happens.
If you can get the wires stable enough, you can run it for an hour while you're sleeping.
Once you get used to it, start buying more pads since the adhesive will wear out and you'll want replacements.
Hope this helps.
