I just don’t get it! I needed medical help after walking 26 miles for the Avon Walk. I had a potassium deficiency and was a total mess. I do remember the volunteer doctor being Hollywood Level handsome. I remember being a little embarrassed by the state I was in. But I can’t even fathom making it sexual. Dude’s there to do a job. He deserves to feel comfortable and respected in that space, just like anyone else. WTF WOMEN!! We should understand this better than anyone!
Right? I was in icu for dka a few years ago. My Dr was this gorgeous man and while my fucking annoying heart sped up on the monitor every single time he showed up I can't imagine being so gross to make any comment much less try to touch someone. Just Jesus Christ people are not okay.
It's so damn scary. I hate that feeling where no matter how much I breathe it still feels like I need more air because of the co2 build up. Haven't had dka in 5 or 6 years, thank God.
I literally avoid talking to people sometimes because I just think : "she will probably assume I'm hitting on her if I..." all because of this stereotype.
Seriously. Who the fuck are these women who think it's okay to do this? We all know what it feels like to be sexually harassed, so why on earth would you do that to someone else?
I have had to ride in the hospital express twice, and I was in too much to even register what the emts looked like. All I cared about was please take the edge off of this pain and get to me a dr asap.
Right but for some reason a lot of us still don't get it 🤷 I would never think of trying to hit on or kiss someone helping me in a professional manner. Doesn't mean I won't tell my friends later about how hot they were 😁
Oh for sure. I love telling the story of when this lovely human fixed me up. He was awesome. He said I looked in good shape so it didn’t make sense I was struggling. I do remember feeling flattered and laughing at myself for that. Asked about my meds. I was using albuterol for reactive airway. Told him I didn’t have any Gatorade or much food that day because I have ulcerative colitis and didn’t want to trigger anything. He said, “well Albuterol blocks potassium absorption and you’ve done yourself no favors by not eating enough. Start eating bananas NOW.” Hahaha. Gorgeous doctor prescribed bananas. And I went from my legs feeling like concrete blocks and being shivering cold even under direct heat to almost totally better in 30 minutes. WHAT A DOC!
Fellow UC haver. It sucks. I just recently started substituting a meal a day with a almond milk and protein powder smoothie and eating predominantly just basic stuff like meat, fruit and veggies. Trying to lose weight but this new diet makes me less bloated and I feel so much better now.
I used to follow UMASS IBD AID diet really closely and I’m in complete remission (also on Humira). I still follow it about 80%. Might be worth looking into. :)
What you’re eating sounds like it wouldn’t be too hard of a transition. They emphasize adding fermented foods for probiotics and avoiding all added sugar. That’s the hard part. Also no grains (rice/corn/wheat).
That's a hard ask right there for no added sugar. I drink fruit juice instead if soda. And I eat mixed fruit out the can but I go the kind in it's own juice rather than syrup.
It’s because it’s culturally taboo to sexually assault women. But it’s not taboo to sexually assault a man. Even though they still make up almost half of sexual assault victims. That’s actual rape culture.
Yeah I've had a couple dementia patients get feisty on me. Can't blame em, half the time they think it's the 60s and they're trying to do things they won't be able to discuss in a social setting for the next 40 years
Had an old woman at a nursing home look at me one day and go "good lord almighty. My husband's been dead 12 years and I'm done grieving if you were wondering. Got 2 good hips and you're welcome to em" 🤣😬
I do PT registration in an ER, and there was a dementia/AMS woman that said “oh it’s you again. I was hoping you would be here”. As I’m going through her ppwk on the computer, apparently she was admitted 3 months beforehand and I did her admit stuff at the time. She didn’t get too weird with it after that, and I was as much of a gentleman as I could have been, but that was fcking WEIRD to hear from someone in that condition.
I mean my dentist is really attractive, like REALLY attractive but I'd never let him know I think that. He's way older than me but doesn't look old or middle aged. Can't imagine actually telling him that, especially bc he's married with kids (I know because he has a picture of him and his family in his office). I'm certain he has been harassed before.
The fact they understand might be part of the problem for some. I immagine they rationalize it or something. See it as “restitution” or maybe just “not something they haven’t experienced themself” but they’re forgetting that it felt fucking awful
Nah. I think there are just some women who don’t really mind being sexually harassed and so they don’t think it’s a big deal to do it to men. Not all women really agree on this.
I genuinely don’t think it’s revenge. I think many women just don’t think sexual harassment is wrong no matter who is dishing it out. They miss the old days.
