TSK: Swimmer’s ear - A tale in 4 acts.

[cranquis]

10-year-old patient: My ear hurts after swimming last week.

ENT: Have some Ciprodex drops.

–

Mom: Those drops are too expensive.

ENT: Switch to Cortisporin [weakest but cheapest otic abx drop]

–

Mom: Her ear is still hurting the next day.

ENT: Switch to oral cipro and oral prednisone and add tylenol with codeine at adult dosing for pain control. [?!]

–

Mom: We can’t afford all those medications and I’m worried about using those oral medications in my child.

Cranquis: Hey we can use cipro eye drops for outer ear infections, it costs $8… and her pain is responding nicely to ibuprofen, so let’s stop all the oral prescriptions!

Mom: Cool cool.

ENT:

@willow-wanderings reblog tags on this post had one of the nicest compliments towards physicians that I’ve ever seen:

#knowing doctors have to deal with shit like this #is why i try desperately not to argue with my doc too much #he knows my funds are tight and will straight up tell me #‘we could fix that in ten minutes if you had a spare $400 to burn but you don’t so we’re gonna do the $10 option that takes 3 months to work #am i’m like yup perfect plan lets do that #i mean doctors aren’t perfect and need feedback to do their jobs well #but also they spend an extra decade in school specifically to do this shit #if a dude speedruns a marathon for your benefit #you don’t bitch about having to take a single step to meet them halfway

If a rule-laywer’s debate goes on too long, achive victory by grabbing the core rulebook and effortlessly snapping it in half with your bare hands.

Shout out to my 80-something health risk assessment patient today. It came up that I was in the LGBTQ community (he saw my ace ring and, thinking it was a wedding ring, asked if I was married), and he said how much he wanted to be able to ask an LGBTQ person questions, because he’d read a lot about it but had never met someone who was LGBTQ in person. I volunteered that I was also trans and had a few minutes if he wanted to know anything. 

He asked the most respectful questions I’ve ever been asked. They were incredibly personal but the way he did it was with such absolutely genuine curiosity- he really, really wanted to know and understand how transition and asexuality worked. I’m so glad I had the few minutes to talk to him and hopefully give him information he can use or at least think about.

Truly it is incredibly inconvenient how you have to write your stories if you want to read them

[shitty-check-please-aus]

unless I come up with a series of words that form a series of sentences, I’m not going to read this story and nobody else is either and this is truly rude of the universe to work this way

if you choose to believe that in hobbit culture fat = sexy then when Gollum called Sam a ‘stupid fat hobbit’ from Sam’s perspective he was basically being called a himbo.

[penny-anna]

what gollum said: stupid fat hobbit

what gollum meant: ur ugly and stupid

what sam heard: you’re a hottie but you’re dumb as shit
