I think Dr. doing the surgery makes a lot of difference.My stepson had them out when he was about 12,was in misery for 7-8 days then started bleeding and had to be cauterized.
My 3 grandsons all had theirs done by Dr. Webb in Ellick,It was amazing how little pain they had and how fast they recovered compared to what their dad went through.
All were done with laser.
I had mine out when I was 14 the old way with the snare and a few stitches.It was the day before Thanksgiving.Thur. night I was eating turkey and dressing.Everybody had told me how awful it was going to be,
Stock up on Gatorade(not red),doesn’t burn when going down throat.

Well,guess you can sit there admiring your $ 2000.00 + shotgun cause you ain’t going to see any ducks.

Cigar snobs.
The act of getting a cigar out of their humidor,cutting off the tip,light it up,inhale and get this look of ecstasy.lean back in their chair like they’re some kind of potentate.
Damn things stink
Dtr-in-law’s dad is a cigar snob.Also a pseudo-intellectual snob which makes him particularly annoying.

“ I thought the new guidance was not to use this method any longer”
You’re right,peroxide is a no-no and has been for a very one time.Peroxide is toxic to tissue ,does more harm than good.Slows down heaiing process and increases scarring.
Back to the Dachsunds.A,friend had one that he used for blood trailing deer.Dog was very good at finding deer that had run off,found quite a few deer for different people.
When he found a deer he was super protective of “his” deer and would attack anyone that tried to touch it,including his owner.
My friend brought welding gloves with him when they went looking for a deer,that was after he got bitten a couple of times.

“Nursing shortages will be a thing of the past with 24/7 robotics”
Anyone says this has obviously never worked as a nurse.People have no idea of the myriad of issues nurses have to deal with,esp.in Crtical Care settings,be it Surgical,Medical,Cardiac or Neuro ICUs.I’d like to see a robot that could deal with a confused pt.trying to get out of bed,pulling out their IV and /or Art line,NG tube and/or urinary catheters.Significant numbers of pts
are confused,or right on the edge be it from their age,lack of uninterrupted sleep,pain meds, their specific disease or injury or a combination of all of the above.The nurse has to get the pt.under control,apply or reapply restraints,reinsert IVs,and any tubes that may have been pulled out.Then change the sheets and clean up the mess such as blood,urine if they pull out their catheter,stomach contents if they pull out their NG tubes.
Pts on a diet need help with their meal trays,some have to be fed.Blood sugars have to be checked,dressings have to be changed.
I could see robots being helpful for turning pts or pulling them up in bed.Pt weights have increased exponentially last 30 years.Before about 1995 300 lb pts were uncommon,started seeiing a few,from 2000 until 2010 the numbers of 300- 400 lb’ers exploded,even occasional 500 lb’er.
That is a factor in the nursing shortages,I saw a lot of smart nurses quit due to injuries or the fact they couldn’t physically handle it.

Trackers in fillings.My initial reaction is that’s bullshite.But then thinking about what the Israelis did with the exploding pagers,I’m not so sure that it isn’t true.
The exploding pagers was brilliant.I can only imagine the outrage of the Iranian despots when Israel pulled that off.

re: How to tell kids that it's time to put the family dog down?
Posted by LSUA 75 on 2/27/26 at 12:03 pm to SallysHuman
I wouldn’t tell her you’re going to put the dog to sleep.Take it when she’s at school or somewhere.Tell her the dog was sick,you took it to the vet but they weren’t able to save it.Just like old people get sick,go to hospital but Drs aren’t able to save them.
I would also explain the dog was very old for a dog and just like old people there comes a time for them to die.
Get a new puppy and she’ll be fine.

Grandparent here.I’m a retired R.N.,wife is a N.P working part time.
17 year old grandson expressing interest in nursing.I’m talking up becoming
echocardiogram technician.Much better job,IMO.Decent pay,don’t work nights,weekends or holidays( would be on rotating call).Don’t have to deal with bedpans,diarrhea and all the other unpleasntries nurses have to deal with.
Very interesting job,I always liked to watch them doing scans when I was able.
I can very well see AI doing interpretation of the scans rather than a cardiologist but I think it will always require a human to actually do the echo.
PA would also be a good field.

Delta Force baws aren’t glory hounds like the Navy Seals.I doubt a Delta Force operator would even admit to being an operator if questioned.
SEALS on the other hand put themselvs out there at every opportunity.

House was just finished in 2022,I wonder why he wants to sell it now. He obviously put a lot of thought and energy into how he wanted it built,all the amenities,etc.
Doesn’t compute in my mind.

When I was growing up Catholic we couldn’t eat meat any Fridays,all year long.
Wasn’t a sacrifice for me,I like seafood of any kind.I don’t remember ever getting a steak in a restaurant,I always get shrimp.

“ Upper back pain that can radiate down to the arm,even make my hand tingle”
That sounds like neck,specifically C3-C4. My wife went through an episode of same symptoms,actually worse.Her L arm and hand were very weak besides tingling.Had severe upper back pain,trapezius muscle.
What caused her problems was working in a cath lab,wearing a 40 lb lead apron and neck bent looking down on pts. lying on the table for hours .She saw a neurosurgeon,he told her no more cath lab and hopefully her problem would resolve.It got better fairly quickly after she quit,regained strength in her hand and arm.At it’s worst she couldn’t hold 5 lbs.
I personally think chiropractors are a waste of time and money.
I sure as hell wouldn’t let one “crack” my neck,can cause a vertebral artery dissection.
