I'm sitting here sighing loudly and tweeting my final words. Doc, make sure my parents get my "you definitely have special pooners disease" results from the buzzfeed test I took online.
95% is on the lower end of normal. It's the sort of reading you might get if-- purely hypothetically here-- some fat malingerer held her breath for a little bit but was too weak to actually experience the discomfort required to do anything more dramatic.
Oh to be a fly on the wall when she explains to the big meanie doctors that she's actually breathing with her back and neck muscles. How many years at college and she still hasn't fit in a semester of AnatPhys I?
Hell, just the coldness of some hospitals will make your circulation show 94-96ish %. Cold hands affect its sensitivity too.
The munchies with Raynauds (incredibly common in women) love it because it gives an artificially low reading if you use a finger pulse ox. Vicky's playing in the little leagues here. Come back when you're claiming you're at 50% oxygen but still magically able to tweet, Vic. That's how you munch.
Yep, not to PL but I have Raynauds. My hands and feet are as cold as death. Difference is I know that and will just attempt to warm my hand under the blanket/my hoodie sleeve etc.
Health is a gift from God, so it's a little MATI-inducing to see Vicky wish herself sick so often.
Prepare yourself for disappointment.
She’s the kind of lazy munchie wannabe that I could see wanting to end up in LTC - getting a roof over her head, carers to dote on her, never having to do anything for herself again.
Even if we ignore the fact that any minuscule discomfort is her kryptonite, her parents have on numerous occasions offered to pay for a care home, a nice one, where nurses actually do dote on you. She screeched and raged and threatened to cut contact every time. And the one time she was in some rehab of sorts she ran away. She doesn't want to be that kind of sick that fucks with one's abillity to be a gross Neet. Anywhere that has daily scheduled activities and dietary restrictions and nurses monitoring your screen time isn't going to work for her.
You know what, I’m gonna go out on a limb here and suggest she’s lying.
Same here. And I know people will smirk that it's "rich people insurance" and greed but I don't necessarily think so. I've seen plenty of actually ill people with fantastic insurance get their complaints downplayed. And affluent cancer patients yeeted as fast as possible after surgery. How the hell is she getting to hog a bed on med/surg for a whole week? How is she getting all these ridiculous tests, especially when they keep coming back negative? Is it possible she isn't really in a hospital at all, but is narrating a bizarre Walter Mitty fantasy from a Marriott somewhere?
Victoria's George Floyd arc will be entertaining.
