O2 tanks require certification. You need a face to face with a pulmonary doctor (usually), a PFT and a 6 minute walk at the very least. They can only take oxygen via doctors orders to discontinue or inability to recert. You cant just call any old o2 company and request them.

But trust me... it's been tried.

Because you can get all the attention you need with a wheelchair and you don't have to throw yourself on the ground and flail around?

well i guess that works but it makes me sad for the wheelchair users who have seizures and need assistance why cant they just be happy in a tard helmet and a pet dog and maybe a gait trainer

Likely because they're psychogenic in origin. When I worked the ED, we had, like, at least one seizure faker every night. SoC is Ativan and I guess that's what they wanted.

In unrelated news, this made me laugh because I am a horrible person

A 32-year-old medical secretary became hypokalemic after she had begun taking a liquid protein diet. She was given slow-release potassium chloride for this, and subsequently used the medication indiscriminately whenever she felt weak or tired. One evening diarrhea developed; she said she had taken "a lot of potassium pills." She was told that the diarrhea probably resulted from potassium chloride, to take no more pills, and that the diarrhea would probably remove the excess potassium. She was found dead the next morning.

No, this is legitimately hilarious and I can only hope my own eventual demise ends up in such a gem of a case report. I need to know the rest of the story though! Did she really take enough potassium to kill herself?

 

[Casket Base]

Quick Ophelia update since she's too sickly for a deskjob she has plenty of time and spoons for twitter


Hates blood tests but signs up to get more as soon as someone suggests she could have health complications


vagueposting for sympathy asspats

Yeah, she did. It's likely that she knew what she was doing since she worked in medicine and this is how most nurses kill themselves.

Except not with ingesting slow-K. I didn't even know you could do that, actually, not without some sort of preexisting kidney disease, since normally you'd excrete that shit out as fast as you took it in.

Looking at the report, she took around 25g of KCl. Yeah I'm gonna guess that's enough to get to go see the pearly gates.

Nina Jean is using her very necessary powerchair that she had to self-fund because she doesn't need it to... open beer.



Edit:

Heather posted this on facebook about me doxxxxxing her. Lol at claiming her son got friend requests.

Lol all I said bout her son was he plays sax well. I didn't mention his name, age, or how I know that. I doubt he got an abundance of friend requests.

Did you cross post that to reddit or does she still think this is also reddit?

 

[ZapThePickle]

Jesus fuck....been reading here for a while I don't understand how these people can do this shit to themselves...


Like feeding tubes, iv lines, pics, and all that other shit...how the fuck do they function?? Power leveling slightly...I can hardly remember to take two meds a day and these twats are practically performing open heart surgery on themselves!


How many have killed themselves botching their "daily I am soooo sickkkk routine"

Well... there’s Jacquie. She’s playing dead right now.

 

[Crimewatcher 44]

I'm not a medical professional, but if they actually took all the meds they're prescribed without having the condishuns they're meant to treat, it would kill them pretty efficiently, no?

Nope. Lots of medications are prescribed "off label" for conditions they weren't meant to treat, and the patients don't die. You also have people who are misdiagnosed and take medicine they don't need for the misdiagnosed condition, and it doesn't kill them.

 

[Maxie]

How many of the massive amount of meds they take are for side effects of meds they don't need in the first place?

 

[Anon666]

I’d assume quite a lot. And not just for the side effects of the medication, but all of those procedures tend to beget more problems. I cannot get why the attention of being sick is good enough to endure the pain of many of these procedures.... but at least I’m entertained.

Sarah-Jean posted a video yesterday. She went to get an EMG test. Basically, her test results were normal.

Still thinks this is also Reddit or at least that I am an agent of those subreddits.

All i can get out of this was it took her almost 25 seconds to do the math to determine her blood pressure was nearly normal and being disappointed her phone had to be turned ORF during the test, so she couldn't vlog it.
I've never seen anyone so spectacularly bad at whatever the fuck she's trying to do, unless I've missed someone.

 

[yomamamasofat]

me mong but how do wheelchairs prevent seizures ?

They don't. If someone has actual seizures, a chair won't make the slightest difference. They can make the person having them safer in that they don't fall, but that's about it. Most people with seizures won't use a chair unless they have another condition which means they need to or have extremely severe seizures that puts them in danger.

 

[Moby Dork]

The saddest part of her whole story is that she hasn't been able to afford new glasses since 1985. Or are they back in style again? I don't know...

They look like Jeffrey Dahmer glasses.
