About to turn 50 and am too tired to continue

Their new logo looks like a party clowns attempt at a shitty balloon giraffe.

I said, DONT GET ME STARTED!

[Touring_Sedan]

It doesn't influence my relationship with them at all.

That's really easy to say as the doctor, a lot harder to convince yourself of as the patient.

[Buzzworthy]

Huskier, let us know how things go. Pulling for ya from down here.

If I'm covering ER and someone I "share drinks with" comes in with a rectal foreign body. I take it out, discharge them, and say nothing. Professional obligation.

.

Ok. I’ve had the little black dog following my whole life

But
Butt
I’ve never had a foreign rectal body.
Yet.
There’s a great story somewhere inside that story.
Should I start shoving things up my ass?

Should I start shoving things up my ass?

Yes, you should. However, put a string on whatever you shove up your ass, wrap the string around your ankle tightly. If you go too deep, just straighten your leg out and said foreign body will rip right out, saving you an embarrassing (for you) visit to me. I will be happy to treat you either way to the best of my ability.

Sure, I agree, but it's still not a conflict of interest or a professional barrier. Is it ideal, probably not, but probably better than seeking care on an online ski forum in a public setting.

But I swear. I slipped in the shower and it damn near rectum’d me.

Not uncommon, watch out for long cylindrical objects hiding on the couch that punch right through demin jeans and go deep. See it all the time. Couches are dangerous.

There is a massive difference between pulling something out of someone’s ass and doing mental health counseling. Not even sure how you could compare them.

And yeah if you live in butt-fuck nowhere you might have to get your therapy from your wife’s maid of honor. But with telehealth that is less and less of a situation these days.

But if you live in a bigger center I can 100% understand why a patient and/or a therapist doesn’t feel comfortable doing therapy if there is also a social connection.

And yeah - you can’t refuse to treat someone who comes into your ER in an emergency* - but there isn’t some duty to care for all comers in non emergency situations where there are multiple providers available.

This is in a general sense - Buzz I’m not directing this at your situation specifically - your wife being in the business is a complicating factor - you likely now know all these great therapists but that adds a potential barrier to you accessing their help.

I can see both points on small town familiarity. Here there are only two (possibly available, but probably not) psychiatrists. They are a married couple that we have know for 25 years, and don’t particularly enjoy talking to socially (which we do a few times a year). Wife also shares a board position with one. Awkward.
Currently I am looking for a very highly qualified person that is licensed in WY, and actually is a Dr.
There are tons and tons of RN’s, etc, but I would like the diplomas for my own needs.
Keep keepin’ on everyone!

You don't understand cynicism, which is fine. Buzz was clearly in crisis mode, surely some professional could have helped him in his wife's "inner circle". I doubt he's eating dinner with them all frequently enough to have any meaningful, significant professional boundary issues to help him navigate when HE'S IN CRISIS MODE POSTING ON THE INTERNET FOR HELP.

Dude had history of pretty valid suicide attempt in 2020, essentially seems hopeless on his post with a lot of language suggesting repeat suicidal ideation, high risk age group/gender.

But yeah, lets not suggest he get immediate consultation from a mental health professional who might know his wife professionally. THAT is a stupid barrier to potentially life saving care.

Navigate the nuances after the crisis has resolved.

an MD bud told me about a patient at VGH who kept putting a shave cream can up his ass and needed to visit Emerg for extraction. This happened more than once and the last time when the Cap came off in there it caused some serious medical complications

I think Coreshot should find a foreign object that is more butt hole friendly

Voice of experience, I see.

Voice of experience from the retrieval end, not the receiving end. That internal anal sphincter has a tendency to not let go of said foreign body and has a tendency to "ingest" said foreign body deeper into the rectum.

Every ER worker knows about the "ankle strap" protocol.

There was a full episode on this season's Curb Your Enthusiasm related to therapy from someone in your social circle. Funny and can easily see why this would be a conflict.

Page 10 before becoming typical TGR, record?

As far as professional help, “get in where you fit in” is what I apply to myself. I have worked with three people in the last 8 years. I shopped a lot. I really like my current person. They are in person and tele depending on what works for me for that time. They don’t take my insurance, but my HRA Visa works there.

I would get started with someone in my social circle and then be upfront that I wanted recommendations for someone outside. Just an idea.

I think this maybe fits here?

A bit of thread drift and adding some levity, I once helped a surgeon remove a Costco sized bottle of acetaminophen from some dude’s asshole. It took some wrangling and general anesthesia but we got it out. He handed to me once it was retrieved and I looked at it and it was still sealed, I gave it a shake and said “Should we give it back to him”.

Yes. We’re all old teenagers. The thread drift and levity is what keeps us going.


Excuse me while I (shove something up my anus?)
