Carlos Motherfucking Sainz
This man. I cannot. Also, these men also keep putting my love of nursing and my love of F1 together so let's get into it! How did Carlos Sainz manage to win 2 weeks after having an appendectomy?
In the UK, at least, you can leave the hospital the same day you've have an appendectomy as long as there are no complications as long is it was done laparoscopically and there were no complications (burst appendix etc)
Carlos had his appendix removed laparoscopically (which I predicted considering how quickly he was back at the paddock to watch the Grand Prix!) you can tell by the incisions - 3 small ones for the camera and tools rather than one long incision for an open appendectomy.
Usually after an appendectomy you can go back to work after 1-2 weeks. IF YOU HAVE A NON-PHYSICAL JOB. We know this man was back training and strengthening as soon as he could. You can usually start to work out after 2 weeks, depending on wound healing. Those sit ups would have been agony!
That alone would have had him in a lot of pain, let alone the amount of g-force the drivers encounter when they're driving around the circuits - up to 5G in some cases. That's 5x their body weight.
On his latest Instagram post you can see him in a weird glass tube - this presumably is a hyperbaric chamber. There are multiple studies investigating the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the speedier healing of surgical wounds and reduction of post-operative infection.
In short, this type of therapy can reduce inflammation and boost the formation of white blood cells (the cells that protect the body against infection and defend it from attack of unknown organisms) to improve healing and lower the risk of infection.
Overall, we know he wouldn't have been able to drive unless he was safe to and he said himself they made sure he could get out of his car in the required time and padded his wound and made adjustments to ensure his comfort but you could see the pain he was in after and Lando helping onto the podium.
That man deserves his seat.

Heyo! I figured I should probably mention on here that I'm getting surgery done on my dominant wrist tomorrow! I'm gonna probably be less active while I recover- my queue is pretty full with rb's but I don't think I'm gonna do liveblogs or original posts much if it all while my wrist recovers!
I'll probably still be lurking around in the meanwhile though ^u^
#also apologizes for the major activity drip on here in general- I'm still here- I know I don't have to apologize but I still wanted to say#something- just been super busy with work the past 4 days plus needing a break after... well everything#medical talk

I often wonder if Rocket suffers with migraines cause what H.E. did to his brain. Also could see him suffering with seizure cause his brain over firing his neurons. His neurological system get over loaded when he overworks himself. But of course they never show stuff like that in the films. He had one seizure in the GOTG3. My headcanon is Guardian's have had to deal with a couple of seizure from Rocket before
They all keep meds on them when ever Rocket gets Migraine or seizure Cause God knows the Raccoon will have everything but his own meds. Cause he never thinks of his own health.

Idk if anyone care but I do and I can kinda explain: so Hank Green posted a tik tok this morning explaing he has Hodgkins Lymphoma. Lymphoma is a cancer of lymphocytes and Lymph nodes. Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that are essential in body immune response. I could go into more detail on thar if anyone would like.
Anyways lymphomas are generally classified between hodgkins and non-hodgkins. The main differences is that hodgkins favors the upper body usually and also the lymphocytes look like owls kinda and are classified as reed-sternberg cells
Non hodgkins will look abnormal in other ways. (Pictured first) vs a normal lymphocyte (Pictured second)
If hank has the Reed sternberg cells there's therapies developed to target the tumor associated antigens. As well as chemo thay he had mentioned in the video. I'm less familiar with the oncology and therapy side as I work in lab where we mainly monitor conditions via peripheral blood smears and tracking levels of tumor associated antigens and other cancer antigens

Re the blood glucose comment on the last ask: I've been diabetic for over twenty years, and I've wondered whether diabetes exists in Faerûn but only magic works as a temporary fix. So if the party runs out of healing spells and Tav's blood sugar spikes, what if Astarion feeds on her to help bring her blood sugar down? What if he drinks his fill and afterwards it takes less time for her to recover because now her blood sugar is normal instead of low after the blood loss?
But that also opens up opportunities for angst, too. What if her blood sugar's low, but he hasn't eaten in days and she can tell he's trying so hard not to say anything? What if she has an invincibility complex, thinks "I'll be fine," and lets him drink without telling him? What if he can no longer feel her trembling in his arms as he feeds, pulls back, and suddenly realizes just how pale, sweaty, and absolutely frozen she is, practically paralyzed because there's no glucose fueling her ability to move? Grabs Shadowheart to tend to her because his guilt has in turn paralyzed him?
Anyway, I've had some thoughts about this.
Ohhhh bloodletting for hyperglycemia. I can see this being a thing in Faerûn! Definitely a thing between a diabetic Tav and Astarion.
Also I've seen people go into hypoglycemic episodes before, so I can envision exactly what Tav with low glucose would be like.
I once gave a patient an entire amp of D50 for a glucose of like 38 (they were somehow still conscious). Their sugar shot up to like 500ish, only to come back down to 40 like 15 minutes later (this tends to happen with IV glucose; the sugar burns through you so fast because your body is basically starved of it). Nodding out, slurring; the whole nine. I think we found out they gave themselves their regular dose of long acting insulin the night before alongside their reg morning insulin without having eaten breakfast that morning. Shit is scary.
Diabetic Tav seems interesting to play with, though 🤔

Guess who’s doctor actually knows what he’s doing and cares about managing my pain? That’s right it’s mine. He thinks that my fibro being so bad the week before my period might actually be because my endometriosis has adhered to my nerves in my legs and is making it worse when my progesterone levels go up so I’m going to start a birth control that I will take every day and rid myself of a period for as long as I want it gone and I’m so fucking excited

I want very badly to make a comic about my entire experience with endometriosis. I want more people to know how bad it is. 1 in 10 people with a uterus experience it and it is widely ignored and not understood due to prejudices and lack of awareness.
However I am also pretty severely traumatized. This has been the worst experience of my life and I feel like a giant monster of iron and flames ate up 4 years of my life and money and dreams and future. I have a desolate burning landscape to live in.
People don't know how bad it is to be sick in America. They think they are safer than they are. They don't see how if the system decides you are inhuman.
No one helps.
I feel like I went into hell and heard the demons coming for YOU in particular. I left hell losing most of my soul and I desperately want to warn you with all I have left. I want to say "RUN RUN ITS GOING TO GET YOU DONT YOU UNDERSTAND??"
If someone was about to catch on fire
You'd want to warn them right?

Surgery Time (again!) Here comes a long art break!
Hey everyone! Thank y'all so much for supporting me thus far! I wanted to let everyone know that the time has finally arrived for my arm surgery (ulnar nerve decompression specifically). I'll be at the surgeon's office at 6:30am tomorrow. This surgery is gonna put me out of work for at least a month, possibly more, I won't know exactly how long until after the surgery. That being said, I won't have anything interesting to post on Patreon for a while, so I understand if people want to take a break from their pledges. But otherwise, I'll be completely unable to take commissions or draw anything at all for the duration of my recovery, so any support outside of that is most appreciated!
Ways to support me!
Patreon (no art content for a bit): https://www.patreon.com/deer_head_xiris
Buying from my Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/DeerHeadXiris
Subbing to me on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/taurogattal
Getting the Togling base on my Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/s/c66e42c703
Or even just donating if you feel up to it!
This is gonna be a rough little while for me, it’s my second go at this surgery and not being able to work is gonna super suck, but I’m thankful for any support given, even if it’s just boosting my art posts. I’ll keep people updated on my progress after surgery, here’s hoping for a swift and complete recovery!
Also, consider joining my discord server! More direct updates can be found there: https://discord.com/invite/XSEcdvT

I haven’t really posted much here but my sweet boy Pippin ended up having to get emergency surgery this weekend. After a few nights stay at the vet hospital he’s back with us, doing very well! He’s super energetic for a cat that just had a big surgery :,D
But he needs to be watched for 2 weeks until he can get his stitches out so I may not be around too much, as my partner works a full time in person job so it’s down to me to be babysitter ✌️ wish us luck with his recovery!! Things seem to be going well but it’s still the first day
#not sure if this needs a tag? he’s fine so it’s not harm or anything#just a little recovery process#vet made it out to be worse than it is too which I’m relieved about#he literally doesn’t care about the cone and is more concerned with his arm bandage from his IV hahaha#medical talk#THERES a warning tag

Bailey has a brain tumor that’s spreading pretty fast. We’re not going to do radiation or surgery, just maintaining with more seizure medicine. She maybe has a few months left at most so we’re trying to make her as comfortable as possible during her end.
#bailey the golden girl#dog#golden retriever#mixed breed#mutts#medical talk#well fuck#I kind of knew that’s what it was gonna be but I was still hoping it would be dementia or something that would give her more time#she deserves sm better#my poor baby girl
