advice rule
(files.ohai.social)
I've had some... Interesting friends in my life, and my advice to all of them has been: tell the police nothing, and the medics everything
This is very good advice, especially if someone has taken drugs. Please tell us. The medicine I give for chest pain can kill someone if they’re having that pain from doing a ton of cocaine and not a possible heart attack.
After the first time someone went into cardiac arrest after I started treating them after telling me they didn’t use any drugs or alcohol today - I followed up found out he survived but had in fact taken a ton of cocaine today, I’ve changed my wording to “Have you taken any drugs or alcohol recently? It’s okay if you have I’m not a cop but if you have it changes which medicine I can safely give you.”
It's so wild the wrong ideas that float around about cops and medical personnel. "If you're a cop you have to tell me" and "if I tell them I did drugs they have to tell the cops"
I really do tell all the interesting people in my life "tell cops nothing, medics everything" and it's saved a few butts. My mom is the one who initially told me that. She doesn't necessarily approve of drug use, but made it clear to us growing up that if we ever did something and had to go to the doctor, we needed to tell them everything, and they would always keep our secret, but always lie about it to the cops if they were involved. I love my mom. Lol. She's awesome.
Based mom 🙏
nah, those workers need some good stories to tell
That's exactly why it needs to be something you are willing to explain. It makes their stories better.
I will neither be kink-shamed nor stop living my life.
Eyy it's my school town!
I can definitely see why they put that up..
But if you did, DON'T LIE TO the PARAMEDICS!
"Nevermind what I was doing, just get it out of my ass!"
That means I can do anything then
Would that hypothetically preclude me from shoving stuff up my ass?
If what you’d be embarrassed to tell the paramedics is "I shoved stuff without a flared base up my ass" then yes. Never skip the flared base!
That depends
It's okay to have a giant zucchini stuck in your rectum.
No explanation required for that one.
"So I wanted to reenact the fall of Yugoslavia"
rule doesn't apply around the holidays
Yes it does.
You never have to explain to family what you broke. You do have to explain it to the guy scraping your ass off the pavement so they find all your pieces.
I don't think paramedics would ask too many questions anyway.
there's very little we haven't seen
One time i took my gf high into the mountains next to a thousand foot cliff, and we put a blanket down and...
We didn't die! No regrets 😌
Never thought I would See a Guelph meme but here we are!
