#c.diff

Also, stop asking for antibiotics for things that they won't help or taking them when you do not need them. It's one thing to get a script for doxy-prep or for skin issues from your dermatologist. It's another thing to ask for them for colds, COVID, or other issues that antibiotics won't help at all.

As someone who had C. diff and was terribly sick from it FOR A MONTH in 2012 and still has tummy troubles, please listen to all this advice. You do not want it, I promise you.

Remember kids! NEVER save left-over antibiotics! You should never have leftover antibiotics, because you have to finish the whole course! Not doing so, or giving your antibiotics to someone else who hasn’t been prescribed them is how we got superbugs, that are resistant to antibiotics! 

ALWAYS finish your antibiotics, even if you don’t think you’re sick anymore! NEVER give your antibiotics to other people, there is no guaruntee they will have any effect, or the same effect, and without a full course, will not help them even if it is the right medicine for the job. 

BOTH cases result in resistant superbugs, which are dangerous to everyone, and hurt everyone. You might think you’re helping your poorer friends who cannot afford an antibiotic/to be seen by a doctor, but you’re not. You’re just hurting everyone.

Where a disease is permanently circulating, mitigation must be permanent.

Government Executive - OMB leader defends administration’s approach to telework House Republicans continued to demand better data from the Biden administration regarding the prevalence and effectiveness of telework at federal agencies. APRIL 30, 2024 “At the onset of the COVID pandemic, massive federal employee telework was a justifiable necessity, but that necessity ended a long time ago,” Comer said. “Yet massive telework continues under the Biden administration, which is intent on making it a permanent fixture of federal work life. How do we know this is in the best interest of the public? The only data we’ve seen on that is a survey of federal employees themselves, and they think it’s working great.” Miller said his office is working with federal agencies to collect the data required by Congress in its most recent spending agreement, but noted that, when including the around 50% of federal employees with no access to telework, 80% of the federal workforce is working in-person on any given day.

C.difficile is endemic in many nursing homes and hospitals, so should we stop hand washing because c.diff and flu are here to stay? Nonsense. Endemic disease pretty much means PERMANENT infection controls. Where malaria is endemic, they don’t stop using mosquito nets —the use of mosquito nets is standard — and sometimes mandated in hotels in malaria endemic regions.

✨Ulcerative coltis/C.Diff meal✨

For 1 c rice, I used about 2 c chicken bone broth with 1 1/2 tbsp ghee. Don't forget the bay leaf. When the rice is done, I added salt, 2 tbsp lime juice and 1 c chopped cilantro and then topped with umeboshi. You can get umeboshi at asian store but check the ingredients for your triggers. My mom made this batch using apricots 💕

It's low fodmap and the umeboshi is fermented. Flare ups suck and you know how to take care of yourself better than anyone. Hope this recipe helps or gives an idea/suggestion to those who could use it.

I HATE CLINDAMYCIN. did you know you can’t lie down for 30 minutes after taking it or it causes esophageal damage. They don’t necessarily tell you this and have previously suffered the consequences

Major Tune-up - Day 3

April 20, 2018 Den is still in the hospital. At 4AM, the nurse took all his vital signs: Weight – 293.7# w/o his batteries MAP – 74 O2 Saturation – 90% on room air His LVAD stats were: Speed – 5200, PI 3.7, Flow 4.5 She also changed his IV site, since it was leaking badly. It’s now in his upper right forearm. I took the opportunity to order all of Den’s meals for the day. The food service…

chubbyemu's newest medical monday vid was a real twist. i couldnt stand the part abt the chipped tooth, hate teeth stuff

Season 3 what I know so far, not based on leaks but based on Sam haft and Vivs social media habits. Which spoil the show far more than leaks ever do.

- Vivs insta: stolas sings a song called “Dirty Bird”

- wiki page: sam haft wrote a song entirely about sex in season 3 designed to turn the audience on (ew)

- stolas sings a song with Vassago

Doing a little deduction work I think these could all be the same song.

And in case you were wondering what the plot of season 3 is let me save you some time:

@ DaniDraws666 on Twitter says:

“Stolas realises he doesn’t love vassago, he loves the attention blitz never gave him!!” And he reunites wit blitz in a *twist.*

Reply by Viv: “🤭”

Fizzozzie get married and this somehow solves the race war?

There’s apparently a fan comic or animatic where Octavia helps comfort blitz about his jealousy of vassago and she helps set him back up with her dad. There’s also a Shrek stolitz animatic where blitz gets between stolas and an unnamed bird guy. Viv will probably just take these ideas.

In short, this all sounds like dogshit.

That's not just dogshit, that's some advanced dogshit. That's c.diff liquid dogshit right there.

Hey guys I'm currently having a horrible time with my second C.Diff infection. I've had to miss a lot of work and my Dr. today told me I had to miss more, so I am out til the 3rd. I'm hoping after my next appointment I'm okay and C.Diff free, but in the mean time I'm absolutely fucked financially. If you're interested in a commission at all I am offering the following at the moment (will have some examples at the very bottom of the post): doodle/sketch commissions - $15 (bust) | $20 (half body) | $30 (fullbody) +$5 per character lined + flats commissions - $20 (bust) | $35 (half body) | $45 (full body) +$15 per character Rendered commissions - $40 (bust) | $50 (half body) | $60 (full body) +$25 per character I can do original characters or fandom stuff. Furry characters are fine. Mecha characters depends on the design and whether I feel confident in pulling it off. If you're interested hit me up on here in DMs and if you're not interested but would still like to help my Paypal/Venmo/Cashapp is below. Thanks in advance for sharing the post!

cod dudes with a nurse y/n but make it lowkey realistic: bc lets be real, after a 12 hr shift you do NOT want to hang out with friends, party, or socialize. ur feet hurt from walking and standing all day, your ears are tired from hearing the IV pumps beep all day, and the smell of C.diff makes u want to vomit. nurse y/n just wants to sit down or lay on the couch and be non-verbal... Gaz, price, and rudy are the sweetest. they pick that up real quick after mistakenly asking "hows ur shift" and y/n trauma dumped them for 5 hrs straight. they don't immediately ask for hugs and kisses bc they know u overwhelmed. they just pour u a cup of wine and sit next to you until YOU talk to them first. you lowkey gossip with them on ur day off or randomly be like "omg look at that dude over there next to the parking spot its giving edema". and then theres soap and ghost. Soap is clingy, yall really think hes gonna survive 12hrs of not seeing you? this man was waiting by the door at 7:15 pm. on the dot. wants to hug and kiss you and tell you about his day. but ur just so. fucking. tired. you tried to be as responsive but it always ended up with a tired "mhm". He legit got upset a few times but he'd be a good sport about it tho. eventually he caught on a couple of weeks in and now he just comes and hugs you from behind, kisses ur face, and cuddles you silently (AFTER you throw away ur dirty scrubs and shower. that C.diff smell is yucky yucky). Tells you he appreciates your care and effort for the patients every day :). Ghost.... omgg he said something lowkey offensive to you right after u got home from the worst shift of ur week. and he didnt even know WHAT he said/did, hes kinda bad a picking up ur cues. nurse y/n just turned around slowly, gave him the NASTIEST side eye, and stared at him for a good 2.5 min. This man immediately retreated from ur couch to wherever he was b4 like a hermit going back to its shell lmao. 2 hrs later you find a small written note and ur fave gurl dinner on the dining table.

Alejandro..... this man is SO PROUD of his s/o being a nurse. hes showing you off every chance he gets!!! He takes Nursing week SERIOUSLY. give you massages, spas, gifts, ect. but he doesnt get how tired and overwhelmed you are. you have to physically tell him to stop asking or letting his family asking medical question. "No ale. I will NOT look at auntie's mole on her stomach. when im off the clock im OFF THE CLOCK :("

Valeria threatens to beat up the management for you lol. she hates how you get treated by them sometimes. you didnt get the recognition you deserve. Def bosses her cartel men around to buy you gifts and such. one time she organized a whole day to spoil and pamper you. she gave you her own version of Daisy Award 🥺💞 Konig observes and internally analyzes ur every move. he panics tho. like "OMG she home but she already has a bottle of wine its different from the one she had yesterday.. omg omg she didnt even say hello that means her shifts was extra shitty today.... why is she sipping on the wine for so long and the last sip is longer than all previous sips........" He eventually learned you just need silent company. you were laying on the bed feeling burned out when he came over with some soup, kissed ur hand, and wrapped you in a blanket burrito :).

ah, realistic nurse!y/n. this is a breath of fresh air for me.

they're all trying their best. and honestly, what better pair? they also have an overstimulating, kinda gross (blood and bodily fluids), exhausting career !!

it's a match made in heaven !! (aside from the whole... miscommunication and barely seeing each other thing. but what's a good ship without some gut-wrenching angst?)

[melonlthawne]

Oh dear god I’m in so much pain. If I caught c.diff or a stomach virus from my patient I’m gonna mcfuckint lose it!!!

Send me cheering up baby bart pls. I am in the fetal position in bed

[fleshengine]

Whenever I get sick my body does this really stupid thing where my entire gastrointestinal tract shuts down. I genuinely think the nerve clusters that govern such things have some kind of ptsd from when I got appendicitis/c.diff. But basically I won’t be able to eat no matter how much I want to. I’ll feel hunger, and I’ll have food, but actually eating is so hard that I just can’t do it. The funny part is that I can tell when I start to get better because I start farting a bunch.

[audley-and-cherry]

I've got a little bit of energy (spent the past couple of weeks recovering from gut surgery and a c.diff infection), so I started painting the world's jankiest necron:

He's a metal model from iirc 1996. And I hate him so much. I'm going to use him as a Warrior, I think.

I brushed CreatexColors "decay" on to his legs and his body so far has balthasar gold and retributor armor.

Please notice his sweet unibrow.

I am home in quarantine, doing a lot better! A lot of stressful & painful things happened, but I have to quarantine for at least 2 weeks thanks to c. diff. I will be able to make more art soon, & I apologize for the delay.

I'd like to shout out the medication Dificid for being run by evil people who want to charge hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, for a cure to a highly contagious & dangerous infection. You are dirty, evil bastards.

If you ever get c.diff in USA, request something called "vancomycin hydrochloride" if you don't want to go broke.

(enjoy my dog!)

What a day so far. I got to stay home because of the hurricane and then my rotation preceptor sent a link to do our C.diff topic discussion virtually at 14:00. Me and resident both have portions to present.

Me: excited to do this topic discussion because we’ve been postponing it for 2 weeks

Her at 13:58: reschedules for 15:00

Me: 👁️👄👁️

Me at 15:00: computer freezes. I enter panic attack mode I struggle until 15:10 to get it working. I text the resident to let her know

Resident: “she cancelled it”

Me: 😭

[windsroad]

when I read turtles all the way down I found it like... extremely upsetting and triggering and I did not enjoy the experience at all.. i'm trying to watch the movie now and idk if I'll finish it, but I will say, her obsession with getting c.diff feels less scary to me now that I HAVE had it and I did not die. it did fuck me up real good though

[extraordinaryandroid]

sometimes i remember i got into this game bc i was sick with c.diff. and i'm pretty sure that's a commentary on the quality of cage games
