I’ve always kind of thought the stories of “I left the gas stove on overnight but I woke up with a weird feeling and turned it off just in time, it must have been a guardian angel” were a little weird but likely had some rational explanation. Now that I have experienced prolonged carbon monoxide poisoning though, I am confident I have a grasp on the science of what’s going on. Granted this is anecdotal, but if there’s a difference in atmospheric pressures, humans can typically sense it, even if you don’t really know what it is or why you have the feeling. Going down a mountain for example, your ears pop to acclimatize to the difference in pressures, but I know people who get migraines when storms are rolling or their joints start to act up. It doesn’t really matter how a person detects pressure changes, the point is that is uncomfortable enough that you notice.

What carbon monoxide poisoning feels like in the early stages is that pressure in your head just before your ears are ready to pop, almost like having a head cold. That’s a feeling you notice, and any light sleepers out there probably know the feeling of waking up on a plane as it’s landing. How can you tell it’s landing? Your ears go funny. That’s exactly why I would argue that there are no guardian angels at play when a person wakes up while being carbon monoxide’d or otherwise attacked by toxic gasses. Fundamentally we are upright apes who needed to be able to detect anything hinky going on for the sake of survival; loud noises can wake us up, light can wake us up, pain can wake us up, so I don’t see it as much of a stretch that a difference in pressure can wake us up too. I’m not even trying to be an edgy atheist by saying this, I just think it’s so incredibly cool that our self preservation instincts can wake us up and subconsciously go through a flow chart of possible reasons for increased pressure in our heads, determine none of the expected instances are happening, and then make the decision in a heartbeat to get the hell out of dodge.

The dog went in to be neutered and the vet took a picture of the dog and sent it to his owner as soon as he woke up.

A small tribute to one of my favorite musical artists, Crywolf.

I went to a concert of his some years ago with friends and was absolutely blown away. His stage presence is pretty undeniable for a smaller artist, and the vibes of his music are fucking immaculate. I enjoyed working on this piece, a reference of one of his posted images combined with some implication of a skull. A lot of his album art is also stylized in interesting ways.

commissions are currently open!

ranking the best things I have heard surgeons say mid-surgery:

1. "Five second rule!" while scrubbed, after dropping a sterile scalpel on the floor (no they did NOT pick it up again but I swear everyone's buttholes puckered)

2. (spoken during the closing of a particularly long and difficult case) "Nurse - my tunes." :heavy metal starts blasting:

3. Gently to a fretful patient, pre-anaesthesia: "It's going to be okay. I promise, I've dealt with worse." As soon as the patient is unconscious: "This is literally the worst thing I've ever seen."

4. [okay this one was a med student] "Wowwww, that's so gross!!" Reg: "Please remember that [patient] is awake for this procedure." Student to patient: "Oh my god. I am so sorry, that was really unprofessional - " Patient, cheerfully, also engrossed with what's happening inside them on the screen: "Nah - it's, like, super gross, right?"

5. [another procedure where the patient couldn't be put under GA] Patient: *starts singing country roads midway through the procedure* Surgeon: *shrugs and joins in with surprisingly good harmony*

(guy who isnt beating the ocd voice) i know! maybe if i spend all night ruminating on something i feel guilty about until i’ve considered it from every possible angle and made myself physically ill, then i can finally forgive myself and i’ll feel better! 99% of morally abhorrent people stop self punishing right before they’re Absolved
