The anti🚫-derailment🚃 & thread🧵 hijacking🔫 thread🧵 ⁉

@invalid_signal

I was recently hospitalized

Get well soon! I’m pretty sure that every 'borg on the forum wishes you a speedy recovery!

@invalid_signal

Perhaps they thought I came from that one thread and thought about taking me to the 4th floor.

Sounds like an awkward and scary situation.

@invalid_signal

I didn’t meet one medical professional that wasn’t curious, they all seemed to think it was pretty neat.

Nice!

@invalid_signal

I did want to share the radiologist’s findings though that I got a small laugh from.

“Presumed surgically placed” No shit Sherlock! How else are you going to get RFID implants? These are very different from shrapnel.

However, those must’ve confused the radiologist. Chances are that this was the first time that they encountered these devices.

If you open a ticket with an order number we’ll send you an MR card for your x-series chips

Thank you! I’m already on the mend. Got a few months before I’m back to before!

@enginerd

Sounds like an awkward and scary situation.

With blinkie and magnet demonstrations, i wasn’t worried. The ortho wanted an MRI of my fractured vertebrae to decide if surgery was needed. Radiologists said we’re not comfortable given his statements of metal in his hands so let’s xray first.
Thankfully surgery was not needed!

@enginerd

"Presumed surgically placed” No shit Sherlock!

Yeah! That gave me a good smile in the hospital lol

@enginerd

Chances are that this was the first time that they encountered these devices.

I think i remember one person from the trauma and ortho teams had heard about it, everyone else was surprised.

Lol thank you! Unfortunately the magnets still disqualify me for MRIs

[Not]

That may be true, but in a situation where an MRI is pretty much a 100% needed and you need to remove the magnets, it (helps) prevent doctors from going “Yeah I want that xMagic gone too”.

Plus hey, the card(s) are free.

@Not

it (helps) prevent doctors from going “Yeah I want that xMagic gone too”.

Good point. Didn’t think about that.
In my situation I was able to get a CT scan with contrast again, just like the time before that I ran into an MRI issue. Maybe I should get a card before I mess myself up even worse lol

@Not

Plus hey, the card(s) are free.

Another good point. Free DT swag, idk why I said no!

@tac0s

What if I have moved since the last purchase? Can you send the card to a new address?

Of course! Just let us know in the ticket : )

Not cool

@invalid_signal

So I’ll upload those when I get them

Cool

I like the medical summary of your implants

“He’s got many implants in his hands”

Good to see you back buddy, and I hope your health improves

[invalid_signal]

Thank you!
I made a big move for a new job, and within the first week, I take a 20+ foot (6+ meters) fall and wind up in the hospital lol
Thankfully I’m doing well, and still have the job!

[tac0s]

@invalid_signal

I take a 20+ foot (6+ meters) fall

[Pilgrimsmaster]

@invalid_signal

I take a 6+ meters fall

All your training and experience and that still happened…

I’m glad you aren’t a puddle on the ground

[Pilgrimsmaster]

@invalid_signal

Thankfully I’m doing well, and still have the job!

Is your new job as a stunt man?
Crash test dummy?

Maybe you need more training

[invalid_signal]

This wasn’t at work unfortunately lol
At least I hit my insurance deductible. Free hospital stays for the next time I mess myself up XD

Haha no, I’m working for a motorsports team now in IMSA.

@invalid_signal

I’m working for a motorsports team

Was alit a 6+meter fall horizontally?

[Pilgrimsmaster]

@invalid_signal

At least I hit my insurance deductible.

Ha, I don’t know what that means…but it sounds good!?

@invalid_signal

Free hospital stays for the next time I mess myself up XD

This I understand…

@invalid_signal

I’m working for a motorsports team now in IMSA

Nascar?

I guess I know who I’m hitting up when I go to Florida

Seriously though, I’m glad you are back, in good spirits, still have a job and not dead…

Thats good news all around

[invalid_signal]

Haha not horizontal. I wish I was a race car driver!
Not quite NASCAR, not quite F1, IMSA is kind of a mix?

[Hamspiced]

Good buddy used to work for vorschlagg. He did most of their photography at pikes peak. I’m assuming it’s similar?

[invalid_signal]

Nice! I love Pikes Peak!
I’m an asset relocating specialist…I drive the semi truck lol
Hauling the car, gear, etc. Cleaning, fixing, and stocking the truck. Also building the timing tower on pit lane.
I was participating in pit stop practice hoping to make it on pit crew until my fall. That’ll have to wait a few months.

One thing I just can’t let go of is movie scripts completely disregarding thermodynamics… the basic premise as to how energy moves and works in the universe. The most recent example of a movie I rewatched is I Am Legend. The “Darkseekers” (the infected humans) are described as having a core temperature of 106 Fahrenheit, a pulse of 200 BPM, and elevated respiration and oxygen saturation… yet they sit around all day in the dark and seemingly have no elevated need to fuel all that heat generation. Imagine a bear that hybernates by elevating metabolism. Whoever wrote this shit needs to get locked in a freezer… see how thermodynamics really works.

[enginerd]

@amal

elevated respiration and oxygen saturation

What does that even mean!? Instead of having a healthy saturation of 98% it’s of 100% or what?

[Pilgrimsmaster]

Handy function for those not aware

Probably sucking eggs for most, but making this post i thought, maybe not eveybody knows these things…

Another FYI

“Normal” / average body temp 37°C
Actually ranges between 36.1°C to 37.2°C

Above 38⁰C, is considered a fever
