I walked to and from the coffee shop we hang out at, which is about four miles away. On my way back, I passed some guy getting his mail, and shivering violently. He asked me what in the world I was doing out in the cold, to which I replied "Chllin'." I feel complete now.

Weird, I think your post seized up the chat thread. I can't get to the next page.

Well that post made it so I could get to this page. Crazy weird dude.

i'm a wizard

Haha.

The mainland got fucked up today with rain and storm - but it was a really nice day down here. Like, the first time this summer. I think my islands happiness is determined by the misery of the rest of the country.

Tadao, Zhukov: Thanks for the well wishes and yes, it was crazy cool
For everyone’s information, the procedure I saw was a triple bypass with ESVH (endoscopic vein harvesting). Initially I just watched the endoscopic part because it was easier to stay out of the way. To the untrained eye, it basically looked like he was just mashing about in there, clamping random bits of the body while pushing aside layers of fat and whatever else we keep in our legs. The camera quality was quite high, and the doctor did a good job of keeping it clean when he saw any haemorrhages due to his work. Oh, and there is something creepy about seeing light under a person’s skin (for the camera). The most unsettling part was when he pulled the vein out with his fingers from the most proximal incision. It was just a weird site. Following that he sewed up any remaining lacerations to the vein, so it would work for the procedure. Bottom line – endoscope work is amazingly advanced, but it looks like you just blast through layers of whatever.
Heart part: Let me start by saying bone saws are awesome. They also had some sort of cauterizing iron that arced a spark to stop bleeding and instantly scar tissue to keep it from bleeding. Oh, and those vice clamps they use to keep the cavity open? Straight out of Saw. This part of the procedure was immensely complex, and was difficult to see at some points because it was three surgeons working on a hole a bit larger than a deck of cards. They had to arrest the heart and run it through the machine, which they helped slow down quite literally with ice slush. The bypass is quite brilliant, it essentially is placing an artery into a new passage and then closing it shut like a drawstring bag. Suction was also a major part as the pericardial cavity often had started to fill thanks to the proximity and nature of the procedure. Oh and seeing arterial blood is weird, it’s like... Candy red.
Defining moment: When I scrubbed in and poked around inside that guy. After the grafts were in place and VS were stable, I got the experience of my life. Holy shit, there is nothing like holding a man’s beating heart in your hand. The surgeon also placed my hand on the aorta – if only it were always that easy to feel a pulse. Thoughts of Mortal Kombat ran through my mind to close my hand around his heart and scream ‘fatality’ but of course that was in jest. In closing, if you can ever see a surgery, go on and do it.
Tl;dr – I held a heart and i liked it.

:lol You arsehole

I got up to that stage thinking that you were having the surgery done on you. I wouldn't have wished you quite as much well wishes if I had known you were just going to BE THERE. :lol

"Holy shit, this guy is watching the doctor take HIS OWN veins out of his body, and he's not even fussed."

I can't stop laughing. Nice story though.

Hahaha, yeah I sort of got that impression from the post. Should have made that a little more clear earlier on haha

I was wondering why so many people were wishing you well. :lol

We're not that nice.

I used to do the call schedule for the hospital where I worked, and I remember doctors calling me FROM THE MIDDLE OF SURGERIES LIKE THAT to yell at me for messing up the vacation plans they never told me about. I was always imagining some poor guy open on the table for a CABG and thinking, wtf are you yelling at me for when you have someone open on an operating table?!?

Second time Queensland has been fucked over in a very short amount of time, right?

Our whole area has been brought to a standstill. Outside, it's like walking on a frozen lake...everything is covered in thick layers of snow and ice. The whole city was shut down yesterday and anyone on the streets other than emergency personnel got ticketed. I don't know what it's going to be like today.

Lake Shore Drive in Chicago had a string of 1,000 cars stranded and abandoned during the worst of it. That's one of the most popular routes in the city, literally steps from downtown. Crazy.

Did anyone else think of Bone Saw McGraw?



'cause he's awesome too. :)

:lol I totally thought you were going in to have your heart worked on. I realized at "Initially I just watched the" that you must be training to be a nurse. THAT'S RIGHT I CALLED YOU A GIRLY MAN.

harry naval

Fucking magnets, eh? :eek

Thank you, T. :eek :wank :yum

o'reilly is a total loon

I'm not 100% but I think he was there too.

:O

No love for Phobos or Deimos.

Playing Doom has made me more knowledgeable of our solar system than Bill O'Reilly.

A pair of Eights? :eek

It is cute that you think of me. :eek

Now show me your dick! :eek

:pagebrak

howsit going, pub?

A Six and an Eight :eek

I also shot Colonel Tigh in the head. But then he came back >:

I had a derealization attack today.

You have to change your avatar.

The internet is pretty much telling me that a derealization attack gives you the same symptoms as standing up too fast

It's like that, but it's existential, too, not just sensory like vertigo or something. It's a sort of anxiety attack, or a lot like jamais vu.

The closest approximation of it is to imagine seeing yourself in the third person or the world shifting like in Jaws when Brody's sitting on the beach.



EDIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derealization

I don't like that Linden website's definition. :\

I'm never changing it now.

Is that a wiry chick or an effeminate dude. I mean, I don't care; I'll fuck it, but it'd be nice to know beforehand.

I ALREADY POSTED A PICTURE OF MY BURLY POPEYE FOREARMS FOR YOU DURING THE CENSUS, LESS IS MORE YOU GREEDY MAN

lol

Pub's going to have wet dreams of being teabagged while titfucking your face now

tits and a dream can't fix that mess

Holy shit am I tired.

I glued my fingers together with fake nail glue. That was my day.

I want a TR 808

I watched Puppy Bowl VII

:D

Everything is right in the world as long as i-mockery.net is still the same!

HEY BIGGY!

YES?

Thank you milhouse backwards. I'll let you decide what i do today, fyi we do have an abandoned meat factory in tucson.

And i have to be done by 6 to meet up with my Mutants and Masterminds group for an epic final fight.

..

:yum

Sorry to keep posting this, but Jesus Christ, it's been about three or four weeks straight of constant vertigo. Going to an ENT Wednesday; maybe he'll shed some light.

Hey LordSappington I think elx has a crush on you ;) ;)

I AM PLAYING CUPID, WHO'S NEXT?

Just kidding nobody likes any of you losers

guys i'm totally drunk and watching videos of ronald reagan on youtube and man he can talk like no one's bizzness

Fathom didn't you know that it's against the law to compliment any republican, superficial attributes or otherwise, on any part of the internet that hasn't been properly sanctioned for that kind of behavior?

I once said that George W. Bush had on a nice tie and I was consequently bludgeoned with abuse and threats!

Republicans are faggots. Democrats are faggots. Libertarians are the faggiest faggots.

:politics

jesus bananas there's something awesome I want to post but I can't because my internet is being jewish >:

Pics of your supple 18yo body?

yeahhh i'll take off my shirt when a few dozen of you do

Ok, I'm down for that. Just need a few more volunteers.

I really need to sprinkle my conversation with more "goyim" adjectives.

I was thinking about putting elx's face on Fathom's nekid body, but then the thought police started questioning me about child pornography. I'd hate to see what would happen to someone at work.

Let me get my camera.

faggiest collection of faggots

T, D & I have done this already. I'd repost but I'd likely get my nipples pasted over my eyes. :eek

Plus I still have pics of my dick up for grabs for anyone that wants to join the three chaps here that have already had the pleasure. PM me. :eek

Send your address if you want me to gift you the needed magnifying glass. :eek

I was gonna say the exact same thing. I started looking for the pics but I got called away for something. I think E recently showed his nips too. :eek

i was kidding, there's no way i'd encroach upon FZ's territory in this thread :(

nobody here should lose their virtuous modesty like he so easily abandoned

There's a bat in my house, and I can't capture it to put it outside. Damned thing is hiding in the rafters. Asian custom indicates this is a sign of good luck - I say Phooey.

Have you tried not taking acid?

this is what it will look like after it devours your family

he looks like he has a mouth full of peanuts

There we go. :picklehat

Adorable. :love

Bananana? :eek

Perhaps.

That was the first word I ever said. I don't know why I remembered being told that


What the hell kind of game plan is THAT

Now imagine this creepy, grinning, bugeyed little moonface on an adorable toddler repeating "bananana" over and over

SEE YOU IN YOUR NIGHTMARES :alicecooper

pedophiles wet dream

Went to the ENT; for now, I'm trying some steroids and mainstream Valium.
I start off with 60 mg of Prednisone today and tomorrow, 50mg the next two days, and so on. This is what doctors refer to as the Metric Fuckton of Steroids Therapy.

Last time I went to the ENT, this was the outcome.

I'm wondering if they'll have to cut my skull open and cut out my balance nerve, like my mom did. :\

THANKS FOR THE GENES, MA

now what you need to do is make sure you drink plenty of alcohol, and pm Pub Lover a pic of you lying helplessly in a hospital bed, complete with bottomless gown.

Just dont forget the dick pics too. ;)

Most nights it's just me and eustaceki by ourselves. Can you unban it so I wont feel as alone?

Also, if it's banned, how come it's still hanging around? If it's not banned, how come it's not banned?

it's just a spambot. it comes on here so google will see it when the google bot shows up randomly. :themoreyouknow

No, but last night ... (wait for it) ... it was gone. COINCIDENCE????

Taking my diazepam before classes wasn't a great idea.

You should build a bat house outside and collect a few more. Bats are awesome bug eaters.

I guess then everyone on his street would call him...

YEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH

i tried to heal you with my traditional chinese medicine powers but you didn't listen and now you're on steroids which are gonna make your dick shrink and your ass get all big :O :O

Hey, all the boys are gonna be after my big ass.

You probably got vertigo from hitting your head doing all that stupid free running bullshit.
