The urethra is still separate from the digestive system though.

United States, medium sized hospital in the Chicago suburbs.

Illinois, one of the Chicago suburbs.

17 years ago on a Saturday night, just before bedtime, my 4yo son was being a dufus and managed to break his collarbone. Before we knew it was broken (but knew something was obviously wrong) I took him to the emergency room. We were stuck waiting about 6 hours to be seen. The nurse that triaged us was extremely apologetic and literally stated “I’m so sorry you’ve had to wait so long, we’re stuck having to see the drunken scraped knees first just because they came in an ambulance.”

I’m assuming that if my son were bleeding out he would be seen faster, but I’ve assumed that in non-life threatening situations that ambulances receive priority.

LD50’s are fun!

I get being curious, but different people have different timelines and levels of comfort when processing their trauma.

If they’re ready to discuss and let you know what happened, they’ll offer the amount of information they’re prepared to share. If they don’t offer, then please respect their space.

He used the same dreads wig one of the other actors wore in this movie when he played Drexl in True Romance. I love that movie!

I read that in Wallace’s voice.

I can see someone submitting a DNA sample to Ancestry and watching the horror/drama unfold.

What would be worse - finding out the sample came from a missing person, or someone who never offered the donation?

Me - I understand all the words you just used, but not in this context.

Boyfriend is a huge board gaming nerd. He’s a very patient person lol.

I want to hear the local’s tell the story about the witch in the forest that merged the ghost owl with the giant bitey fish, and how if little kids don’t get their chores done, the monster will eat them when they go to the pond or river for a bath.

This skull is proof, and I will not hear otherwise.

“Dude! What were you doing last night bro? Your breath smells like spider dick!”

After watching a hospice patient cry because (according to her) the Dr interviewed on Fox News talked about how he doesn’t do abortions anymore after performing a late term abortion where the mother went into labor and delivered the baby before he could kill it, so he cleaned up the baby and consoled it as he discussed with the parents their options on how to dispatch it after the fact. She was inconsolable. But in drinking Fox’s Kool aid, it was the only channel she would watch.

For moral reasons I will take any opportunity to nudge the vulnerable away from the harm certain entities create.

Maybe not so far fetched. I work in hospice, with the vast majority of the patients I see in their 75-95+yo range. While most have no interest in technology, it’s not uncommon for the elderly to have “that grandchild” that helps everyone set up their cell phone, “get the Netflix to work,” set up Ring doorbells, etc. I’ve even known some to ask their grandchild to help their equally elderly neighbor (who doesn’t have any local family) with their new TV. It’s a thing.

Just throwing this out there, but while this is the direction you went to deal with the trauma you experienced, do you feel like it’s the healthiest path? I have a loved one with PTSD from trauma. There are many ways to deal with it, but I dare guess that therapy (with the right therapist for you) may give you better, healthier tools.

I only wish you well, and hope you find peace.

You’re drunk goat, go home.

I’m going to guess that the upper end of the sentencing for forgery is probably for situations like human trafficking (forging documents) or smuggling endangered species, ivory, etc. At least that’s the level it should be for.
