  1. The guy is dead to me. He let trump and fascism win. But this is about trump's health which is not good and very concerning. Hillbilly Vance would be even worse.
  2. after the debate, yes. the retrospectoscope is powerful.
  3. cuz it was purposefully hidden just like the make up on trumps's hand. But that facial droop was not hidden.
  4. dude. I worked ICU's for the first 25 years of practice. You are not an ICU nurse. None of that was from google. It's required knowledge for anyone who works with stroke or heart patients. and it's rudimentary.
  5. I'll bet there are viewers here: https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/56828/did-more-people-watch-infowars-than-cnn "CNN had around 800k viewers a day, at its all time peak. Ever. Infowars gets over 500k visits per day not unique users so we can estimate unique users can be 300k, now. We're not even talking peak numbers. And his traffic is way down from all time highs. So yes, Infowars, at its peak, got more traffic than CNN's TV news network." This is a comment on the story. verification is needed but you're welcome to prove him wrong. At any rate, at its peak, infowars had a very large audience.
  6. The most egregious cases with the highest awards belong to the right https://apnews.com/article/alex-jones-infowars-bankruptcy-sandy-hook-0c3576e3c4bd853ac2cc5342118fca8c

  8. glad she's ok. strokes can be devastating. sadly, very common. many treatable risk factors, however. on another note, why do so many of the magas here pretend to be someone they're not? if b man was responsible for monitoring a TIA pt and didn't know what he was looking for and why, it could be disastrous. That said, I know many nurses who are maga. Only about 65% in this region got covid vax despite doing direct patient care.
  9. Refute what I said. If you worked ccu or icu or micu and didn’t know afib causes strokes or that the underlying cause is often coronary artery disease, your patients were in bad hands. what caused the facial droop? Transient Bell’s palsy?
  10. Afib is not terminal. Far from it. But it causes many strokes. That's why if you have it, you're on pradaxa, xarelto or God forbid,, coumadin for the rest of your life Imagine this series of events. A pt is diagnosed with afib. He gets pradaxa. He bruises very easily. Because of the loss of "atrial Kick" and the underlying cause of his afib,(often ischemic heart disease) and his cardiac output decreases. He gets swelling of the ankles. He's short of breath with exertion. He's on lasix and has to pee all the time and needs a diaper. Am I right? Not enough info. but it's entirely plausible. And you wave it off cavalierly. Are you really a nurse? afib would be near the top of potential causes of a TiA. From AI which is extremely convenient and in this cade, accurate Atrial fibrillation (AFib) significantly increases the risk of stroke, making individuals with AFib five times more likely to experience a stroke compared to those without the condition. This is due to the irregular heart rhythm causing blood to pool and form clots, which can then travel to the brain and block blood flow. So yeah, it would be important to identify afib. With no afib, the treatment is platelet inhibitors and no coumadin or newer better anticoagulants. It's possible that he's already on optimal treatment n- nothing more to add.
  11. you really don't believe he'd blow off medical advice? I'm sure Biden was advised to not run again once he clearly manifested Parkinson's. You seem particularly sensitive today. Must be from assassinations in the streets. But nobody made a deal of the Minn D, her husband and dog being killed in their home. No half mast flags. No republicans expressing sympathy. Nancy Pelosi's husband had his skull caved in and there wasn't much outrage from the right. Actually, I believe I saw some disparaging remarks about him right here. To be fair, I'm shaken by the recent political violence. We can discuss causes but neither side is blameless. Certainly not maga. So,, the care of a TIA pt depends on a nurse being able to recognize afib on a monitor. Did you work ICU, CCU, telemetry?
  12. The treatment after a TIA is light activity on a telemetry bed (to r/o afib as the cause) with frequent bp'checks and treatment if needed and anticoagulant/antiplatelet drug/s. The next step would be an MRA to look at his vessels. That may have been done already.. BP goes up after an event to compensate for the perceived temporary blockage. He shouldn't be out of the hospital but do you think he'd listen to his doc if he didn't want to? He wants to maintain an image of invincibility. All those macho memes would look foolish (Oh, wait). I don't think he would have it.
  13. see, the T in TIA stands for transient....you do know what transient means, right? well explained in simple terms. Just for you. https://medshun.com/article/how-long-can-a-tia-stroke-last
  14. My hometown. Much less touristy than Niagara on the Lake. I believe they're still running a jet boat upstream from Lewiston. Looks to be a blast. Some great fishing but you'll need a guide. If you go, Hibbard's custard is excellent as is Vincenzo's pizza. Finally, Fort Niagara in Youngstown (6 miles downriver from Lewiston where the river meets the lake) is a nice historic visit. On a clear day you can see the Toronto skyline from there.
  15. it looks like a TIA (transient ischemic attack). He seems to be checking hand strength during the episode. R facial droop and left hand weakness would put the "mini stroke" on the R hemisphere of the brain. Shaking hands later would be possible if it were very transient. This fits with his hand bruising in that he's probably on a potent anticoagulant to try and prevent these. Whatever it was, he should be in a hospital getting a work up.
  16. shameless shill. are u paid for this bs? Here's the thing: trump and his minions are following the nazi playbook very closely. they ARE moving the country towards fascism. Even wolf pup sees that. It's is the press' responsibility to report on it.
  17. and few if any would die. in most rural places, people could fill a freezer with venison from a shot gun slug every year. they actually need culling. none of these would assassinate a man from 200 yards but they'll do what's needed to feed a family and protect a home. https://www.outdoorlife.com/photos/gallery/hunting/2011/10/best-slug-guns-ol-picks-15-best-shotguns-deer-hunting/
  18. So sayeth the NRA. A shotgun wouldn't have touched him from 200 yard. More sporting for game hunting anyway. Obviously not for hunting humans.
  19. that was my point. it's now twice that I've had an opportunity to write "panacea.
  20. I said the tech doesn't appear to be a panacea. Perhaps I'm wrong and it turns out to be an early amazon like buy...
  21. We have a friend in a supper club that's a strict vegan. She's extremely health but cooking for her is a nightmare for the host.
  22. petty awfull PFF score but maybe they can coach him up https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/phidarian-mathis/56504
  23. and you're disingenuous as always...
  24. Cool. I'll stick with steady, low risk returns. 95% in 5 years. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/^GSPC/
