- soulless___ape: China calling the US out on human rights⌠we are lost as a country.
Pennsylvania police officer charged in fatal shooting of student who went to wrong house. “At the time these two fatal shots were fired, Mr. Pysher had his hands up” (r/news)
- SlinkyMalinky20: This is horrendous. That poor kid and his family.
- Erion7: The fact that this POS cop got caught on camera blatantly lying about what was captured on his own bodycam is absolutely unsurprising.
- statslady23: I know a handful of drunk people who have gone to the wrong house. I know two who went in and slept. One didn’t find out til morning, and the people who owned the house that he had never met before made him breakfast. None of the people I know got shot. One did get arrested.
People over 30, what’s something you DON’T regret doing in your 20s? (r/AskReddit)
- VagabondAlbertan: Partying. Sounds stupid but enjoy hanging out with your friends before everyone has kids and responsibilities
- ducklady92: Traveling before I was too tied down to relationships/pets/jobs to do so on a whim. I used to spend every last dime on one-way tickets and just⌠move somewhere new for awhile. I feel like i learned so much about who i was during those times. Now I travel much less frequently but Iâm not sore about it, because I jam-packed so much life experience into a few short years.
- Asleep_Panda_7482: Not having everything figured out. Your 20s are basically the tutorial level
Doctors of reddit, what was the biggest medical mystery/anomaly that you have come across? (r/AskReddit)
- catrosie: Had a patient who was being treated for low BP by her PCP but her blood pressure continued to be low so she was sent to cardiology where we did a work up but couldnât find anything wrong. BP continued to be low even maxed out on midodrine. I checked both arms, BP was 80/40 on the left, 180/100 on the right. Checked her carotids and sure enough I heard a bruit. Sent her for a scan and we found she had subclavian steal syndrome and significant stenosis to the left arm arteries. She was being treated for hypotension for months when she actually had severe HYPERTENSION but they had been checking the wrong arm. Sent her to a vascular surgeon who cleared her arteries and I got her on antihypertensives and she stabilized! Now I tell everybody to ALWAYS check BOTH arms if something seems off
- Amadeusodo: I had a patient once come in with tinnitus and on a hunch decided to check an aspirin level - it was sky high and we got her into emergent dialysis. Super lucky catch.
- Racazuzu: This didnât happen to me, but to my brother when he was in med school & dissecting his first cadaver. As they started working, my bro & his group were getting more & more freaked out because they couldnât find certain structures where they were supposed to be. It wasnât until they cracked the sternum & saw the heart on the right side of the body that they realised this person had situs inversus - a condition where all the organs in the torso & abdomen are essentially flipped. Itâs pretty rare and odd but doesnât pose a risk to health, and some people go through life without even knowing they have it.
Who is the most hated comedian among comedians and audiences? (r/AskReddit)
- Due-Amoeba-1519: Carlos Mencia managed to make joke-stealing so blatant that even other comics who usually stay quiet started calling him out by name.
- majorjoe23: I know the MST3K crew hated Gallagher. Supposedly he went through Joel Hodgsonâs prop trunk backstage at a show, looking for ideas.
- eyeofnyx: Carlos Mencia is a known joke thief and his show was a rip off of Chapelle Show, and not good.
