I love hearing about what happens in human medicine. I follow a bunch of medblrs and I know I have a few following me too… I’m pretty sure it’s because we’re both fascinated/slightly horrified by what our sister profession gets up to 😂
I heard from a human doctor about something called scolomine races. Scolomine is a muscle relaxant that is usually used in surgery. Inject it and nothing happens for a bit. But when it takes effect, you essentially collapse in a heap.
I am in no way condoning this but what happened was a bunch of new grads working in a rural area had nothing better to do (cus the hospital was under stocked in everything except scolomine). One person stood on the side with a stop watch while the rest lined up. They injeceted themselves and ran. The last person to collapse was the winner.
Note to vacationing non-Americans: while it’s true that America doesn’t always have the best food culture, the food in our restaurants is really not representative of what most of us eat at home. The portions at Cheesecake Factory or IHOP are meant to be indulgent, not just “what Americans are used to.”
If you eat at a regular American household, during a regular meal where they’re not going out of their way to impress guests, you probably will not be served twelve pounds of chocolate-covered cream cheese. Please bear this in mind before writing yet another “omg I can’t believe American food” post.
Also, most American restaurant portions are 100% intended as two meals’ worth of food. Some of my older Irish relatives still struggle with the idea that it’s not just not rude to eat half your meal and take the rest home, it’s expected. (Apparently this is somewhat of an American custom.)
Opening the fridge the following day and finding delicious, professionally prepared food sitting there waiting for me is one of the greatest joys I know.
