Fuck, I've had an NG tube 3 times, that was bad enough. That's nowhere near as bad as being intubated
TheNeub
1) masks are great because you can judge people while you wear yours. 2) don’t have to worry about bad breath.
Appel99
If they don’t get it yet, they’re hopeless.
eetsumkaus
do nurses not do the intubation? I would think there's a bigger supply of experienced nurses than interns
shaunofthedab
Sadly this tactic doesn't work against the right becouse they don't believe in corona. And if they do, they know masks only protect... 1/2
shaunofthedab
2/2 ...others and not themselves. And becouse they're selfish, they won't inconvenience themselves for others.

Problem is, the people most vehemently anti-mask usually homeschool because they distrust public education. They're morons.
whooptydoo
The thing is, wearing a mask wont save you. Its the other people wearing masks that will. Stop spreading any bit of missinformation, anti
whooptydoo
Maskers WILL justify their position bc you "lied"

Considering that some medical students had to miss out on clinical rounds and on class hands on lecture time @OP, your title isn't warranted
backrideup9
Make it a proctology intern...now we're talkin'.
oldguyexlurker
But... the mask keeps the intern from intubating someone else. And that shit's funny! (jk wear a fuckin' mask so the nurse isn't exposed.)
oldguyexlurker
Fine. Bring on the "exposed" nurse jokes.

Tbh.....if you're smart enough to get a Doctorate in Medicine.....I'd trust them.
PennysWorthOfTea
Pssst: you shouldn't. I've met a lot of MDs that shouldn't be trusted. They mean well but they get complacent and overworked to exhaustion.

Cheers, I'll stick with the mask.
ConfidentlyNaked
My girlfriend is a gynecology resident (2nd year) and she's not allowed near any covid+ patients. Still wear a mask tho...
Spinagatr
Bruh the fucknut with no mask will be fine by dumb luck. But they’ll infect someone’s grandma, thru her mask, while she’s getting essentials

And I’m not talking about the fucking oils either

This is great.

Dr. Emily has a pretty rocking hairdo!
acertainjenesaisquoi
The only time I've bitched about wearing a mask was at work. Wearing one in a sweltering engine room on your own is horrific.
WhatTheFrench
My company isn’t requiring them on the factory floor for people in stationary workstations with good social distancing.
acertainjenesaisquoi
They've told us to wear them if we want to, but to be sensible. No point risking overheating down below if it can be helped.
WhatTheFrench
People have to wear them if social distancing is not possible in their work area or if they’re circulating around the building.

Casual reminder that masks are not mandatory in the Netherlands and we're down to 0-5 deaths a day, why? Cus we stay the fuck inside
DrakeRamorayMD
Hey now I’ve intubated at least three different CPR dummies and none of them have complained
twfeline
Can't complain, if they're dead.
TheNeub
For people who live in countries that wearing masks is normal. Do you have memes about us? Or is this too stupid?

Now which hole does the gynecology intern intubate you?
bsmithwins
The one between your anus and your urethra. If you don’t have one already they’ll make one.

JohnBigboote74
When your doctor uses a speculum to intubate you instead of a laryngoscope.

But it DID get sterilized, didn't it? DIDN'T IT?

No but pretty sure the patient did so close enough.

In fairness to you, are the people around you wearing masks? Because that’s the issue, not that you have to work.

Why is the name and the stick figure moving on the chalkboard
YouTalkShiteHen
Some weird stabilisation, I'm guessing.
blmcdonald
It’s done to lower the file size of the gif. You crop out what you don’t need to move so it’s just a stagnant image in that part.
blmcdonald
There no movement in the gif except janitor and the area around the stick figure where his stick is moving.

Seriously. I work at a hardware store and I’ve been yelled at that “it’s bad for you! Whenever I put it on I feel my life draining away!”

Like bitch I wear this for 9+ hours a day. Eat my ass.

Tbf, you have to get used to them, I struggled a lot, but wore one at my house without the nose snug, when it got easier, made it snug

Now I forget I'm wearing it

I work in a pizza shop. Very physical activity, lots of flour in the air. I'm suffocating two hours in. Literally experiencing co2 tox.

I still wear the mask, just taking regular breaks to refresh my body.

Granted, they're cheapass paper masks that corporate sent us one (1) time at the beginning of the pandemic, and never again BUT

"But it fogs up my glasses!" Yeah I'm sure that's waaaay more inconvenient than dying to Corona
AlphaVirus2g
The foggy glasses are bad. Imagine going blind every other second haha. But you're right, the alternative is worse.
pancreas
to be fair, if you're dead, you have no more problems.
Oakshand
I bought a mask and a shitload of filters off amazon for 20 bucks. It doesnt fog up my glasses and its way easier to breathe in. Lazy people
ZoidbergIsGreat
You can get anti fog solutions. Some surgical masks have either plastic or foam strips at the top. We wear goggles and masks in OR regularly

The glasses fogging is a PITA, but not near as much of one as the alternative.
TheRicM
What does type of bread have to do with anything here
AAspire
The masks can be modified with a wire. Due to glasses, I will be doing this.
curmudgeon91
I've made mine that way from the beginning because everyone I know wears glasses or sunglasses (AZ is bright af, too much sun) if you get>>
curmudgeon91
>>the thicker little metal strips, it stays better than the wire, keeps the shape you pinch it to better :)
Psionickitten
I have glasses. I tend to make smaller more frequent breaths to avoid big exhales. Even then the fog in glasses is as easy to adapt to...
Psionickitten
... as having long hair go over your eyes. You can adapt to getting used to it. It's definitely worth any inconvenience to stay safe.
xdarthfirex
I just take my glasses off.
ZetaRayBill
Clean your lenses with soap & water. Should keep them from fogging up for a little while.
MediaBiasCheckerFanboy
You have no idea. My GF complains about her masks all the time and I'm like fuck it I'm use to it
icommentwithsteveharvey
Its easier to get used to (and safer) if you just leave it on while your out of the house.
MediaBiasCheckerFanboy
oh she knows, she works in the ER and they started enforcing masks about a month and a half ago. Still takes time getting use to.
icommentwithsteveharvey
Fair, i appreciate her work in these times. Ive been really trying not to give her more work haha

Hahaha just wear the masks
BigHatMatt
Is there any way to help it stop hurting your ears so much?
bedframe
You can 3d print things that hold the straps behind you head, I bet you could buy them on etsy
BigHatMatt
I got a printer, I'll see if I can find any patterns
bedframe
They're all over thingaverse.
MediaBiasCheckerFanboy
Get the ones that tie getting your head. If not see if you can get a bigger size because they shouldn't hurt for short periods of time
BigHatMatt
I'm on the autism spectrum and have MAJOR sensory problems. They hurt as soon as I put them on, even if loose. Behind the ears sensitive.
MediaBiasCheckerFanboy
Try the one that tie instead of loop around the ears. Other option is a face cover
LooseSeall
Tbf it really fucks with makeup sometimes and I hate feeling restricted. I don’t actively bitch, but I do dramatically rip it off every time
LooseSeall
I get home/to a place where I don’t need it and I’ll chunk it across the room with a small huff. Jewelry is suffocating to me to though
cambriago13
If you think wearing a mask sucks, try a ventilator and see which you prefer. Choose one, responsibly, before the choice is made for you.
SweatyMooseKnuckle
Haven’t ventilators proven to be pretty ineffective for covid treatment? I mean I get your point, though.

SanguineMyBrother
Fairly though, I wear a mask but I have medical orders not to be put on a ventilator ever.
JetSetGo
What does that mean? Like a do-not-recesitate order, or will you die if you go on a ventilator?
SanguineMyBrother
DNR, and a refusal to be put on a ventilator under any circumstances through a lawyer.
whyismyusernametakenalready
I say no to ventilators, that's just the gummint and bill gates trying to force 5g into you to make frogs gay, and I aint no coward

Someone in the Twitter thread suggested everyone watch an intubation video. Someone posted one. ? Wear a damn mask people.

most masks people wear won't prevent them from getting the disease. The point is to get EVERYBODY wearing masks to protect the vulnerable

"Been fine without airbag and seatbelts, maybe it's my new car and air freshener and racing people at stoplights.Downvotes incoming"-analogy
Devviedehm
"I haven't had it yet" is not a good reason to not be careful. And anecdotal evidence is not necessarily representative of the whole.
JetSetGo
You can't just avoid them by saying "downvotes incoming". A) If you haven't gotten sick yet, you're much more likely to if you don't wear...
JetSetGo
...a mask. B) If you have gotten sick, or get sick, you are putting so many more people at risk for getting sick by not wearing a mask...
JetSetGo
...I agree that given my age and health, I'm unlikely to die or need a ventilator if I get COVID. But I don't want to put people around...
JetSetGo
...me in danger, so I wear a mask out of consideration for them. It's just the right thing to do.
