I keep looking for active discussions on Masto; maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places?

@TheBreadmonkey

if i have prevented one person from an 8 hr wait in a and e by learning to use a flared base, my work here is done.

i was manning the condom stand at a pride concert.

i was given a wide berth.

i went for a pint, when i came back they were gone.

people are still shy.

or someone just nicked them all.

anyway my job was done.

@benroyce

my friends think i am overreacting when i tell them to use condoms till they get their new partners tested.

they think if someone is nice they are safe.

it is the nice ones you need to look out for.

and with age comes increased risk.

“possibly preventable”
“choose smaller if unsure “

A closed adult fist is about 10 cm (4 inches) wide across the front knuckles.

instead of faffing about with forceps, they could roll up their sleeves and pull it out!

@alice
I wonder if its because over 45 almost everyone has the virus or antibodies already?

@amiserabilist I want to believe you've had this picture and song ready to go for years, and when you saw this thread you were like "my time is now!"

@davidbcohen

surprisingly no one has attempted this.

i guess no one wanted to be the first one to suggest fisting the patient, adding they may even like it.

instead they do shit like this:

Novel Approach to Rectal Foreign Body Extraction

In the operating room, with the patient under general anesthesia, multiple attempts to remove the object were unsuccessful. A SILS port was inserted transanally. The rectum was then insufflated manually by attaching the diaphragm of the rigid sigmoidoscope to the SILS insufflation port. A 5-mm 0-degree laparoscope was placed through the SILS port. An atraumatic laparoscopic grasper was then placed through the port and used to grasp the visible end of the cigar case. The rectal foreign body was removed expeditiously. Direct visualization of the rectum revealed no evidence of mucosal injury. The patient was discharged home shortly after the procedure.

@dlakelan there are a bunch of strains though, and the vaccine is for the high-risk cervical cancer causing ones.

@Perrin42

yes, i googled it. even by my standards i was appalled by what was alleged to have been done to the gerbil.

i doubt anyone has done it.

maybe the Epstein crowd.

I'm confused. You're Gen-X and had to Google it? That was seared into the psyche of everyone I knew. Asking was purely a rhetorical exercise. Heck, South Park even did a whole bit about it. I'm so confused.

[amiserabilist@beige.party]

@Perrin42

i knew it, but googled to see if there were any confirmed cases of it ever being done.

there were none.

but one site went into details of what was allegedly done to the gerbil prior to insertion to render it harmless.
