Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What diseases do we never think of but should really know how to spot the signs of?
11·10 hours agoYou might think of these more often than many others so I’m not getting full marks for the assignment. Can’t hurt to review the basics though.
Stroke
Memory aid: FAST for Face, Arm, Speech, Time. It’s a reminder to look for facial features drooping on one side, arm weakness, and speech abnormalities (slurred, jumbled, absent, etc.) indicating that it’s time to call for emergency medical services.Heart attack
Pain above the belt line (often chest and arm but can show up many ways), difficulty breathing, heavy sweating, pale skin, and a sense of impending doom. Last one’s a bit weird: either heart attacks give you the ability to imprecisely sense the very near future or your body is starting to feel the inefficiency of a failing system.Diabetic emergency
Often, a person who seems drunk is just drunk. They might be diabetic and having problems with regulation of blood sugar levels instead though. Look for medical alert wristbands and things of that sort which may provide a clue into what’s going on if they’re having a hard time communicating verbally.Sugar levels might be too high or might be too low but for the short time until the ambulance shows up, I’d treat it as low by default. Food and drinks with sugar might help but consider choking risks and other hazards in case they seem like they may lose consciousness or have difficulty swallowing.
In all of these cases, calling for EMS early is one of the most important steps you can take. Get that ball rolling as soon as it is reasonable to do so since minutes can make a difference if it turns out to be something serious and the patient’s condition goes downhill fast. I’m also going off the assumption that there aren’t more suitable explanations (e.g. slurred speech immediately after a root canal might not make me think of a stroke right away) for signs and symptoms on display.
It’s true, just checked his medical records and he is not pregnant.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•At this point, should I trick Reddit into thinking that they’ve wrongfully banned my account “r/DylanMc6” in my ban appeal? (repost from !hexbear@hexbear.net)

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is Substack and why all the sudden do all the content creators seem to be on it?
10·4 days agoI’m not sure which content creators you’re referring to specifically or what you consider sudden but Substack has been around for a few years. Don’t know much about the subscription side other than the fact that authors can put content behind a paywall and make money off it. If you’re seeing people in a particular hobby or niche interest jumping aboard, it could be a follow-the-leader sort of thing where a few people found success there and now the rest want a piece of the pie.
Hard to say whether you’re missing out since your experience will be heavily dependent upon your interests and the quality of available content catering to those interests. Nothing’s stopping you from taking a look and deciding whether it’s your kind of place though.

The apostrophe looks like someone popped the tittle off an ‘i’ and smeared it a little. With that in mind, going from “it is” to “it’s” just discards the vertical line from ‘i’ and moves things together.
