ADRENALINUM vs LIDOCAINE HYDROCHLORIDE AND EPINEPHRINE

Edit: Wow. I know people always say this… but I didn’t know this would get so much attention. Thank you for your awards and advice. I sincerely appreciate the outpouring of well wishes and I will pass them along to her. For those who don’t believe the story I posted more details on some comments. A

This is my baby, Kilo. In March 2023 I saw on the news and social media that a Sphynx cat had been found living inside of a Mexican prison. This is my understanding of his story: His owner was a leader in the Los Mexicles cartel, and was in prison for murder among other charges. After a party on New

Earlier in the year, Adam Sandler was a guest on Howard Stern’s show to discuss his starring role in the excellent *Uncut Gems*. During the interview, Sandler made a joke about what would happen if he didn’t win the Best Actor Academy Award. [He told Howard](https://www.businessinsider.com/adam-sand

I can't tell anyone this, even my therapist. Lambast me if you wanr and maybe I even deserve it. I only ask what you would do if you were in my situation. Not what you think "people should" do. What you would REALLY do. I'm a single mom of 2 boys. 12 and 7. My husband passed away 3 years ago in a w

I have been reading lots of Reddit lately, especially entitled parents, but made a new account when I came across this page. I never thought I'd actually try to contribute something! Until now Reddit has just been my guilty morning coffee read. So here goes. I'm an only son. My mom died of ovarian c

Hello beautiful apes! I have 2 points to show you. First is that Yahoo is showing completely different values depending on your IP. Try using a VPN with a different country and you'll see. Second is that I stumbled upon the ***ENTIRE FUCKING GAME PLAN*** of the naked shorting scheme. I guess an insi

Donald Trump saw the reported homicide of Rob Reiner and his wife and did what he always does when confronted with human suffering. He sneered. He politicised it. He treated it like a fucking toy to bat around for ego and revenge. Any halfway functional adult would know that when death enters the r

I am so fucking tired of the discrimination that women face when it comes to medical treatment. From being gaslighted, denied therapy or misdiagnosed, this discrimination often costs women their lives. One particular horrible mistreatment of women is the performance of gynecological procedures witho

So I was telling an acquaintance about this and he thought it was pretty interesting, so I thought I would share it with you guys. About 6 years ago my friend and I were on our way to pick up another friend from work at around 10pm. He was the driver and I was the passenger. We approach the intersec

I need some advice/ guidance. I am a male in my mid 20s and I went to a dentist to have a filling done on my back molar. The dentist applied lidocaine and did an injection into my gums on the upper right side. That was the last thing I remember. The next thing I know I am being pushed out in a gurne

I’ve been wanting to write this out and share my story for a while. I finally did. Here’s the very true and very real story: It was February 15th. 2018. The day after Valentine’s Day (which fell on a Thursday.) I was a little depressed during that whole week. But that is beyond the point of this sto

Ten years ago I got a copper IUD inserted. I did it at Planned Parenthood because, at the time, I worked for a school that relied on that bullshit Hobby Lobby stuff to not cover any birth control. This is no way a knock against Planned Parenthood, which is out here doing vital work, but the experien

I was curious if anyone working on the hospital side of things would be willing to share any ideas or solutions for managing the lidocaine/epinephrine drug shortage? Currently playing with the idea of compounding the product from stock epinephrine and lidocaine with the intent of packaging and stor

Basically, it’s compounded as a cream or gel, 6%lidocaine : 0.02% epinephrine: 4% tetracaine The epinephrine is essential in this compound as it leaves a “halo” of “numbing” but also aids in the procedure. Apparently there’s a shortage and there seems to be no conclusive answer, what does the phar
