That sounds like a game bug.

"Patched doctors being able to prescribe medication to themselves."

[Frumple]

It varies by region, actually. Some areas it's legal, some it's not.

Far as I'm aware, in practice it's pretty trivial for a doctor to get another doctor to prescribe something regardless, so it doesn't exactly make some huge difference in regards to accessibility.

[scriver]

Unless it changed from when I picked up the knowledge, being an apothecary in Germany still makes you legally allowed to experiment with your own medicine

[hector13]

Yeah Germany doesn’t have a bad history with human experimentation or nuffin’

[EuchreJack]

Oh yeah, I do that all the time.
Bandaids help both the healing and avoiding the temptation to pick at it.

[King Zultan]

How do you keep bandaids on I can't seem to be able to keep them from falling off.

[hector13]

Superglue, unless you want them to come off at some point I guess.

How do you keep bandaids on I can't seem to be able to keep them from falling off.

Put a band-aid on top of the band-aid

[EuchreJack]

Actually, you just buy better bandaids. But I sympathize.

I got a cheap roll of that stretchy medical "tape" which only adheres to itself, not skin, and it's been pretty great.  I was just keeping friction off a blister but I'm sure it could hold a proper bandage in place.  It can be removed and reapplied daily too, while only slowly losing its self-adherence.

Gotta go mug some more Girl Scouts.

[bloop_bleep]

With a mug full of un-thin-mint-paired milk.

[Eschar]

a doom mug

Went to see a relative a yesterday in a far off town and had to stay the night in a hotel, and it was god awful the AC in the room didn't work and I ended up waking up in the middle of the night because I was burning up and couldn't go to sleep for several hours because of the heat, then the next day we went out for breakfast at an all day breakfast restaurant and I got a sandwich and the damn thing was so salty that I couldn't taste anything but salt, which sucks as I had got a sandwich like that before and it was really good, also all that salt made me feel like shit the rest of the day.


TLDR; fun trip made shit by poor hotel maintenance and sandwich with was mostly salt.

i'm apparently getting too old for sleep scheduling interruptions

grandparent woke me up at 4:30 this morning, thinks they might have caught a stomach bug and doesn't need to be close to other grandparent, the one with fairly advanced dementia that can't go to the bathroom alone without, like, trailing shit everywhere afterwards

so like, i'm awake now, i don't get to sleep anymore

but in trying to email boss people 'cause like, not going to drive on sub 3 hours sleep and possible contagious illness, it took multiple tries to get the fucking email address right and I'm just like

i cannot human right now, please check back later

frumple needs their sleep, damnit, the more I run into stuff like this the more I'm finding I just do not have nearly the tolerance for sleep disruption like I used to, and it sucks really fucking hard because it's becoming more common instead of less
