yea that what i mean by jesus work

2018-07-20 03:35:00 UTC  

A lot of what he did was what are called swallow evaluations.

2018-07-20 03:35:34 UTC  

That is when someone had a stroke they would call him in (after recovery, etc).

2018-07-20 03:36:03 UTC  

He would administer a battery of liquids and foods starting with water and moving in thickness.

2018-07-20 03:36:30 UTC  

Kinda like the Mohs hardness scale, but for food.

2018-07-20 03:36:57 UTC  

He would feed them progressively more and more solid foods until they choked.

2018-07-20 03:37:22 UTC  

So a lot of his work was basically getting as close as you could to choking someone to death without actually doing it.

2018-07-20 03:37:28 UTC  

damn liquid food status

2018-07-20 03:37:42 UTC  

he was the one that decided what kind of food someone could safely eat.

2018-07-20 03:38:00 UTC  

That was his job. that and teaching them to talk again. If they were lucky.

2018-07-20 03:38:18 UTC  

But that wore on him, and he was not pleasent to be around growing up. Unfortunatly.

But he almost died a couple times, and now he works with kids. Those things improved his mood significantly. The kids love him, and they have a much better prognosis for recovery.

2018-07-20 03:39:28 UTC  

i could def see that not being a good job for mental health

2018-07-20 03:40:37 UTC  

Right before he quit nursing home work there was a bad flu outbreak at the nursing home he was working at. 50% fatalities.

2018-07-20 03:40:54 UTC  

the company literally had greif counselors on site for the employees.

2018-07-20 03:40:59 UTC  

thats some black pilled shit

2018-07-20 03:41:20 UTC  

almost died how

2018-07-20 03:41:36 UTC  

A really bad heart attack, which he made a complete recovery from.

2018-07-20 03:41:41 UTC  

oh

2018-07-20 03:41:48 UTC  

i thought you meant patients tried to kill him

2018-07-20 03:42:21 UTC  

Folowed a couple years later by a MRSA infection in his lungs (he never smoked, but has the lungs of a chain smoking coal miner anyway)

2018-07-20 03:42:34 UTC  

zombies bro

2018-07-20 03:42:41 UTC  

zombies

2018-07-20 03:42:57 UTC  

((((the flu)))))

2018-07-20 03:43:09 UTC  

I mean before the infection he had bad lungs. They thought they were going to have to remove one of them at one point, but then they didn't need to.

2018-07-20 03:43:25 UTC  

Before he was even 55. But he's been good since then.

2018-07-20 03:43:50 UTC  

Though he looked like a walking corpse for my bro's wedding (six weeks after the heart attack)

2018-07-20 03:44:09 UTC  

Second scariest thing I've been though in my adult life.

2018-07-20 03:44:29 UTC  

for sure broham

2018-07-20 03:44:47 UTC  

seeing a love one suffer is bad

2018-07-20 03:45:28 UTC  

Yeah, but he made a remarkable recover. Doctors told him that if it wasn't in his chart they wouldn't believe he had a heart attack.

2018-07-20 03:46:53 UTC  

hell yea

2018-07-20 03:47:28 UTC  

Though on the topic of his work almost killing him. Because he works with folks who are one way or another, young or old, not all there mentally. It is not considered a good idea for men in his line of work to wear long sleves. or a tie.

2018-07-20 03:48:59 UTC  

oh?

2018-07-20 03:49:20 UTC  

Last story about his work. Back when he was in private practice I was working for him. (this was decades ago) This guy came in who would not stop talking about his experiences in Vietnam. He seemed to be mostly fine, but refrenced everything back to Vietnam.

2018-07-20 03:49:57 UTC  

lost my prostate in NAM

2018-07-20 03:50:01 UTC  

He was seeing my dad for a TBI related to falling off his roof.

2018-07-20 03:50:10 UTC  

So here's the thing.

2018-07-20 03:50:13 UTC  

too a vitvongo hooker

2018-07-20 03:50:31 UTC  

He was in his thirties (in the 90's).
