I have severe scoliosis (which makes me very short) and you can get this surgery that's essentially an internal brace for your spine - the idea is they attach these sliding rods onto your spine, and increase the rod length over time/many years. Yes its painful, but It's significantly better/more medically advanced than the surgery I had to have, where they fuse your whole spine/vertebrae together with bone cement and keep it in place with rods and doozens of screws.

To answer your question regarding the snake episode, Steve and Roger became amateur snake hunters and planned to capture and sell snakes to make antivenom for money. Unfortunately, they failed at it and depleted all of Langley Falls hospital's antivenom inventory in the end. However, there's a fan theory that Roger was using the amateur snake hunter gimmick as an excuse to get recreationally high on antivenom at the hospitals. Fun fact: As silly as him being in the sack with the snake is, that WAS a legitimate punishment in Roman times! They'd pick a dog, a viper, or a monkey to put you in the sack with it before throwing it into the water

Properly made absinthe contains wormwood, however because it is distilled after the wormwood is added. The psychoactive compounds don't get distilled over, however the aromatic oils carrying a lot of the flavor do (it also doesn't bring over as many bitter components, making real absinthe less bitter than fake absinthe). From my understanding, this is how true absinthe has always been meant to be made. The oldest recipe I can find says to do so. People who make imitation absinthe where the wormwood is added after distillation have made psychoactive drinks if the wormwood concentration is too high, although it would also be intensely bitter, tasting more like Malort (which uses wormwood as well, but carries over much more of the harsh bitterness).

@Leapingriver no, the body will fix broken bones by filling in the gaps between the broken ends of the bones. So they use an external framework to hold the bone exactly a small distance apart in the correct alignment to have the bones fill in the gap just right that tou end up with longer bones. You wouldn't be able to do it if the patient had issues with healing, obviously, and the older you are generally the slower you heal. It probably would never be done on a child unless they really had to for the child's health.

Doesn't EVERYBODY know Black Mambas are slightly greenish, and they're called "Black Mamba" because the inside of their MOUTH is a really dark purple, almost black... Yeah, easily in the top 5 most toxic venoms of the world. They hang out in trees and can hunt BIRDS, which get away if the venom doesn't drop them quickly... What makes them dangerous to humans is that humans also like to climb trees for FRUITS and the like (including raiding bird nests for eggs in some cultures)... AND disturbing a mamba leads to a "fight for your life"... This is also why a majority of Black Mamba bites (in their natural territory) are on the upper body or face. At the end of the day, they're still not particularly difficult to deal with. I still use my standard T-handled walking cane, rather than a specialized "snake hook" or other tool. When I started wrangling, those specialty tools were both prohibitively expensive, and damnably difficult to even find for sale...Walking Canes can be found almost anywhere, and even the medical grade (tested for weight, durable, warranteed) only cost $10 - $20 (US)... SO I don't have to worry so much if a cane gets borrowed/stolen, lost, or broken. It's readily replaceable... ;o)

Not trying to be anti limb lengthening surgery or anything, just trying not to set up false expectations either. whether it's worth it or not is probably a very unique thing, each person gets a choice, and some are happy and other's aren't.

If the degree of curvature of the spine is 40degrees or more then usually surgery is recommended because as the person keeps growing the spine will continue to grow at the curve getting worse as you grow therefore the curvature will continue to get worse so it’s preferred to use surgery and/or braces. I was close to 40% and didn’t get the surgery & now I’m paying for it with a lot of pain. I wish I’d had the surgery when I was younger but I might still get it depending on how long I can stand the pain.

I was braced all through middle and high school and eventually had surgery in college, and the determining factor was because of the spine affecting my breathing, pain, headaches, and low self-esteem from body image issues. Aside from just curve, my spine was actually torquing, and that played a big part in the health decisions I made. I luckily had access to doctors that specialized in scoliosis, but I also met with doctors who clearly knew little about it along my health journey. I remember one doctor looking at my x-rays and saying he didn't think I should be having any pain. Um. Okay. Well. I Do (did). Spinal fusion ended up being great for me. some people see it as limiting, and it can be and is not for everyone every time for sure. And recovery was a long journey. But for me, compared to how limited I was before, it actually helped me to be more active, healthy, mobile, and independent ultimately.

A teacher I had in high school told us about how his daughter had had to undergo spinal fusion when she was in her early teens. She obviously didn't grow any taller afterward so she's still under 5ft but other than that I believe she had a decent recovery.

@kamillagunzinger4162 8 ай бұрын

@@yaboicolleen It sounds like she *possibly* had a progressive condition or something. One of the reasons I didn't get fused until college was because my curvature growth was slow--and if possible they wanted to wait until I "stopped growing." That has got to be hard.

My uncle got a job doing snake venom research, and he asked why the person before him left. He had snakes at home, and one night he got passed out drunk (he may have been an alcoholic) not realising the enclosure for his python was open. You guessed it, he got the squeeze. Good thing my uncle doesn't drink alcohol.

I live about 8 miles from the Midwest medical serpentarium. They provide anti-venom to most midwestern hospitals, and have on hand breeding populations of all known venomous snakes. Back in 2012 the manager was bit by an actual Black Mamba while retrieving samples for testing, he spent nearly a month in the hospital and since it was his 5th bite from a Black Mamba was restricted from any further contact with venomous snakes due to the damage done in the 8 minutes he took to get him to the hospital and treated. Basically after 50 years as a hunter, collector and provider of medical supplies from the most dangerous animals and plants on earth his body was unable to take any more damage. The wonderful man passed in 2019 from lingering damage done by all those snake bites and his son now runs the organization.

I legit just asked someone if absinthe really makes you hallucinate yesterday. So thank you for reading my mind and providing me with the answer 😂

@stephaniet1389 Жыл бұрын

It actually doesn't. Thujone only has a mild stimulant effect and the amounts that are in absinthe are very small. The problem with absinthe is that some will drink it without watering it down correctly, and absinthe can have alcohol levels anywhere from 40-80% alcohol by volume. Also, past adulterated absinthes contained nasty chemicals like copper sulfate and ammonia. Modern absinthe is pretty good if you like anise flavor, but just like any alcoholic beverage, please drink responsibly.

I like how the snake clip had other things wrong with it yet Dr. Mike only talked about the medical stuff. I excepted nothing less 🤣However, my 2 comments: 1. If wilderness shows have taught me anything, it’s that if you’re gonna grab a snake, grab it by the back of the head because you want to control the dangerous part 2. Roger’s paper said, “definitely poisonous.” Food, beverages and things you ingest (orally, dermally, etc) are poisonous; snakes, spiders and other animals that bites you are venomous. There’s a difference! Also, absinthe isn’t the only alcoholic beverage made with wormwood. Vermouth is also made with it, the name vermouth comes from the German pronunciation of wormwood “wermut” (pronounced vair-moot)

@e-reptiledysfunction2243 Жыл бұрын

Rule #1, if u can't positively identify the snake and know for sure it's not venomous then just leave it alone! And there is no snake that has poison covering its body like a dart frog (I believe the frog secretes from glands but I could b wrong)... bright colors doesn't mean anything, there r 4 venomous species n the US, and only 1 of the 4 has bright colors, the coral snake... plenty of harmless snakes have bright colors, ground snakes, smooth/rough green snakes, ring neck snakes, San Francisco garter snakes etc... only way to really know if a snake is venomous or not is to learn about the different species

@snekkyboi Жыл бұрын

grabbing a snake that way isn't foolproof, you can still get envenomated! (sorry if it's spelt wrong, haven't written it much recently). there have been accounts of snakes poking their fang through the bottom of their mouth to get the person's hand! best advice is leave it alone unless ABSOLUTELY necessary, in which case you'd have to be a professional either harvesting for antivenin or relocating! I'd also like to add that snakes won't keep jumping at you like that and wasting their venom, they'll bite once and try to get away and might bite more until you let go if you didn't let go after that first bite. they wouldn't keep biting if you dropped them, and definitely wouldn't lunge their whole body off the ground to bite 😂

I did a report on snake bites where I talked to our local hospital staff about what to do - they said one of the most common bad ideas they see is people trying to bring the snake in so doctors can identify it. 1) if you have someone with you that can get a picture that is just as good, and 2) they do have anti-venom that works no matter what kind of snake it was. Don’t put yourself or others in more risk by trying to bring the snake with you or getting a good picture: just get away from the snake and get medical attention.

@seraphina985 Жыл бұрын

I would have thought they would note down all the information you have and get a herpetologist on the phone to help with identification if necessary. Even details like the location, time of day, habitat where the snake was found would presumably help as different species are likely to hang out or be active during different conditions and in different places.

@MartinFinnerup Жыл бұрын

There are no universal antivenoms. Some of them work for multiple different types of venoms, but none exists that work for all, or even anywhere close. You need to have at least a rough idea what type of snake it was, so you can give one or more antivenoms that you estimate to be the most likely. The rough location of the snake is probably enough in most cases.
