Nurse: says here you got an implant in your arm 5 years ago

Me: yeah the doctor said I wouldn't have to come back in 5 years to get it taken out

Nurse: it expired 2 years ago.

Me:

Nurse: it expired 2 years ago. I understand you did not come here for this but we need to get that removed. today. like right now.

Me: oh :( well i didnt mentally prep for the pain but if you give me a few minutes I'll be ready

Nurse: ....what do you mean 'pain'. We give you a shot. You're supposed to be numb

Me: uh last time I had this happen he took out the old one without that. He did it in under three minutes, he pulled it out and showed it to me, it had arm tissue still attached to it. One nurse held my arm down while he did it and I had to lay on the floor in tears afterwards. That's how it's always been

Nurse:

(yes, these are actually my own screenshots, I am in tears laughing)

DO YOUR ANIMAL EXPERTS HAVE TO UNTANGLE THE JELLYFISH

Category: Animals

Message (Required): Dear Monterey Bay Aquarium, My name is [censored for privacy] and I love watching your jelly cam libestream on Youtube. But I have a strange question, do the jellyfish sometimes get their ribbons/tendrils tangled with each other? They're so long and flowy, I can imagine them getting tied to each other accidentally. Does that happen? And if so, do your animal experts have to untangle the jellyfish? Thank you for your time.

Hello, [censored for privacy]

Thank you for reaching out!

It is completely normal for jellies to get tangled. This is perhaps a little more commonly on exhibit since it is much easier for them to get tangled with one another.

Just as the water motion causes entanglement, water motion is a also what helps them get untangled! When this happens on exhibit, our animal care staff will use an acrylic rod to gently agitate the water (not the jellies) to encourage some detangling.

Our jelly team also carefully monitors the capacity of the exhibits. Jellies with longer tentacles are fewer in number on exhibit. In a way, there is a set "capacity" for each jelly exhibit to limit the chances of the tangles becoming too intense.

We hope this information helps! Feel free to reply to this email if you have any additional questions and we would be happy to assist.

Thank you once again for your continued support by tuning in to our webcams!

Best,

Yesy
