the most alive I've ever been

med people are so annoying "This family's 8 year old child who was about to go through a major surgery and kept crying that she was hungry so they pitied her and gave her food, she then had a heart attack in the surgery. They're so stupid 😒" girl they didn't know that could happen or why it happens. it takes so little time to explain to them that will happen instead of telling them "no food" with no explanation 10 times

"Before surgery, your body’s reflexes that protect your airway are relaxed by anesthesia. If there’s food or liquid in your stomach, it will near certainly come back up and go into your lungs, which can cause choking, a severe lung / heart infection or even a heart attack. That’s called aspiration, and it is life-threatening. It's hard, but it's only a single day to prevent near certain death. Not eating or drinking beforehand massively lowers the risk and helps prevent these life threatening situations under anesthesia." <- TIP: patients have brains which allows them to receive information just like you

Yankey Doodle thrums in my soul

i think he knows he’d better lock it down or i won’t stick around. girls, i don't need to catch the bouquet to know a hard rock is on the way. are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me? it's just a game, but really, i'm bettin' on all three for us two. you looked at me, got down on one knee. your mom’s ring in your pocket. he knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said, “marry me, juliet”. we could get married, have ten kids, and teach them how to dream. i talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress. all they keep asking me is if i'm gonna be your bride. i take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover. seems to be that you and me, we make our own luck. i like shiny things but I’d marry you with paper rings. you could be my forever-night stand, honey. talking ‘bout your daddy’s farm and you were gonna marry me. friends break up, friends get married. church bells ring, carry me home, rice on the ground looks like snow. ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand? you said, “i do,” and i did, too. and then you say, “i want you for worse or for better”. i vowed i will always be yours. i just want you. take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle. i'm never gonna break that vow, i'm never gonna leave you now. the wedding was charming, if a little gauche. black and white, saw a ‘30s bride and two lovers laughing on the porch of their first house. and you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars, and why I've spent my whole life trying to put it into words.
