Man dies while waiting for Disability Benefits: This video is a throwback to when my client, who was a retired teacher that had multiple heart attacks, couldn’t get approved for disability after waiting more than a year. That’s why I was a little emotional during my interview! He unfortunately passed away a few weeks later and his widow got the money a few weeks after that 😢

Daycare calls me. That's never good.

For them.

Daycare: "your son hurt his elbow and won't move his arm. Can you come take him to a doctor's office?"

Me (ex Special Forces Medic): "A real doctor is on the way to you now. I am 6 mikes out. Alert me of status changes."

I arrive at daycare. I locate the patient. 21 month old male. Scene is not safe. I drag the patient to cover and concealment behind a seesaw, away from the other small terrorists in the AO.

I begin my assessment. Blood sweep negative for massive hemorrhage. Mental status: conscious and verbal but confused (answers "dada" when asked for blood type). One breath every 2 seconds. Bilateral rise and fall of the chest. Strong carotid pulse, strong bilat radial pulse.

Teeth and tongue intact no blood no mucus no dip or foreign objects. Eyes PERRLA, negative JVD/trach deviation, C-spine intact upon palpation.

Heart sounds strong upon auscultation. Percussion negative for hemo-T. Abdominal quads normal upon palpation. Pelvis negative for book sign.

Arms and legs negative for crepitus. However, Patient indicates discomfort in right arm upon palpation and supination/flexion of the elbow.

Nursemaid's elbow.

I begin interventions. Supination/flexion technique complete at 1215. Palpable clunk on successful reduction. I write the time on his chest in Sharpie. I tape a popsicle to his hand and tell the patient to suck but do not bite/chew. I write "1 x popsicle (10g sugar)" on his chest in Sharpie.

I reassess the patient after performing interventions then package the patient for handoff to daycare/higher level of care. I yell at daycare over the Blackhawk in my head: "21 month old male!!! Nursemaids elbow!!! Treated with supination/flexion technique at 1215!!! Patient has 1 x popsicle onboard!!"

Daycare: "sir please leave."

Me: "you should have called my wife."

They found him!

Jonah, the dog who captured hearts after missing out on a hot dog during the Miami Marlins' "Bark at the Park" event, has been found and is headed back to the stadium for a dream day.

This is Edie. She was trying to catch her tail when suddenly things turned sideways. Legend has it she is still rolling to this day. 13/10

[Emmett B. Irwin @VoiceofMainSt]

I’m a Social Security Disability lawyer, so I call SSA quite a bit as you can imagine. Lately I would say that I am on hold for less time than usual. For whatever that’s worth

This is Ramsey. He is a mail delivery dog. Shipping is free, and while packages might not be handled with care, they are handled with enthusiasm. 14/10

[WeRateDogs @dog_rates]

This is Frank. He was getting checked out at the vet when he decided the appointment was over. Has things to do and places to be, but doesn't mind if you come along. 13/10

@AdamArchuleta The drill has value to teach breaking down from 10 yards out but not from 2 yards out like they’re doing it. And like you said, the tackle is almost always to the right or left, that’s the point of the breakdown! So you can explode quickly off of the right or left foot not both

[Emmett B. Irwin @VoiceofMainSt]

I hope they get help!

🚨Crews at risk in the Gulf🚨

Just heard from a crewmember on one of the 3,200 ships stuck in the Persian Gulf.

A ship called the local port authority requested permission to dock as they had run out of water.

They were denied permission!

Multiple ships are in the same condition, with stores, food and fuel running low.

Ports are overwhelmed and security is such that they are refusing permission for ships to dock.

Crews cannot get off and reliefs cannot fly in.

What is being done to address this matter @POTUS @SecWar @SecDuffy @DOTMARAD @IMOSecGen @IMOHQ.

@BeholdPaleH0rse No conspiracy. As a former basketball player I can tell you that he didn’t have time to take all his steps for that lay up. He had to take off one step too early because time would have run out if he took all of his steps. Everyone misses that layup except Wemby

[Emmett B. Irwin @VoiceofMainSt]

@NextNetworkJosh Assuming this is PFF? PFF also has Daniel Faalele as 44 out of 80-something guards. Might want to take this with a grain of salt

[Emmett B. Irwin @VoiceofMainSt]

I’ve been playing competitive basketball for a long time, at every level except pro. And never ever seen this

This is almost always a torn Achilles: player is not touched, plants to change direction and feels like someone hit his leg. Happens all the time in basketball. We all know what it is before the doctors even look at it. Prayers up for Ekeler, he seems like a good dude

[Jeff Mueller, PT, DPT @jmthrivept]

Austin Ekeler just tore his Achilles.

[Emmett B. Irwin @VoiceofMainSt]

Hilarious!

[YIMBYLAND @YIMBYLAND]

I'm obsessed with this dude on IG whose whole bit is frantically fixing manhole covers that have been misaligned with street markings lol
