3rd time is a charm! 🙂 Welcome to the best thread on SDN: The Random Non-MCAT thread--PART 3!

This is a place to chill and talk about anything besides the MCAT. 😎

Server... must... work... faster...

Your random link of weirdness for the day, via fark.com, is this role-playing gem:

SuperBecca

Since I stupidly used the word "wow" twice in my previous post, I take this as a sign that now is the time I am supposed to ask beary which WoW server she plays on.

I got the game about a month ago but I just haven't gotten into it.

I'm on Khaz Modan!! We should play together. I would be happy to start a character on your server, or you could start one on mine. 🙂 I have a 53 tauren hunter, a 18 human paladin, a 13 undead rogue, and a 12 night elf druid. (Obviously I spend 95% of my time playing the hunter).

Heh. I have a couple of characters (I'm a confirmed altaholic) but no one past 10 or so.

Perhaps I'll roll one up tomorrow on Khaz Modan!

Semi-random question: Is peritoneal dialysis standard for infants or is hemodialysis an option as well? Why would you pick one over the other?

i'm not sure molly but i dont think babies can take hemodialysis, the pressures involved are just too high for a newborn. i'm pretty sure thats why the babies are on peritoneal. great question though, i wish i would have thought of it this afternoon! 🙂

in general though, when choosing between peritoneal vs hemodialysis in adults it all depends on the patient. if the patient lives in a rural area far away from a dialysis center, peritoneal is a great option. its also great for patients who just dont want to take out all the time to go through the hemodialysis sessions every week, peritoneal can be done at night while you sleep and then again during your lunch hour for example. thats what i remember from the lecture a year ago. some patients just cant handle that much self care though, i'm sure you know what i'm talking about since you have healthcare experience so for those hemodialysis is a given.
 
Dayum people! I am gone for a few hours and you shut down the thread and are like a kabillion pages into Part 3. Hello?

beary, you're speaking another language. 😕
 
Goodness, Arsenic, it's going to be hard to pass you if you keep posting more than I do.

:laugh: :laugh:

Well, that was funny in my head, at least.

WARNING: Molly has a very strange sense of humor tonight. Please take all necessary precautions.

whole pages? what a superachiever. I'm lucky if I get a paragraph in, and those are usually filled to the brim with abbreviations.

EI sucks. If you're audited and don't have measurable goals with supporting data for each session, you end up having to pay back the money you were paid.

In their eyes, limited documentation = no documentation = erroneous claim = recoupment.

When asked what I could add to a class to make it more diverse - I can educate on the rigors and painfulness of billing, denial, rebilling, red tape, half payment.

I will!

So you like the dark side, huh?

LOL, I just finally got City of Villains, too. I'm going to plunge myself into darkness... I'm wearing black on the outside because I'm black on the inside...

Going to go play some NIN now...

😀 😀 😀

I thought the responses were very interesting. In the first 24 hrs. the poll turned out exactly how I thought it was going to, but then it shifted and a lot more guys were saying no and a lot more girls were saying yes.



Obligatory sexy smiley. 🙂
 
Arsenic said:

Horde RULES Alliance in battlegrounds.

I lost an honor rank already just since I started residency. 🙁 I am in a hardcore end-game guild and there are folks in my guild that PvP 12+ hours/day, 7 days a week. :scared:
 
Arsenic said:
how hard is this game beary?

Well, I think that's one of the great things about WoW. You can get whatever out of it you want. You can have low level characters and just do little local quests that take very little time. You can do huge worldwide quests that take a lot longer. You can spend time in battlegrounds playing against other players (this is what I spend most of my time doing). As you progress towards level 60, most folks start spending time "raiding" which basically are quests that require up to 40 folks working together.

I was going to take my tauren to 60 (which is going to take a long time - leveling really slows down around 50) and then just work on honor and switch to other characters. But they're coming out with an expansion pack raising the level cap to 70 and adding a whole new continent.

Not to be punny, but WoW. 🙂

That's crazy. I enjoy gaming, but I'm pretty casual about it, and I'm certainly not a min/maxer... I just like to have fun and not worry about whether or not I could get another 0.00000001 DPS with a different build.

I thought I was sort of hardcore, but folks in my guild take it to a whole new level. 😱 I agree, I just play for fun. It's not a job - I don't want mandatory guild meetings and raids. I just spent a bunch of gold though on respecing my tauren to try to get a better PvP build. 😳

Didn't mean to imply that there's anything wrong with trying to make the best character you can!

And, heh, I've never seen a gold piece in WoW.
