I also picked fruit punch for both pregnancies. Almost vomited with the first and was trying not to heave in our kitchen. Husband said, "Don't vomit cause then you have to drink it again." Solid motivation tbh

I'm very fortunate it doesn't make me want to puke because I had to drink it 3 times in my one pregnancy alone.

I literally started retching and commanded myself not to throw up.

Speaking of CVM parking frustrations

Update

(For reference Dr. House is the dean)
 
I have my glucose tolerance test this AM…. I almost puked drinking that vile glucose drink….

Will report back if I pass
Fingers crossed! I remember I had to do a barium contrast CT once and I nearly threw up the chalky substance they made me drink, I can’t imagine the glucose one it sounds awful.
 
...........this is my reminder to buy my parking pass for next semester if there are any left lol

Oh man, I have memories of this because I did end up throwing up. I could handle the flavor but the amount was just too much at once.

I mean the glucose drink is gross but it's basically extra sweet flat soda.

Chalk sounds worse to me.

Although as far as "medical substances that suck the most to drink" I'd like to nominate colonoscopy prep.

Oh no, I’m so sorry that must’ve been so stressful! I remember sweating while trying to drink with an entire waiting room around me staring at me 😅

The sheer amount of chalk drink you have to chug!!!! It’s what got me too. I only got through about 1/2-3/4 and walked up and told them if I drank any more the waiting room was going to get a show 😬

At least the barium swallow -while worse to drink in the moment because of volume - only haunts you once.

Colonoscopy prep haunts you at least two times.
 
Apparently the second years have had lecturers not show up multiple times this semester as there’s no parking!
Okay, well things must be even worse now then, because even on bad days at 9-10am I could always find blue parking at that skinny triangle overflow lot across 16th. It was just annoying having to walk the couple of blocks, and then I’d forget I had to park in overflow, leave and walk out to the lot back behind the VAB, then realize I didn’t park there and have to make the trek all across vet med and over to overflow.

It’s definitely gotten worse since every class is now at the expanded size (150). The overflow lots are routinely full.

idk, I've had a lot of colonoscopies courtesy of Crohn's and I don't feel like the prep is that bad?? but I've always just been told to buy a gallon of a clear juice that isn't read and just dump an entire bottle of miralax in it.

I'm jealous. I was given a gallon of what tasted like thick sea water.
 
Not me getting into debates on facebook groups about seeds vs pellets for budgies and people saying vets just say to use pellets because of corporate greed like 😭

Thanks, yall can keep your krazy kool aid and i will listen to the actual medical professionals lmfao
 
Is apple juice with miralax acceptable because if I need a colonoscopy like the GI doc thinks I do I’m asking for that lol
I've never done apple juice bc I like it and don't want to ruin it for myself, but I've done similarly colored juices and always been told my prep was fine.
 
I want someone to make a Scrubs vet med version
Ugh I wish! I feel like it could be a well-produced Youtube series or something. If only our humor wasn't so niche and dark...

Here beloved pet bird, enjoy your ALL FAT DIET.

If you really want to cause someone to short circuit, hit them with the 'but I thought seed oils were bad?' and watch them combust

Yeah it was FOUR DIFFERENT MODS going on about how avian vets are bad and don’t know anything and budgies need seeds (WHICH I NEVER SAID THEY DIDNT. In fact originally i was specifically talking about my bird that is supposed to be on pellets BECAUSE OF HIS GI ISSUES). I ended up just leaving the group cause like, i get tired of people constantly being like “make homemade electrolytes for your sick bird instead of taking it to the vet 🥰🥰”

Like believe me i know small birds are fragile and stress easily, and i’m very scared of putting my guys under anesthesia but like. Saying a board certified avian vet is a crook trying to peddle pellets just for money was an insane take

Our overflow lot is getting dangerously close to full now since our class sizes are much larger now too and we share it with undergrads + employees. I've been on the waitlist for 3 different lots since I started school here and I'm still in the 130s. I fear the day I might not be able to find parking 😭

Ya I had to leave the hamster subreddit and discord server bc the people are brutal lol. God forbid you feed a perfectly good and balanced diet but because it's not imported from Germany and costs $50 a lb and isn't aesthetically pleasing you're abusing your hamster 😭 Like guys my hamster is a selective eater she needs lab blocks to get all of her nutrients thx
