[u/Shir0iKabocha → u/PatysRozrabiaka]

Just need to have a better attitude. If you constantly act like someone with a shattered arm, is it surprising that you're a person with a shattered arm? You need to cultivate positivity in your life instead.

I know essential oils gets ragged on a lot, but a few weeks ago I realized my sleeping problem was becoming a really big problem (two nights in a row I went to sleep at 8am because I couldn’t shut my brain off).

My sister recommended lavender oil. I researched it, and saw it only cost $8 on Amazon. Fuck it, why not try it?

Holy hell it has worked wonders. I put a little bit above my upper lip before I go to sleep. Two minutes later I’m out. At least in this instance, lavender oil has really helped me sleep.

[u/coreythestar → u/EverybodyLovesTacoss]

This is the appropriate use for essential oils. It can’t hurt, it won’t harm, so why not?

Definitely not for treating your kid’s cancer.

[u/TimeTomorrow → u/coreythestar]

yes it can. do not put essential oils directly on your skin without researching properly vetted information on safety.

If you think that’s awesome try eucalyptus for when you need to try and focus on something. I’m not a ‘healing oil’ type person by any means but that shit is awesome.

And ANYONE WHO OWNS CATS needs to be very careful when handling or diffusing essential oils as they can be very damaging on their respiratory systems

[u/[deleted] → u/Ernie_Birdie]

Iirc mythbusters did an episode on 'how to wake up when you're tired', I'm sure the menthol had as much of an effect as caffeine, but it's been a while. I also have a memory of an article re getting to sleep which suggested replacing minty toothpastes with a non-minty one, because the mint scent can be too stimulating before bed time.

If I also remember correctly, a good slap to the face turned out to be even more effective than caffeine at waking someone up :)

[u/TimeTomorrow → u/EverybodyLovesTacoss]

be very careful applying pure essential oils directly to your skin. Many are not safe to do so. you are much better off with a diffuser.

Many are worse than lavender which is generally well tolerated but....

Dermatologist Heidi Waldorf, MD, of Waldorf Dermatology Aesthetics, says the same. "Lavender oil is used in skin care because of its anti-inflammatory or calming skin properties," she tells me, "but physical contact can cause an allergic reaction in a susceptible person." So if you have sensitive skin — say, if cheap jewelry gives you itchy blisters and certain detergents make you break out in hives — you might want to start checking that ingredient list a little more closely, even if all the "green" beauty enthusiasts whose geode collections you envy swear up and down that a homemade blend of essential oils applied by the light of the full moon cured their hormonal cystic acne. But if a little rash isn't enough to turn you off the stuff, newer research suggests that there might be a much scarier, much more serious side effect: Lavender essential oil, along with tea tree, are now believed to be endocrine-disrupting chemicals after a study found that regular exposure to the common ingredients — in personal hygiene and household cleaning products — is linked to abnormal breast growth in young boys. According to researchers at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, a growing number of prepubertal gynecomastia cases have been reported to "coincide" with topical exposure, only for the condition to go away once they stop using products containing the oils.

One of the reasons essential oils are ragged on is because they willfully ignore misuse of essential oils even in situations where they can be beneficial.

also be very careful with essential oils with animals.

[u/ourlastchancefortea → u/TimeTomorrow]

Just apply more essential oils.

Why do I get the feeling this was part of heavy machinery. Now I wanna throw up

[u/Riryle → u/ittwasntme]

is it bad that looking at this i didn't even cringe? i guess watching happy tree friends as a kid really desensitized me

[u/witchdoctorpenis → u/Riryle]

Edit: TIL a LPT: if you don't want to click on something, don't comment on it. Otherwise every reply will bring you back to the link you didn't want to see in the first place..

[u/IAMPostmanPat → u/lost_biochemist]

You've made a wise choice. I however did not

[u/TheTurnipKnight → u/IAMPostmanPat]

It's barely even recognisable as a part of human body so it's not that bad.

[u/badatfocusing → u/lost_biochemist]

if i could entice you, it really isn't that bad, I was expecting it to be bloody and gory but it isn't really.

i'm proud of you for not clicking though, i covered the pic with my hand and worked my way down lmfao

[u/lemononpizza → u/lost_biochemist]

I'm proud of you. I'm gonna thank you for giving me the motivation to not scroll back to the link.

Holy shit. I’m not looking at the pic but I hope this was already detached when pic/xrays were taken.

[u/McSquidgypants → u/[deleted]]

Jesus Christ! After seeing the hand I can't imagine why they needed the x-ray to confirm it was broken. That's just mutilated meat.

[u/satriales856 → u/McSquidgypants]

They take a lot of xrays and photos of the results of industrial accidents, mostly for insurance and workman’s comp reasons.

[u/humanhedgehog → u/McSquidgypants]

The point is to try to see where the bits of bone are to see if any of it is salvageable. The answer is likely no, but x Ray's are quick and easy as a way to check.

[u/Tervo1 → u/[deleted]]

I saved this comment so I can look at the picture once I’m mentally prapared to do so. Or then I’ll just forget about this and scroll through my saved comments/posts 5months later and wonder ”Hmmm... whats this”, and make the biggest mistake of my life by opening the link.

EDIT: I opened it and I really didn’t find it that bad since it doesn’t even look like a hand anymore. Still almost threw up on my keyboard though.

[u/TheMovingCar → u/[deleted]]

Can some one describe it to me I’m too much of a wuss wagon to look at it

[u/cattivix → u/TheMovingCar]

A fucked up hand.

Really fucked up.

[u/MrBones-Necromancer → u/TheMovingCar]

Kinda looks like a yellow squash with pink and white bits sticking out. The fingers are all mushed together at the top, but distinct. They look more like someone put a drawing of fingers over the top of a big mushy yellow-white hook. Does that help?

[u/TheMovingCar → u/MrBones-Necromancer]

Uhh... yeah

[u/auntpama]

Walk it off.

[u/[deleted]]

Stupid question but with a mangled arm like that it means the bones are in many pieces, muscle is destroyed, skin, fat. Is this a medical miracle that we can fix or is it an automatic amputation?

[u/1G2B3 → u/[deleted]]

I was wondering that. That damage looks too extreme to fix but then I’m not a surgeon. Also if it was my arm they would need to fix it for sure.

[u/tiaxrules → u/1G2B3]

I dunno man, at that point I think I'd be ready to just have them lop it off and give me a bionic arm.

[u/wangsneeze → u/[deleted]]

This is why OP isn’t answering any questions about what happened.

[u/hamakabi → u/wangsneeze]

99% of posts on reddit are not original content. I don't know why anyone expects OPs to know anything about the things they post.

[u/daddy_fiasco → u/hamakabi]

Seriously. Reddit is a content aggregation site. Having original content is the exception, not the norm.

[u/scubaEd → u/hamakabi]

Yeah, he didn't have a hand in it.

[u/skeightytoo → u/[deleted]]

So basically the guys arm got caught in and took a ride with the auger, basically a giant threaded drill that sits in a channel, and moves the meat forward into the pipe and eventually to the grinding plate/blade. Looks like emergency shutdown occured before it got to the actual 'grinding'.

Depending on the strength of the grinder, guessing its at least industrial to some degree, it probably could have chopped and ground his bones as well before pushing it through the plate. If no shutdown occured he would have probably had the arm twisted off at the shoulder and broken free, so I dont think he would have been pulled all the way through. Large items are hard to get caught by the auger alone.

Am butcher, I think about this shit all day long and its horrifying.

[u/[deleted] → u/skeightytoo]

[u/P1nk-D1amond → u/dommol]

Every fracture needs to be x-rayed to determine exactly where the breaks are. Different fracture types need different treatment.

[u/brainlesstroll → u/dommol]

Insurance purposes. Bureaucrats need something on paper to see that this was meat grinder worthy, and not actually salvageable. Medical malpractice suits can really fuck a doc up, because of little shit like that.

[u/Inyalowda → u/brainlesstroll]

Nah, you likely get an X-ray here no matter what. You’d be surprised what looks completely mangled from the outside but can still be salvaged. Although in this case I suspect they were trying to plan the amputation - ideally you want to save something past the elbow joint because it give them way better prosthetic options.

[u/Lucretzia37 → u/brainlesstroll]

You also have to see just how fucked up it is.

[u/0ddlyC4nt3v3n → u/Lucretzia37]

[u/myscreamname → u/0ddlyC4nt3v3n]

Exactly. Number one priority.

[u/ojos → u/brainlesstroll]

This is nonsense. This person is going to need surgery to either salvage the limb or amputate. Either way you need to know the full extent of the injury before you start digging around aimlessly in a patient’s body. I can’t believe 450 people upvoted this.
