time to buy such equipment

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's expensive AF, I'm sure. The food is a far easier avenue (less fun, but far smarter)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Depends on how much you get...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It pays by itself. /s

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 years ago

Well now I want to do it

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I wonder how many times that happened before they put up a sign.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 years ago (1 children)

0 times. It’s likely a joke by a student specialist.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

ah, I should have known

It's honestly sad that nurses are so underpaid in the US that one could potentially imagine them doing this for free food.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I can be rich but if I know how to shake a vending machine for free food I'll do it

Actually this is in Canada; you can tell by the Hawkin’s Cheezies

Shitty ass snacks.

Endoscopy is through the mouth. That would be a colonoscopy.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh man... Good thing I'm not a doctor.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well a colonoscope is actually an endoscope, just one meant for colonoscopies. Endoscope is just a generic term for the tool. (endo- = inside/within, -scope = tool for viewing)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

And gastroscope is the type specifically for the esophagus and stomach.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The endoscopy scope and the colonoscopy scope are the same scope.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

How do you tell the difference between an oral endoscope and a rectal scope? The taste.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You never go ass to mouth!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

If you can go from ass to mouth then your scope is too big.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

That's correct! I recognise the lasso that as the thing used to sample polyps in the colon (and probably a bunch of other uses, totally including snagging chippie packets).

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

Or, you know, at least clean it first.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

"Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today."

You can just open them, all the ones at my Uni have tubular locks that can be opened as fast as using the key.

Is this picture from Canada, or do they sell Hawkins Cheezies anywhere else? They were my favourite snack as a kid, but I think they might only exist here in Canada?
