Anyone got the scoop on raincoats over there—is there any way to buy them, or are they giving them away for free by any chance?

Don't sweat it too much—you’ll basically only be out for bits and pieces at a time. You'll mostly just remember small fragments of everything, and honestly, you won't feel a thing. Also, I think staying at a local clinic like Arcadia Medical Center makes the recovery way easier because of the side effects—you don't deal with nausea, you can breathe on your own, and you avoid that nasty sore throat afterward, etc., etc. Your doctor will walk you through all the details anyway.😉

Same here. I had my septum deviated about 10 years ago at Shalat—they did it under heavy local anesthesia (though, honestly, I didn't realize that was the plan beforehand). 😁 )

I was totally dazed—kind of like I "woke up" for a second while they were stitching me up. It didn't actually hurt, but I could definitely feel them tugging at something, so I think I started making some noise. Then I drifted right back off and finally came to once everything was finished. I was pretty spooked for a minute, which sent my pulse racing, but it settled down quickly enough.

Not every little thing in a hospital needs flagging, but we absolutely have to keep track of all the tests—mostly because patients are constantly being moved from one ward to another, sometimes multiple times in a single day. We need a clear trail of everywhere they've been, because honestly? Most patients have zero clue where they’ve been or even what kind of scans they actually had. When they show up at my radiology department, I need to know exactly where they came from, where they're headed next, and where those results need to be sent. It's just basic logistics.

My mom had an abortion about 20 years ago—this was after she had me, but before my brother and sister came along. Honestly, if you're seeing a doctor, the chances are basically zero, but still...

They’ll give you the full rundown at the shop as to why they skip the numbing agents—but honestly, Deep Relief is an absolute game-changer. I mean, let's be real, a tattoo IS a wound, for crying out loud!

What’s all the fuss about if the skin hasn't actually broken?

I think you’re going to have to wait a bit longer—I highly doubt you can just snap your fingers and make a tattoo disappear like you mentioned. You get these things for life, and you really ought to think twice before committing, though let's be real: people make mistakes all the time. Honestly? It's probably better to just get it reworked into something you actually like. Go find a top-tier studio and have them fix it up. If you decide to go the laser route instead, just be prepared—you’ll end up with a white patch right where the ink used to be. Not exactly the best look, if you ask me.

From what I've heard, you can only do it with lasers—I don't think you can get rid of real tattoos the same way you can with those bio-ink ones...

So, why are you so set on getting it removed? Honestly, the whole process is super painful and crazy expensive—you might just want to look into getting the tattoo touched up or redesigned if you're over it instead.
