ADRENALINE DUMP? EMT SAYS, “IT’S A REAL THING”

I’ve never heard of an adrenaline dump in this context: After an emergency situation you feel a need GO. An urgent need, but it’s during an emergency. If you’re wondering, ‘But Blogger D, what’s the big emergency?’ I’ll paint the picture:

SHIFT TALKERS WORK OVERTIME

Shift talkers like to mix it up, change things. Some do it for the better, some for the worse. They all have one thing in common: Not knowing how and when to shut up. For that we should be thankful?

BLOGGER PROBLEMS: AN AUTHENTIC TAKE

  Blogger problems come in the same package as any other problems. And they get the same initial response: What. The. Hell? After all that calms down, writing begins. For example:

MEDICAL ADVICE TO IGNORE IN AN EMERGENCY

Medical advice is wasted on hypochondriacs. The problems they bring to an appointment change by the end. “It hurts when I do this,” turns into, “It hurts when I don’t do that. But now it’s something else.” Sound stressful? It is. It’s always something else. How do I know? Please continue.
