Omg I react the same I have an after shock when I see pain or blood. It started after I watched the movie where the guy gets stuck in a canyon and cuts his arm off. I forced myself to watch it happen and now I'm traumatized and it's been years. I do wound care and have done it many times. However pain and cutting or piercing into skin makes me pass out. I went with my sister last week for her LP as I hadn't been before, I remembered I had this reaction once we were in the hospital room, I almost blacked out twice because there was a lot of blood and I knew she was in pain(she said this was the most painful she has had as she goes every few months and at one time has had LPs every second week so this was unusual.) I also only told her after I almost passed out although she saw my face react as it looks like an exaggerated wink when the passing out feeling happens

Sounds like the men are the issue. Maybe try celebrating on your own. You deserve peace and happiness on your special day.

Jules Sheppard

This broke my heart, you deserved better! Happy extra late Happy Birthday!

hi new to patreon here, so i’m binging on some old content since i’ve been commuting to the office more. my bf gets me flowers almost weekly, sometimes he even goes out and picks them from a field himself. the last story has inspired me to get him some on my way home from work today! as a woman, you never really think to do that for your man, but he likes flowers! i’m loving the extra content on here!

Tiffany Leandro

Morgan! You get me tearing up when your voice starts cracking on stories. I love getting my husband flowers. Men like flowers! I also agree with Justin. Anytime I’m in public I try to give out a compliment or start a conversation with a stranger. It lifts mine and their moods!

I no longer celebrate my birthday because every year it goes horribly wrong. Just to name a few incidents: ex husband took another girl out on a date on my birthday while he was supposedly with his parents recovering from surgery. Boyfriend talked on the phone for 45 minutes with another woman 2 years ago after a terrible dinner. Last year my mom showed up to distract me from my bday - bday dinner wound up cancelled and she yelled at my boyfriend and told him to dump me. In her defense, he didn’t even get me a gift. One year I had nobody to show up to my bday because I was the new kid in school. .. it’s always been something. So I’m to the point that I no longer even want my birthday acknowledged, because it’s just sad to me.

Justin- just wear a helmet to the birth. You’ll be fine. 🤷‍♀️

Yall…the main episode for this theme…the dog in the car story got me HEATED. OP was doing the coworker a favor and her attitude towards the dog was fkn disgusting. If someone tossed me that attitude about my dog being in the front seat I’d be like “yes bitch, my dog is more important than you!! I’m doing you a solid—get over it!!” 🙄 The dog DOES deserve more respect than that bitchass coworker because of her attitude.

About the birthday thing: My work colleagues have this thing that for people’s big birthdays (20th, 30th, 40th, 50th) we all contribute a little bit and we get them a larger gift. It’s really nice typically, and we book a restaurant and take the birthday person out to lunch as well. Throughout the last 3 years, I’ve been a part of every single one of their birthdays (and there was one year where 3 of them all turned 50 in the same month… it was expensive, but still something we all did)! It’s something to look forward to and to make you feel special. Well, end of June I turned 30. Guess who got absolutely nothing. No card, no gift, not even a message or note to signify the day. I know they remembered because one of them is the assistant for the owner and I got the official “happy birthday, I value the work you put in!”-email she sends on his behalf for everyone’s b-days. I know I shouldn’t feel some type of way about it, we don’t give to receive etc. but I honestly just feel… sad. Like maybe I thought these work friendships were more than they were. Like maybe I cared more about all of these people than they ever did me. Idk. I haven’t shared this with anyone, because it feels so silly to be sad about, but figured this was maybe the only decent place to put these thoughts just to get them out I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️ If you read this far, thank you! I appreciate you, and I hope your day is lovely!

I don’t even know where I remember hearing about men never getting flowers but I’ve known it for a bit. I get my husband flowers every once and awhile. I even got him roses to reference the blink 182, “work sucks, I know. She left me roses by the stairs. Surprises let me know she cares” 🤍🫶🏻

Dharma Marquardt

My labor and delivery nurses saved me from having a traumatic birth. I thank them so much more than the doctor who came in at the last 2 minutes just to catch the baby

We had a code black at the hospital I worked at during the Boston Marathon bombing. It was a high stress week and was the worst code I had working there

Amelia

Nice compliment/moment: I was in the ED waiting to be admitted and a woman was sitting next to me balling, I had overheard her say “I think I’m miscarrying,” so I offered that she could hold my hand and let her know I was here for her. When waiting to be admitted to the in-patient unit for diagnostic testing, I had the kindest nurse who I complimented for her Mario pin, and we spoke about Nintendo games while she was treating me. Even when you’re in pain, it costs nothing to be kind to others. Good moment for men: As you can tell from the above, I’ve been having a terrible month due to my endometriosis and am awaiting surgery, and my husband has been taking amazing care of me like a superstar. I keep checking in with him on his own mental health, but will order him little gifts like the MTG LoTR magic cards as a surprise every week as a thank you and appreciation gift. He always responds with, “I’m your husband, it’s my job to take care of you, and I love you so much”, but I’ve heard enough stories from THT to know he is exceptionally and I’m truly so lucky to be loved so deeply. He lights up and shows me all of the cool cards in the deck and explains what they do. I truly couldn’t get through this without him and am so thankful.

Amelia

Last story was great for men’s mental health month 🫶🏼 A friend in my nursing school cohort took his life on Tuesday and I can’t help but wonder if his funeral will be his first time receiving flowers

Mel

I complimented a lady on her dress (it was dinosaur print) and you could just see the way she lit up and got excited to tell me where it was from and show me that it had pockets 😂💕

Hailey Hoffman

I come from a divorced family. My husband and I had a court house wedding a year ago when my dad was in town with his parents. My grandparents on my moms side refused to come to the dinner we had after to celebrate. Would have loved for an ideal co parent situation to have happened growing up so I capfuls have celebrated with everyone all at once

Madison Ryan

I’ll never forget the first time I got my boyfriend flowers just for fun. He was so excited 😂 💕 I left him roses by our front stairs with a note that had that Blink-182 lyric. He dried them and has them displayed in our house.

When Morgan cries, I cry.

hannah marlene

fuck i knew that last one would completely wreck me

T.K.A

code black at my hospital was for bombs. code gray is used for aggressive/violent people or patients. i think it’s pretty universal for all hospitals now because all the hospitals i went to in nursing school used the same codes.

katherine

thank you! 🩷

katherine

Makes sense! That must be soo confusing if you work on multiple floors!

Jess Miller

It might have to be and I've shocked I havent done it sooner lololo

Two Hot Takes

Yes so triage is different than overall hospital codes that they call over the loudspeaker (at least where I was) so checking on my old ID badge today.. a code black was a bomb threat. You may be thinking of a black tag during triage.

Two Hot Takes

Is "Worms in the Brain" a potential theme coming up? Seems to be on Morgan's mind 😅😊 I mean, I'm here for it for sure!

Aspen Nova

I think Code Black is when “resources” at the hospital are limited and then triage becomes different than if not limited. IE, too many sick/injured ppl for staff and/or ORs. I think this is when they start making decisions about who they give resources to. Think about covid. Doctors overwhelmed and understaffed. Some started making decisions about who to treat, based off of age, pre-existing conditions, etc.

Jess Miller

Justin! My dad is a 6ft bodybuilder type. He instantly fainted at my birth. Stayed out for my sister... my mom didn't want the nurses ignoring her again to comfort her "poor husband" lol. But he has trauma around hospitals. No shame in passing out but as soon as you're back make sure focus is on morgan (I get the sense you guys have your priorities straight)! Such an adorable couple!

Michelle Chrishop

Happy birthday ❤️🎉 I hope it was a magical day!

Two Hot Takes

i just listened to this and the last one brought tears to MY EYES! today was my birthday and birthdays are always hard for me. but especially these past few years since i have been dealing with health issues. that was such a sweet post and just what i needed to hear today! the small efforts really do mean so much. 🫶🏻

katherine

Hi hi welcome :) So it says what the tiers include when you join. I can't do ad free episodes because of my contract. We have a variety of different new bonus content depending on what tier you picked. So say you picked the middle tier you would get 4-5 bonus stories a month as well as a full episode thats about an hour long. If you have any other questions feel free to message me!

Two Hot Takes

So was I wrong in assuming that by joining Patreon we’d get the weekly episode without commercials? So Patreon membership is just super short “free” stories? 😬
