  • Love a great movie, but the hardest itch is best scratched with a mini series. By that I mean a series that is a finished story in one season. Sometimes they add another season, but it’s almost never as good as the stand alone first season.

    It’s the perfect medium I think. Long enough to tell a full story and not leave too many details out (like in movies) but also to the point and finite, not like a series where you’re already watching season 8 because you feel like you have to, just to see the ending of a story that might never come.

    Examples are: Band of brothers, Chernobyl

    TL;DR: Mini series is the best of both worlds IMHO.




  • As a nurse who worked 10 years on the vascular surgery ward: very recognizable. I’ve seen people, mostly males, go from small toe infection to complete rotting foot and still not being therapy loyal.

    Surgeons somethimes refered to it as the salami technique because once you start to amputate the toe in most cases a couple of months later it would be a front foot amputation, followed by an lower leg amputation (most times because of infection or because the patient didn’t follow the post-op instructions) and even sometimes an upper leg amputation. Very sad to see.

    I’m not native English, so I don’t know the correct terms for the amputations.
