You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Yet, even Hugh Laurie would know...According to the patient care report, the paramedics said that Paul had told them that Lapinski woke up during the procedure, started coughing and was given propofol. When Lapinski stopped breathing, CPR was started and the paramedics were called. After they arrived, according to the report, the paramedics found two pieces of surgical gauze in Lapinski's airway as they tried to intubate him.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
fvck that, that story just made me realize im keeping my wisdom teeth. There is so much calculation that goes into the concentration and volume of anesthesia used per patient its mind blowing. Why the hell would you sedate him MORE after coughing... when your air way is restricted you cough as his way. And there was two fvcking pieces of gauze trapped in his airway, really? God there is a reason dentists are failed doctors. Med schools didn't want them so here they are botching up peoples' mouths.Bible_Belt said:Usually, it's a little kid that they kill instead of an adult. Unlike doctors, dentists are allowed to be their own anesthesiologists. Putting someone under, keeping them there, and then bringing them back is no small accomplishment. There's a reason anesthesiologists are so highly paid and also must buy such expensive malpractice insurance. It's not the type of thing someone can master after a weekend seminar, which is about how much training a lot of dentists have with anesthesia.
