u/Far-Spread-6108

I've been crying for the last 5 hours off and on and I'm probably not stopping anytime soon. So here I am. Talking to people who might get it.

Full disclosure: I'm not a nurse. But I was a paramedic and attended a certain amount of nursing school until I realized I'd hate it. I'm obviously still in healthcare. I love hearing about and learning about nursing. It just wasn't the right path for me to be one.

Obviously I don't want to disclose too much but the title is the situation.

This poor woman presented to TWO hospitals with lower abdominal pain, fever, chills and foul smelling discharge. She was DC'd from both without treatment.

She delivered the baby frank breach between presentation and ultrasound. 3 pushes. He lived for 8 minutes and a "foul odor was noted coming from baby and vagina".

I'm not saying he could have been saved. Probably not, by that point.

But he already had a name.

At first she didn't want to hold him. And then she touched his little head.

This isn't some case of a dumbass thinking "everything is a variation of normal" and trying some idiotic homeopathic homebirth. This wasn't a woman who wasn't getting prenatal care. This was a wanted baby. This was a woman turned away TWICE because doctors are too afraid to touch a pregnant woman.

Now she's in our mother/baby, septic, and her baby is gone.

And I can't stop imagining the discussion and events in that room.

Idek why I'm so upset. I mean, I do. But for what REASON did this happen? Even if she was going to lose her baby and nothing could be done for him by the time the infection was recognized, it shouldn't have gone down like this. Sometimes despite doing everything right, something just goes wrong. This was probably one of those times. But neither mom nor Baby C. deserved this. Not this way.

Thanks for letting me speak into the void.

I'm done. I quit. This is adding NOTHING to my life. I'm better off alone. And I don't even say that (that) bitterly. I just had the mother of all "What am I DOING this for?" moments this evening.

Matched with a man. Conversation was better than most. I wasn't carrying the whole thing. He was well spoken and intelligent. Dry humor which is right up my alley. Also in healthcare. HE actually suggested meeting first - I don't do that anymore either. I'm not going out of the gates setting up a dynamic where I plan everything and drag someone through a relationship they're not participating in.

He suggested a quick sandwich or coffee. I said let's make it a coffee, I can go straight to work after (I'm a night shifter). That also gave me a deadline if it went badly.

I just didn't know how badly it was going to go.

I got there a little before him although he was not late. He sees me, smiles, walks over. "You came in scrubs????"

Yes. I told you I was going to work tonight. (It's totally normal here to do that - this city is 80% healthcare. You'll see people in bars, stores, and restaurants all the time in their scrubs).

"Oh. That was definitely a choice."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"I would have changed at work."

"Ok that you. This isn't getting off to a great start, is it?"

"I'm sorry. You're right. Probably easier. What would you like?"

We order and our drinks come almost immediately. It's slow because it's late evening.

He's looking at me. STARING. Finally says "I hoped your hair would be longer than in your pictures."

I have a pixie cut. My main picture is ONLY color corrected and I edited out a pimple I had at the time. It's exactly what I look like. It's not filtered or AI enhanced. I don't do that shit. He knew what I looked like well before the date and was hoping for something else?

"Wow that's 2 things wrong with me. In 5 minutes. Is that a record for you? Why would you think I look any other way?"

"Some people use old pictures."

In my mind this is over. Part of me wanted to leave already, part of me wanted to see where he was going with this. At this point it's intellectual curiosity.

He asks me a couple questions about my work. I reach for my cup and he GRABS my wrist and goes "WHAT are these NUBS???? UGH!"

I played cello for almost 20 years. Long nails and cello don't work. Playing for any length of time leaves the average cellist with callused finger tips and shortened nail beds. I have nails and they're well groomed. It's just a side effect of playing strings. I also can't currently have long nails because I AM in healthcare. He should also know this.

Aaaaaand we're done.

I didn't say anything. I just got up and left.

Before I even got to the car he's bombing me with messages and asking me to CashApp him for the coffee and gives me his $. 🤦🏼🤦🏼

I'm not going to lie. It hurt. I know it was his problem. He was rude and probably a horrible, negative person. Even if he was thinking all those things, it wouldn't have hurt him to just be courteous and not go out again.

But WHY AM I DOING THIS?

This was an absolute waste of my time to "gain" nothing but self doubt.

I quit. It's not worth it. The effort is not worth the potential pay off.

These people are out there. He may be a minority but I know he's not the only one.

I don't understand how so many people walk around smelling like shit and expect to get dates.

I'm a woman that dates men. Just for context.

Guy at work I was a little curious about from a remove. Finally had reasons to interact with him and there was just this miasma around him. We're in healthcare so ok. It can happen. Rough shift or the end of his stretch working 12s and maybe he just wanted to sleep in. One day of not smelling great is not a crime.

Another night a couple weeks later. Again body odor. I'm starting to get the ick. Third meeting a while later and does this man EVER shower? Do laundry? Nope. Immediately no. Because what else isn't clean on his body or his environment?

He just ruled himself out without my ever knowing if he was an option or not. No desire to find out.

And you can TELL when someone maybe just woke up late or sweat more than usual, versus someone with consistent bad hygiene. If you have regular contact with someone, you also know the days thise things happened are the exception. Maybe they were rushed or abnormally tired or not feeling well but they're not the rule and it can be overlooked.

Another female coworker I have. Girl honestly seems like she has her shit together in a major way but there's shifts I have problems even working next to her because she always has some degree of this musty/sour smell. Idk if she leaves her clothes in the washer and they mildew, but sometimes it's barely there (although still noticable) and sometimes I can smell her just walking into the department before I've even seen her.

And she laments that she's "invisible" to men.

I haven't had the heart to tell her, nor is it really my place to say "Well one reason could be because you stink". That's for a good friend or family member. She's just a work buddy. And it's a shame because she's smart as hell, good head on her shoulders, confident, funny, responsible.... she'd be a catch. And I'd say she's at least average looking. But MAN there's days you can't get in 6 feet of her.

Not saying that you need to take an everything shower every time you leave the house or stash deodorant everywhere. I feel like everyone's run out to the store on a lazy weekend or popped in after the gym.

But scent is such a huge part of attraction, if you're looking to date it's such a basic, minimum thing to do.

At our big age it should be a no brainer. 20 yr olds douse themselves in cologne and then somewhere along the line people hit middle age and can't even shower anymore???

That or she works at a med spa

I ain't doing it anymore. I'm tipping AFTER like any other normal service. Because you can't even pull the tip without calling support. This is the stupidest shit. You don't tip your hair stylist BEFORE the service, get a garbage cut anyway, and then you can't get the tip back.

Especially when this is what happens:

I have in my delivery instructions to enter off "Townline" Rd. I know GPS likes to drop people on the road behind the complex because I'm at the back side. Instructions THEN say to call 7109 on the call box. It goes to an app where I can just hit the button and let them in. There is NO other way to do it without them dialing at the call box, however.

First the Dasher calls, immediately angry and yelling and says he can't find an entrance. Ok. He's probably behind the complex.

"Please read the directions. You need to come in by the main office on Townline Road. You're probably behind the complex. When you get in call 7109 on the callbox and I'll let you in. Go in the LEFT gate, go all the way to the end, take a right, building 7 is on your immediate left."

He's calling and screaming AGAIN about how he's by the office but there's no callbox.

Bro. Look to your right.

5 minutes goes by. Calling and screaming YET AGAIN about how I need to let him in. I told him to call 7109 on the callbox. He doesn't understand. Can I just let him in?

No. There is literally NO WAY.

Can I come get it? No. Absolutely not. I have a toddler, this complex is huge, it'll take me 10 minutes to just walk up there, probably 20 dragging a toddler.

10 minutes goes by. Guess what he's doing? Calling and screaming that he followed someone in but he can't find the building.

Yep. He went in the wrong gate. Drove clean out the other entrance and is behind the complex AGAIN.

Ok. One more time with feeling. Very slowly. He finally gets in.

Then he's banging on my door. Literally BANGING. Scares the hell out of my kid and both my cats.

"I NEED YOUR ID! I'M NOT LEAVING THIS! YOUR ADDRESS IS ALL FUCKED UP AND I'M NOT GONNA GET BLAMED WHEN YOU SAY YOU DON'T GET IT!"

I call through the door that yes, he's at the right place. I ordered 2 enchilada plates from "Taco Place", please just leave it.

More banging. More screaming. I literally thought this guy was gonna kick the door down.

My Blink is recording all this, mind you.

One more time, firmer. "Sir, please leave the order and go. This is completely inappropriate."

Neighbors are opening their doors wondering what all the noise is.

One comes out and tries to talk some sense into him. Dasher screams at HIM too.

THROWS the order at my neighbor. Food everywhere. Yeah no we ain't doing this. I am not a 911 caller AT ALL but we're in an open carry/permitless concealed carry state, I was a Paramedic and I don't feel like not getting my order AND dealing with a GSW.

Dasher is now screaming at my neighbor's door and escalating when the cops arrive.

DoorDash wouldn't refund the order OR give me my $10 tip back. $5 off my next order. I am not joking. But they did block that Dasher. Gee. Thanks. You mean the violent wackadoo that just got arrested outside my door?

Someone on FB said the tip isn't a tip. It's a BID.

I will not GAMBLE to get bare minimum service. I tip if the order arrives and they call or msg if they need to. It's not that hard. That's bare minimum expectations and that's FINE. I don't need cute notes and mints. Just give me my food and you get a tip. From here on out.

Is this what delivery service has before? You have to pay extra to not be assaulted? JFC.

Let it be known I'm very pro therapy. I've sought help several times for stresses and difficulties I needed help resolving.

There just seems to be a trend where EVERY difficulty or struggle is "Holy shit. Get therapy. Please seek help."

I stg the whole world is turning avoidant.

Your best friend being upset because they failed an exam is not a get therapy situation. Be a friend. Listen to your buddy. No, you can't fix it, but they want support from someone who genuinely cares for them. Not someone they have to pay to listen.

Your brother upset for a few weeks about his first serious relationship ending is not a get therapy situation. It CAN be if he's stuck and can't move on, or if he's dangerous to himself or his ex.

But breakups SUCK. They rock our self esteem. We feel unworthy and lonely and don't know what to do with all that time our relationship once occupied. That's NORMAL grief at the end of a relationship. And it lasts a while.

Go out and get some food or play a game with him. He wants to know his family still loves him.

Therapy is for emotions we can't resolve on our own. I actually did go see a therapist once when I myself was stuck on a relationship I couldn't move on from, despite not even wanting him back and truly wanting to move on from it. It helped me understand more about why and that it wasn't really about the relationship.

Therapy is for major traumatic events and huge losses. It's for breaking unhealthy personal patterns we've identified and want to improve. It's for managing stress or learning coping skills. It's for gaining self awareness.

Therapy is not a replacement for YOUR responsibility as a friend, sibling, or partner. If you think it is, guess what that person is going to be talking to their therapist about? How nobody cares and everyone runs whenever they express a need.

People can't handle difficult emotions or situations anymore and I think a lot of them need therapy so they're not running away at the first sign that everything isn't perfect in their day or someone else's, or that people sometimes make mistakes or have bad moments and aren't some idealized version someone else created in their own mind.

I am so SICK of seeing people across all of social media - here, IG, TT, FB, anywhere that people post their own opinions or content - get slapped down for even speaking.

It's one thing to disagree or dislike. Even strongly. It's ok to even use strong words as long as it is *about the topic or opinion*.

But people get dogpiled with: I ain't reading all that. AI. Get therapy. It ain't that deep. tl;dr????? Too long. Holy. Shit. Ad. Happy for you or sorry that happened. This shouldn't be posted here.

The list goes on.

So, you. The person reading this. Do you enjoy wingsuit flying? Do you think people should wingsuit? Can you understand why someone may want to wingsuit? No to all?

Well then CLEARLY you should go consume wingsuit content, tell them to shut it down because YOU don't like it, you think wingsuiting is dangerous and people who wingsuit are idiots and you don't want to see it. You don't have the attention span to watch a 3 minute video about wingsuiting. tl;dr???? Hey what brand do you like? AI!!!!!! AD!!!!!! Get therapy holy shit!

In any online space we're all going to find content we don't like, that upsets or annoys us, or doesn't appeal to us.

I watched someone on another sub lose their entire shit because they thought something someone posted was "hidden marketing". Why? Because their post history was private. Show me the rule that you shouldn't use the option Reddit offers, and if you do, then you're a bot, AI, or your posts are ads? That's THEIR opinion and rule. But they spun up for over 2 hours, eventually threatened OP and got themselves banned. Over something that may or may not have been..... an ad on Reddit.

This is what we've become.

It's OUR responsibility to choose how to handle that. A post is too long for you for whatever reason? Just not interested or maybe don't have the emotional bandwidth? Ok. That fine. But then it's OUR responsibility to scroll. Not tell someone "You shouldn't have posted this because I think it's too long"

You think someone is an idiot, they're saying something that upsets you, or the discussion is going nowhere? You can leave the content and/or block that person.

For some reason, and I have NO idea why, I get TONS of "autism Mom" content on my FB feed. I disagree with that and dislike it for a lot of reasons. When another account comes across my feed I just block it. It's their right to post it. It's my right not to want to see it. Lots of other people do. Then THOSE people can consume that type of content. I choose not to.

I have around 30 people blocked on Reddit. Because I just didn't want to deal with it anymore or in one case she was following me around to other subs. That's unhinged and there's not going to be anything productive done by engaging with her.

I don't go to subs about ideology I disagree with or topics I'm not interested in and tell them to shut down. "WHY would people keep ORCHIDS? *I* don't like this hobby. This shouldn't be here."

It's not the responsibility of the world and people in it to conform to what you like and don't like.

Dogpiling someone for writing 6 paragraphs without even reading what they said can be actually hurtful. "You took the time to say this. Well, just wanted to come through and say it's worthless to me."

I really wonder if this is how people are interacting with others in person. Coworkers? The public? Family? Partners? Because if you do this kind of thing, understand it's abusive.

If your partner or friend or sibling calls you up venting about their bad day, and you say "Hey just so you know I didn't listen to any of that"...... sit with that.

What you CAN say is "I can't talk about this right now. Can I call you tomorrow?" or "I'm really not the best person to ask. Dad might know though" and even in some cases "I feel like you need more help than I can give you. But I'll be happy to help you find a therapist/doctor/clergy member/whatever the situation calls for".

You don't get to be an abusive, self centered, entitled shithead just because you're not looking into someone's eyes or don't have a personal relationship with them.

People come onto socials sometimes because they have nowhere else to turn. They want to be heard. They want empathy and understanding. They DON'T need to hear "I ain't reading all that" if they're in a vulnerable moment.

If you can't do good, then at least don't do harm. It's not that difficult.

Some of y'all can't even be self centered correctly. You're wasting your own time and upsetting yourself trying to get people to speak or post how you want them to, or continuing to engage with people that aren't for you.

Title specified because I know this is something that people often take kids to but I won't be.

I want to get back into quad skating. I did it for years as a teen and young adult and got pretty good and happened to be talking to someone about it and had a "Why did I ever give that up" moment.

I've Googled and Rollercade seems like my best bet for a beginner/returning beginner - I have to assume some of the muscle memory is still there but who knows how much - and that looks like my best bet. Is that accurate? Anywhere else to check out or specifically avoid? Any established groups to join up with?

Full on rant. If you don't want to read something like that, you'll want to scroll now.

We're IN healthcare, right? We take care of sick people, right? And we spent a not insignificant portion of our day thinking/asking "Why didn't you/they come in before it got to this point?"

3 years ago I developed vertigo and double vision. Not suddenly or I'd have been more concerned, but I was still obviously concerned.

No medical care available. My doctor - my REGULAR PCP mind you - booked out two months for a "sick visit". Son by that point I'll be better or dead. "If you think it's serious, go to Urgent Care". Yeah so I did that. Check my ears, ask some questions "It's nothing we can figure out here. Could be neurological (yah I know that). Maybe go to the ER?"

Yeahno.

Call my insurance. Explain the situation. I'm actually scared. I don't think I'm immediately dying but like maybe I could be soon? Insurance sends me a list of providers taking patients.

......aaaaaaand it's useless. Private, as in individual, offices. Like some doctor's private office phone. After hours answering services. Pediatrics..... I'm not a child. Hospice. Hope I don't need that. Geriatrics. Honey I'm 39.

Give up.

I'm spending HOURS on the phone to not even speak to anyone. Nowhere that does answer can help me. "Sorry but you called the wrong place. No we don't have any numbers for primary care, we're a satellite office."

I can't do this. It's probably fine. It'll probably go away.

Ate shit 3 shifts later. Entirely fell on my face. The floor was just WHOOPS GONE. Our neuro wasn't having it and admits me. It's visual. He can't tell me why or what, but he gets it down to visual origin. Optometrist says he'll refer me to a neuro opthalmologist. Never does. "We'll let the team know you still need a referral". It never comes.

Longer story shorter, finally self referred to a Neurovisual specialist. $4k later and my car gone to pay for it, I got the proper glasses. Congenital 4CN palsy. Born like this. Gradually decompensated.

Wake up last summer with a petechial rash. Never have been able to get another PCP. Briefly consider going to Urgent Care. Where they'll draw blood and either I'm fine or I'm not. Maybe it's leukemia or maybe it's a bleeding disorder or hell, maybe it's a skin allergy, but there's not gonna be any care for any of that. "Follow up with your PCP". I'd have better luck traveling to Tibet and finding a guru.

It takes a month but it goes away. Maybe I'm fine. Maybe I'm not.

End up in my own ER 3 weeks ago for hypokalemia. Care Coordinator is supposed to call. Never does. I do, however, get called and subsequently charged for a visit with a doctor I was never informed about and have never heard of. Check spam calls and emails. No notification of this appointment.

Call the office and ask if I can still get in. No. I "no showed a new patient appointment". Bro I didn't KNOW about it.

No care. Again.

No paps. Never had a mammogram. Inaccessible. No providers that take my insurance accepting new patients. PLEASE can I just die of cancer because this is RIDICULOUS. Maybe I can actually get hospice care then because I can't die next November when they have a first available "new patient" appointment. I'm not even joking. I am going to die of something preventable or treatable.

And I'm no longer sure I care.

We have health screenings at work. This traveling service that then does a video follow up. They claim to "warm transfer" you to your PCP and "help those who don't have one find care". Cool. Let's try that.

My trigs are sky high. I'm probably going to have a heart attack. My BP is starting to creep up. I'm now in my 40s and starting to develop nagging risk factors. "We'll connect you with a provider".

Guess what never happened. I'll wait while everyone acts shocked. Repeat the insurance dance. This time with new insurance and a new job.

Same results. Inaccessible. No providers available. But I can go to Urgent Care or the ER. For what? BP meds? Statins? I'm supposed to go to the ER for medication follow ups?

I guess we just keep taking care of everyone else who can't get care until WE die. There's a fresh batch of healthy 20 yr olds just graduated that can work until they die of diabetes or heart failure or cervical cancer in their mid 40s. Then there will be more 20 yr olds to replace them.

Get this screening! This is almost 100% treatable now if caught early! Talk to your doctor if you notice this!

WHAT. FUCKING. SCREENINGS???? WHAT. FUCKING. DOCTOR????

I'm too young to die. But I'm getting too old to not have access to basic medical care.

But I guess I'll do what I did that landed me in the ER a few weeks ago. Ignore the exhaustion and the SOB and the weakness and the pounding heart until I legitimately think I'm having an acute MI and then maybe someone will take it seriously.

This is why we end up with rashes and sore throats and aches and pains and UTIs in the ERs. Because you CAN'T be turned away. If you're willing to wait long enough you WILL be seen and maybe someone can live with 3 months of pain or itching or low grade fevers but on night 97 of no sleep they finally hit the wall and can't take it anymore.

It's not because they're malingering or neglecting their health. It's because the system is broken and care is unaffordable or unavailable.

Oh well. Someday maybe I'll shit blood or that nagging pain in my breast that I've convinced myself in a pec tear will finally eat into my lungs and I can just call it. At least I'll be able to find an attorney to write a will before I bite it.

Easier than finding medical care.

Even if you work in it.

So let's stop collectively blaming the patient. They probably tried. For longer than was reasonable.

I know it's a numbers game. I know to take people with a grain of salt until or unless you get to know them better.

But, since dipping my toe back into the dating pool..... there's stuff in the deep water that bites.

The apps are useless.

I swipe left on 90% of people who like me. Mainly because they didn't read my profile. They're either religious (which is fine, but *I personally* don't want someone who prioritizes religion), they have young children (I clearly say "No kids by choice, ok if you have TEENS OR OLDER" and then they have a picture with a 7 yr old and they're "Dad to 3 amazing kids, 9, 7, and 4"), they have no bio filled out at all and/or no pics of themselves.

A couple weeks ago I started talking with someone who actually seemed to be a good match, at least on initial surface level. But the conversation then dragged on and on and on with no sign of meeting. I'm open to friends/just meeting people and I do say that in my own bio..... but I'm NOT looking for just texting buddies. So, major fizzle there.

In the wild has been no better.

Met 2 in the last few months I was into. One was giving every unmistakable sign he was also interested so I asked him if he wanted a coffee sometime that week.

He never answered, and in the weeks that followed literally RAN when he saw me. Walked the other way, left an event when I got there, totally over the top reaction. Just say no, buddy. Hell, lie and say you're with someone. You're gay. Whatever. I won't know the difference.

I guess I'm just that repulsive. The idea of a date with me is so horrifying to him he can't even stand to look at me anymore.

Went out with another, found out his last name, and find out he has a MASSIVE criminal record. It's all 10+ years old and people can and do change.

Except for, yanno, the multiple DV convictions.

I'd be willing to at least hear an explanation for the rest. People are complex and circumstances can happen. But I can't excuse intimate partner violence ever under any circumstances. That's a character issue. I'd be willing to consider that he went through a bad time, maybe even an addiction.

But I don't want a partner who has to explain why they beat their partner starting 3 weeks post partum, multiple times since their son was born (and violent partners usually reveal themselves after a major commitment, like a child or moving in together).

How do I know the exact timeline? Oh. There's all the family court cases for harassment injunctions and failure to pay child support too.

Then there's logistics. I work nights. I know night shifters and 2nd shifters exist. But you know how people say "If they wanted to they would?"

Yeah, well..... if I wanted to I would. I'm just not compelled to make the time anymore to meet anyone because it's all been such a bust. Do I want to meet up with someone else to find out they have 3 kids in tow and just left church? Do I want to find out I was almost a statistic again?

No. No I do not.

And I do realize that's me and I may be missing out on someone great.

But right now and for the foreseeable future? Leave me alone. I've paused the apps and I'm spending the evening catching up on some chores and then I plan to stream a movie a friend recommended.

I'm female btw.

Idk what it is but I moved to a new city 4 years ago and nobody here can do a short cut for women. I've tried barbers, salons, stylists, anyone that anyone has recommended and I end up with awful cuts every time.

Not just cuts I don't care for. Cuts that are awful on a technical level.

Doesn't help that my hair is a flaming pile of shit anyway and that's WHY it's short. It's fine but grows in dense and somehow the only way to deal with "bulk" is just get rid of it.

I've walked out of salons/shops with one side literally half an inch long and the other 4 inches because of "all that bulk". I've been down to skin - actually shaved bald - in the back because of "all that bulk". I had one stylist literally yell at me when I asked if we could leave the back a little longer and cut it even on the top because it doesn't fall in the same place all the time. "Idk what you want, I just can't DO anything with this. You have horrible hair that's never going to style. I can't work miracles!"

Yesterday I paid $90 at a high end alternative salon that came recommended to me.

Guess what I walked out with. A lopsided bowl cut. It only takes a glance at it to see it's crooked as shit. Almost $100 for it to come out looking like someone put a bowl on my head crooked and cut around it. The back has a tail that wasn't even touched and the sides are just a flap that's all one length. This is unfixable. Again.

I'm done trying. I wear a scrub cap for work anyway, as soon as I post this I'm shaving my fucking head. It's the only thing I can do anymore.

I have a friend who's a vet tech and I love cats and we always joke that cats are indestructible. We had ferals in our old hospital parking lot. One had a wound between his ears that had CLEARLY progressed to osteomyelitis.

He was fine. In fact, it healed. Took about a year, but he healed.

Another probably in end srage renal failure. Walking skeleton. Looked happy as anything. One of her cats had A CRUSHED HIP and she didn't know for a year. Adopted, must have been HBC at some point, she had no clue until he developed a minor limp. *A minor limp as the bone fragments started to fuse together*.

I tell her about this pt.

She goes "I didn't know you treated cats".

Because this guy came in walky talkie. Told his nurse how he was having "some abdominal pain and felt weak" and how he'd been to urgent care last week and they gave him abx but they didn't help.

I call the nurse to give the assortment of criticals and she says "That can't be right".

"Do you want to recollect?"

"No. I mean it's probably right. But it also can't be right because he's talking to me. Release it tho..... Jesus Christ."
