Is this worth reporting?

I got blood drawn and informed the person that I have a history of fainting and/or puking. Despite the warning I was not offered to lay down, and I went along with it in a seated position not knowing better. I immediately felt lightheaded and verbalized this, then when my vision started to black out I informed them. I was told to lean my head back against the wall so I did, then I fainted. I woke up because I fell forward, and then I puked not long after sitting up. The blood draw was not stopped during my fainting episode. I thought nothing of the whole ordeal until the next day where I now have extreme pain on the back of my neck and head, which made me realize I got whiplash from falling. Was the person performing the blood draw at fault for this? Do I contact the hospital to describe my experience? I’m in Oregon.

Native PNW plants for a shower bundle?

To start off, I’ve been wanting to do a eucalyptus bundle in my shower but haven’t found any local sellers of either the potted plant or the clippings. Rather than buying a bundle online (of this nonnative plant) I’m wondering if anyone has made them with native plants they foraged while out in nature?

I live in Oregon and I’d hope to collect some aromatic native plant cuttings in this region to hang off my shower head that would make it a bit more fun and relaxing.

Even if you live elsewhere I’d love to hear what native plants you have hung in your shower, or maybe this will give you the idea to do so and I’d love to hear how it goes!

New here - Questions!

Hi!

I’m a 26 year old female in the PNW who’s been seriously interested in vanlife for the past 8 years or so. After living on my own for almost a year in an apartment, I’m seriously considering vanlife once my lease is up. This would free me up from paying $1600 a month in rent, allow me to complete my masters degree remotely, and be present in nature. I almost jumped into the van life route a year ago after moving out of my parents, but at the time it seemed too intense for me. After a year in an apartment it’s starting to sound like the perfect fit.

I know it’s not all sunshine and rainbows, but it seems like the most feasible option for me as I cannot keep up with such high rent prices and other costs of conventional living.

I work in environmental conservation, which is mostly seasonal jobs. Vanlife will allow me more work opportunities without the hassle of moving into short term rentals.

My questions are:

How much do you spend per month? And on what? Assuming free campsites and not supporting a family (solo).

Best place to purchase a used van?
