But yes I still agree with you - it’s so easy to shop healthy on a budget. Eye rolls are necessary for nonsense 🙂. I can't leave Chipotle without a side order of chips and guac.

My son says I should just play solitaire and eat popcorn at work all day until then. I'm at a university and can be casual, but no jeans (I don't even have a pair) except on Friday. I just try to be one step above the students. LOL, when I started at my current job, my boss was a professor and Associate Department Head. She wore jeans on the regular. Now she's an Associate Dean and is using Stitch Fix to polish up her wardrobe a bit since she has to deal with donors and bigwigs in this role. Most of the faculty are pretty casual. But the Chancellor and Provost and President are are around the corner, and their staff people dress much better than we admins in the Engineering school! 3 Link to comment

When weight goes up and down drastically like Sean, the heart gets confused. This can affect stroke volume, pre-load, afterload, blood pressure, and overall cardiac output. If the cardiac output and perfusion to the kidneys is affected, the renal system can also be damaged and enter compensatory mechanisms like fluid volume retention and electrolyte imbalances. Your pathophysiology lesson for today is complete 🙂. Thank you. I audit human subjects research, mostly biomed, and needed a biomed-type answer. 5 Link to comment
Ivylady June 13, 2019 Share June 13, 2019 Why is he hemming and hawing about staying in a facility? I thought that's what he wanted? Dr. Now is trying everything he can to help Sean, but it's not going to work. 😢 4 Link to comment
CircusPeanuts June 13, 2019 Share June 13, 2019 They showed him chugging coke from a 2 liter bottle. It doesn’t take a degree to know that is a rotten idea. I wonder how many he drinks per day? its clear he’s in a severe depression. He doesn’t have any skillls for connecting with people. He has no friends or relatives. He flat out said its hard to be home alone day after day in his apartment. This is so sad. What if we could be like a movie and bring his mom back to see what she caused. And then go back in time and give her a chance to turn things around when he’s a teenager. 7 Link to comment

Sadly, Sean doesn't want to get better. I don't think he know HOW to want to get better. 7 Link to comment
Julyolo June 13, 2019 Share June 13, 2019 2 minutes ago, Wanda said: It’s possible he was too far gone, weight wise, for psychiatric hospitals. They may not have been able to accept him We had patients bigger in the psych facility I worked in. I was the one the nurses would page when the patients wanted to walk around naked, and the nurses were too revolted or scared to confront them. I would tell the patient to put their clothes on. And they would. 1 6 Link to comment

Surprised Dr. Now/Paradise didn't suggest this. I wish, I wish, I wish that had been an option but............. as we have seen before, unfortunately with dearly departed Kelly when she was in a rehab facility, those types of facilities cannot prevent a patient from ordering in as much crappy food as they desire. Crazy but it is what it is. 1 3 Link to comment

String Theory June 13, 2019 Share June 13, 2019 2 minutes ago, Ivylady said: What psychiatric hospital would have been able to care for him? He's so big and bedridden, it seems impossible that they'd have the facilities available. Unsure, but my dad was an inpatient for several months at a psychiatric hospital - there was a guy in his unit that weighed at least 600 lbs., they'd need a bariatric bed and wheelchair etc.... it could be done, although I'm tired of listening to Sean, I wish they'd at least given him the opportunity to get care there. Dr. Paradise is great, but believe he's a psychologist - Sean needed to see a psychiatrist - he had major depression on top of everything else. 1 5 Link to comment

DEG9 June 13, 2019 Share June 13, 2019 Sean, bobila (sp?), most people who get sick of feeling scared do something about it - pick themselves up and move forward, with the intention of being a survivor/success.. Lying in a hospital bed and saying crap just for the cameras is not a strategy for living. Just sayin'... 7 Link to comment

Nice callback to "myriad"-the word Sean used correctly early in the episode! He's actually pretty articulate. I think he's bright enough. He has just had no intellectual stimulation. He's like Kaspar Hauser. 4 Link to comment

And I will take my gasoline-soaked everything, because my only thought about it is "good riddance!". I don't think a death wish can be corrected with an attitude adjustment. Neither can addiction. IMO Sean needed a very good in-patient psychiatric facility, where he could have received the kind of intensive mental health care -- with or without meds -- that would have given him a real chance at recovery. Sean really did need a care facility; he just didn't realize about the 'mental' part. 10 Link to comment
