Eli5:why laying down on the bed for long periods of time in a day is not as dangerous as sitting down?
In: Biology
As someone who has frequented the hospital, trust me, it’s way worse. Nurses can and will bug the ever-loving shit out of you just to get you to move from the bed to a chair for 15 minutes, much less walk around the floor.
Not that I don’t appreciate it of course, just that you will absolutely be annoyed with all the things they do to keep you alive and healthy when you are in bad shape and want nothing more than to sleep. SCDs on the legs, incentive spirometer every so often, surprisingly painful lovanox shots, constant reminders to move. Bless them for being able to put up with what is probably pushback from patients. I never pushed back because that’s fucking insane behavior for a patient and I am not about to make their lives harder when they are trying to help, but I have been really, really annoyed lol.
