This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

They didn't say they were holding steady at ideal levels.
But they did say they were happy they were holding steady. But it doesn't tell us if they wanted it dead or alive.
TBF you can't get more steady than dead.
I work in 911 dispatch, at my agency our calls are assigned a priority from 1-5, 1 being the most severe, 5 the least
1 and 2 are considered high priority, you're getting all the lights and sirens and everything, 3-5 are low, on the police end of thing a priority 5 is pretty much just us giving information to them, not something they actually need to do anything about, maybe they need to drive by and check on something, and maybe make a call afterwards to to public works or something to have them deal with an exceptionally bad pothole.
On the EMS side of things what that looks like is
1- pretty much what you expect, cardiac arrest, shootings, choking, traumatic amputations, etc.
2- honestly most of the EMS calls we get are a class 2. Things people need to go to the hospital with some urgency, but aren't in immediate danger of expiring on the way there.
3- these are sort of the "you really called 911 about this?" calls. Like, sure, you should probably get this checked out, but you probably could have driven yourself or gotten a friend to take you to an urgent care, it probably could have waited a few hours, and the doctors probably just gonna tell you to take some Tylenol and take it easy for a few days.
4- this is basically psych patients. Physically there's nothing wrong with them, they're just mentally unwell
Which brings us to the point of this rant: class 5- obviously dead people. They can't get any deader, so no real rush. They basically just need someone with some medical training to go out there and go "yep, that's a corpse" and maybe check up on the family member who's having a panic attack over it. Doesn't get much more stable than that.
As a result of this "Class 5" has also entered our jargon as shorthanded for a dead person. So much so that some of our local news stations have picked up on it, if it's a slow news day and they're listening to the scanner fishing for a story and they hear "class 5" they might get a little nosey about it (I have a friend who worked for one who told me that after I started working here)
It probably costed some 100k just to pay the guy that designed the look and feel of the interface and obviously they had medical advices on the matter (common knowledge really).
The patient is going through merging with a symbionte, most patients (test subjects) died.
Of course they are happy to read anomalous but stable vitals.
I think you're really overestimating how much they'd pay a handful of random Korean guys for a few days of their time.
What I meant is it's not rushed. I also don't doubt that the boss of said Koreans made a hefty sum by landing a contract with Disney.
I honestly don't think that they paid that much. Most of it is probably just some stock animation that they bought and use, rather than anything specific.
100 million budget. It's almost a million a minute and you think they slap stock animations for close up plot points and run the risk of having 5% of the audience going "those number are silly wtf am I watching"?
Yes, absolutely. The big bucks are for A-listed actors, executive producers and gigatons of cocaine, not nerd fan service.
That's literally what stock animations exist for lmao
They exist for fast or budgeted productions.
I feel dumb just having to argue that.
Only a handful of movies like Avatar gets actual effort put into fully custom fake interfaces, where the producer has a big vision. But even most other blockbuster releases don't get that. Fast & The Furious with a dozen movies in the series? Nah. Anything where what's on the screen is just filler will simply not get a big budget for interfaces. Even for big budget movies.
Looks pretty steady to me. Not optimal, or good, but steady.
This is why most medical dramas are irritating.
its why most of them dont show the actual vital readings , or the machine is not even on.
One of the many reasons why, yes.
136bpm is fine if the person is, understandably, anxious.
Is a person capable of anxiety if they're missing a fifth of the oxygen they're supposed to have?
IIRC 95% is like "you should probably talk to the doctor" territory
95% is the lower limit of being fine.
80% is "You should go to a hospital. No, I mean by ambulance"
For reference, I have what my doc calls "emphysema light" and was just in the local doc-in-a-box for my first go-round of COVID. My blood O2 was 97 and I felt short of breath. 80 sounds like I wouldn't be moving under my own power.
Indeed. "Thanks" to be being a frequent flier in a global company I got Covid already in March 2020 and was constantly checking my oxy values. Never got below 91, but if they had hit 90 I was told to take an ambulance right away.
Oh yeah, I mean, that's fucked. I have no idea what effect that'd have on your heart rate.
Is a person capable of anxiety if they’re missing a fifth of the oxygen they’re supposed to have?
Yes. Based on seeing a family member in that predicament, I'd say they're capable of extreme anxiety at those levels.
Yeah, but kudos to whoever the UI dev for CONTAIN.MOD.C12 is.
If I had to guess the taskbar icons; Dashboard Mode, Fullscreen Mode, Report View, Directories, System Management, Power Management, Home, Settings, Shopping, Trash.
Up top looks like all the controls you need for the chamber to open and close doors, set temps, change vitals views...
Dunno what's up with the primary monitor not adopting the dark UI theme, but that happens with GNOME some times.
But now every client thinks 3D drawings are the ultimate interface. In reality it just takes up screen real estate and drives up costs. Especially fun when they want something changed and get a pretty large bill.
What's the issue? Death is also a "stable condition".
Maybe the most stable.
I mean thats pretty good for someone going through whatever sci-fi thing that was happening
Yes, if the heart rate were 60, that would be a lot more suspicious. Even if the procedure hasn't started yet, I'd expect the subject to be fucking scared. I don't know if the O2 saturation makes sense for what's happening, but it might. If your entire body is being taken over by a symbiote, any readings might be possible.
Those numbers aren't too far off from what I had the last time I read hospitalized for a nosebleed.
In wolverine origins a character stops their heart with hydrochlorothiazide because it's a cool sounding word
In reality she'd slightly drop her bp and probably have to piss
I watched that movie right after I started as a pharmacy tech. Stuck with me.
What about a kilogram of it?
It doesn't say they are GOOD, just that they are STEADY. Steadily bad is still steady.
