I lied. I have info. a lot. IS THIS AN EFFORTPOST? IS IT??
A 45 year old woman had a bariatric gastric bypass surgical operation. A few years before the operation she had a weight of 192 kg (BMI 65). Over a two years period she was able to reduce her weight to 149 kg. This preoperative weight of 149 kg was stable over the last four months before the gastric bypass operation. She had a medical history of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and severe psoriasis. She had also been hospitalised with erysipelas and ulcers on the lower extremities a few years prior to having gastric bypass surgery.
Though she received postoperative advice from a dietician about the importance of eating a vitamin rich diet, she continued with an insufficient diet in order to obtain further weight loss. Three months postoperatively she had lost further 20 kg in weight. At the same time she began to develop painful swelling, bruising and small ulcers on the lower extremities. She was hospitalised at the local hospital with fever one week after these symptoms appeared. Within the next 24 hours she developed purpura on the lower extremities and a sepsis like condition. Due to this she was transferred to Intensive care unit (ICU) at Odense University hospital. Within days she developed multiple organ dysfunction syndrome with cerebral, respiratory, circulatory and renal failure. It was necessary to intubate and ventilate the patient and renal failure was treated with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). To restore the circulation it was necessary to treat the patient with a large amount of intravenous fluids and vasopressor agents. Infected leg ulcers were suspected to be the focus for sepsis. After appropriate samples of blood and secretion were taken for cultures, broad-spectrum antibiotic was initiated. No bacteria occurred in the cultures and the patient showed no signs of improvement on antibiotic therapy. In contrast the changes in the skin progressed with increasing erythema, and ecchymosis forming a painful, confluent purpuric plaques and bullae. Minimal trauma to the skin resulted in petechiae and confluent purpuric plaques. It was estimated that 30% of the skin was affected by confluent purpuric plaques. As a result of these haemorrhagic bullae the patient was continuously bleeding from the skin. On the worst days the blood loss from the skin was estimated to be 61 per day. In addition to blood loss the patient lost a large amount of fluid from the skin-estimated on the worst days to be 201 per day. The patient's lips were covered with haemorrhagic crust but no major gingival bleeding was observed. Skin biopsy was performed. This biopsy showed diffuse extravasation of erythrocytes but no hyperkeratosis or “corkscrew hair”. The subdermal tissue was vital. A biopsy from the bone marrow was without any sign of malignancy.
Over the three weeks in the ICU it became obvious that the skin changes and the massive loss of blood and fluid from the skin were not in accordance with a diagnosis of sepsis. It was proposed that the massive bleeding from the skin might be due to scurvy. A blood sample for the analysis of serum-ascorbic acid levels was taken and the patient was treated with enteral ascorbic acid at a dose of 2 g per day. The blood sample showed a serum-ascorbic acid concentration of 6.6 (normal range 26 - 85 μmol per l). After two days of vitamin-C treatment the patient's condition began gradually to improve. The skin changes gradually disappeared, haemodynamics improved, the patient regained her renal function and could be weaned from the ventilator. A few weeks after the start of ascorbic acid treatment the patient could be transferred to the medical ward.

Tustin, California, United States
January 8, 2023
On Sunday, January 8, 2023, at approximately 7:32 a.m., the SAPD received a 9-1-1 call of a suspicious subject at 902 West Edinger Avenue, Santa Ana. The subject, later identified as Mejia, was reportedly walking down the street with a large butcher knife in his hand. The Reporting Party (RP) indicated the subject was bleeding from his hand.
In an interview with OCDA investigators, Officer Diaz stated that due to all the blood on Mejia and the knife in his hand, Officer Diaz thought Mejia had just stabbed or killed someone. Officer Diaz saw Mejia run toward Officer Newman and Officer Sanchez. It appeared Mejia was going to “attack the officers.” He stated he heard five to eight gunshots and was under the assumption that both Officer Newman and Officer Sanchez fired their handguns. He saw Mejia fall to the street, still holding the knife.
John Doe 1, one of Mejia's roommates, told Detective Schaller that Mejia was speaking on the phone the night prior to the shooting. This conversation was apparently between Mejia and his daughter who lives in El Salvador. John Doe 1 overhead Mejia asking his daughter for “forgiveness for what he did” and that he was going to turn himself into the police. Mejia also seemed to be acting paranoid by stating people were after him and accused his roommates of trying to kill his daughters.
Another roommate, John Doe 2, stated that approximately two months prior to the shooting Mejia had cut his wrist. Mejia was transported to a hospital where he stayed for almost three weeks.
On February 15, 2021, Mejia attempted suicide by driving his car into a pole. College Hospital Costa Mesa medical records indicated a history of suicidal thoughts and self-injurious behavior. As a result, Mejia was placed on a mental health hold for several days.

Spokane, Washington, United States
July 23, 1944
During World War Two war shows, like airshows today, were a popular way the military drummed up a patriotic spirit in local communities. The shows demonstrated military equipment to awe viewers and show just what all of the homefront efforts had produced.
Spokanintes were looking forward to attending the “Stay On The Job” war show on the afternoon of July 23, 1944. The show was conceived by Spokane air service command deputy commander Colonel Paul Schidecker to encourage the workers of the Inland Northwest to keep working to produce military equipment and vehicles. By having mock firefights and air battles to show how effective the equipment was in use along with how much wear and tear they underwent, the SPASC hoped to curve the high turnover rate the defense industry was seeing.
With the show beginning at 3 P.M., a crowd of over 100,000 viewers gathered in a natural amphitheater north of Spokane to watch the parades, weapons demonstrations, aerial maneuvers, and bomb droppings. About half an hour after the show began, during the parade of military aircraft the crowd's attention was called to three A-25 dive-bombers flying into sight. Moments later tragedy struck as two of the planes collided and fell to the ground, bursting into flames. The crowd initially believed the explosions to be a part of the show, which promised realism, but soon they began to realize just what they had witnessed. Crews rushed to control the fires, and after a 45-minute interruption, the show continued. The next day it was announced that four men died in the crash, two pilots and two engineers.
The deaths of these young men lived on, in a sense, in the 1956 science fiction film Earth vs. the Flying Saucers. Film crews recording the event caught the accident on camera and the footage of the two planes crashing and exploding became stock footage for Hollywood movies.

Back again with another mesh of noise for you all to enjoy, this time coming in the form of the wooden and steel mass of sharpened brutal death metal known as Brodequin. Formed in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1998 by brothers Jamie and Mike Bailey, Brodequins music is just as brutal and gruesome as their subject matter. If you're familiar with medieval torture methods, their name should be a dead giveaway in regards to the subject matter displayed in their music, as all of brodequins subject matter is tied intrinsically to medieval torture methods and themes of that effect. From the virgin of nuremberg to the duke of exeter, this band is packed full of references to a brutal, violent time long forgotten by modern man. The featured track, Strappado itself is a method of torture once used in the 1500's and onward, slowly phasing out over time. The following is an excerpt from wikipedia about the Strappado -
The strappado, also known as corda,is a form of torture in which the victim's hands are tied behind their back and the victim is suspended by a rope attached to the wrists, typically resulting in dislocated shoulders. Weights may be added to the body to intensify the effect and increase the pain. This kind of torture would generally not last more than an hour without rest, as it would otherwise likely result in death.
Other names for strappado include "reverse hanging", "Palestinian hanging" and il tormento della corda.
Artistic renditions of the strappado.
Even the bands name itself, “Brodequin” was also a medieval method of torture. Here is another excerpt from wiki in regards to its use -
The victim would be secured to on a stout bench in a sitting position. His bare legs were sandwiched within a set of three strong, narrow vertical boards, outside each leg and between, the lot tightly bound together with strong rope. Wedges of wood were introduced into any available gaps and slowly pounded down with a mallet, squeezing the legs with enough pressure to shatter bones and leak both blood and marrow.For so-called ordinary offenses, the torture was conducted with four wedges, while eight wedges tortured the legs of extreme felons.
Some artistic renditions of the Brodequin in use.
This crushing unit of sound has been dominating the death metal scene since its inception, garnering controversy occasionally from within the community at times for their non traditional logo, Brodequin is sure to put to rest any doubts about their ability to display brutality and violence through music once they begin to play.

Straight outta Knoxville.
