Okay so I have a really specific question. Baseline stats? Except my character is already pretty sick, he's got room to get much much worse but right now he ain't great. He's in a fair amount of pain because he keeps having adverse reactions to painkillers from previous drug abuse and yeah. So what would normal baseline be? And then what would a normal baseline for him bc since he's got this illness. It's idk what you call it but one of the illness that get worse with time... degenerative. Except in this world he can be fixed with enough treatment but he keeps refusing said treatment. Yeah I don't really understand vitals and things so I didn't wanna botch it but based on the info what would you assume would be good? Also what's like the worse someone's vitals could be with them still awake and alive although the mental state can be real messed up. (: thanks hon

So our understanding of normal adult vitals include:

BP: 100/60- 140/90 mmHg (a measurement of pressure)

Pulse: 60-100 beats per minute

Respirations: 12-20 breaths per minute

Temperature: 96-100.4F or 36-38C

SpO2: 95-100%

Level of Consciousness: Alert and Oriented times 4 (can answer 4 specific questions about themselves and their environment)

Now, all these "normals" pretty much assume a healthy, white, 20-something male who has a BMI of 18-25 and who has been sitting quietly for at least 5 minutes. So basically very few real humans.

It's very normal to vary from these somewhat if you are exerting yourself, in pain, sick, or otherwise different from the above demographic. So if we're taking vitals, we want to control what we can (generally asking the person to sit relatively quietly for 5 minutes). If we do this and you're out of range, but we have no other data to work with, we will try to get you back into this range. Because again, it's assumed that to get out of these ranges, you must have something going on medically that needs addressed.

For example, if your blood pressure is 160/90 with a heart rate of 110 because you're in a lot of pain, we can correct that by treating whatever is causing the pain.

Now, there's not always an identifiable (or fixable) reason why someone might be out of range, and sometimes we just correct the vitals themselves because chronically high or low vitals may cause problems. For example, as far as we know right now, living for a long time with a blood pressure in the 180s/100s will eventually cause heart failure, stroke, or heart attack, regardless of the reason. So if we can't get that person back into range by fixing something else, we'll give medications that directly lower blood pressure.

But let's say someone's heart rate is in the 40s because they're a runner. That's normal for them. It doesn't cause them any problems, it's not caused by a disease process, as far as we know won't cause them problems in the future, and their other vital signs are in normal range. They are said to have a "baseline heart rate of 40bpm". That tells other medical providers who are working with them that there's nothing to correct there- ignore that weird reading and just fix anything else that needs fixed.

Baseline can also be used if someone has a chronic illness that is as controlled as it can be, but it still has an impact on their vital signs. Say someone has a heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation with RVR and their heart rate without medications is in the 190s or 200s. This may cause symptoms, but if we medicate to control that rate to between 60-100, it may also cause symptoms.

So we might give enough medication to control the rate to 110s, which minimizes the symptoms they experience but still puts them technically out of range. Their baseline, then, is in the 110s. Again, nothing to correct there, it's just normal for them to be out of range on that vital.

Or, someone might have dementia and be unable to answer all the questions that would make them A+Ox4, but maybe can only consistently answer 2 of them. We wouldn't necessarily be worried about that because we know that it's normal for them to be A+Ox2- their baseline, but we would be worried if suddenly they were A+Ox0.

You can also have other measurements besides vitals that are considered baseline stats. Like pain, or blood sugar, BMI, electrolyte levels, or pretty much any other lab value.

As far as what you are describing I don't know that I can give you specific baselines, as I don't know what his symptoms are or how they relate to vital signs. With chronic pain generally vitals eventually go back to normal (say someone rates their pain at a 5/10 consistently, over time their body normalizes around that pain level and other vitals may only go out of range if they have an acute spike in pain).

What I can give you is a few of the following:

Pain: All vital signs go up

Dehydration/blood loss/shock: BP and LOC goes down, everything else goes up

Kidney problems: BP and HR can change but in what direction is due to the specific problem.

Opioid overdose: RR goes down.

Heart problems: Change in HR and BP but directions can change depending on specific problem.

Lung problems: Usually RR and HR go up

Throwing up: everything goes up

Drug abuse and withdrawal: depends on the drug

Oh, the joys of viewing my soul-soothing shows with a loved one.

White Collar Free Fall

(Neal and Mozzie walking together)

My older sister GPDofTUN: I know him! I know him!

Me: The young guy or the older guy?

GPD: The older one.

Me: Probably Sex in the City. (NEVER willingly watched that show, just know Willie Garson is apparently known for it)

GPD: Why does Peter's wife look so familiar?

Me:.... It's alright 'cause I'm Saved by the Bell....

GPD: Ohhhh! That's HER??!

(Peter learns that Neal is hiding in his house)

GPD: (As Neal when he shyly shows himself to Peter) Hi, Daddy.

(She gets it!!!! 🥰😁)

(Peter hiding in the shadows when Kate walks in)

GPD: Oh my God.... He married Kate?!

Me: What?! No!

GPD: Ohh, she looks just like his wife. (I never noticed the resemblance between Kate and El until someone pointed it out on a forum a year or so ago. It's hard to see anyone but Kelly when looking at El. In the far back of my head, Zack Morris changed his name to Peter Burke, darkened his hair and eyes, and joined the FBI . That's how he's so hip to Neal's schemes 🤣)

White Collar Vital Signs

(When Neal points out that Peter has to flirt with that woman all afternoon and it'll be a fun story to tell Elizabeth over breakfast)

GPD: He's definitely the kid. (As Neal) Mom, guess what Dad did!

Me: 🥰🤗

White Collar Home Invasion

GPD: That's the girl you like, right?

Me: Yep, Alex with her sexy self.

GPD: That's not the one he's been looking for?

Me: Nope, that's Kate.

GPD: So, why did Peter tell Alex he's FBI if Neal didn't want him to?

Me: Just being a dad, embarrassing him wherever possible.

GPD: Ohhhhhhh, right.

Don't kill yourself.

Do become a tutor in White Collar 101💛

Who are the sentinelese?

They are the inhabitants of North sentinal Island in the bay of Bengal in the Indian ocean.They are considered to be roughly around or below 500.

They are hunter and gatherers .they mostly use bows and arrows to hunt terrestrial life.they donot have any contact with the world so they are considered to be dangerous.It is report that American tourist had died making contact with the sentinelese .

First people that make contact with the Sentinelese

An Indian merchant ship called the Nineveh ran aground on the reef. 86 passengers and 20 crew managed to swim and splash their way to the beach. They inhabit there for three days before the Sentinelese evidently decided the intruders to chase away the passengers.

Can we make friends with the Sentinelese?

An Indian Anthropologist Trinok Nath Pandit, working under the Indian government, landed on North Sentinel Island. They found only hastily-abandoned huts. The people had fled so quickly that they left the fires still lit outside their homes. Pandit and his team left gifts: bolts of cloth, candy, and plastic buckets ,other then them few other Anthropologist like Madhumala Chattopadhyay also make contact with the Sentinelese.

Hi, Jus! Probably that's unexpected but it came to my mind today: are your Dean and Cas from Vital Signs that type of couple who can take a bath together? Have some soft moment, a conversation, or just enjoying being next to each other. I've read enough fanfics already but this idea was only in one fic and one little drabble as far as I remember. So maybe you could write it someday? If you're interested. Or consider it for another story? Of course I immediately thought about this kind of scene in Parachutes or Patient love - seems more suitable - but these stories are finished already. Thank you!

Oh actually that just gave me an awesome idea for Vital Sign lmao, I'll definitely incorporate it at some point!! Look out for it :D
