The prize is a surgery scheduled in advance to remove necrotic tissue from your back.
This is not a problem for a healthy person, which is presumably why he didn't need surgery to remove necrotic tissue from his back.
If you lay in onr spot all day every day you WILL form bed sores. End of discussion.
While true in most cases, that doesn't apply here. They were allowed to have books, their phone, and a break every 8 hours to use the bathroom. Succesptible people can form pressure ulcers in that time frame, but a healthy person with normal circulation and skin, and absent from moisture and friction, will not get bed sores.
This is the lying down competition, not the bedridden and in a coma competition. No post performance surgery required, or else the $350 prize doesn't go very far...
Hi there, hello, it's me, professional bed layer. For a year or so now I could only leave my bed to go shitting. No bed sores.
There's a difference between laying completely still and changing your position every few hours.
Then do as Limp Biscuit told told you I guess, idk why yall feel the need to tear down a perfectly good joke.
Best I can tell this is a laying down competition, not a laying down in the same position competition. And they get bathroom breaks. So yeah, seems like you could really stretch this thing out.
Sure, but the prize money stays the same. So not stretching it out but just aa long as needed is much better here.
I mean I’ve been laying down since 2 years but I don’t exactly have a choice
Honestly. Who has the time?
A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.
This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.
Be excellent to each other
Absolutely no ableism. This includes harmful stereotypes: lazy/freeloaders etc
No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.
No denialism or minimisation This applies challenges faced by chronically ill people.
No psychosomatising psychosomatisation is a tool used by insurance companies and governments to blame physical illnesses on mental problems, and thereby saving money by not paying benefits. There is no concrete proof psychosomatic or functional disease exists with the vast majority of historical diagnoses turning out to be biomedical illnesses medicine has not discovered yet. Psychosomatics is rooted in misogyny, and consisted up until very recently of blaming women’s health complaints on “hysteria”.
Did your post/comment get removed? Before arguing with moderators consider that the goal of this community is to provide a safe space for people suffering from chronic illness. Moderation may be heavy handed at times. If you don’t like that, find or create another community that prioritises something else.
