(no subject)
I feel like about half the reason why I'm not fussed about my rabies exposure event (poked myself with a knife while taking the head off a neurological cow that turned out to be rabies-positive) is because all veterinarians are well-versed in the risks and procedures and pathogenesis of rabies (and we're all vaccinated too), but the other half is because I really don't value my life/self very much at all. My main concern is that on the 0.001% chance that I *do* develop rabies, I don't transmit it to Albert or Cat... and I'm surprised anew every time someone else expresses preference for me being alive than dead. Like, as an intrinsic thing. Like, why?
My brain is weird.
(also of all things to make a public entry about... lately it seems like I've mostly been doing friends-only posts, the infrequent times that I post at all lol)
Edit:
Oh yeah, funny thing that happened while getting my first post-rabies-exposure prophylaxis vaccination (because I'm prevaccinated I only need two, 3 days apart, so I'll be going in again on Monday) - the nurse and I were confused because after she reconstituted the vaccine powder, it was still clear... we're both used to pink vaccine solutions XD So she called up their pharmacy just to check, and they said it was just from a different manufacturer that makes 'em clear instead of pink. For a good five minutes or so, though, the nurse was all "um have you ever heard of clear rabies vaccines before?" and I'm like "well all the rabies vaccines I've ever seen for animals have been pink..." XD;;;
