Anaesthetic Technician 

Anaesthetic Technicians mainly work in the operating theatre with anaesthetists (specialist medical doctors), they are also called to other areas of the health care facility to assist in cardiac arrest situtations or with patients who could arrest if not treated appropriately. They assist the anaesthetist in managing your airway...if you don't breath, you die and when you are anaesthetised the drugs generally make you not breath, some people are easy to maintain an airway on & others aren't and patients will die if their airway is not patent. Anaesthetic Technicians combine clinical and technical knowledge & skills to help ensure things run smoothly when you are having your surgery!
If you have a car accident and suffer massive trauma and are taken to a hospital emergency department and the staff are finding it difficult to put an airway tube in your wind pipe they call the anaesthetic team that includes the anaesthetic doctor and anaesthetic technician. Who will then also transfer you to the operating theatre and try everything to keep you alive while the surgeon patches you up. The anaesthetic team will then transfer you once you are stable to intensive care, staff there will continue the good work the anaesthetic team started.

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
