There is a guy out there walking around somewhere with a d*ck that he only still has cuz I called a friend on the rescue squad to come bring the heavy tools by the ER &pulled some real MacGyver shît that ended up saving his appendage😳
No I will not be elaborating on this at all
@RyanMarino
Given that there was apparently no medical reason for her 2b admitted while she waited to pass the products of conception (assuming no complications), what exactly was she supposed to do? I’m honestly confused as to what option she even had? Just hope this doesn’t stand in court

They billed me for 4 years after I cancelled an ex’s membership, claimed I never signed the form even though I did.

My wife got her vaccine with all of us frontline workers in January, about one month after her last period, with no idea we were pregnant. Our baby is happy and healthy and safe in large part because she got the vaccine unwittingly while pregnant prior to its approval &Thank God
Physicians truly are not overpaid, trust me on this one yall
The gross salary may seem large but after a decade as an RN at large academic hospitals I can tell you that I often made *>double* what resident MDs made in the ER &worked *half* their hours… for *4YRS* of residency👀
Because they spent over a decade to learn.
Because they made $12/hour for years (as physicians).
Because they put their training ahead of many valuable life goals.
Because they’re on call throughout their working years.
Because they advocate for us.
Because they save lives.

For instance, ppl in psychosis become victims of rape much more frequently than the gen pop for a variety of reasons, yet are less likely to be believed despite the increased likelihood of the occurrence
@squirebrocoRN
Sadly have seem this exact situation/injuries happen to a female coworker, then had to watch the hero male colleague who literally threw the patient out the door into some bushes (as security just watched it go down obvi) get fired an hour later for defending her. Heartbreaking

When I was growing up ranching cattle I brought a new Aussie pup home one day expecting to train him to work the farm, since he had just been weaned…
First morning woke up to see all the cows lined up head to tail against the fence going into the barn, pup nipping at the heels
@TPP_MD
I have ran into this dynamic at several points in my career, where bc ppl like me personally they were hesitant to criticize me or point out areas for improvement. I’ve found that actively soliciting feedback from superiors makes them feel more comfortable sharing objectively
@zukosmadre
So have you just only lived in cities or what? You realize that all animals came from “outside” right??? Country ppl have barn cats that live happy lives for decades. Obviously I would not let my cat run around NYC & some of the indoor ones I’ve had wounds died in <10min
Florida is providing $100 million to provide down payments and closing cost assistance to more than 50 professions when buying their first home. Beneficiaries include police, nurses and teachers.
Maryland has already professionalized it’s State Troopers, requiring bachelors degrees and giving them the type of pay anbennies you can raise a family comfortably with. Local MD County Sherrifs get ≈minimum wage. Difference in professionalism during my encounters was shocking
More and more, I'm convinced that the big policing reform we need is to professionalize the police, through massively increased training requirements and higher education levels.

My soul hurts for the young men who grow up convinced that any of those gurus know the first thing about what is required to become a stable, secure, honorable man

My hospital bought us all our own PAPRs (n100 powered HEPA) at the beginning of the pandemic when we started having supply chain problems with n95s.
Saved a ton of lives and money. My coworkers still got covid, but it wasn’t from work lol
@clairlemon
Yeah obviously public debate is cool and is good and all but that’s how you settle philosophical, political, legal disputes.
To settle scientific questions, you publish research and have it reviewed by your peers. This is simply put, the only way it can work.

I have this pet theory that video game culture created an insatiable need nationwide for increasingly complex RPGs that consoles simply couldn’t keep up with, leading the most radical among us, of all stripes, to upgrade to LARPing instead
@dumbbitchcap
I’ve saved a ton of babies (and adults) at work but none of that was a fraction as fulfilling as even the most basic interactions with my daughter…. I’m not sure there’s a job in the world that is meaningful enough to hold a candle to fatherhood

@jennifermayerle
Sure man, I’ve spent thousands on Uber to avoid losing my professional licensure and career or ending up in my own ER, but you just go ahead n do whatever you want and keep your job, no big deal.

Personally, making national merit scholars on the SATs took me from a trailer kid in WV to full rides at top schools nationwide. So if you take race out of it I can testify lol

This is why we changed our pain management protocol from “25-50mcg fentanyl IV q1h PRN” to “sprinkle just a smidgen of fent in your palm & blow it in their face like pixie dust, repeat until they forget what pain even is”

Oh, and btw. I’m your follower, not Kevin’s, and I place IUDs. I will not talk out of my ass on con law, and it would behoove you to do the same regarding medical interventions and practice standards you clearly do not have any understanding of.
@katewillett
Yeah if I invite you to a party at my house and you take the mike start insulting me and refuse to leave when asked, I can legally pick you up and place you gently down outside of my property, per California law.
That is literally not assault, in fact the criminal ☝🏼would be you
@christineist
This happened the other day with a woman I know. Shook me, like why tf would anyone ever say something so negative about themselves? I gave her some positive reinforcement but I could tell she read the look on my face perfectly & she knew exactly how taken aback I was to hear it
@datepsych
The most disappointing part about these comments is how many ppl apparently believe that this type of physique is only achievable via steroid use.
Like I’m 37, have never touched roids, lift 30-45 min 4days/week, I have a very dirty diet, and this is still pretty much exactly me
@RyanMarino
I had a patient who came to me on gaba 800 TID cuz her pain management cut off her norcos- she was falling weekly &somnolent, fam was considering SNF placement
I stopped her gaba &got her new PM&R, now shes back to fully independent on one norco 10 daily, no falls &sharp as ever
@charlesmurray
I got my vaccine the first day it became available. I recommend and order it for almost all of my patients. I am as pro vax as they come.
Still, this is 100% contrary to medical ethics. We serve the sickest patients first regardless of how they got sick, & that will NOT change
@AndreaR9Md
It really grinds my gears that we walk our CSF samples from LPs down to the lab just bc of how invasive and unpleasant they were to obtain, but the ppl in charge of these samples don’t seem to give af that these women were re-traumatized for no reason bc they were lied to by PD
For the love if god, will lay ppl stop suggesting that we down triage unvaccinated patients.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I get it, I hope you all get vaxxed, I love and care about all of you. But I am not black tagging ANYONE, so quit ur bitchin n wait in line. If I put you behind an unvaxxed pt…
@QueeninLemon
@RyanMarino
Idk I don’t do OB, but based on the report the medical staff who was responsible for making that call decided the fetus was non-viable &that she did not meet criteria for admission
I won’t presume to question their judgement, but if they erred it would be on them, not her anyway
@hodgetwins
@WarpaintDFS
You can’t possibly misunderstand the entirety of the constitution, case law, relevant legislation etc on this any worse than you apparently do based on this statement. Let me help you: a private organization is literally any organization that is not government. Its that simple
@EdWhelanEPPC
@KevinMKruse
Yes but since we can not place those IUDs without a negative pregnancy test, your point is moot. This is why you should stick to your field. Smh.
@kimmaicutler
It’s almost as if the market will reward companies that prioritize the safety of their staff and customers, making government mandates entirely superfluous
The US govt need to appropriate the ozempic patent NOW &give it out for free like the COVID vaccines!!
&I am in no way joking- this would be the most effective public health intervention in human history, worth every penny &saving 100x the $$ on the back end by avoiding dialysis
@clairlemon
I was raised that if you got a girl pregnant, and she wants to keep it, you marry her and buy a house and settle down. Having tried this, I can tell you that results may vary. But together or separated, absolutely *nothing* justifies running out on your child.
@kept_simple
Was there seriously a time and place (outside of maybe the Deep South) in the US within the past forty, sixty, even eighty years where slavery was not taught about in schools and ubiquitously considered evil?

Boil baking soda table salt and water together it will lift that burnt stuff right off any stainless, use it all the time, may require minimal scrubbing after but usually just boils right off. Google for best ratios I forget lol

Barring any acute medical conditions causing unusual levels of swelling like trauma etc, I’ve had a near-100% success rate using an ice pack or ice bath prep followed by the dental floss technique over the past decade or so in the ER, would highly recommend
@FlitterOnFraud
Wait are you really under the impression that you could find a jury of twelve ppl that did not include a single sexual assault survivor? Are you aware of the prevalence of sexual assault in America? And you think that would make things more fair, or just, or even her “peers?”
@Klosterwoman
@Craig_A_Spencer
No doubt, I’m in the same spot. Healthcare workers who want them & likely will receive some level of benefit should come before people who have madd the decision that they don’t want them and don’t care, even if they need them
@lindsaykap
I agree this is insane but we should be clear that the $30k is a made up fantasy number that exists only so the insurance industry can use it as a fake baseline to negotiate their “plan discount” against
@wil_da_beast630
@JoshShapiroPA
Sure for graduate level professional positions obviously education, credentialing, licensure &other objective assessments of competency are indispensable-
but isn’t requiring any random bachelors degree for jobs that don’t actually use that degree just bull$hit gatekeeping tho?
@brad_polumbo
Absolutely not, this is the most obvious criteria you could imagine fir a transplant patient. Due to scarcity, we prioritize recipients by who is most likely to successfully accept an organ.
@JLPettimoreIII
@rawsalerts
How has that worked out so far overall in the numerous school shootings where armed guards & or cops were present during most of the assault? Parkland ? Uvalde? It’s obviously something we should consider, but it is also obviously nowhere near enough to slow this epidemic down

@JohnFetterman
@DrOz
As someone who takes care of stroke patients I think this is a VERY good idea &I highly commend it. Not just for Fetterman’s benefit; ppl should know that a stroke does not *necessarily* limit your potential. My best friend’s mom had a stroke & now she is a famous public speaker
@fuzzymittens
For whatever reason this one place I worked in DC had a string of ppl jump off the parking garage roof where it got to the point we all had PTSD when we heard a RRT page to there lol

From my [pretty extensive] experience in this field, the ppl who train with guns are *almost never* the ones to use those guns to hurt another person
@roderickgraham
But rod, why would anyone think eliminating the only objective admissions test is going to help reduce class disparity, rather than simply enable it? Won’t admissions be even more based on subjective extra curricular stuff thats even easier than the SAT for rich people to game?
I for one think its wrong for an

host to literally launch a public allegation of anti-Muslim prejudice against a random commenter, esp one that he quite literally made up out of this air just bc he was called out for his hypocrisy… no wonder they took

Gee, Mehdi, I sure hope I don’t get any death threats now that an NBC host just falsely accused me in public of smearing Muslims. But you don’t give a shit about that.

Dude who are yall lmao
I literally do not stop working from the second I walk in the door to the second I walk out, except for lunch, bathroom breaks, tops 5min to read or respond to pressing personal comms, less than 5 min small talk. Well over 7 hours out of 8 spent grinding

My favorite part here is how the two white people get identified by the exact country their families come from, something most Latinos and plenty of black peoples might prefer too?

I work near there. I absolutely think the fact that the government broke the social contract here leading to the necessity of the actions in this video could persuade me to vote not guilty if I was ever on the jury
Fun fact, this happened across from a huge police station🤡🤦🏻♂️😭
As an early adopter and still-early-enough crypto ship-jumper, I can honestly say that this is all quite accurate. Yes, crypto is gasping it’s last breath right now and any of your money on any exchange is probably not safe for long.
Finance is supposed to channel capital to real productive assets.
High finance -- trading, derivatives, etc. -- is a superstructure built on the foundation of productive assets.
Right now, crypto is just the superstructure without the foundation.

I totally hike like this and I thought it was funny lol, just the mannerisms and stuff. We should all be allowed to make more harmless jokes like this about the differences in our cultures imo
@denise_dewald
My job is hard enough with an n95 all day… tbh everyone has basically given up on it outside of COVID rooms- just not worth it except in direct contact with an infectious pt. Still, I used to lay tile, can’t *imagine* wearing n95 all day doing that. Hope they billed double

@RealMed3
No this is very good… This is how you build a roster & a practice imo
In the hospital they said every pt with a bad experience tells ten ppl while every patient who has a good outcome tells one
In primary care, catch a BCC early or send a family some flowers &they tell 20 ppl
@wil_da_beast630
Recently cops shot a 16yo honor roll student playing with a toy gun in his own driveway to death and literally no one defended him bc he was white. Was really indefensible, pisses me off just to think about it tbh, but wanted to help you start the list.
@RGIII
I hear u man I was sitting there watching in sec 121 when you went down, in the Dallas game and vs Seattle... Appreciate what you gave to the Skins; it’s a shame the franchise did u like they did tbh. Only thing I could think about when this Lamar convo came up

I can personally confirm that the Pfizer vaccine has zero microchips in it bc I give it and I have *literally* looked at it microscopically, and a microchip just is not the type of thing you can miss lol. Conversely the efficacy and virtue of vaccine mandates is quite debatable

Sadly the supposed upside to GoF is that we would be better equipped to respond to an emerging pathogen…. Like this one…. Didn’t help much huh?
