Yeah, "sunsetting" is such trash corporate speak.

The gold standard to declare brain death is nuclear medicine scan of brain blood circulation. This is done in addition to bedside brain death testing and even EEG if the family wants it all. We fucking KNOW if a patient has cerebral blood flow or not. This person is ridiculously incorrect.

A bite is not good unless it has a little of each thing on my plate. The flavors must all be in every bite.

Climate and Healthcare migration. I can't afford to retire here in the states. It's coming.

In 2020 during COVID, it often presented strangely with patients on 100% oxygen, no respiratory distress, but still having low O2 sats. They'd sit there for a week and a half with sats in the 70s and were only intubated once they decompensated from there. That 10 or so days of low sats hits every organ in the body but the consensus was to intubate once they were in distress. For those that survived, long covid makes a lot of sense

And if I'm not mistaken, hubble looks at different wavelengths of light than JWST, so naturally their observations are going to look different. JWST looks at infrared or near IR while hubble sees mostly visible light.

Goddamn. LED. Headlights. Also the way different manufacturers have these tacky headlight setups to somehow set then apart from others so not only are they as bright as the fucking sun, they have way more diodes than is ever necessary.

Without any prompting, I read it in the narrators voice. Praise the Absolute.

I feel like we should say it every time a mother is shot by her neighbor, or a regular commuter is shot by a police officer because he owns a gun, in the most prolific gun toting country on Earth. I feel like we should say it every time a man is killed on video by police, or a classroom of kids is gunned down and we continue to act as if the ONE thing we need to start doing absolutely cannot be done because it "impedes" the rights of those who do not live on the other end of that spectrum. It should never and will never lose its impact because people are straight up over this bullshit. It may lose its impact to the run of the mill armchair warrior, but that's it, and I'm ok with that.

Edit: I'm sorry that I sound so bitchy JJROKCZ, I just got off shift with a trauma red in the bay, shot in the throat ffs. I appreciate your opinion and I'm glad we can have these conversations.

The cruelty is the point. It's their MO. Hurt those already judged and serving their sentence. It's why I will never work in correctional Healthcare. Each interaction with a health care professional is, in those HCPs minds, an opportunity to punish in invisible ways. I've seen many DOC nurses treat inmates like dogs. By the time they get to outside facilities for care, they're often unnecessarily complicated or half dead, due to the 'care' they get from DOC personnel.

Edit: not just nurses but doctors too

Absolutely was scared of him when I was younger! He was the penguin in the old Batman movies. Total nightmare fuel.

Forced voluntary resignation no less. Definitely sounds like termination to me.

What? No birthday or SSN? It's almost like they aren't really children!

AMPTP: Alliance of Motion Picture amd Television Producers

Had to look it up cuz I didn't know : P

You can also use benzocaine spray, works a hell of alot better than phenol. ...I heard from a friend.

Yeah, just a run of the mill chicken sandwich combo is 15$ and it looks like a toddler slapped it together with food he found in the trash.

Dave Grossman, a graduate of the school of killology. It's in the title ffs. This is what's being taught to our 'protectors'.

Wait til she hears about cancer

So I just started galumphing...

I always think, Bent The Fuck Over
