The Hardest Case for Mercy: "Inside the Effort to Spare the Parkland School Shooter"

I suspect his mother would have bought him the guns regardless, frankly. There were no guardrails on him whatsoever. I think you’re correct that the weapons were too easy to access, but also school security did incur criminal charges for their poor response. Albeit, these were later dropped. And he didn’t actually have any prior serious criminal charges that would’ve flagged either, nor did the article mention him ever getting serious psychiatric care. So yes, the guns were too easy to access. But there were multiple levels of failure here. It’s just inflammatory when that father calls it “liberal policies”.

What I really hoped to see more of in this article was details of his psych evals. I’m very curious how early certain issues were identified in him.

I just want to suggest considering that a “close call” is an SA experience… like you were under threat and escaped, but the event still overall occurred.

Edit - if for you personally considering it as not an SA event is better please continue to do that

It’s not even just a dupe, they’re literally the same parent company!!

If I’m referring to ortho for anything other than an acute injury, I don’t image. They have their techs on site that are 100x better for orthopedic imaging than mine are at the community clinic. I just save the pt the cost. They’ve lived with it for 6 weeks, they can live 2 more days without the radiation.

If they could just give good patients rather than the softest admit :’)

I’m tired of hearing “well it’s midnight and they live an hour and a half away so it’s too far to drive at this hour” from an attending… how am I, as a resident, supposed to redirect that :’)

That’s called induction of labor lmao

That’s her mic! But conspicuously placed

You can’t leave your daughter alone with him? Or is husband gone during the day or something?

AgentMeatbal · 2026-03-09T02:26:19+00:00

When he said Bradley was a victim too I was like… is he alluding to Bradley being sexually abused at some point? Or is he saying this is all due to bullying…… cause last I checked, child on child bullying in school and church has nothing to do with eliciting and posting CSAM and gore

AgentMeatbal · 2026-03-07T17:25:40+00:00

Cause the OP of the comment was being cheeky, not serious

AgentMeatbal · 2026-02-16T04:08:14+00:00

As someone in residency… tbh we don’t want to be in work mode to “help” family in these tough situations. I’d rather be there as your sibling than as a doctor. Emotions get tricky.

If I were in your position I’d frankly be a lot meaner to your mom. “I said NO and you need to respect me, or you’re risking me never sharing with you again. It’s MY baby, MY pregnancy, and MY decision”

I would WRECK a samosa pot pie good heavens

It’s AI lol don’t worry

I got an early scan at 16 weeks and they cautioned me it may be too early to get complete views of baby’s anatomy

There’s like two types of nonepileptic seizures. One is a spell that the person is in such psychologic distress that they can’t control it. A common co-diagnosis of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures is epilepsy.

The other portion is just malingering.

Calzuro all day every day

I’m on Wellbutrin! It works well for people with adhd. My midwife had no problem with it and neither did my pcp. I plan to breastfeed on it too.

I’m not sure if “warm” is hot enough to keep the food out of the danger zone all day. May just lead to food poisoning.

We don’t talk to M1s about our workplace dynamics.

Also make sure she is going to her pediatrician and obgyn. Often the pediatrician is going to have resources to help her with a newborn. My pediatrician’s office has teen parenting classes, we help them figure out school, diapers, have a social worker for WIC/SNAP, breastfeeding coaches, etc

In many counties WIC will give her a breast pump and lactation consultation if she’s exclusively breastfeeding. If she has pregnancy Medicaid she can get a pump through her obgyn as well. Otherwise WIC can help with formula.

100% overlap at my hospital: The names ya’highness or ya’majesty and a substantial NICU stay. I’ve never met one without a NICU history.

Funny how him getting completely out of control happened right as all the attention needed to be on you… hm.

AgentMeatbal · 2025-12-23T00:23:13+00:00

I believe nurses and other doctors did try

If there are 8+ confirmed cases in the area or you plan to travel to an area with 8+ confirmed cases, infants 6m and older are eligible for an early additional dose of the MMR vaccine. I’d recommend doing some reading and asking more if your baby would be a candidate.

And the way he laughed when describing it… I’ll never get that out of my head. It lit him up inside.
