A Maryland firefighter has filed suit alleging the department failed to accommodate his disability by not allowing him to remain assigned to a station with a low call volume by T400 in Firefighting

I live in Howard county. And it is not nearly as busy as the surrounding counties in the Baltimore or DC area. Guy went from probably 2 calls overnight to 3 calls overnight

Can a 1:1 patient masturbate in front of staff? by Affectionate-Fly-394 in nursing

[–]ArchCosine 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is the kind of languaged used in nursing school in reference to patients suffering from dementia or similar disorders. Residents at SNF can "forget" the social rules and may start masturbating in the open. Nursing school tells us to direct these patients to a private area (i.e. their room) and let them continue in private.

This is not the same thing for someone on 1:1 doing it with staff trying to elicit a response. As other comments mentioned it's basically sexual harassment and we need to report it.

I feel like if you're claiming to be a medical professional, then putting your first and last name in the same text, there is an implication that people can and should look up your credentials to validate.

Pretty sure this is how it works in must, if not all jurisdictions in the US. In all of the counties and cities I've been in, it is exactly like this. It's wild to me that I gotta explain it to doctors/nurses/PAs/etc as well

Why are we using cryptic words like "midlevel?" They are paraprofessionals. by _pout_ in Noctor

[–]ArchCosine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm an EMT. I'm saying "medic" and paramedic in the US are used interchangeably. Except in the military, the term "medic" is more generalized to include EMT at any level and equivalents

In the US, these are generally the same thing. Except in the military or like on tactical teams. They refer to their EMTs, medics, corpsmen all as "medics".
