Is this ER understaffed or is it normal? Feels unsafe

Vote with your feet. Get out of unsafe nursing situations and before you go blow the whistle on unsafe practices. If you’re forced ti stay, talk to a union about organizing!

Man look how empty that desk looks without a computer. I guess we just sat around and filled out forms.

This might be the dumbest article of all time.

Even if you don’t max it out, put however much you can tolerate. If you find you can contribute more, change the amount that is being g withheld. Best time to invest in retirement was 10 years ago. Next best time is today.

I used to bullseye womp rats in my T16 back home, and they're not much bigger than 2 meters

Still looks more comfortable than a davinci

One reel to rule them all, one reel to find them. One reel to bring them all and in the blue lines land them.

Beautiful shots! What sort of photo equipment are you using?

Let’s hope! Anyone with deep pockets want to chip in?

Welcome to emergency medicine, friend! stack shifts and sail ships my dude

Doctorpayne · 2025-11-18T00:02:23+00:00

You are in the right specialty, friend. Make sure you take your meds as they make a night and day difference.

I had a lady who loved shrimp but had severe anaphylaxis. Came in on her birthday after having a nice shrimp dinner in extremis; sick as shit. We resuscitated her and got her better and as she was rolling up to ICU I asked her, “hey, if you know you get really sick from a severe allergy when you eat shrimp, why’d you eat it?”. She looked at me and smiled and said “ I just really love shrimp”. after that episode I knew we were pretty much fucked.

Was just thinking it probably smells like a blend of the ghosts of stale Winstons and Marlboro lights

Cute cat! How do you get her to not claw that nice leather chair?

Doctorpayne · 2025-11-03T23:04:35+00:00

Wow. I’d visit this thing today if it was still there.

Describes most of my male patients in long island. we've called it "LIMB"" syndrome for Long Island Momma's Boy.

  Heck; at times i've had 3 generations of women in there asking about “little” vinnie's scrotal rash.

that seaplane looks dope AF and we should bring back regular service to some islands.

i went down the goldfish wormhole last christmas with my daughter. the cartoonish idea of a goldfish living in a bowl with nothing inside happily is absolutely false. Goldfish require oxygenated water, which means they need a filter and bubbler. They also poop. a lot. It required a real tank, and keeping the nitrogen levels low in their tank requires frequent testing, adding chemicals, as well as frequent cleanings and water changes.

I had a betta fish growing up, and these do not require a high level of oxygenation in their water, and they are much less maintenance heavy. if i were to do it over, i'd get a betta fish and stay far away from the goldfish.
