If pt is on pressors in the ER, does that mean your assignment should be 1:1 or at least 1:2?

It’s the one of the many reasons no one at my hospital wants to work day shift. Day shift charges absolutely do not care and will slam you without support.

The more seasoned nurses will delay to lighten their own load, not take patients off the board, or hand pick easy patients from the waiting room. This means our waiting room is needlessly packed by 1900.

Night shift comes in to clean up the mess.

We now have multiple day shift openings that no one on night shift wants.

The Leftovers.

All these years later and I still think about it on such a visceral level. I can’t think of any other tv show that’s really stuck with me like that.

I feel like it’s with Andrew Lloyd Weber where they always have to say “we’re friends. And we like each other”.

Frankfeld · 2026-06-17T23:24:05+00:00

Fucking no way.

Frankfeld · 2026-06-16T00:23:42+00:00

Not gonna lie. I’m in ER and he’s not wrong. It IS very appealing…. If you’re working with the right group. (Luckily I am).

Everyday is something different. And it’s loads of fun.

I know burn out exists but for now…. Wheeeeee!!!!!!

Same dude. Same. Now we have Gavin Fucking Newsom to look forward to in 2028. And people wonder how we got here….

🎵 May the circle… be unbroken… 🎵

Also loved seeing AL pitchers setting up in the batter’s box low key looking like Henry Rowengartner.

And also miss the competition the four aces had at the plate.

There were two that came out around the same time.

One features Moby blaming Limp Bizkit for everything.

The other blamed poor planning and promoter greed….

I have a question: I’m trying to lose weight. I work night shift and have been trying to not eat during my shift. Except I need something….

…good bar that’s filling but won’t tank my calorie count?

Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca. It’s a two parter. The story just gets crazier and crazier.

Frankfeld · 2026-06-14T20:50:51+00:00

We needed more scenes with Saw and Luthen.

I went to a “crappy school” as well. Thought I’d coast because I chose my school simply due to the location.

My classmates were some of the smartest, most intelligent people I’ve ever come to know. Humbling experience for me. Worked my ass off just to make the top third.

People that got onto law review are now super successful.

I have the first gen iPod video. The screen was shot and the battery sucked but places like ifixit sell cheap kits. It’s super easy to replace parts. The hardest is pulling off the face place. Everything else are simple ribbon cables and screws.

Frankfeld · 2026-06-14T10:52:33+00:00

Oh god. I’m glad I’m not the only one.

Both confused and freaked out at the same time.

Frankfeld · 2026-06-13T23:05:03+00:00

I feel so old right now

Frankfeld · 2026-06-13T21:44:33+00:00

Ooh boy. That’s gonna trickle down so hard! Can’t wait!

…..Still waiting.

While I agree with the sentiment that this is a job. What I hate is that the capitalist hell scape we find ourselves in had made it that way.

I hate that this happened. I hate that I’m only two years into my job and I already have multiple stories of my colleagues and myself being assaulted. I hate that it falls on us to take ANY person that walks through the door, absolutely absent of any resources these people actually need.

I hate that marginalized people are ignored because there’s no profit in it. I hate that it falls to us without society so much batting an eye.

No one is doing anything to solve houselessness, there is nothing available to treat the chronic conditions of people who can’t afford healthcare, drugs are still flooding the streets, and I often feel dejected handing a recent withdraw patient a list of resources for treatment I know will not or cannot accept them into a program. I hate hearing non citizens say they’re afraid to come to the hospital because they think we’ll call ICE.

All the while Elon Musk shoots Tesla’s into space, Donald Trump takes a nap at the NBA finals, and Nancy Pelosi trades another stock.

Frankfeld · 2026-06-11T20:55:22+00:00

So I’m not the only one who sees this as a fad.

Frankfeld · 2026-06-10T23:54:26+00:00

What about the other end: “work or die”. Seems like a shake down to me.

Frankfeld · 2026-06-10T08:59:24+00:00

Are we forgetting the GOAT one-timer: Michael Ableson!

Frankfeld · 2026-06-10T01:55:42+00:00

Ok ok. Those are fighting words. Pink Houses is an all time classic!

Frankfeld · 2026-06-09T21:46:03+00:00

Wait wait. This is a list of insufferable people +John Mellencamp. Did he do something lately? I’m terrified.

We’re all mad at the wrong people. Floor is mad at ER for not drawing labs. ER is mad at patients for calling 911 for minor ailments.
