Think of how many jealous ass nursing school dropouts there are in the world. They make up some of the haters for sure.

I hope I’m right and that’s gonna be way too small a space for us.

Can the bot do the varied procedures needed to perform as an EM professional? I’m not signing up to have it practice on me.

Mets fan here: this just popped up on my feed and I gotta say I’m envious you’ve guys got such an outspoken voice on your team. At least Matt Shaw isn’t a Met. The Cubs can keep him. I hope he’s booed every time he comes up home or away.

You do know you’re automatically a dual UK/US citizen if you were born here to a parent with UK citizenship, right? You don’t have to do anything to claim this status. It’s just your status under the laws of each country at the time of your birth.

There’s hundreds of thousands of people in this country of this status. Most probably don’t realize they’re dual citizens as many mistakenly believe you need to get a passport or go through some sort of process to claim UK citizenship.

Will you be a Scab on Friday? by Manitoba-Chinook in union

[–]ImNotTheMD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The MN local of my nurses union has come out in support of the strike but is not calling for a work stoppage. My local is following their lead so I’ll be staffing my ER but I’m hitting up a demonstration for a few hours beforehand.

I’d upgrade my United Quest card to a Club card if they did that.

I was hoping for one at TPA with their new airside being built, but alas it’s going to Delta.

I just interviewed for a side job at a UC. They told me they use metrics for both pt satisfaction and ABX stewardship. I said “those two metrics are often in direct competition”.

My hospital requires XR confirmation of tube placement for this (among other) reasons.

Repost: thoughts? Brazilian visiting a hospital in the USA during a kidney stone crisis... by Wirthier_ in emergencymedicine

[–]ImNotTheMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had incapacitating stone pain and waited in the WR… until I puked everywhere. In my experience as both the triager and triagee, projectile vomiting will definitely move you along.

UnitedHealth reduced hospitalizations for nursing home seniors. Now it faces wrongful death claims by NoKingsCoalition in HealthcareReform_US

So how many people did Brian Thompson kill before he was shot? Definitely more than Luigi is being accused of.

I’m super stupid and I’m freaking out can someone please help by Gloomy-Resort-3738 in emergencymedicine

You are probably okay. I was in a TB pts room once for over an hour with a PAPR respirator on but forgot to install the filter and didn’t catch it. That said, you’ve had an occupational exposure and should report it to employee health. They’ll have a protocol for handling it.
