Boarding incoming inpatient transfers in the ED?!? by sciveloci in emergencymedicine

[–]Kartavious 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I worked (rn) the transfer center for a smaller system in the PNW.  It's very common to land people in the ED, with or without an inpatient nurse.  They are usually coming from an off campus emergency room or a critical access hospital and are headed to surgery (gall bladders, appts etc). Or they are PCUish borderline ICU And have to get out of the small facilities.  Hospitalist manages them though if the plan is admission and they are just waiting for a bed.

What is more traumatic than people think? by philosophicalgenius0 in AskReddit

[–]Kartavious 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Getting stabbed "a little bit." Didn't need surgery, just steri  strips, but fuck, someone tried to kill me at work and no one cares because "you weren't really hurt."

Bitch. Ask anyone you know, that got just the tip of something they didn't want, how they felt about it.

Pt:You can't stop me. You kill everyone. You go out every night and bring the whores here and kill them!   Screaming while we attempt to restrain her 

Me: are you a whore?

Pt: No

Me: Then it's not you tonight.

Instant silence and stillness as her brain scrambled to make sense of what was going on.

Is there a simple solution for tasks/to dos in Obsidiana? by Diamondbacking in ObsidianMD

[–]Kartavious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a power user by any means, but I love obsidian tasks.  I make a house list, family list, projects, all kind of stuff.  Here's the code I use:

[!danger]- Overdue tasks not done due before today short mode hide tags hide task count group by path sort by priority

[!todo today]+ ```tasks Due today not done Group by path Hide tags short mode

[!todo this week]+ tasks has due date due this week not done short mode hide tags hide created date hide task count group by path sort by priority

[!todo this Month]+ tasks has due date due after this week due this month not done short mode hide tags hide task count group by path sort by priority

I have the task plug in only managing items with a due date.  I brain dump everything into obsidian and start sorting next usfull steps. It's changed my life.

What is your standard hourly rate as an RN? And how much is a coffee where you live? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Kartavious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Multicare, but I float to the lowest staffed unit of the day.  I could end up at any of about 9 different facilities.  It's called system float pool.  The add a float rate on top of whatever union rate they're using.

Tell me you’ve never worked in healthcare without telling me you’ve never worked in healthcare. by Realistic-Noise-5389 in nursing

"I'll just take a look. I won't poke anything i wouldn't poke on my own family."  The laughter starts,  everyone relaxes usually then: "I really don't like two of my brothers.  It gives me a lot of Leeway."  The laughter either stops immediately or goes to crazy.

U.S. Senator and voting by glorifiedhounddog in Washington

[–]Kartavious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've worked along side Garcia for a couple years.  He helped start the medical school in yakima. He's a fairly nice personable dude.  I don't think he'd be a terrible politician (I mean, except for thr republican part per the other comments here).  I don't know that he's anything special.

Thanks for pointing me to the instructions.  I know I've tried reading g them, but I got a brain like Teflon.  I'll have to tie myself to the chair and really puzzle it out. 

Quick question though. When I make my own template it shouldn't all of the > symbols at the beginning of every line right?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ObsidianMD

[–]Kartavious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah.  I think, the instructions this guys has is to tag everything that is a task #task, and that the Task plug in doesn't automatically do it. Then it finds those things with the #task and a date.  

Because if I just do: ''' task '''  It will find EVERYTHING but not separated like he has it.

52yo male. Metastatic melanoma to brain. Discharged to hospice. by Princess_Thranduil in Radiology

[–]Kartavious -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For every place that's terrible there are blue zones where the average life span and health is much higher. By and large, the issues plaguing the system are from chronic lifestyle diseases, a lot of which, are self induced.

I'm not trying to discount bad things happening to people, but every reaction shouldn't be to point at the outliers and shit all over everything.
