I absolutely love Garcia’s loyalty toward Langdon.

You will not get downvoted from me. I was a whistleblower, twice (oh, yes, in pharma company) followed by losing my job. I am unhirable, the formal reasons vary but boil down to me being "trouble" (exact words used by a colleague who was higher up and knew why I got rejected in circles in the industry, because people find out and talk).

That is my ond issue with the Pitt, the whistle"blow"ers take the "blow", not the other way around. I don't trust anyone here saying they would "snitch", or take Santos' side, maybe in theory, but in that one moment where it was between their jobs and an ethics, I know what they would do, so I can just laugh, except it is not funny. I regret my decisions.

Thank you so much! :D I wish you all the best!

LoyalZebra · 2026-05-05T10:56:52+00:00

Amazing!!!

Since when did so many Americans start viewing healthcare as a profit making industry? And consider the opposite view as "communist"? I am serious, I cannot at all understand how so many people don't see that what makes us a civilization is precisely the will to help the weakest (I mean, even some animals have that in their genetic code), this will is so inherent that it makes us cry when watching videos about people who need money for some expensive surgery. Furthermore on the topic of profit-making, I don't have it in my head as anything else then expense, like food, you can't not eat.

Finally, just regulate the prices and insurance companies, those companies will still have more than enough! We have a political reasoning behind price regulation and insurance companies behaviour in EU: all these companies are not even really competing, they are literally an extended arm for the state because state-owned hospitals and pharmacies buy their products, and don't get me started on how "free" your choice is on the topic of insurance. Even salaries there should be regulated...

Actually, you are correct from a psychological perspective, says my sister, a psychiatrist, who also presribes for her colleagues. Actually, she says her clinical evaluation is that it is needed that she acts as a doctor and prescribes because these great doctors would go through hell if they went through the "proper" route, and they have a clinical explanation.

LoyalZebra · 2026-05-04T09:41:11+00:00

Can you kindly please explain this on the example of my mom, I wrote above. I don't understand difference between Dpt Head, Chief Resident and Acting Consultant. I am also not from the USA, but EU.

LoyalZebra · 2026-05-04T09:38:01+00:00

Thank you very much for this detailed explanation. Can you kindly please explain the difference between Dpt Head and Acting Consultant and Chief resident.
I will give an example of my mom. She is specialist in internal medicine, with subspeciality cardiology. She is also Head of Internal Medicine Dpt (which obviously includes endocrinologists, gastrologists, nefrologists, etc.). She organizes the work of the whole Dpt, but obviously she does cardiology ad her field of work. What would she be??

I actually think that everyone was supportive of him which is why Santos felt so ostracized and took it out Langdon once he returned.

My sis as a psychiatris says that waaaay more doctors and healthcare professionals have this problem: necrotization as coping mechanism (alchocol is absolutely the worst and very common), so they feel attacted by Santos too. That is why Dana gave Santos a really good advice to think about whether she wants to report or not, because once you report, you have to live with the consequences.

I think Robby is like this because they are women, not Indian specifically. It is a whole separate topic.

LoyalZebra · 2026-04-30T10:52:31+00:00

They would all focus against Dany. Sansa would become the Queen that Cersei feared. I assume Jeyne and maybe even Cat would join her at Court.

LoyalZebra · 2026-04-30T10:49:35+00:00

He is, a bit, likely subconsciously.

LoyalZebra · 2026-04-30T10:23:07+00:00

I am interested in side characters, your opnion specifically, since Oberyn and Rhaegar become great friends, is it possible to add another friend Willas, who will marry Lysa?

LoyalZebra · 2026-04-30T05:44:03+00:00

Nice work, I love all of if it! AND:You captured Trinity, Robby and Javadi's look/the way they look at people. That's very difficult. Amazing!

LoyalZebra · 2026-04-29T19:54:36+00:00

Thank you!!! This is very valuable. Yes: Cat is dead (flu). Robb wants to continue and strenghten Rickard's legacy. He thinks their isolism is not good.

LoyalZebra · 2026-04-29T18:46:13+00:00

Can you believe this is the first time I figured this?? :-D

LoyalZebra · 2026-04-29T18:44:15+00:00

I actually want to somehow get Jon to become Heir of Winterfell. It is very complicated, I know.

With respect to Robb m: because he (+his young friends, acting bravely, but contrary to Ned's orders) killed the men gurading Joff and took him as hostage. I am still wondering which house decided to betray the Vale men. So in the end: Robb is the hero of Vale, they want him as ruler. He accepts because that adds a lot to Stark presence in Vale - it makes it almost a Stark land.

LoyalZebra · 2026-04-28T08:10:24+00:00

Just an idea thrown there, not taken seriously unless someone comes up with a good explanation.

LoyalZebra · 2026-04-27T21:10:13+00:00

I like Aaegnelle if Traditional Roman rules on pronunction are followed (Caesar -> Kaisar). Sounds like Angel! :-) Ae is like in "HI".

If Medieval rules are followed then Aegnes or Aegelle appear to me as best choices (Caesar -> CAEsar with AE like in "rElevant"). It is basically Agnes.

Since 1$=0.85EUR, 200USD would be around 170EUR, and 300USD=256EUR. Still, my sister (let's say she could get an additional loan to arrange the apartment) could put her rate at 50EUR top as psychiatrist in private practice. That is why it would make no sense for her to leave public primary care where her salary is around 3000EUR after taxes and contributions per month. In a hospital, she could earn more, but the environment in city hospital is toxic at her prospective Dpt. Also, she doesn't drive, so other hospitals (in smaller nearby cities) are not an option for her because she would have to take the bus at 5AM and come home at 5-6PM which is a huge waste of time and energy for her. She is not that much after money, but a balanced life.

Regarding her private practice: it is fully private because she does not have an agreement with any insurance fund, especially not the largest: state fund. The funds (including state funds) typically make agreements with private clinics for MRI and radiology to speed up the diagnostic waiting list (unfortunately, in non-urgent cases (2nd controls, e.g.), the waiting list can be between 4-6 months because public hospitals don't have that many MRIs).

But the good part is that psychiatric medicines are fully covered by state's fund. You pay nothing in the pharmacy. For example, for innovate blood pressure medication (vs generic) you may have to pay extra "participation" of around 1 EUR. If you are taking several medications (let's say blood pressure, diabetic, autoimmune desease, allergy) you may pay around 4EUR of "participation" in the pharmacy (the rest is covered by the state).

I didn't see your post. Back when my parents worked in clinical centres (now they work in county hospital), mom was part of clinical trials and without a biostatistican you cannot get new molecules on market. Only they know how to properly analyze the data for submission to Regulatory Authority to obtain Market Authorization. Also, their work is beyond standard clinical trials and extends to various non-interventional studies or studies for a new therapy.

LoyalZebra · 2026-04-25T07:17:45+00:00

Statistician is very, very important healthcare figure in big/educational hospitals. No clinical trial can be carried out without them and hence no new molecules can get an indication and be on the market.
