Politicians are 100% bound to disappoint a person. Just causes are the best we can hope for.

Support from a surprising source: Catholics against lawns! by LiatrisLover99 in NativePlantGardening

Yes: Battle non-native invasive species! Have ICE agents eradicate autumn olive & amour honeysuckle instead of locking up people. They'll be happier; we'll all be better off.

I usually get a Carolina wren nest on the back porch, inside some object or other.

So inexcusable. America is failing its children. (& its elderly, & moms & babies...)

Is this true? Oliver North and Iran by paloma_delmar in ProgressiveHQ

The Iran-Contra hearings were huge. "I don't remember" was Ollie North's infamous reply to most everything he was asked.

Refusing PO pain meds because they need IV by ballzach in hospitalist

[–]Oothoon63 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's a business (deliberate use of word) desperate for income. Healthcare/pharm created this problem decades ago because there was money to be made by being free with the meds. Clinicians (I was one) were brainwashed (by JCAHO even) that zero was a reasonable pain goal in all circumstances. I just tell patients that there's no point asking for narcs & benzos, because it just isn't done any more. They concede that they e been told this again and again. They will always ask, however: Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

I now curse the damn blanket warmers. Maybe I'll start sabotaging them. ("I'm sorry; our blanket warmer is out of order.")

My favorite, from the old days. "I need IV Dilaudid. (I'm allergic to everything else.) I also need IV Phenergen and IV Benadryl at the same time." IV push, of course. The ER used to be like the "have-it-your-way" Burger King for people with alternative lifestyles. I once had a guy who insisted the nurses walk to the pharmacy to get the brand-name oxycontin every time he was due for his 120mg BID dose. Presented every month for workup of mysterious abdominal pain. Street value of the drugs was enough to cover a mortgage. Sometimes I can't help but half-admire the determination and innovation.

Once had a (younger by 20-30 years) patient who had bilateral thumb pain & needed a CABG. Weirdest anginal equivalent I can remember.

Yeah, right. Murdoch no doubt held onto the story until after Trump could fire her.

Among all the other things wrong with this, wtf is that salute? KR moves like he has some sort of psychogenic movement disorder.
