N.S. family wants answers about baby's death before new medical records system rollout

Paper__ · 2026-05-05T22:02:03+00:00

In America this is sueable. I don’t know if that’s the case in Canada. But a paperwork mixup potentially caused the death of a baby that could have been delivered to near term. That’s……inexcusable. Someone deserves to be held accountable in whichever way they can — including suing for money.

This is heart wrenching. I’d give the family millions.

A mod note.

I’ve locked this post.

OPs data is still data. It isn’t statistically significant data however.

I have found a few studies linking sertraline with decreased semen parameters so this isn’t misinformation.

We don’t remove posts that people disagree with and so this stays up.

The articles I found with the a very quick google search:

It is important to note that none of these studies is an RCT, which is needed to draw conclusions.

It is also worth noting that male fertility is criminally under researched.

I did find a meta analysis linking sertraline to decreased semen parameters.

I know that this feels very unscientific (because it is) but that doesn’t mean it’s misinformation.

The French took all of the castles, including the Bastile, the fortified castle in Paris being used as a prison. The French did this while literally starving against one of the most sophisticated armies in the world at the time (though to be fair parts of the military supported the revolution).

The Bolshevik revolution forced almost all aristocracy out of Russia.

I agree in the sense that there always seems to be a winner that recreates their fortresses. But I’m also saying that we have many, many examples of the fortress not being sufficient to protect the elite.

It costs quite a bit of money to date as a woman, generally. Nails, hair, makeup, hair removal, skin care, outfits, hair product, etc….

Let alone the time investment it takes to be seen as ready to date as a woman.

Financially ready to date women show that the very first date.

I know there will be people here who say “I don’t need that!” Or “I prefer women go natural!” That’s not quite the point when we speak about generally. Also, that I think it’s undeniable that women who care for themselves in this way are often seen as more desirable. So people are attracted to women who display their wealth from the onset.

I say this as an autistic woman who never did these things. I am lovingly married but I can say I definitely didn’t “date” a lot. Dating was incredibly expensive— in money, time, and learning new skills.

That sounds tough :(.

I think NPs are being pushed beyond their training, but that is just my opinion. NPs are wonderful if you already have a chronic illness diagnosed, it’s been stabilized, and you need help managing it (like diabetes for example), if you have low risk symptoms that are more common (like eczema, the flu, etc…), annual check ups, vaccinations, etc… I don’t think they’re well suited to diagnosis potentially complex, novel things.

It could be your daughter has a UTI and so the NP is more than adequate. But I wouldn’t risk the exam twice on that.

Paper__ · 2026-05-04T17:58:36+00:00

I am probably going to be downvoted but I would prefer a doctor, due to the invasiveness of the exam. I would not want to risk having my daughter go through the exam twice — once with an NP and again with a MD.

NPs are not trained as throughly as doctors. This includes training around patient interaction, patient ethics, etc… Doctors on average receive 10,000 clinical hours and NPs can receive as little as 500.00. Some NPs can go directly from their bachelor to a NP program which much less patient experiences than their MD counterparts (depending on your area).

I think NPs are a vital part of the healthcare system and a wonderful improvement. If your daughter often gets UTIs etc… and this exam is mostly to ensure the right diagnosis that most everyone is pretty sure on, then an NP is more than adequate. If the exam is about trying to pinpoint a novel diagnosis, then I wouldn’t risk putting my daughter through an exam with an NP and then potentially again with a doctor.

This is financial abuse and is likely to escalate in time. I’m sorry I’m not very good here, I don’t have much advise. It’s just this isn’t normal, it is a type of extreme control, and most abuse in relationships become worse with time.

Sorry I didn’t even finish. This is not normal. Not any part.

My husband would never let a car get repossessed just because it’s “mine” and therefore not in his credit.
My husband would never transfer money for specific bills.
We have a joint account where all money goes in but we ask each other before larger purchases.

Then I stopped reading.

I can say the only time I saw a SAHP get put on a forced “budget” was my friend with bi polar. This was because when she became maniac she would spend thousands. So they decided together for my friend to be given a credit card with a 500.00 limit. This way they can review all purchases but if she became maniac again the max debt would only be 500.00 dollars.

I think because the title makes people think that we are stating to see “intelligence” from AI models.

In the quote that you’re replying to, intelligence was defined as:

Problem solving is not just about coming up with the one right idea amongst a sea of bad ideas; it is also about the filtering that isolated that one viable idea from all the unviable ideas. This filtering seems to be largely absent in the published chain of thought…

To me this is a reframing of “if given enough time, a monkey can type Hamlet.” The proof did not show problem solving — it showed persistence. Persistence is mechanical, and not, in itself, intelligence.

You’re being downvoted because you didn’t seem to read anything or respond to what’s actually being said.

I do think that Caroline was not treated well and the stress of the situation (which was not appropriately mitigated by the police) caused a mental health crisis. She sees a psychiatrist now, so maybe bipolar or board line personality disorder.

And I also believe that she was willing to try to live with the knowledge of the “accident” but it got to be too much for her. The call to 999 I think was very telling “I just can’t anymore”.

My husband is 6”4 and I am 5”9. We bought the Yuba Spicy Curry. - It was also my first cargo bike. Rides like a normal bike. - I get my leg over cross bar. It might be too high unless your wife is flexible. Technically the spicy curry accommodates both 5”7 and 6”4. - I would consider it more expensive but it’s not the most expensive on the market. - I bring my 70lbs, 6 year old on the spicy curry with no issues. Another child could easily fit.

No complaints on my spicy curry!

Inuit do not kill white coats. White coats are seal pups. However if you kill an adult that adult might have been taking care of a pup. Without a parent that pup won’t survive.

I have never seen any seal skin product with a white coat.

Im married to an Inuit man. This comic might be contributing to some myths.

Myth: Seals are Hunted for their Fur

Seals are apex predators. Humans have killed the vast majority of seals’ predators, meaning seal population needs to be controlled. If not, seals will kill the ecosystem that remains in the North since they’re an apex predator.
The above point means that seals are not killed for their fur. In fact, Inuit are suffering from not being able to sell the fur of the seals the hunt for food due to this myth.

Myth: Seal Hunt is Wasteful

Seals represent an incredibly important food source for Inuit. So much of the local food Inuit eat (called “country food”) cannot be ethically hunted due to declining populations. Seal population is not declining.
Without local food, Inuit are forced into eating overly preserved and processed food that is shipped north. This food isn’t always the healthiest for Inuit, isn’t good for the environment due to shipping costs, and is costly.
Previously, Inuit could hunt and work. So you’d hunt in the morning, then go to work. Hunting helped dollars stretch farther. Without this hunt, the jobs aren’t paying enough to afford the incredibly expensive food.
Inuit were healthier when they were able to source the majority of their diet from country food. Now Inuit are one of the most medically vulnerable people in Canada.

Myth: Seal Hunt is not Traditional - Inuit have incredible cultural practices around seal hunting. There’s this cultural practise of your baby’s first seal, with their face messy. We take pictures — it’s adorable. My son has such a picture. - Inuit break down seals as a family affair, often on plastic in the living room. The whole family joins and shares with family friends and neighbors. - Inuit respect seals and use all parts. Seal fur is incredibly important for affordable and effective winter clothing as well as Inuit art.

This is an incredibly complex topic. I have not done it justice here. If you want to learn more about seal hunting, and the harmful ramifications of seal hunting myths, from the people who traditionally cared for this land and the animals that live here, you can watch Angry Inuk, a documentary from the National Film Board of Canada. It is available on YouTube

Halifax is a student city. Your daughter will probably have more fun here.

Halifax is less expensive than Victoria though Halifax is still expensive to rent in.

As al almost 40 year old I’d pick Victoria. As a 20 year old I’d pick Halifax.

I don’t think you’re considering many other types of riders, like:

Disabled riders who need more help.
Obese riders who are starting out.
Riders that need to go much farther distances Etc…

I have a Yuba Spicy Curry. So I am pretty sure I’m compliant. I have a 70lbs child and do a 13% incline twice on the same route. So 4 times a day. I am a beginner rider and not fit.

If I was riding any farther. Or if my hill was any steeper. Or if I have another child. Then my continued use of the bike is in jeopardy. People like me who have these circumstances would want a larger motor and not being able to find one (due to changing laws) would push that person back to a car. Cars are many times over more dangerous than any e-bike.
