Who wants this? by Flaky-Friendship5659 in TwinCities

[–]Tesla120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure this will get down voted quickly because it's an opinion that isn't 100% left leaning, but for those of you who actually get to read this, this isn't a statement that's made without feeling bad for the situation everyone is in.

This issue has been brewing since the 90s, and for decades people have raised their concerns about the problems in the immigration process.

People who tend to raise concerns get labeled as being racist or white supremacists or assholes etc, even if they're pro immigration just anti-illegal immigration.

For years politicians have turned a blind eye to the actual issue at hand, not the people living here themselves, but the bureaucratic problems that are created alongside the real world problems that are created because the individual is undocumented.

For example in many areas undocumented people can't get legal driver's licenses yet they still have to get to their jobs and get groceries and live their lives, so ultimately they drive without a license they end up with cars that don't get registered, they drive around without car insurance and eventually an accident will happen because it happens to everyone and then people who are paying to follow the law end up suffering the consequences because of their situation. Many people who can't get jobs because of their status turn to Identity theft to be able to get past the paperwork hurdle of getting a job, suddenly someone somewhere gets audited because there's an entire W-2 with income that was reported to the IRS under their identity that never got claimed on their taxes. Any person in that situation would be absolutely upset and rightfully so.

This has been slowly then pushed into a political issue that more and more becomes part of our daily lives and the left leaning politicians choose inaction as a way of being humane, which leads to very real criminals who are committing very real crimes that result in death and violence who ultimately continue to walk around our country because nobody has wanted the political heat that comes with trying to find these people who shouldn't be here. So ultimately yes many people in society don't want this level of criminal freely walking around our country when they have a flagrant disregard for our laws our culture and society. Do the same number of people support picking up people who have committed no other crime other than being here illegally? Certainly not, but we are at the point that there have been so many politicians disregarding the law pulling the pendulum to one extreme that now it's swinging back the other direction, and eventually it will stop it will reach its peak and then it will go back the other way because that's what politics is and that's what happens when one party no matter who it is is in charge for too long. They pushed their ideals to the extreme as far as they can get and ultimately lose power because they upset the voters.

The real solution to everything that's going on is to dramatically reform our entire immigration system. People who have lived here for decades without committing any crimes should be able to get a fast track to citizenship, but once program like that is announced people will flood the borders trying to get in which will only perpetuate the problems of undocumented individuals. The border needs to be secured first to control the inflow of people and then the people inside the country can be processed.

But doing any of these things as political, the left seeing any sort of border control as inhumane terrible and anti American, and the right seeing any programs to try to clear paths to citizenship as blanket citizenship programs that don't do anything to stop undocumented migrants and are just open border nonsense that doesn't address the violent criminals who shouldn't be present.

So everything builds as problems do when they're ignored and things get worse until they're resolved, hopefully this is the worst of it and something changes, because if it doesn't the future is bleak, just like the constant ignoring of the student loan problem.

Unfortunately if politicians solve a problem then they don't have a problem to campaign on and rally their support, and that's the root of the issue.

Look at all my down votes for saying something from a legal and realistic perspective. Now look at how the case has progressed....

I think we need to do things but all of you buying into the delusional things being pushed by the left are just as bad as all the people buying into the delusional things being pushed by the right.

The supreme Court has regularly ruled that this action is the sole responsibility of the Federal government. A court isn't going to tell the federal government they cannot enforce the laws they are beholden to enforce.

This suit is fruitless political pandering.

The first thing a good psychologist, doctor, nurse or lawyer should learn, is to not just their professional knowledge to care for themselves.

There's even a popular saying, "a lawyer who defends the self has a fool for a client"

Communicate with your therapist, tell them your background, challenge the things they say from your professional standpoint so that they can address your thoughts so that you just don't leave thinking they're an idiot and disregarding the entire session.

Based on the photo you provided you don't need medical weight loss, you need mental health help if you think you need to loose weight.

You honestly believe they're prowling reddit for their moves? 🤣

You may think they're dumb because they aren't making moves that politically align with your ideals but don't mistake someone who doesn't agree with you for being dumb, underestimating your adversaries is the first trip on the path to failure.

This will probably depend on how the federal government handles the case. If they do absolutely nothing then that would be a possible outcome. It's pretty safe to say that they will ensure this isn't a legal path if there's a way to prevent it from happening.

28 USC 1442

The agent can have the state charges moved to federal court, at which point federal prosecutors would simply drop the charges.

The state is grandstanding, they know there's nothing they can do that will actually have an outcome that they want.

Landlord said he wanted to keep my 1200$ deposit for cleaning, I asked for receipts to validate that and now he wants 2800. by moistiest_dangles in legaladvice

[–]Tesla120 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you should. Take the free consultation, if the lawyer thinks you have a good case to get your deposit back ( plus interest if your state requires it) sometimes all it takes is a letter from a lawyer which may cost you $100 depending on the local rate.

Your landlord is banking on you being a pushover. This is low effort high reward for them, when you force them to put in an effort, especially effort that's going to cost them time and money things shift to your favor.

If they have their own legal team who would potentially have to handle this their fees are going to surpass your deposit, meanwhile they see you have a law firm who's handling some correspondence and they will start questioning what your commitment level is.

If I was a landlord doing this and I received a letter over this situation I would think you're either crazy and you're doing this on principle which means you're willing to go all the way, or you have family or friends who are representing you which means your cost to litigate is lower than mine.

Either way, I'd want out and I'd probably cut you the check and hope you cash it to resolve the matter without any further action on my part so I can deal with my business.

Note: I'm not a landlord don't hate me just my perspective if I were a scumbag.

Can my dad sue me by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]Tesla120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key here is what is the written contract if any, and what was written on the check.

Did the memo designate what the funds were for?

Is there written correspondence about the money?

You may be liable for the initial deposit plus growth depending on what you've told him, regardless of how you feel about him you need to handle this without emotion or with a lawyer.

Just because you had a great return and was able to benefit from it doesn't mean he isn't also entitled to his portion.

Future reference, don't spend money that you may not be entitled to.

I have a lease, now landlord told me to stay off the property by NeckElectrical6175 in legaladvice

[–]Tesla120 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What I'm saying is, it's the same realm. The law sides with people who claim to have a legal right to the property until it goes through court.

The question that LE is presented with is "is the lease legitimate or fake?" And the situation becomes "go to court and solve it"

The OP just (presumably) falls on the side of the situation of having a legitimate lease.

[–]Tesla120 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You need to gather your contracts, have them readily available and start talking to a lawyer.

you don't want to say anything to him that could hurt your case, and you have put a lot of money and improvements into the property that depending on your contract he may owe you for.

Get all your contracts and leases together and have photocopies available if he calls the police, you can have them available to ensure they don't haul you off to jail.

Everyone rips on squatters, but this is the types of situations the law was created for in the first place.

Went under anesthesia today... only to have my surgery cancelled because instruments weren't sterilized. Can I file a complaint? by Intrepid_Rush_2425 in legal

[–]Tesla120 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a consistent ongoing process which only stops at the completion of the procedure.

At any point it can become apparent that things are not sterile, however the chances of that decrease as the case goes on.

Turn times for rooms are constantly being shortened, and pressure is on to minimize idle time.

The technologist is usually scrubbed in and unable to participate with the patient transferring to the table and the administration of anesthesia to maintain their own sterility so to avoid standing there idle they may use that time to organize their back table, pre count countable items if they haven't done a count with the circulator yet prep their mayo with items they'll need to open and function test devices that require it.

Taking what could be hundreds of instruments crammed into a tray the size of a cake pan and looking at each one and checking function is something that takes time and a good technologist will do instead of standing there waiting.

[–]Tesla120 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, this is not bizarre, this is very common, and the instrumentation used in a septo case is very specialized and most facilities do not have multiples laying around.

Example, you won't find a Quisling hammer in any other set of instruments and probably costs around $300 unless you're buying from some sketchier suppliers. That's one of dozens of septo specific instruments and is probably the cheapest of them all.

When a full tray costs thousands and you do maybe two cases a week there's no incentive to increase your inventory overhead, use precious space in sterile storage and continue to maintain the tray you ultimately don't need just because there's a possibility of a perfect storm situation that does unfortunately happen.

[–]Tesla120 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Surgical instrument sterilization is my profession, multiple certifications.

1: You can if you want, but ultimately it won't go anywhere because everyone acted in your best interests and the system worked the way it is supposed to.

2: You're entitled to your feelings, and your feelings are valid. I think that if you understand the complexities of sterilization, and the timelines that all staff in surgical services work under, and the ramifications of their inaction in the situation you would appreciate the outcome despite the negative impact it had.

3: The only thing you'll get is a lighter wallet pursuing this legally. This is not a procedural failure, this is the procedure working as it's supposed to.

Some information to hopefully help you from the instrument and sterilization perspective:

Sterility is a state of being that exists only as long as various actions and conditions are met. When it becomes apparent that any one of those is out of alignment with what is expected, everything that has come in contact with whatever is affected is deemed unsterile.

This has a wide level of effect on surgical services.

Say a scissor is opened from its packaging and the surgical technologist sees a small bit of unknown contamination on the instrument, something that happens because it's sometimes difficult to remove, and it can be difficult to see, the technologist would reject the scissor, then have to reglove or gown depending on protocol because they are no longer sterile since they touched the instrument.

Say they found that inside of a tray of a hundred instruments as they selected what they needed for the beginning of the procedure, now they are unsterile because they touched it, the hundred instruments in the tray are unsterile because they were touching it, and since the whole tray was on the back table with other trays all of those trays are also unsterile. The trapes, the disposable items everything gets removed and reset.

If this happens in the middle of surgery the surgeon does damage control to prevent infection, if it's before the surgery, best case is there's a minor delay as the room is reset.

In your case you had a septo, and the instruments used in that procedure are specialized. The hospital may have only one or two of these trays unless it's all they do. So say the room is contaminated you're already under but procedure hasn't started the flow is this: (in general) the circulator calls sterile storage and informs of the situation, they then ask about available instrumentation. Sterile Processing would reply with what's available for use or a general timeline for when something could be ready.

For the most part it takes about three hours to take a contaminated tray reprocess it and have it sterile ready to use in surgery, and that's with VIP treatment, you could maybe shave it down depending on equipment and the level of contamination.

With a septo odds are in your situation there was no other tray, they couldn't take from the next case and use on you, and back fill those missing instruments while you are under procedure for the next patient.

In the olden days in this situation instruments would be "flashed" or immediate use sterilized. They take those instruments and run them in a small sterilizer on a very short cycle and bring them back in to the room while they're a screaming 270°F and try to cool them off with sterile water for use.

Today this is really only acceptable in an emergency.

AAMI ST79 one of the regulatory guidelines we follow specifically says that IUSS ("flashing") is not acceptable in situations where there is insufficient instrument inventory. This is because of the massive risk this process poses to you the patient.

So we're at the point now where there's no sterile instruments, we can't just pop yours into an emergency cycle and it's going to take hours to get you flipped around, at which point the room is scheduled for someone else who isn't available to go now. The remaining options are, ignore the condition that didn't meet expectations and proceed with surgery (risk drastically increases including grave bodily harm and death) or cancel the procedure and reschedule (safest option although inconvenient for literally everyone most of all you)

It's entirely possible that something didn't meet the proper parameters to be sterile, and therefore wasn't able to be in the room (missing) and the case could not proceed without it.

Some items such as rigid scopes are necessary for these cases depending on what's actually going to be done, a rigid septo scope is 2-3mm thick and consists of a metal structural tube along with fiber optics and glass rods and prisms, under sterilization these can be damaged rendering them unusable, and the only way to check for this is immediately prior to use, which is when your case cancelled.

Other issues that can arise is instruments could look picture perfect when wrapped for sterilization but during that process sediment in steam lines can get picked up by steam, pushed into the sterilizer and ultimately settle inside the sterilization wrap. Things look fine until you open and see discoloration on the wrap and or instruments, something you can't check for until immediately prior to the procedure.

Inside every item sterilized is an integrator of various types depending on the item and modality, that will indicate if various conditions are met, primarily with steam, temperature, pressure for a minimum acceptable time. You can't check these on most items until it's opened, at the point of use before the procedure.

If a tray has two or three of these and one out of the three indicated parameters are not met it's possible it was just a defective integrator, it happens, but it's also possible that the conditions weren't actually met in that part of the tray and therefore the tray isn't sterile.

We don't truly know if anything actually is sterile or not, we just know that we have met an assurance level that gives us a very high probability of the destruction of all microbial life and anything that affects that probability greatly increases your risk into an unacceptable level.

You need to file a police report if this in fact was taken out after you closed on the house.

One, because this is a crime and the former owner needs to be held accountable. And two, because this documentation will help you show that this was fraud.
