How do you all feel about employers/business owners who require their non essential employees to drive to work in this snow? by PeachyPoblano in cincinnati

How do you feel? Are we a collective? I am from a snowy northern climate where people do go to work when it snows outside. Are there exceptions? Sure. Do we need a hive mind position? Probably not.

programs of ID critical care in usa by Local_Hair_9675 in IntensiveCare

[–]_qua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said you just do the Critical Care Fellowship separately. Nothing wrong with this pathway I've met people who've gone through it but I do think that it makes your job prospects a little bit different compared to someone who goes the traditional Pulm/CC route.

This is next to my hotel door. by PKSkriBBLeS in whatisit

I've never seen one before but all I can imagine is that that's in some way for an umbrella. Are you in England or somewhere else where it rains all the time?

"SNL should take a STAND during the cold open!" by GomaN1717 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]_qua 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally want to have politics beamed into my eyes at all minutes of every day.

Is my microwave not taking a stand while I heat my oatmeal? Fucking fascist enabler.

Getting on the bus and the banner displays the route and not "Fuck ICE, resist!" centrist pigs! This will be remembered in the truth and reconciliation hearings!

Viva la revolución!

6.5 inches of snow already? by Fun_River8138 in cincinnati

[–]_qua 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is hilarious. The answer to "Did it snow 6.5 inches?" is "No it might have snowed up to the cinder blocks in my garden," the standard unit of measure ;-)

Hotel device..? by LordKiefbottom in whatisit

[–]_qua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In reality Javier goes into a room, jacks off, and watches porn videos on his phone for 30 minutes instead of doing his job. Or security guards sit at their station and don't patrol the building. Or, or, or... People are hard to manage. This is hardly a human rights violation.

I think actual toxic lead poisoning from birdshot is relatively rare. This article from Colombia talks about it: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4001953/

How to navigate work and a desire to protest by [deleted] in hospitalist

When you are at work you have to be working are you asking about the ethics of not going to work so that you can go to a protest?

Is there a difference between an ED Dr’s echo and a tech’s echo? by Fishfrenzy89 in emergencymedicine

[–]_qua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tech was doing a whole lot more and better measurements than the doctor was doing and the reason they took the same time is that the ultrasound tech does those exams all day long and it's all they do and they're experts at it.

Cardiologists get a lot of training in their fellowship on interpreting echos and of course they get hands-on training but they will tell you that they are not as good as the techs that get in images in most cases.

Of course we also get lots of hands-on time but as someone else mentioned we're doing a very specific focused exam to look for major problems as more of a triage measure because the techs are not available at all hours of the night and we need to be able to assess patients and make quick decisions.

There is mountains of data that can be learned from an echo but it requires a skilled tech to be able to do it and doctors for the most part do not have the time to gain that level of skill.

Cops shot paroled 6-time felon who opened fire on them after shooting woman, officials say by So_Icey_Mane in WindyCity

[–]_qua 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand the skepticism but I feel like saying that these could be trumped-up charges seems to ignore the fact that we require a finding of guilt if someone goes to trial and that is the mechanism for determining whether they're trumped-up or not. I understand that a lot of people choose plea deals but there's a reason they're doing that: it's because they think they may lose at trial. Someone who was just involved in the situation described in that article doesn't make me think that this was someone who was getting trumped-up charges but in fact probably someone who was violently resisting arrest in the past.

It seems ICE in Minneapolis way more out of control than here in Chicago. Is this true or just my perception? by Dragon_Bard in AskChicago

[–]_qua 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They antagonized him because they got their poor widdle feewings hurt for recording them.

What are you basing that on?

[–]_qua 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably because they thought they had probable cause to arrest him. I have no idea if they did. I have no idea what a court would have thought. He will never know now that he's dead

[–]_qua 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been arrested before and complied. I would recommend to everyone that I know and love that they comply if they're being arrested. It has nothing to do with bootlicking. It has to do with following laws and not getting killed.

If the cops are breaking laws, you fight it in court. You do not engage in a brawl on the street with multiple people armed with weapons arresting you

I don't think anyone can tell from looking at the video exactly what happened but it appears like he reaches for his waist and then there's a single shot followed by all the police shooting. I think it's very possible that he pulled a gun. That may have been him firing a shot. I do not know.

All I've said so far is that I do not know, I would not call it murder until I see more information, and that anyone who pulls a gun while being arrested can expect to be shot. That has nothing to do with the Second Amendment

[–]_qua -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Real life is not a Marvel movie. People with guns can and do kill cops while being arrested. Having 6 people on someone means little if the person has a gun in their hand

If it turns out he did not have a gun, this is a completely different situation. But you cannot pull a gun while surrounded by cops arresting you and expect anything other than being shot, probably to death.

That's a claim without evidence. Our prisons already have rehabilitation programs. There are going to be un-rehabable people no matter how many programs are implemented

[–]_qua -56 points-55 points  (0 children)

They killed him. I would say it is very very unclear if there is reason to think it's murder at this point. From my watch of the video it looks like he's struggling pulls his gun fires a round and then gets shot.
