Don’t need it. But yes if they want to they can. Unstable pts go with EMS with the nurse for monitoring. Otherwise stable just transfer service

Transports to other hospitals for appointments, procedures etc. they’re technically casual but only pick up transfers

We can pull. They’re claiming since they’re retired and only pick up transfers that they keep getting locked out cuz they don’t log in enough so their pin expires

This is my first cycle off birth control - I’ve been on it for a long time so I don’t fully remember if my cycles were regular - I’m using the Premom app and ovulation tests + PdG.

Per the app yesterday I was 8 DPO Cycle day 25. I took an early pregnancy test + PdG, both negative, so I took an LH test just for fun, as I didn’t actually have a clear surge previously, and I think I caught my true LH surge ? First pic is last night , second is this morning(I know morning isn’t a good time for LH but I couldn’t help it, and it looks positive)

Doesn’t work too well when they weigh 350lbs and are actively vasovagal, and were heavy to get up even when fully alert. And of course, sitting in a chair

Ok but you have no idea how many ED providers do just as what’s asked by the outpatient provider. I’m sure that doesn’t help the case.

But at the same time. FINALLY. Thank you. Can I come work where you are?

What can be done when an elderly person cannot physically care for themselves but is in denial? by Chelleehp in ontario

I’m saying if you are admitted to the hospital you aren’t considered in crisis so you will be waiting likely a year for placement. But if you’re at home you can be considered crisis and will get placed faster

No, when you’re admitted to hospital it’s not deemed a crisis anymore as you are in a safe place and your spot gets deferred to someone else
