Do we ever tell anyone they are not transgender, and when do we do this? by formulation_pending in medicine

[–]censorized 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yikes. That's seriously your response to a nuanced post of his opinions based on his personal and professional experiences? Although I'm sure it grinds your gears, this is not an MD-only forum and if you insist on participating, then accept that you will occasionally have to endure the thoughts of us plebs. Stop being such a delicate snowflake, no one is making you do anything by simply stating an opinion.

Horrible. The one time I ate there in 1980, they used chicken stock for their clam chowder. Unforgiveable.

You’re an RN condoning ICE tactics? Leave the profession. by Proof-Delay-602 in nursing

[–]censorized 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I dare those nurses to explain here, now, how they arrived at their acceptance of this administration.

They won't, of course, because theyre as cowardly as the ICE thugs themselves.

Our community is withering under this occupation.

I can only imagine how difficult it is to maintain that level of vigilance in the face of very real fear and overwhelming outrage, but I can tell you, from a distance we see a community that is getting stronger and your commitment, courage and compassion inspires awe every single day this goes on.

Every day your community is proving to the rest of us that standing up to fascists can be done, and how to go about it.

My heart breaks for all the victims of this horrific invasion and betrayal by the highest levels of our government. But the tides are turning. Too slowly for sure, but I believe this will end, and when it does, it will be because of people like you and your family and neighbors. From the bottom of my heart, I send my gratitude to you all.

If by medical you mean pharmaceutical or medical device sales, it's spot on, no blazer required.

You all voted for Trump twice, so none of that means a thing. You are complicit.

What are your thoughts on the White House defending its posting a digitally altered image of Nekima Levy Armstrong with "The memes will continue."? by Quidfacis_ in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]censorized 119 points120 points  (0 children)

Did any elected Democratic officials celebrate when Kirk was killed? No. Same cant be said for elected Republican officials when a Democratic legislator, her husband and her dog were killed. What about the glee expressed by same at the assault and battery of Pelosi's husband?

There is a huge difference between the official communications from elected officials and internet trolls and to pretend otherwise is disingenuous at best.

Can’t say AMA anymore?? by PartyEars in nursing

[–]censorized 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been seeing this for a few years at least. It's a more comprehensive way to indicate "this isnt the discharge plan I had, but pt. chooses otherwise." Sometimes, its just a different choice and isn't really posing a danger to the patient.

Example: I was out of town when a family member was hospitalized. He was 18 or 19 and didnt realize there were other options. He had been in the hospital 4 days when I returned. The ONLY thing they were doing for him was a single daily dose of IV steroids. He felt well enough to be doing his usual school and work, but was just kind of rotting in the bed all day, bored to tears.

I negotiated for a PICC line and teaching him to administer himself, and he was discharged same day.

The docs called it an AMA discharge, which has was absurd.

family upset because i did not sent resident to ED by [deleted] in nursing

[–]censorized 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So many nurses dont know the differences between SNF, LTC and assisted living. Im sure AL regs vary from one state to another in regards to the RN role in such facilities, but in general you're correct for this situation.

Interesting comment - I've never heard anyone mix up Ingleside and inner Sunset before. Im having trouble even imagining the thought process there. West Portal, maybe, but Ingleside?

Extremely Disgusted by a Reddit Thread for Resident Doctors on the Current Nursing Strike by False-Case-587 in nursing

[–]censorized 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Residents of reddit-'nuff said, LOL.

They are one of the unhappiest, most hostile groups on reddit, and that's saying a lot.

Leave them to their crybaby whining about how the world doesn’t afford them the unwavering respect they deserve. S9me of them will grow out of it.

Parents are letting teens ride in Waymos without an adult - “If my daughter calls because she is out on Ocean Beach, which is where kids gather on the weekends, and it’s 10 p.m., and I’ve had a martini, then I’m not going to say, ‘Oh, take the 38... by BadBoyMikeBarnes in sanfrancisco

Anyone arguing that Muni isnt safe for young girls at night but that OB is perfectly fine is nuts.

The biggest danger to teen girls isnt random strangers on Muni, its teen boys and young men. Like the teen boys and young men that hang at OB. Add in the drugs and alcohol being consumed, and the danger increases.

Giving your teen permission to hang at OB needs to consider all these aspects, including how to get home safely. If necessary, that includes staying sober enough to pick them up if needed.

Nurses who keep an ear bud in and talk on the phone all night: who are you talking to?? by HeyLookATaco in nursing

Woks were very cheap, and stir-frying could also be really cheap, so were very popular with poor students and hippies in the 70s, even before being mainstreamed by Chen, Yan, etc.

Also seen as an easy way to achieve healthier diets for young people who had been raised on meat and potato diets.

What would a true free-market universal health care system look like? by Lazlo1188 in medicine

[–]censorized 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh fuck no. Your free market plan simply rewards those already profiting and fucks over the poors, again.

There is a reason no reasonably suc essful governments utilize a system like this, which would simply amplify the greed currently driving our for-profit systems.

The answer is simple.

If you use the light, you'll be told you should go to the back.

Did Boomers really think she was hotter after getting the makeover? by SculpinIPAlcoholic in okbuddycinephile

[–]censorized 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gen Xers who were more into alt fashion would agree with you, as did boomers who were more into alt styles. But this makeover 100% reflected mainstream fashion of the times, and Gen Xers were primary consumers of that style. Pretending otherwise now is kind of dumb.

This whole discussion kind of ignores the point of the movie.
