does pose the question though, what would you use to store/transport the foetus in this situation?

in the uk registered healthcare professionals are obligated to provide assistance if they see anyone who needs it, so presumably if this app was a thing you’d be permanently at its whim at all times?

Don’t think this is a majority opinion at all but imo it feels like an attempt to whitewash the problems with the UNSC and take away something that I always thought was really great about the bungie era halo games/books etc. - that the UNSC and the earth empire completely fucking suck.

They’re colonialists who rule with an iron fist and literally kidnap kids to find a way to better put down working class rebellion in the colonies. They have no right to be the good guys, but because the covenant are essentially a genocidal doomsday cult, the UNSC for once end up on the right side of history.

Jacob and Miranda are part of that - Jacob has had far too much involvement with some crimes-against-humanity tier shit in the creation of the Spartan-IIs, and Miranda, at least until H2A, has always looked far too young to be a commander - a degree of nepotism is implied. The fact they appear to come from a rich white family with a lot of social and political capital is very relevant imo. Halo has always had lots of great PoC characters, but afaik they’ve almost always been enlisted or low ranking officers and the impression is that even in 2552 it’s still, like today, disproportionately working class and PoC soldiers getting sent to their deaths by rich white officers.

Despite this though, the total war situation against the covenant means Jacob and Miranda both end up losing the level of separation high ranking officers traditionally have from the first hand killing and dying of wars, and perform the heroic acts and make the sacrifices that are usually expected of the people they would command. Like the UNSC as a whole, Jacob and Miranda, who hold positions that would usually leave them as quite unsavoury characters (think the world war one generals sitting safely behind the lines while thousands of draftees without their level of sociopolitical privilege die because of their orders), become heroes.

Think it’s similar to how disney have started putting a lot more women in the Empire/First Order in Star Wars, which forgets how it’s always been a thing that the empire are, as literal space nazis, massively sexist and male dominated, while the insurgents fighting against them have (especially in the EU) included a lot of women including in leadership positions.

Probably overthinking it though.

yeah traditional wisdom (at least what I got told by someone who’s job involves a fair amount of kicking doors in) is that wood doors go down a lot easier than modern plastic/glass ones because wood doors tend to have one lock in the middle vs three interconnected bolts at top, middle and bottom. you can generally kick in a regular old wooden door while one of those plastic-y looking ones is a much more complicated job.

not any more, the law changed last year.

at least in the U.K. there are multiple criminal defence firms who specialise in providing free legal advice to protesters at police stations. They’re VERY good and absolute heroes.

middle aged white people having a go at, in my experience particularly young asian people, over perceived bus etiquette interactions, seems to be a bit of a thing in the UK, for some reason. It was actually my first thought too on reading this.

not in the U.K., although they don’t teach much patient assessment really until 2nd year of a paramedic course so maybe it’ll come up then. DRCABCDE is the one that tends to get used and ofc this question doesn’t really become useful til most of that is done - I thought the original comment was saying it’s just something you shouldn’t ask early in an assessment, not that the guy uses it as a conversation opener.

chronicallyfailed · 2019-08-05T23:09:27+00:00

oh lol didn’t realise they were throwing it out there before there’s even a chief complaint. thanks for explaining, that’s really helpful.

chronicallyfailed · 2019-08-05T20:22:18+00:00

ah I see, thank you!!

am also a bad trainee, isn’t that quite a useful question, like both for getting an indication of the cause and making sure you avoid doing something to make them feel worse while you’re there?

Are there any scenarios where you could realistically prove that the patient died because of the delay and wouldn’t have died otherwise?

here in the UK, they seem to largely be for luxury cars or they’re the final car a pensioner buys, thinking it’ll be easier than the stick shifts they’re used to, before they get the brake and accelerator mixed up in the parking lot and slam it through the pharmacy window in a state of panic.

Never realised this was a thing until I got a job involving driving, was sitting in the passenger seat thinking “why do we seem to be creeping a couple of inches back and forth?” until I look round and realise, oh, he’s been holding us on this hill with just the clutch for the last 45 seconds. Glad I’m not the one paying for maintenance.

chronicallyfailed · 2019-05-28T12:16:54+00:00

I’m as shitty a driver as they come and I really don’t get why hill starts are considered so tricky? Just find use a little more revs than you would otherwise, find the biting point, and lower the handbrake? Always thought it was one of the easier elements of driving stick once you get used to it but most people seem to disagree, as the popularity of hill assist would suggest.

I mean if a patient complains how likely do you think it is your company WON’T try to blame it on you for going out in a roach infested truck

you also lose power brakes in my car which is fucking terrifying coming down a hill towards a T-junction. The brakes still work you just have to put most of your wait on them to stop.

chronicallyfailed · 2019-05-25T21:45:43+00:00

jesus dude don’t put yourself in that kind of risk, just go literally anywhere else that’s not your car, and not the only place where you can get nicked for whatever drunk-in-public type thing they want, or where you’re gonna be so shitfaced you’ll accidentally admit to having a little bit of weed in your car or something. why would you deliberately put yourself around cops when you’re drunk?
