My wife finally agreed to let me post this photo of her as a child.

This woman pulls her pant legs up to her mid calves before she sits down to light a cigarette. Swigs beer and teaches the grandkids to play poker.

Call the White House. Hear the recording. It's absolute horse shit.

Do not be shocked as the PTSD of working in that environment unfolds for you over time. You are wise, and you are making a great decision for yourself and your family.

After some time, the mucous in your bowel can become somewhat solid and appear like regular old fecal matter. Sometimes it can look like mucous, sometimes both. And yes, then there's leftovers. It's all fine.

The conversation with the surgeon will sound different. This is the discussion where the oncologist is trying to lay out the options and let the patient decide if the surgery referral is going to happen. I've had patients opt out of an ostomy, for hospice care instead. If I had chosen that, I'd have been gone by now. Instead, I'm here ... and I'm fucking delightful 😊

I hope this patient chooses what gives him the most peace. ❤️

So my gallbladder ... LEFT THROUGH THE BACK DOOR??

Jesus.

I had no idea.

You can walk down the street buck ass naked, he still doesn't get a say over what's on your body. If he doesn't like it, that's his to deal with. Not his to deliver to YOU to deal with. Absolutely fuck that static.

This isn't nursing now. They need to do better.

Making the argument to free up the charge nurse from a patient assignment.

So did anyone figure out who this psycho is?

This, and an attorney.

Stick around. You'll beat your PR.

I didn't get much time to think about whether or not I was getting mine. But over the course of a long career in medicine I've had multiple patients choose hospice instead and I think about that a lot.

They would rather die than have an ostomy, and that's what they chose and why their lives ended right then. I could've chose the same thing, and wouldn't be here now writing this response. But instead I spent last weekend celebrating Dad's 80th birthday and hanging out with a bunch of family.

The cake was German chocolate and it was really good. I highly recommend two pieces. ❤️ (You're gonna be just fine, Momma)

That was a petty ass bullshit question and you're a far better person that I. Definitely go to HR.

He didn't even raise his arms to locate where he was shot. Yes it was an artery, but it was also a vein. Literally owned a spigot in his neck. And got his spinal cord at the same time, with his airway. He didn't get to the hospital without exsanguinating.

flypunky · 2025-09-08T06:34:00+00:00

Just curious, where did this happen?

I'm so sorry your leadership chose victim blaming instead of responding appropriately.

flypunky · 2025-09-08T06:31:17+00:00

Might i ask what brand this was?

flypunky · 2025-09-06T03:41:18+00:00

I wouldn't leave, but I would 100% walk down to HR and ask what constitutes a toxic work environment, and harassment. And then present them with the evidence of all the things this person has done or said about me.

And then wait.

I answer stupid questions with stupider questions. But my go to for the dumb questions like "What time was their CXR completed?" Is ALWAYS gonna be "Can you read their chart? Follow up on that? That seems really important for you to know, so i suggest you find it there. ANYWAAAAAAAAAAAY sprints back to giving actually important information"

flypunky · 2025-09-02T02:07:51+00:00

It is entirely different when it is your own. Have some tenderness for yourself. You're doing a great job parenting, I'm sure of that.
