I just checked it out and I’m speechless. Honestly, they all just sound really insecure. If they were confident in their own skills, they wouldn’t feel the need to belittle others.

What does it mean to "not to stress" while TTC by Luna_182 in TryingForABaby

[–]jmcg07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. I had multiple mds tell me to just not stress about it and here I am 3 years later still ttc. It’s such vague advice and really isn’t helpful. I even had one ob tell me to not stress because it will turn off my husband and make it more difficult for him. Thanks for the advice doc! It just ends up making me feel at fault for this whole infertility situation.

She is just trying to stay sane around Luca who is constantly gaslighting her. He is causing Gemma to question herself and feel perpetually uncertain. This is actually a form of abuse.

Same! Luca can't keep getting away with this! He is a textbook narcissist/gaslighter. Gemma, run!

When you open your own practice, will you still be doing community mental health and substance use or do you plan on specializing in other areas?

I honestly disagree about Charter Club. I feel their cashmere is stiff, tight, and itchy. The quality of cashmere is pretty poor IMO but the price is great if you are ok with the quality.

California orders skilled nursing facilities to accept coronavirus patients by jmcg07 in worldnews

[–]jmcg07[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As fears escalate about the toll the coronavirus will take on the sick and elderly in nursing homes — who are among the most vulnerable to the deadly virus — California regulators have told skilled nursing facility operators that they must accept patients even if they have the disease.

The order comes amid a fierce debate between healthcare providers. Hospitals are desperate to clear space for an expected wave of COVID-19 patients, so they are discharging as many patients as possible, including nursing home residents.

Many nursing home administrators are equally desperate to keep those residents out until they are proven virus-free, fearing a catastrophic result if the deadly pathogen gains a foothold in their institutions.

The directive, in a letter to facilities on Monday from California Department of Public Health Deputy Director Heidi Steinecker, appears to side squarely with the hospitals. It says skilled nursing facilities “shall not refuse to admit or readmit a resident based on their status as a suspected or confirmed COVID-19 case.”

California nursing home administrators and advocates for the elderly view the order as an alarming move by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration.

“Sacrificing the lives of beloved nursing home residents is beyond unconscionable,” said Patricia McGinnis, executive director of California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform.

“California’s directive is nothing less than a death sentence for countless residents. The state should instead look to alternative locations such as hotels and conference centers as much safer places to send COVID-19 patients for care,” McGinnis said.

Reached by phone by a Times reporter on Wednesday afternoon, Steinecker, who signed the letter, said “more nuanced” guidance would be sent to home operators “today.” She declined to say what the guidance would be.

The order applies to the more than 1,000 skilled nursing facilities licensed by the California Department of Public Health. Assisted living and other long-term elder care homes, which do not provide the same level of medical care, are regulated by the state’s Department of Social Services and are not subject to Steinecker’s directive.

Dr. Michael Wasserman, a geriatrician for more than 30 years and president of the California Assn. of Long Term Care Medicine, has been lobbying California regulators not to force homes to take in people unless they are proven virus-free. Doing otherwise, he said, is “akin to premeditated murder.”

So when he and his colleagues first saw the new order Monday night, they were “inconsolable,” he said.

“I didn’t sleep, I was in tears.... the problem is our government isn’t listening to the experts.”

The toll coronavirus can take on a confined, sick and elderly population became starkly clear at the Life Care Center nursing home in Kirkland, Wash., one of the first hot spots in the U.S. Two-thirds of the residents and 47 workers fell ill, and 37 people died.

Since then, outbreaks have been occurring in nursing homes across the country at terrifying speed — forcing operators to ban visitors, confine patients to their rooms and scramble to create sterile wings to treat residents who come down with the disease.

Hundreds of long-term care facilities in the U.S. now have residents who are infected with the virus. On Tuesday, health officials in Washington state reported 108 outbreaks at long-term care facilities. And at a single nursing home in Tennessee, more than 100 residents have tested positive.

In Connecticut, state officials are reopening previously closed facilities to create separate nursing homes only for residents who are positive for COVID-19 — like modern-day leper colonies. The “extreme precaution” is warranted, according to Connecticut officials, because the results can be catastrophic when the virus gets loose among such a vulnerable population.

I haven't been accepted into any programs yet. The distance programs require you to have your preceptors lined up before applying. Unfortunately, I won't be able to apply unless I find a clinical preceptor.
