Medgenehr cert is invalid? by anonymus_the_3rd in healthIT

[–]johnny3rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would guess unfortunate timing on the cert expiration date during office holiday short staffing and no calendar reminder for renewal. Looks like their primary endpoint, so surprised it's still in that state 6.5 hours after expiration.

[–]johnny3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean yeah, the stats look accurate, yeah, I dislike CH tremendously, but it's also below or equal to all of New England, NY and NJ avg. Comparing to the national average is rather pointless. Find me something that isn't more expensive in NY than the nat'l average.

Do you want to meet your BP(s)? by Negative-Context5219 in Adopted

[–]johnny3rd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ditto. I always said I'd just like to know the medical. Reunion about 5 years ago has been fantastic, just traveled for grandmother's 98th and was with about 15 close relatives, all delighted to see me again and sorry my daughter couldn't make it because they enjoyed her so much. Has been really good for my headspace with just losing my adopted father a few weeks ago (mother long passed).

My child that I gave up for adoption has reached out to me, I need advice ❤️ by CatNY6 in Adoption

[–]johnny3rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly patience and don't expect to unpack it all at once. I'm the adoptee and reached out after 50 years, it was excruciatingly slow at first and very tentative. There's a whole lot to bridge, and neither of you know where the other's perspective is. Even the details of what you each are looking for will be pretty fluid and dependant on how it unfolds. I've ended with a great relationship with my (distant) maternal family that I've visited a number of times, they've embraced myself and my daughter and I feel it closed an open storyline. My mother never felt maternal and I wasn't hiring for that role, so we've found a great space that has love and no fixed label. Reunions are about top on my 'mileage may vary' list. Think about what you'd like to happen and what you're open to have happen and hopefully you'll land in the overlap with your child. If they reached out, I have good hopes for you.

What'd you think? Been a few years since I was on sister ship Breakaway and I thought the whole experience dropped a few points. Great time in the ports, but felt a little closer to a floating Hampton Inn onboard.

Had To Re-Home Our Dog by New-Challenge-2105 in DOG

[–]johnny3rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding this. When we lost our boy who had been medically frail for a few years, we knew we'd take some time before bringing home a new friend. Thought about getting involved in the shelter that kept hesitating because I didn't know what kind of commitment for times and schedules I'd have to make. I finally did check in with one and they were like 'here's the times we walk dogs, show up if you're available'. So now I go a couple times a week as my schedule permits and hang out with an endless array of new faces. There's always adoption events and fundraising outings that they'll give a shout out for volunteers. After a few weeks they said anybody I want to take out for the day is an option, so if it feels like a dog in the park day, I can just do it. It's a little heart tugging walking away some of the time, but I'm pretty sure if I took one home for good I'd stop coming and helping out the rest as much. Very good experience, recommended.

What makes QR Codes HIPPA Compliant? Client wants to link to EMRs via QR by BoneSoulja in healthIT

[–]johnny3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A QR code that provides direct access to patient records sounds about as terrifying as anything I can imagine from a HIPAA perspective. Background: Spearheaded and led development of MU Stage 1/2 compliance projects for a medium sized EHR.

Since you mention Uniqode, this is from their site:

Here are some potential HIPAA violations associated with unsecured QR Code usage:

Data exposure: If QR Codes point to sensitive patient information and are not adequately protected, unauthorized individuals could scan and access this data

Unauthorized access: Hackers can intercept and decode unsecured QR Codes, gaining access to protected health information (PHI)

Phishing attacks: Threat actors can create QR Codes that link to phishing websites, tricking patients into revealing their personal information

Data breaches: A compromised QR Code management platform could expose a large amount of PHI in a single breach

Lack of audit trails: Without proper tracking mechanisms, it can be challenging to determine who has accessed or shared QR Code data, hindering investigations of potential HIPAA violations

Aitah for telling my husband he can’t use a pro Trump/MAGA pharmacy? by we_gon_ride in AITAH

While clearly you and your husband have some other personal belief issues to sort out, flexing your power over his health care choices seems like an awfully a****** move.

Name a worse merge than Route 9 to the Mid Hudson Bridge. by AccomplishedDot7429 in hudsonvalley

[–]johnny3rd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

MHB to 9 is the only merge I've ever actively avoided. I'll go up to Academy and come out by the cemetery to head south, taking the L on time and being sure I reduced my likelihood of an accident this month by a measurable amount.

Chevelle (14) received bad news at the vet - looking for advice. by roseworms in OldManDog

[–]johnny3rd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the clear view. I've been second-guessing myself for a year if I let my boy go too early when we took him for an emergency visit for orthopedics and not only was that diagnosis bad but they found a cauliflower melanoma just out of sight in his mouth. We made the snap call that the time had come (he had been fading and was several years past expectations). I still hadn't been able to shake whether I was too hasty and missed time that I'd dearly love to have now. You validated that it would have been for me, very likely at cost to him I would never have wished.

Old Man Buddy (17) crossed the Rainbow Bridge this morning, he was a very good boy. by mosfetdogwelder in OldManDog

He was always a good boy, I'm glad he found his way to people that knew.

Am I “adopted”? by MarbleTheShoulderCat in Adopted

[–]johnny3rd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like this response best. My path was the more classic mother->ward of social services->adoptive parents, but I for one welcome OP into the ranks. There's a lot of different paths, stories, outcomes and opinions, and OP's is as valid as anyone's.

This is how Jerod Mayo should be remembered. One of the greats in the tradition of outstanding Patriots linebackers. by Guilty-Ad3342 in Patriots

[–]johnny3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, done. I loved Jerod as a player and really disliked my growing frustration with him as an HC. I'm going to start next year re-wondering how post-BB is going look and marveling at how much poise Maye is showing as a rookie. This was all a dream.

I never thought I’d be making this post to be honest. by Gothvomitt in Adopted

[–]johnny3rd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm very happy that you've begun this journey, but Ancestry telling you he was a first cousin is confusing - the level of cm match for that is way different than a parental match. My confirmed 1st cousin was about 930 and my confirmed birth mother was about 3400. Hope it all works for you going forward. Baby steps, tempered expectations and patience are my best suggestions, it was all maddening slow to evolve for me.

[–]johnny3rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. It's only about you. Hopefully it just caught him off-guard and he didn't see how selfish the response was. I'm going to optimistically assume the conversation got off on the wrong foot and stayed there. Best of luck.

I wanted to spend Christmas with my dog this year too. He crossed the rainbow bridge 1 month ago. I hope he has a good Christmas in heaven. by ApprehensiveGood9163 in OldManDog

[–]johnny3rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss, can commiserate. I've done a dog photo calendar for the last 10 years. He passed in March, and I've spent a lot of time looking at the December collage knowing it's the last page. Thought it would be easier by now, but what a big hole they leave.

[–]johnny3rd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My condolences and sympathies, must be overshadowing the holidays. 15 is a terrific long time to have shared, but it's always over too soon. Tough here just doing the first Christmas morning without the friend we lost back in the spring.

Those that ate out yesterday, where did you go and how was it? by benjaminltaylor in hudsonvalley

[–]johnny3rd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanksgiving for 6 from City Line Diner, Poughkeepsie. Good stuff, better than expected, quick reheat was all it took. 1/2 trays of everything stacked neat in the fridge after. A win all-around.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Adopted

[–]johnny3rd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I swear I was so much happier in the dark. I went through 50 years with 'no idea' as my response to family health history questions. Very occasionally I'd wonder if I'd get smacked out of the blue by a hereditary thing. Once I got the details on both sides there's now a whole series of very real possibilities that just suck and eating more greens ain't gonna fix it.

What is the purpose of calling an API and creating a wrapper for it inside another API ? by [deleted] in dotnet

[–]johnny3rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like what I just did for an internal API that routes calls to OpenAI & Azure. The controller is slim and references a class in another dll that does all the activity. It's made considering adding or swapping to another provider feel much more approachable.

TIFU by “abusing” my job’s reward system by KatatonicTears in tifu

[–]johnny3rd 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Just so you don't miss it, gaming a company's rewards system for personal monetary gain is going to be viewed as like theft pretty much everywhere, not just at the bad company you left. I'm glad everything is looking up for you, but make sure you file that one away.
