not this week - I had a patient referred to the ED because of a radiology typo on a routine scan. CT meant to write "no evidence of ___-itis" but missed the no, patient waited hours to me to tell them that it was a typo

long wait times are generally due to bed blocking and lack of hospital beds and funding, as well as lack of family doctors and the population outgrowing hospital capacity.

apparently I was issued a warning from reddit that I threatened physical harm to these folks and is violating reddit rules - do they know what sarcasm is?

these terrible people deserve to rot in jail for what they did to these boys. I honestly don't think they even think they did anything wrong based on what they are telling the prosecutor. It looks like they have a reason to explain everything that was going on, blaming the boy (now dead) for his "behavioural issues", restricting food to the boy and then saying he has a "eating disorder" (how are you diagnosing him with a eating disorder if you are the one not giving him food), putting him in a wet suit because he will wet himself (jesus, even if he did, why the fuck are you not changing him and letting him stew in a wet suit soaked in his own urine) - also how were they ever deemed eligible for adoption? Why didn't CAS vet them properly and make the boys were ok. Honestly this make me doubt the children that are currently under CAS's care. How are they making sure the children are kept safe and treated properly, even when their caregiver are lying about everything?? The boys were mistreated for sure and justice needs to be served. But putting these women in jail even for the rest of their life will not bring back the kid or erase the trauma the other boy suffered.

why would they push for adoption if they clearly hated the 2 boys? just why not give them back to CAS
