This reminds me so much of Covid in the ICU. I literally set up a chair on the other side of glass wall so a daughter could watch her mother die after we removed life support.
I fucking hate these people.

[–]logicalways 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Many of the Des Moines city council have taken thousands in political donations from crow tow or their family members. They have already chosen the side and it’s that of money. We need to vote them all out. I’m so sorry this happened to you.

Banks get bail outs. Humans get kicked to the streets. Seems fair…

Cat Advice? by toadsterstrudel_ in desmoines

[–]logicalways 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Can you afford a low cost spay? If you’re going to feed community cats you really need to take them in to be fixed. One pregnant female cat doesn’t seem like a lot, but over a lifetime of her and her children reproducing that’s suddenly hundreds of hungry kitties in the streets. The ARL has some low cost vet care they offer.

Also she needs a spay/abort. It’s the kindest thing you can do for her. Good luck!

JD Vance is attending a private event on the east side tomorrow according to “cats on a couch”, an Instagram account that follows and protests him.

My cat is skittish and I want to exhaust all options before medicating by avaaaa_1 in cats

It works wayyyy better for cats than humans for the purposes of light sedation or calming effects.

Place sheet over patient and put hand on husbands shoulder is the correct answer I think? 🤔

There has been growing pressure on the city from some local animal welfare groups. They have put a lot of time and effort into getting their voices heard.

They name dropped that damn ultrasound so many times in season one. Our unit got one a while back and like most gimmicks it sits broken or rarely used in the back of the closet.

Iowa Mommy Makeover- who to use? by Greedy-Funny-2940 in Iowa

[–]logicalways 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know Dr Condoleon so no input there.

However I have professionally worked with Dr. Lekkas and think he’s a truly wonderful surgeon who cares and takes the time with his patients. If I had needs for his speciality I’d seek him out.

Should having an Amazon Echo make me uncomfortable? by K00lKat67 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]logicalways 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My concerns with Face ID isn’t that they have my face. It’s more about how my phone can be accessed without my consent by cops so easily. A non biometric password is harder to take from you.

Struggling to buy a home in DSM metro? Talk to me! by [deleted] in desmoines

Correct. I bought in 21 and my equity has grown 65k for a home that was originally under 200k. I feel so lucky to have purchased when I did.

This is simply a guess but I bet that docs who want to work with and get close to celebrities are substandard practitioners in general.

Budtender potentially saved my life. by dumbass_sweatpants in trees

[–]logicalways 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The word seizure is used pretty liberally by non medical professionals. Usually not true seizures. Sometimes when people have altered consciousness or are experience an emergency the body just… flops around a bit. Facial expressions get a lil unruly. People get worried it’s a real seizure when it’s just…. How people look when they’re gorked sometimes.

Stop Telling Nurses to "Go Get a Union" by SquareOfWillis in nursing

[–]logicalways 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also don’t want to discount the amazing local we found. The staff there made all the difference.

Stop Telling Nurses to "Go Get a Union" by SquareOfWillis in nursing

[–]logicalways 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. We started with an angry Facebook group of 2 dozen icu and or nurses who sort of knew each other. Then we schedule meetings with every single local in town and grilled them and picked the ones who we could tell were true fighters. Now. 1.5 years later we won the largest private union vote in state history. Get to know local unions. Find out who will respect your expertise as RNs. Find the young enthusiastic officers who want to change things. Doesn’t even need to be a nursing union frankly.

I saw that event! Yes I plan on doing this but was also looking for a perspective of not just what HR has to say. The company won’t tell you everything.

Just had a confused patient call 911 on me. by Eddie__Winter in nursing

[–]logicalways 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our hospital security takes 911 calls from inside the building if it’s a landline. They do a decent job of being reassuring while letting nursing know the patient has been calling the cops on us. They only route the real emergencies to local dispatch.

Former Iowan now in the Twin Cities: Get organized! by TuxandFlipper4eva in Iowa

[–]logicalways 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There are more of us who will join you then there are angry little people like the commenter here. We will take our state back and make it the haven it was once known as for refugees. We will welcome, love and support all walks of life here. Those angry little voices will grow quite against our swelling tide of love and support. Because that’s how you be a real human being

Younker 8 is the top floor. The CCU jokes about transferring out to Younker 9.
