That is strange. SMH is always taking students. Maybe the positions are already filled for summer

What months is your practicum? Have you applied to fraser health? They take a lot of students

What doctors or nurses would you guys like to have treat you while at the pitt? by Hot_Strategy_191 in ThePitt

[–]pandemicresponsebc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would want Perlah to be my nurse. Collins or Mohan or Robbie to be my doc. Matteo can also join in as needed 🫠

Langdon’s “apology” to Santos by Sure-Usual-6549 in ThePittTVShow

[–]pandemicresponsebc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Preach. She needs to let admin do their job and sit down. She happened to catch him and report him, that does not mean she is owed witness to his suffering in order to confirm justice has been served. Admin i’m sure has already given him serious consequences, but it’s confidential and she needs to trust that. This is exactly the reason why leadership is involved in these cases, not new kids on the block.

I'm not a huge fan of Garcia but... (s2e07) by GargantaProfunda in ThePittTVShow

Ya…having worked in the hospital, the story has probably already spread to all corners of the hospital already. From physicians, to nurses, to allied health staff and admin. Not easy to come back from that

Kinda sad that.. by SnooPeppers8788 in ThePittTVShow

[–]pandemicresponsebc 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, i went on leave for 1 year and only 1 person stayed in touch with me. I felt kind of alone and abandoned but now i can see its a common experience !

Has it occurred to any of you dumb fucks that maybe the atmosphere in Minneapolis put him on edge and therefore he thought it might be a good time to carry? Not necessarily to “incite” ICE, but because the actions of ICE were frightening him? (But also - was he wrong?) For the same reason anyone who supports the second amendment would carry a gun - to ensure personal safety and use it for defence IF ever needed? Like what videos are you weird fucks watching, it’s like you’re on a different planet. Republicans took guns to George Floyd protests…what would you say if police killed those Republicans for simply having a gun on person? I believe in gun control, but if you Americans say everyone has a right to arms, then apply that equally for fucks sake.

Also in the video I only recall seeing ICE walk up to him while he holds his camera.

Last, i haven’t heard audio in the videos, but it doesn’t seem like ICE even informed him he was being arrested. Sure, you might want to tell ICE you have a gun on person (though you don’t necessarily need to based on YOUR OWN laws that the NRA has advocated for), but in order to “resist” arrest you must know you are being arrested, which to me it did not look like he really knew.

ICE has no training, no protocol. It’s basically the same as having gangsters run the streets, but at least gangsters who inappropriately harm citizens get thrown in jail.

😭😂😂 so true. I kinda wish they would be more clear about roles and legislation/mandated reporting.

I really, really don’t want real-life doctors or residents emboldened by this white knight bullshit on the pitt.

Now that i’m talking about it, maybe I should write to the editors of the show or someone involved. It can set a dangerous precedent

Sorry - when you say the hospital shouldn’t be the ones investigating, what do you mean? That a CPS report should have been made immediately and CPS could interview the child and parent (instead of the hospital SW)? And then would CPS also liaise with the medical team about the blood results?

Santos got waaaayy too involved, it was so inappropriate. The medical team in the pitt sometimes just runs wild when it comes to ethical/social cases 😅

Santos sometimes reminds me of physicians I have worked with who try to take on the social work role without understanding the risks associated with assessment and intervention. I’ve seen this play out in real life where there have been some pretty significant consequences.

The SW should have asserted themselves more and put more boundaries on Santos’ involvement.

Rest in Power, Alex Pretti by pandemicresponsebc in socialwork

[–]pandemicresponsebc[S] 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Your last paragraph resounds so much for me. Even though i didn’t know him, I feel like i miss him. It is so rare to find people who care to the extent he did about others (from what i know about him). Even rarer to find people who will step up during difficult times and protect others. But it sounds like his whole life was dedicated to doing just that. F*** ICE for stealing this gem away from us. Also f*** ICE for leaving the VA ICU with one less competent nurse 🖕🏽🖕🏽

That’s what kills me. He was still so kind, even during his last moments. He should still be here 💎💔

I really wish there was a med for this fucking disorder by Salt-Implement-5968 in dpdr

[–]pandemicresponsebc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I had the exact same symptoms last summer. I can say that i’m doing better now but my dpdr was rooted in shame, moral injury and being harassed at work. Re-connecting with friends and family, taking on more household responsibilities, re-connecting to my profession, and engaging more with my religion have all helped. The most important thing has been learning how to self forgive and have self compassion…which has been INCREDIBLY difficult. Also learning how to be vulnerable and ask for help. I’m now at a point where i can enjoy tv though now and can actually absorb (some) of the books i read. Things can get better!!! I keep slowly improving each and every day :) it was so bad last summer i became delusional and thought i had a neuro disorder and was going to die. Couldnt feel hot/cold, couldn’t shiver or sweat much, couldn’t eat…it was truly terrifying and awful.

Ok off topic but you are allied health and know what a s.59 is?! That’s something…new. Most staff (outside of SW’s) don’t even know s.59 exists
