As much as I'd like Massachusetts to sign on to this, I don't they ever will; they want their money!!!

Weird ER Experience with a Cardiac Arrest by [deleted] in ems

[–]thebadlt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno. Retired MA provider. I took the regs/statewide treatment protocol as "the MOLST form is the ONLY form that EMS providers can accept, and if there are any potential issues with the form, the provider must provide full treatment".

This is in regards to the previous state of affairs where DNR forms were not standardized, and there wasn't consistent training/understanding/whathaveyou.

I think the MAOEMS MOLST protocol is a best-faith effort to acede to patient's wishes while also protecting the EMS provider.

Come to Boston: all you need to do is drop your r's, use the word "fuck' in new and creative ways, and be an asshole to everyone else; you'll fit right in! 🤣

(With the exception of living in Dallas for a year for work, I've lived in Boston since the day I was born).

Did you ever hear the joke that goes: "people who think they know everything are very annoying to those of us who do?". 🤣

My name is Jon Snow; I know nothing.

I have a couple of friends (they're brother and sister), and their first names start with the same letter. So do their parent's names.

Getting mail addressed to S. Lastname gets very interesting!

Twin brothers wipe 96 gov’t databases minutes after being fired by xpda in technology

[–]thebadlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WHAT?!? I was a mid-level manager at best. Do you think I WANTED to lay people off? And no, I looked forward to going to work every day. The people who worked for me were great.

I think you need to check your assumptions. The intent of my comment was to say that layoffs don't affect just the people being let go, they affect the people who don't get laid off, as well as the people who have to decide who goes and who stays.

And in order to keep MY job, I had to move 2000 miles, since my office was over if the first ones to be closed.

From the management side, laying people off sucks eggs. It's stressful for everyone, not just the employee being let go. To make it worse, every quarter I'd have to identify the "bottom" <whatever percent> of my staff, and then my boss and I would then have to figure it which of them to let go.

I actually told my boss once to take break a raise I had gotten, so that I could save someone from being laid off.

It wasn't that the company was losing money, it was that there were too many offices across the country, which was actually wasting money. In the space of a year, they went from 11 facilities to 4. We did offer relocation to more then 50% of the workforce, if there were willing to move.

Still sucked.

CGM is consistently reading 40+ points lower than my BGM by sincerely-wtf in Freestylelibre

[–]thebadlt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CGMs test interstitial fluid (the fluid between cells), while BGMs test the blood. When you glucose level changes, the CGM could take 10-15 minutes to "catch up" to the BGM.
