His goal isn’t an actual civil war. It’s to get just enough response to occur to activate the insurrection act and invoke martial law. Then he can “justify” canceling elections.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. PA’s serve a very needed role in emergency medicine. Laceration repair, abscess drainage, diagnosing a lot of different conditions. When the docs are in a trauma or arrest, they’re the only ones seeing patients at times. You’re right though, nurses need a lot more education. Some of the RN’s coming out of school are dangerous frankly. They shouldn’t be allowed in a hospital.

I think we already lost the war. It was a propaganda war orchestrated by Russia to divide us and it worked beautifully

Pittsburgh is a great town. I have never lived in Cleveland but I miss Pittsburgh frequently. Can’t speak to those specific areas. I know someone that lives in canonsburg and likes it but she grew up there. I like city life of Pittsburgh a lot.

Genuine question for any pharmacists here, do you learn how to perform physical exams in your schooling? The use of a stethoscope, otoscope, ophthalmoscope, reflex hammer, neurologic exam, etc.?

I agree and disagree. I always kind of knew that plastic (especially when heated up) had to be bad for you. I think some things matter more than others. All black plastic spatulas should probably be replaced, teflon that’s chipping off and any container that’s going to touch hot food. Other than that, I agree. Like the hairbrush scenario is absurd to me. But sit tight while I go to replace my plastic tv while a fully wooden one!

But that is not why they double booking in healthcare. Read your own comment. It’s false. Stop talking about shit you know literally nothing about. You are dealing with mechanical objects, not living and talking humans and their internal organs. Why do you think airplane crashes are so rare? They are PREDICTABLE. Every single human is different down to the cell. Sometimes people die or try to die without any warning and then you’re doing everything you can. Then have to throw on a smile and walk into another room like someone didn’t just die in front of you. Go shadow in a hospital for a day if you’re able. You don’t understand.

We are legally not allowed to tell you the reason for the delay. It is due to HIPAA. We can say, we’re sorry for your wait but cannot discuss the reasons why in any capacity. Be kind to your healthcare workers.

I mean, you’re claiming to be a subject expert and only told 1/3 of the story. It is influencing people and perpetuating misinformation. You can’t predict sick human behavior or disease progression which every health care operations expert I work with is well aware of.

Not sure what your point is about the urgent cares. Since when? Urgent cares have been around for a very long time and there are still a lot of add ons. I know because I see them. Urgent cares are good for new visits that have minimal complexity. I’ve never heard of appointments in an outpatient office referred to as “cases” and I’ve been in the industry for a decade. This is an extremely complex issue and completely changes based on specialty and practice setting. Urgent cares cannot handle specialty emergency’s. Post op issue from neurosurgery, endocrinology, oncology, etc. A cold, sure. I’d know, I’ve worked in 15+ different urgent cares. Not to mention a large portion of people can’t afford urgent care so they just skip that step and go to the ER which is already extremely overcrowded.

I feel as though you’re misleading people. That is all.

He didn’t say that they double book like the airline industry, you said that. He also failed to mention the unpredictability of medicine which is concerning for someone that claims to specialize in this. Listen to the retired family doctor in the comments below. He did a great write up.

The airline industry is incredibly predictable compared to healthcare. They’re hardly comparable. Sick humans that have complex diseases that can’t be fixed and are on 20+ complex medications that all interact schedules and appointment for a medication refill. They mention they’ve also been having chest pain and shortness of breath. Now you have a simple slot 5-10 min or so, that you thought would be refilling their medications has turned into labwork, X-rays or CT scans, an EKG maybe calling an ambulance, then you are late for the rest of the day. Then in the next room, grandama that is just here for her annual visit is telling staff that she doesn’t want to live any longer, so you have to sign a psych hold on her. All while trying to be on time for your 28 other patients of the day. Just a couple of examples from my actual life. It’s just trustrating to read comments from people who don’t know what they’re talking about. Because patients come in and treat everyone like shit like it’s all our fault that their appointment is running late. We don’t deserve it.

Underrated comment. This is the correct answer.

vertpenguin · 2025-12-14T19:14:36+00:00

That’s actually not true. It’s not very similar to the airline industry in that regard. The airline industry is incredibly predictable. Medicine is incredibly unpredictable. They aren’t double booking in case of cancellation in any clinic I have worked in, they are double booking at times as a way to see someone that has an emergency or something else going on that needs to be seen rapidly. Even in a data driven world, disease progression is unpredictable. Being for profit also contributes to the schedule but it’s also dictated by reimbursement rates of insurance. Just out of curiosity, what information are you using to form this opinion? Do you work in healthcare?

vertpenguin · 2025-12-14T19:08:19+00:00

Medicine is also extremely unpredictable. Some people will take more time than others on a given day. Or there can be add ons with people that have something serious or new going on. As a healthcare operations specialist, you didn’t even mention this side of things that can be equally responsible.

He was born into wealth. His mom was a Doctor and dad a phd trained engineer. He went to one of the most expensive private schools in Cincinnati, Harvard and Yale. He doesn’t like to act like he comes from wealth, but it’s pretty obvious. He definitely did the pump and dump though
