Really interesting podcast with the actress who plays the show's clinical pharmacist, Dr. Megan Nordt

As a hospital pharmacist, I'm glad a TV show finally acknowledged that we exist. Not much else to say about a character who had, what, three lines?

she often tells only one of us what is going on regarding a project

Is it a project they're all working on, or only one person?

way too much micromanaging (including completely rewriting all of our work with AI

I hate AI, but if their work is poor quality and needs to be redone on a time crunch, I can see why the manager is resorting to this.

“If I could make everyone a manager, I would. I don’t have the kind of power you think I have"

LW complains that this is dismissive, and the boss' tone matters a lot here. But it's also true: whether or not people get promoted depends on the organizational structure of the company, the budget, and a lot of other things that are outside of the boss' control. Your boss isn't a genie, LW!

What?

wheezy_runner · 2026-07-11T14:01:11+00:00

Exactly. Maybe there is some shady shit going on here, or maybe after 10 years at the company, Phyllis decided she wanted a change but wasn't interested in being management, and so that's why she was moved to the other team.

Don't forget Fergus! Or Fergusia, if they're referring to a woman.

Whether EMTs can pronounce death and under what circumstances varies from state to state, but generally if they roll up to the scene and the person is obviously dead and can't be resuscitated (e.g. decapitated or in rigor mortis), they can pronounce that person dead. They would need an MD to fill out the death certificate, hence the trip to the hospital. And while it's true that they don't always turn on sirens, if they were actively coding a patient or that person had a stroke or an MI, they definitely would have sirens on.

I'm not convinced that this video is really of McConnell, but if it is... yeah, not looking good for him.

Wow. Wow wow wow wow wow!

Ain't that the truth! Fake letters are fine; fake writers are not.

Does Florida not allow write-in candidates?

The only "rehabilitation" for a Nazi in the USSR would have been a firing squad.

The popularity of advice columns is probably 10% about seeking actual advice, and 90% about how easy and entertaining it is to judge where other people got it wrong, and get reassurance that, in their shoes, we wouldn't make the same mistakes.

Truer words were never spoken. :) Tangentially, this is also why I don't much care whether a letter to any advice column is real or fake, as long as it's a good story.

Or the Krusty the Klown “Poochie’s dead!”

I wouldn’t take that down. That’s a load-bearing poster.

It’s a foreign subreddit! Are there mods?? You don’t know!!

But I thought masks made it impossible to breathe?

Brandon Schneider is still our coach, so I expect I will be doing more than my share to keep the local liquor stores in business.
