Worst place I ever got sick was camping in the Sierra Mountains with my family. After a week of camping, on our last night, I was struck with a really nasty stomach bug. We had spent the afternoon drinking margaritas, so when the first wave of nausea hit, I thought it was the tequila. But no. How I wish it had been…

My step-mom had to deal with that for the last couple of years of her father's life. She was POA but the bank still gave her shit every time she tried to take money out for bills or set up automatic payments for his utilities. Also he would walk to the bank and take out HUGE SUMS OF CASH then hide it/lie about it. She…
Well, I did it.
Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy owns Hennessy? You don't say!
They are the BEST. I've used both kinds, the metal ones and the donut ones. The metal ones are not great, they break and can scrape the fuck out of you, but the donut ones are AMAZING.
They make clips for those. They saved my marriage.
The invitations to my November 2001 wedding were mailed on September 10, 2001. The wedding venue? Windows on the World.
"are you sure what you just typed isn't batshit insane?"
The casserole thing was flabbergasting. I mean, really? They might as well have just said "fuck off and die." Nice.
How much you want to bet that's because the majority of nurses are women?
They need to do this everywhere. One of my friend's has a young daughter who has PCDH19. It's an extremely rare and life threatening epileptic disorder. There are only 150 confirmed cases world wide. Her mother is the strongest woman I have ever met and it is tearing her apart to watch her daughter have seizures all…

I think that what bothers me most about the whole thing is that the suits knew pretty quickly after Mr. Duncan tested positive that a big time problem occurred when they discharged him on his first visit to the ER... So you would think that from that point forward, everything and anything that could possibly be done…
I listened to the story and I agree with you. The nurses' safety in lifting patients was less of a priority than the hospitals' wanting to turn a profit and/or buy the latest surgery gizmo. And the story about the woman who was permanently disabled and had to have back surgery? Awful. They gave her a pink slip whil…
People... really like to be part of something? I guess...
I work for a THR entity (not Presby Dallas), and I'd say that the degree to which employees here are critical of Nina Pham is pretty shocking. These are my coworkers - again NOT Dallas employees - so they likely have never met Nina or have any idea about what went on at Presby Dallas beyond what they've seen in the…
Oh jesus. Why? No, I don't want to know.
I think the hospital was also negligent in that Duncan came to them early in his illness and told a doctor and a nurse that he'd just returned from the area of Africa affected by Ebola, and they just wrote him a prescription for antibiotics (What. The. Fuck.) and sent him home. Days later and much more ill, and…
If the hospital had failed to train the staff, and did not provide proper Personal Protective Equipment, I would be angry too. Because, not only would the staff have been in danger, but any other patients those staff would've been in direct contact with would've been at risk. Jesus H. Christ.
