If I had an autistic child, I’m pretty sure I would be unhappy and know that the kid wasn’t and would never be perfect. I think it’s okay for parents to be dissatisfied with the outcome of their children. It really depends on the severity of the autism. For people who have very public lives or are , for example, in…

Hillary already got the black vote. She doesn’t need us anymore.

Is he actively trying to sabotage Hillary’s campaign? Because that’s the only explanation I can think of. He’s not a stupid man.

Clearly that black girl is unable to stand on her own two feet without the stabilization provided by white feminists?

Congratulations?

I’m a nurse, and I’m sorry because I know it sounds awful, but I do often tell people that some of the meanest, worst humans I have ever met have been nurses. And that’s the truth. I pursued nursing as a second career because I am overly idealistic and I had this notion that everyone else would be there for the same…

I dunno. I’ve been stuck in the hospital twice now for pulmonary embolisms and all the nurses except one in the general ward have been not fantastic - overworked, grumpy, some of my medications were forgotten (like my immunosuppressants which I do need to stay alive), etc. etc. The opposite was true in both the ICU…

A correct assholes none the less

I thought that post was actually a warning to dudes not to get tricked into ordering an expensive drink to flirt with a girl who is out of your league.

Yep, this is definitely a thing in several countries (Japan, for example). To me this tweet basically says ‘beware someone out of your league showing an interest in you’, which isn’t the worst advice in the world...

You are exactly the type of sucker who that tweet is for. They sell blonde hair dye all over the world you know, not just in America.

I feel inclined to trust and appreciate nurses but also I remember all the sociopaths and/or complete morons I’ve known in my life who have planned on becoming nurses and that makes me nervous...

Absolutely. A nurse shift change once saved my gfs life.

Folks, long term nurse (ER, ICU & Rotor) here and I was also a medic for many, many years and being a patient makes you automatically vulnerable.

I make a real effort to endear myself to the OR staff in those few minutes before anaesthesia takes over in the hope that someone will speak up and/or whistleblow and/or think twice before any shenanigans. Same goes for nursing staff while inpatient. Don’t trust any of them as far as I can throw them, and I have the…

This goes on far more than is realized. Someone I know who works as a medical salesperson sent me a picture of some guy’s penis, which was originally sent by his doctor.

This nurse is awful. This nurse has been rightly stripped of her license. This nurse is no longer a nurse. We have some of the most rigid self governing standards. If this was a doctor, it wouldn’t even make the news.

This happens way more often than you would think...

It makes me ill to think of how many people have taken photos of people in such vulnerable positions - and *haven’t* gotten caught!
