A level of 40, which only corrects to 60 with supplemental oxygen, REQUIRES intubation to survive. And her parents DECLINED it. That’s the most horrifying part of this already-all-around-horrifying story for me. When she finally got intubated 3 days later, the damage had already been done, and she died the next day.…

This poor kid. So mom is a nurse and step-dad is a PA. And they treated her at home with prescription meds and grandpa’s oxygen. I hope that the state’s licensing bodies are looking at this. The regulations governing prescribing and dispensing are pretty clear. This exceeds their scope of practice.

Social Media in particular. Nothing like giving the equivalent to a nuclear powered megaphone and a handy directory of shitheads with agendas to fuel your moronic tendencies.

Fuck Zuckerdick and his goddamn ‘basket of oily rags and book of matches’ making machine in particular though. The massacres in Myanmar is gonna…

Facebook in particular. 

I work in a medical office as clinical staff and I sometimes just can’t believe the conspiracy theories being thrown around the break room by the nursing staff

The internet was a mistake. 

There are an alarming number of nurses buying into crazy conspiracy theories about COVID-19, or who are dismissing it as no big deal. This shit has very real consequences.

Look, it’s completely feasible to build a bonfire large enough to burn this entire administration at the stake.  These malicious fucking assholes absolutely deserve such a fate.

Have you seen her answering questions? Cuz she is very much a moron. Evil moron but a moron nonetheless.  

Republicans are beefing over whether or not they want to go through with hosting an in-person national convention in Jacksonville, Florida, as the state deals with an alarming spike of covid-19 cases. Covid-19 is dangerous for anyone to contract, especially the old ass men and women who run the Republican Party, which…

As much as I hate Trump, and I really really hate him, its Betsy DeVos that I truly wish beyond the worst for. She doesnt get the excuse that shes a moron like he does.  Shes truly an evil, reprehensible person.

I work for a similar place and have been lucky in this sense too. It’s been kind of fun to get to “meet” my clients’ dogs, etc. on calls - I think it’s led to closer professional relationships if anything else. Makes us all seem more human. 

The worst people in the world to work with as a single mother are dudes who are childless or who have stay at home wives. They have literally no concept of how much work kids are, or expect that any/all childcare duties are a woman’s responsibility. They also seem to think that kids can be made to be completely silent…

I am in a very similar situation. One year old and four year old, husband and I both working at home. We could survive on his salary but not on mine. We made the decision early on that if one of us has to let their job responsibilities slide, it’s me. I try to work as much as I can during the day, but I have to take a…

This is just absurd.

Again, people don’t quit jobs — they quit bosses. And we’re rapidly determining which companies are trying to do the right thing, and which are just... fucking terrible.

This is another example of why I haven’t complained about pushing back my wedding.

That ICE decision is so fucking short sighted and cruel. Many colleges rely on international students to pay full tuition, which allows them them to grant additional aid to US students. Schools are going to be forced to hold in person classes and put hundreds of thousands of people at unnecessary risk, or risk losing…

If President Bolsonaro has only a mild case of Covid, then he can double-down on his claim that it’s “just a little flu.”

Ohhhh, cool. Opinions by an unelected official who’s sketch af & lives here...
