The element that makes this story more of a “yeah, so she’s a woman who cares about her family” is that she could get in there and actually know what to do to help. The fact that she is a medic makes it interesting, IMO. And am glad that it looks like everyone is going to be OK.

Absolutely and I freely admit I am judging based on a public persona that does not seem to mind having her child photographed. I had three under the age of 4, I’m well versed in crying and extreme-pain-distress crying. Those pics could have been taken with a super high speed lens too. I’m just glad someone was…

That was the dynamic where I worked too. We needed to give handoff report without interruption because these patients were so sick. It was preferable to do this at the bedside. The only people I never asked to leave were the elderly spouses who just sat there quietly and held their loved one’s hand.

We did that too. Even if it meant clearing the rest of the ICU due to a physical space issue. When possible, we were able to get a private room in the hospital to bring the patient to and encouraged family presence, provided sustenance (coffee, tea, etc) and kept patients are comfortable as possible. Usually an ICU…

When a medic intubates on scene and then transports, that’s not good. The officer has probably been around long enough to know when a call is not going well and a person is very sick or near death. Especially if officer administered narcan didn’t work.

Not in any ICU I worked in - unfortunately. We only asked people to excuse us for group rounds twice per day. Some complied, some didn’t. It was up to the Nurse’s discretion until a family complained. Then they got to pile in and I asked the CNO to come up for a minute (she was awesome and always available as this was…

How very Oliver Twist. But I bet they are comfortable in the way that a flowing Eileen Fischer pants set would be.

Little Girlfriend should already know that she has been forsaken. I can’t laugh at this because of her mother. Whichever Kardashian her mother is really needs to pay attention.

I’m baffled that her mother didn’t even help pick her up off the ground. The friend standing behind the car did though.

It seems tamed. Like an advisor told him that his hair “doesn’t play well” in the midwest.

This man appalls me to the point where my rage leaves me blind. Which I suppose is just fine, this way I won’t see my son with autism “misbehaving” or worry have to worry about my darker skinned family members proving their US citizenship.

You can’t die from an anxiety attack. You may feel like you are dying and the symptoms are taken seriously by medical people. If I have a patient who feels anxiety along with chest pain, I’m going to make sure it’s NOT a heart attack before I refer to psych.

Probably couldn’t hurt. Probably a lower fiber, low sugar, dairy free until he gets the hang of his “new normal” I have the opposite problem with gastroparesis but the result is the same. I was sick enough to have a feeding tube for almost a year. I am still afraid to eat sometimes - especially if we are far from home…

The world has completely gone insane. It’s not just you.

Trickle down fleeces.

That’s where the police, fire and teacher pensions have gone. Right into his fleeces and the $80,000 worth of snacks during Giants season.

They call it “Taylor Ham” in places other than NJ and PA, I think.

Sometimes it can be idiopathic. Which is just mortifying.

It’s a shame that this man didn’t have sufficient time to recover from his surgery before going back to work. NJ is usually good with short term disability and I have issues where I’ve been on LTD since 2013. It’s a lot of paperwork but they only wanted to see me in person once. I hope this man gets the financial and…

I think we are on the same page. I see no reason why this guilty person who committed this crime should be executed. Sorry if my posts were confusing.
