I’m definitely getting Colm vibes lolol

Recommendation seconded! It's a fabulous book.

I had to walk away from a discussion with two of my fellow nurses last night after a vague political discussion. Turns out one injects Fox News directly into her veins and legitimately believes that “the wall” has been built, 45 has hired more POC than Obama, and various other easily disproven bits of nonsense. The…

It was basically what would happen if an internet comment section took on human form and then somehow obtained tigers and meth. 

He’s a tough old bird who beat cancer twice, but I’m afraid he might not bounce back from this. Fuck you COVID, John Prine is an American treasure. 

I finally gave in to the hype and binge watched it last night. Basically it’s what would happen if an internet comment section assumed human form and somehow obtained tigers and meth.

I’m loving all the surrounding states’ offers to trade for Gov Bashear:

One of the most memorable incidents was in jail intake. It’s kind of a triage where we screen for immediate medical needs, health history, drug withdrawals, suicide risk, etc, so we go through a whole list of questions.

Former inner city jail nurse here. We probably had some overlapping clientele.

Yeah, I feel like we're ethically bound to recuse ourselves from this particular contest, lol. A day at work where I don't see/touch something gross is a rarity!

He’s not exactly a peer-reviewed source, but ChubbyEmu has a really informative video that details some case progressions.

Agree. Kind of like someone heard “St Louis-style pizza” while drunk and got it all kinds of wrong

Fixing neglected feet is one of the most satisfying nursing tasks, ime. It’s a small thing in the grand scheme of healthcare, but the effects are immediate and afterwards the patient has functional/pain-free feet and they feel better. It's totally rewarding despite the occasional ick factor. 

The flag on the right shoulder is correct because it’s moving forward, thus that’s what would be visible (from the right side) if it was being carried on a pole. The heart thing may be true as well, but “flag moving forward“ is the military explanation. 

Right?? 100% prison chanclas!

Also, AP is a remarkably chill horse by racehorse standards. He's one of the few that people are allowed to hang out with because he's not snappy and aggressive like most can be. So I really question this account. 

Same. Horses kept me out of a significant amount of trouble during my adolescence.

This is literally the only decision making rubric one needs. 

Um. HCG also appears in cases of germ cell tumors, molar pregnancies, and all kinds of other horrifying things that can kill you. It’s literally a tumor marker in some cases.
