In the wake of Thursday’s mass shooting at an Oregon community college, a screenshot is circulating that purports to…
Insurance companies need to get on board. Most families can’t cover the out of pocket costs for these tests.
This is going to reignite the debate about EKG’s as part of routine physicals for high school athletes. Perhaps a doctor can speak to this, but it’s not absolute that an EKG would detect something, also the cost is an issue.
The similarities end at the coercion part. That could be why you have various laws on the books that keep sex with a minor and child endangerment separate.
I am not saying ban it. I am saying arrest all Pop Warner coaches and parents who “make men of their boys” by playing a game where concussions are “just part of the game! Shake it off, you pussy!”
If you disagree with the analogy feel free to explain why. It’s my understanding that from a legal perspective, most dangerous and/or illicit activities of a child are consistently held to be the legal responsibility of the adults in whose care they have been entrusted.
Like statutory rape. Yes, some do gladly sign up for it, others are pressured into it.
Children don’t exactly have the greatest reasoning skills or understand the consequences. Their brain hasn’t developed enough yet.
‘Turn your head and cough’ usually refers to a prostate check, while the doctor’s fingers are in the male patient’s rectum. If that happened to you during a routime high school physical, you might want to talk to someone about that.
A lot of families aren’t prepared for the funeral expenses of a child who was in good health. I’ve been assuming the GoFundMe was for that.
Because children are known for their terrific judgement?
You’ve never been around Pop Warner football. Maoist China had more free will.
Football is basically organized child abuse.
This is, tragically, the third such incident this month, after high schoolers also passed away after suffering on-field injuries in Oklahoma and Louisiana.
It has been a long time since I worked in an ER and had to deal with head trauma on a regular basis, but if I had to guess - subarachnoid bleed. That is a bleed in the head, not in the brain but above it, below the meninges. Early on, you are fine. Then you have a headache, then you are dead. Things can progress from…
Pissing off nurses is a rookie move.
I own 3 stethoscopes, and used all of them during the course of my bedside nursing career. I bought the first one when I was accepted into nursing school, since it was part of the “required uniform” for student nurses. If I showed up to clinicals without it, I would be sent home. When I graduated and accepted a…
I would like to start out by saying that I know and love many nurses (my mom was one for 30+ years), I admire and respect the job they do, and Joy Behar is an idiot. Nurses are awesome!
Old EMT here. If your doctor does not listen to your heart and lungs, get a new doctor as soon as you can!
