Suffering from end-stage kidney disease, Richard underwent the groundbreaking procedure in March, only to depart from this world merely two months post-surgery.

The news of his demise was confirmed by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), the medical facility behind the historic transplant, on Saturday.

Either an AI wrote this or somebody needs to take the author’s fucking thesaurus. He has ceased to be. He’s shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain, and joined the choir invisible. He is an Ex-pig kidney transplant recipient.

Windows?

Some of the best cyberpunk characters are women and the clothing is cooler.

For the former point: molly millions/Sally shears and YT were both by far the most interesting characters in the sprawl series and snow crash respectively.

Funny thing about cyberpunk as a genre is the women are often the badasses with complex characters and the male leads are usually bumbling selfish dummies that generally fail to resolve anything (Hiro protagonist in snow crash, Johnny mnemonic, case in neuromancer, and to a lesser degree bato in GIS who’s just clueless half the time instead of bumbling).

For the latter: mox gear is better than worn browns and grays.

I also just think the voice actor is better and Judy is the most interesting love interest.

In his case he self identifies so much with the plot of the show that he’s convinced it’s actually nefarious brainwashing.

That’s sad. He’s not wrong about many things but his brain’s pattern association has gone off kilter.

Do not go to your unit manager with this shit. Take report, give care, give report, leave. Otherwise acknowledge and move on. Every nurse thinks they’re the best nurse. It’s just how it is.

If you don’t want to talk to someone, just tell them you forgot to chart something and then ignore them. They’ll get the hint.

This is a profession that, for better or worse, attracts type A personalities.

Edit: and most charge nurses would not intervene in this either.

The 17th percentile in peds is not surprising. The model mixing it’s training data with adults would absolutely kill someone.

GPT will require every test and yet for the sake of authenticity randomly perform medical errors.

Why put this much effort in trying to getting banned? Is making up a story based on the headline a creative writing exercise for you?

So maybe there will be justice?

I wouldn’t count on that. They’re going to justify it as confusion during a shootout.

2 years to finally own up to obvious incompetence.

The mixed messaging on COVID and fomite spread was pretty funny. It was conclusive that it wasn’t really spread by fomites pretty quickly. That’s why they had us COVID nurses reusing our N-95s until the straps broke, and I never did get COVID while doing it.

That law provides several different levels of trafficking, and Hotchkiss was convicted under the lowest level – having between 2.2 lbs and 100lbs. That weight includes all parts of the plant, root and stem and all.

40 years, jesus fucking CHRIST.

For a 40 year old, I have a come to jesus moment. I say you need this for your a. fib, or whatever, or you’re gonna throw a clot and have a stroke. If you don’t want to take it, that’s fine, but that’s a choice you’re gonna be making. I tell them that we administer medications at set times to maintain effective prophylaxis. I’ll jot a quick note, and if I have the time call the whoever ordered it and inform them of the refusal. If they want to place an ORDER for me to leave medication by the bedside, I will. But that’s what it would take for me not write a refusal to take medication on the time it’s ordered as anything but a refusal.

Even porn is reverting to crab. Carcinization to the extreme.

We’re on the same page. That’s what I meant about a patient refusing to take it “right now.” That’s a refusal and you just document it in the notes and try again after you round on everybody else.

That said, the floor and the ED act a bit different when we’re talking about scheduled medications. Things can be a bit more flexible on the floor.

Oh, it happens plenty. Let’s just say the nursing home nurses have it down to a science to speed folks up with all the patients they’re administering medication to. Usually part of our report to other nurses on shift change, and what strategies we’re using. Some folks want to talk, some folks are trying to exercise the very little control they have in a situation where their life has completely spiraled out.

You can put it in nurses notes, or depending on the EHR put an administration “note” in the MAR. But you have to actually put it there and then your manager will yell at you. Point is, you need to be sure they actually took a medication you documented you administered at the time you said you administered it.

This stuff isn’t “my bosses” though but “standard nursing care.”

On the point of patient’s refusing meds, they’re allowed to refuse. Nobody’s gonna fire you for patients refusing their meds. You just document it as “refused.” Now if the patient later says to the doctor that they didn’t actually refuse and you just didn’t feel like pushing the issue, that’s another thing. Put a nurses note as to why they refused in their own words if you want to CYA on that. Doctor has to talk to them a discontinue the medication anyway if they’re refusing, so you need a note.

On a particularly difficult patient, like what you’re describing, you put in the nurses notes each time you attempted to administer medication and they refused. Those type of red flag notes are always fun to see before you come on shift.

The article is really funny, because they talk about how this company’s innovation could be used in pacemakers. When they had betavoltaic pacemakers in the 1970s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betavoltaic_device
