    How do you feel that apoc lied to you?

    I had started to figure it out before it became knowledge. I’d have a story apoc would have the same etc.

     

    Also half a decade ago now, I’ve had a lot more important things happen in my life in that time.
     

    aka, legit do not care.

  2. Bad thing about getting old.

     

    i can’t tell if these symptoms are age related to me not being able to handle depletion training and competition like volume as I used to or actual neuro/cardiovascular symptoms I should get evaled for.

     

    😂

  3. The next 20 years in this country is gonna be something to behold.

     

    the most dangerous cohort in any society are young unattached men and America is just churning them out now like it’s a five for five sale at Luckys. Deaths of despair is just one way this manifests. While it’s not just men dying of this obviously, anecdotally they are who I treat primarily in my ED.

  4. Despite all the failures of my nation, of which there are many, to the point where a marine is openly anti American, I still recognize we’re better than Europe on this topic. By far. The shit we’ve endured in Europe is far worse than what we’ve dealt with in the US.

     

    So I bring her up because she’s the only way a cis straight white man could ever understand the struggle. It’s become visceral for me with her.

    This really isn't even a remote possibility at all.

     

    In fact, the vastly more significant probability is that the the American public will become even more "fatigued" by the conflict and put pressure on the US government to force Ukraine to come to terms with Moscow.

    This. So much this.

     

    All Americans care about now is inflation and gas prices, nobody is following the invasion anymore in my circles. A very left circle as well.

    Do you know how many assholes like this I had to deal with when I taught beginner Muay Thai classes? Your post triggered the fuck out of me just now :dab2:

     

    This is the same exact bro with a Tap Out shirt, Everlast shorts and holding a Mountain Dew in one hand and a Newport in the other. 

     

    I don’t know man. When I see a guy in the gym with a Tap Out shirt, I know he’s serious.

    I’ve heard my mom talk about this but I still don’t quite understand it. Care to explain to a dummy like me :nervous:

    There’s a few things but the big thing we’re seeing is ever since the pandemic there’s this drive to maximize profits. So we’re overbooking elective surgeries and accepting transfers when we’re already over capacity.

     

    The ER is routinely boarding 30-50 admits for 24+hours with dozens in the waiting room waiting 12+ hours to be seen. They’re basically maximizing every bed space to increase value to the point that there’s a rush to admit our boarders before midnight. The reason, if they’re up inpatient before midnight the hospital can bill an impatient day charge for that day.

     

    it’s turning highly trained and experienced ERs into acute care floors, sorry @CastlevaniaNut18 but we are not a floor and shouldn’t be worked as such.

     

    Its causing so many sentinel events. The most egregious example of this. Gyn performed a uterine biopsy in an ER room without an RN present because no shit, none of us are scrub nurses, they injected formaldehyde instead of lidocaine into her uterus. The woman is crippled now. That never should’ve happened.
