Show me where pregnant women are being given anything remotely resembling a trial by jury and due process of law before being sentenced to death.

Nurse here, for the record aspiration is not a surgical complication, it can happen anytime someone eats or vomits. I would hazard a guess that the increased vomiting side effect of Ozempic is contributing to aspiration risk.

Lmao I'm a critical care nurse. Sorry, that's pertinent info I should have mentioned

"It has been shown to be active against a bacterium called Pseudomonas aeruginosa, suggesting that it may be possible to expand this work to other multi-antibiotic resistant bacteria such as Klebsiella and E coli"

That's what I wanted to see. I've never seen a CRAB infection. But I see Klebsiella and ESBL all the damn time.

Yes, Massachusetts. I have a dual fuel heat pump with natural gas backup installed in 2020, so it's a newer system. And I have one heat pump mini split in the least energy efficient, but most used room in my house (large, high ceilings, exterior walls on three sides, and a skylight).

The first couple of years I noticed when it got just below freezing, the central heat pump seemed to struggle to keep up. Then this year I replaced my windows and got new wall insulation in both of the main bedrooms and bathrooms (previous insulation was original from the 1960s and shredded to bits with huge gaps.)

After those improvements, I've been running my heat pump down to 20⁰F/-7⁰C so far without any issues at all. I'm excited to see how cold we can get and this system still keep up. I am still supplementing my one large room with the mini split, but that's mostly because all my plants are in here, so I keep this room warmer than 68⁰F/20⁰C.

As a nurse, "pension"

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, we don't get those, bud. From the corporations or the unions.

Crock Pot, skinless chicken thighs, bottled sauce of your choice, frozen veggies of your choice, cook until chicken is done.

Chicken thighs are the cheapest chicken meat and changing up the flavor of sauce and blend of veggies makes it feel like completely different meals.

Serve over rice or pasta, depending on which kind of sauce you used.

I was being hyperbolic; I thought that would be obvious.

not nearly as easily or quickly as they can move staffing agencies in the current climate

You and I must work in very different current climates.

You didn't personally experience that anecdote (and it's also just an anecdote). Show me a NURSING union that protects people who are dangers to that level. We don't because it's not our professional culture, so it's not how we run our unions. The president of the Massachusetts Nurses Association is still a practicing nurse. She has no personal or professional interest in protecting nurses who are genuinely dangerous.

I also have 20 years experience in management prior to becoming a nurse, including quality, safety and accident investigation experience. One accident doesn't prove that an employee is bad, no matter how much damage it cost. Systemic errors exist. Was that guy being impatient because management was on his ass to do more and more with less and less support? Holding him to an impossible schedule like they do the rail workers? How was he able to have his truck in a situation like that in the first place? Did he bypass safety signalling/communication, or did the signaling/communication policies not exist in the first place? If that driver was genuinely a dangerous employee and had no prior disciplinary action, then that's a management failure to document concerning actions in the past. None of that has anything to do with the union and the union was right to stick to the letter of the contract.

And policing needs to be reformed top to bottom. Union protection alone is not sufficient to create the culture of abusive power that exists in modern policing. That requires the full complicity of our legislative and judicial branches. (See: "tough on crime" politicians and SCOTUS shielding cops from accountability and responsibility.)

Pelvises that can accommodate both upright walking AND the size of human brains without, you know, killing the humans during birth.

I think that's going to be difficult to determine because we also are much better at diagnosing these things now. My grandfather had colon cancer requiring a full ileostomy at age 50, and it was only in retrospect after sooooo many younger members of our family were diagnosed with Crohn's that we realized his lifelong GI problems and young age colon cancer were probably a life of undiagnosed and untreated Crohn's.

And the further complicating factor of the increasing numbers of young people getting colon cancer these days for reasons we still haven't determined.
