man it must’ve sucked so much ass being a nurse during COVID

Hands down, no question. It was still the early days, april 2020, so I am a bit less forgiving than later in 2020. Nurses already got the short end of the medical stick even before covid

this instance was just particularly memorable.

A nurse once told me to "mind my own fucking business" when I said "are you fucking kidding me?" to seeing her pull off her mask to cough into her hand and go back to the shit she was working on during covid lock downs. In the ER nurses station, surrounded by nurses with asks completely down or with noses poking out.

10/10

You just gave proof that the people who are in the way don’t matter in the US either, as long as it’s about building inner city highways.

I don't know where I managed to say anything to the contrary... As you point out, I literally give proof that people in the way don't matter.

There was on one that I've been in, not sure about this one.

From my understanding, when an MRI is emergency stopped it doesn't stop immediately, and it causes a lot of damage, so staff are less likely to use it in an emergency. Stupid, yes. But when you're worried about getting fired for hitting a button, you're less likely to think of a situation as an emergency. You would think "chain strangling a man" constitutes an emergency though...

As for the staff not stopping the guy making a beeline for the door with more than just words, I'm not sure. I would prefer staff tackle me to the floor rather than let me blithely walk to my doom. Of course I'm only in my 30s...

The hospital is absolutely partly to blame, especially if they didn't properly convey the danger beforehand. All 3 hospitals I've recieved an MRI from have been pretty insistent about making sure I have no metal on or around me before I go in the doors though.

I'd say it's about 60/40 on the hospital.

It's impressive what you can accomplish when the people who oppose it/are in the way don't matter in the slightest to the people in charge.

I'd love to see this level of expansion anywhere in the US, done properly and without targeting minorities and the poor like we do too often...

If I could ride a metro line to work and to the store, I'd be soooooo happy. No more daily driver for me! Except my bikes, of course. I'd be saving all that money for more bicycles.

how did it not throw up red flags all around letting this guy wear it around that machine.

He wasn't allowed in the room.

His wife panicked in the MRI, he charged into the room he was told not to go Into.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't know of any 1st grade classes teaching financial literacy, nor high school classes focusing on how to play a recorder.

I did have a few weeks that focus on domestic finances in 8th grade. That almost nobody paid attention to. So there's at least one school that did both 20 years ago...

I got detention for a week because when one of my classmates did this to me I hit him with mine.

No ragerts.

No chief engineer has ever asked why my favorite transporter rooms require so much extra power.

Well... Not more than once, anyway...

Seed that bitch so hard you can start a garden.

Well, even Kim has a plate. All the bridge crew from VOY have one!

 

They aren't around anymore as of this morning, but they liked the hoodie and hat and I thought someone might like to see two doggos.

They were both good girls and I miss them.
