You know that seems very much a possibility. I used to work in toxicology in a hospital setting and did these sorts of work up. And I've seen some crazy shit with that. Here I was thinking they were being cheap and trying to reuse a certain type of connection device. But there's no way that such a single use device would last for the time period stated. On the other hand if an employee was the source of contamination that would make way more sense.

This is baffling to me because almost all medical equipment is either single use or goes in the autoclave. How did this even go on for as long as it did?

I wish more people were aware of this. One year I made a rather significant number entry error and should have owed a couple thousand more than I paid. I got a fairly routine letter later in the year asking me to correct the error. I had a little mental panic, reran the numbers, and filed an amended return. There was no pressure, you always have payment options, and they send you back another letter confirming the acceptance of the amended file. I understand that many people would have significant problems paying extra unexpectedly but unless you are actively committing fraud you are not an immediate priority for the IRS.

This is wonderful news!

I dare say that anyone working in healthcare knows a coworker who's committed suicide because of the job. I know I do and it still haunts me even though I managed to get out.

I've seen worse looking Bostons. This one looks pretty healthy and happy though if a little bit portly. That being said I do agree that breeding standards need to be corrected.

I just want to say that those are some bitchin book titles. Now I want to read them.

That's a relief because I thought I'd stumbled into LinkedIn Lunatics for a hot second.

That was everything I wanted!

This is a Pixar short in the making.

Am a bit broke at the moment so I recently started a new island on Animal Crossing New Horizons. That should keep me busy until the holiday sales arrive.

I used do do L/S ratio testing for fetal lung maturity on amniocentesis fluids back in the day. The collection method and the testing is archaic looking back on it now. It's because of volunteers like you guys that we have much better testing methods for these things now. What used to be a harrowing method of collection and an 8 hour test is now done with a cervical swab and a 15 minute test.

I left healthcare 2 years ago. Most people are leaving these positions because of lean business practices leading to severe burnout. We would have no problems filling open positions if there was proper staffing and proper compensation. And I don't believe that money is the sole issue. When you are trying to do the job of multiple people and find yourself not being effective in helping patients because of elements outside of your control, you end up realizing that what money your are getting is no longer worth the hit to your mental health. People that choose these positions genuinely want to help others but there is a breaking point and we are seeing it in real time right now.

This is really sad. I was rooting for this man. I am glad that he and his wife got a little more time together.

Fuck it I'll gladly take the rebate and still not vote for that useless piece of shit.

Memory, Sorrow, & Thorn series by Tad Williams is my all time favorite. I also noticed that I relate to different characters as I age which makes rereading it a fun experience.

Idk I see plenty of liquor-cycles in my neck of the woods.

I had a very stodgy surgeon and I actually got a laugh out of him. He checked in with me pre surgery and as he was leaving said he would see me in the OR and I was like I hope I don't see you (meaning I hoped the anesthesia worked). No one else got what I meant except for him and he had a genuine chuckle.

Yeah that where I gave up this time too.

This feels like and accidental Wes Anderson pic.
