This is literally an article about police arresting the person who committed this crime. Who's not doing shit and what advocacy is OP providing beyond self-flagellation because terrible criminals exist?
The state of Uttar Pradesh has 240 MILLION people. That's one state that's 2/3 the size of the entire United States.
Posting articles like this and proclaiming conclusions about it is like posting that someone somewhere in the US did this and therefore the entire United States is complicit.
Are you in the habit of seeking out and sharing nothing but news stories about the rapists and criminals in your community? Yes, that behavior is a little pathological.
I'm born and raised in Appalachia, my daddy worked in the coal mines and drove an 18 wheeler. Certified redneck enough that I confuse the shit out of my New England neighbors.
I went out and marched with striking nurses when Bernie put out the call, and I've never voted Republican in my entire fucking life.
Your hypothetical does not accurately reflect anything about how the healthcare system works.
No transplant surgeon is getting a surprise shift. This is exactly why on-call shifts exist. There is already someone available who knows they need to be ready to go at a moment's notice.
And nurses don't function the same as doctors. We are regular wage employees, just like anyone working retail. We absolutely do not have to be available whenever and wherever. They can (and do, constantly) ask us to pick up shifts. But we're not obligated to come in on our scheduled days off.
Healthcare corporations need to get their fucking staffing models together.
"I'll fight through the gates of hell and back for my nurses"*
*Except to advocate that our cheap ass private equity owned facility hire actual full time staff with benefits instead of outsourcing to a temp agency.
Those agency nurses aren't your enemy. They aren't the reason you end up taking an assignment. That's the fault of the corporation that owns you. And in all sincerity, good for those agency nurses demanding the working conditions that they want and refusing to accept whatever the facility wants to push on them.
Sincerely, a hospital nurse having our union election on Jan 10
(And I have stories too, you know. Like my supervisor who tonight simply lied to the overnight sup about our staffing situation and tried to leave two nurses alone to care for NINE patients on our critical care stepdown unit overnight.)
The nursing shortage is at least partially artificial. There is a shortage of nurses who are willing to work in abusive conditions that exploit our legal, moral, and professional obligations to our patients to make their profit. Fight these corporations for safe working conditions and watch how many nurses return to the bedside.
It's meant to acknowledge intersectionality. The ways that minority identities can overlap, creating more complex lived experiences for some individuals.
Iirc, it was like $0.10/message? So yeah, the brats were costing me money lol. And I was definitely on a T9 flip phone, none of this internet nonsense.
Yeah but I didn't get my first cell phone until 2003 cause all these young kids I hung out with at work wouldn't stop bothering me about it lol. "We want to text you!" Brats.
There are many many other classes of medications for depression. SNRIs, tricyclics, mood stabilizers, bupropion is a completely different mechanism of action, even drugs that were originally developed to be antipsychotics are used off label.
I agree with others who have suggested that you should see an actual psychiatrist. Other prescribers just don't have the same training and experience as a psychiatrist with a medical doctor license. There are lots of medications available.
California already had health insurance for undocumented immigrants, as does Massachusetts. It's just limited to emergency care and pregnancy care.
California is expanding their existing coverage to comprehensive health care including primary care, which is cheaper than letting medical conditions get so completely out of control that they require expensive and disabling emergency hospitalizations.
