  • I was actually thinking the exact opposite. Interesting to me though, is that we both see the subtleties which makes it look like AI. I can't point it out exactly (like too many fingers or something), but it's like the contours of their faces are off? Or something uncanny, at the least. I feel like photoshop could do it better (though not nearly as fast)

  • You're right though, I only read the summary and then commented from there. Having now read the full article, it seems that it's the "county" (that runs the hospital) listed in the lawsuit. Why not the hospital themselves? Or is that how the law works (as in, who is liable) when dealing with federal laws that were broken?

  • How does that not violate HIPPA? Do you have a source; out of curiosity?

    There's some situations where say, a person may be hospitalized after a car-accident and also has prior warrants out for them (the police were already involved with the wreck and now know the 'wanted' person has gone to a certain hospital). So the police will leave paperwork in the patient's chart, asking for a "courtesy call" when the patient is about to be discharged, so that they can than be arrested. But it's technically not "mandatory" (oh, I was busy and forgot to call the detective!), but the system definitely makes it feel mandatory

    But being tipped off about a patients' medical condition‽ So that they can be arrested afterward for said medical condition‽ I'm sorry, but how the actual fuck does that fly in any logical realm?

    If true: the hospital should be held accountable for violation of HIPPA, which is a federal law. Fuck their state laws, that's not how it works

  • ITT: even more division toward any semblance of unity. So instead... let's just slow-walk ourselves into the same bullshit (that we've been doing), because the circus and bread done got us too fucked up; seeing only 'left' or 'right'. Rather than how to help our brethren—we fight how to make our "best opinions" best

  • Nurse here: we ask 'orientation' questions as part of our assessment

    I had a younger patient going through the straights with hallucinations (newly diagnosed schizophrenia)... and I had been asking the same questions (as we do) a lot

    So I asked them once again, "Do you know why you're in the hospital?". Their response: "Deez nuts!"

    I always appreciate a good "Deez nuts" joke, but that one has been my favorite so far. The volition on their face and the shitty smirk; they're completely tied down with a guard because they would occasionally be violent... but hot damn, that was a zinger.

    I counted their response as oriented— they know what they did lol

  • a haughty, cackling asshole ignoring a woman's expertise

    Boy howdy, that's a spot-on description. Never listened to him because I expected it to be trash; but I didn't realize the situation was so dire

    Motherfucker leans into sensationalism and shock-value, because he'll be forgotten as soon as he shuts the fuck up—and of course he won't have any useful skills to hold a job with real value afterward. Fucking cowardly shits, afraid to work on something of substance when the fame/infamy runs dry

    So yeah, it indeed made my blood boil a little lol. Wish I could say it was mostly pity for him being so... dumb? But nah, that's a person acting like garbage and should be treated as such (until proven otherwise)

  • She leaned forward, turned off the monitor, then turned it back on. "I did this 10 times already, and its still not working".

    And this is why I couldn't work in IT support; I just don't have the patience for certain things. I always love teaching people new things, but most people don't care when it comes to computers; they just want it to work effortlessly even when they're the one screwing it up.

    And especially working on-site! Oh my life, I bet there's that same few people... just constantly failing to even try lmao

  • I hear ya, and appreciate the info because I didn't know that. I was saying that I would do both before calling, and then again when they asked me

    But this was back in like 2004-ish, so I'm not sure what was best practice back then. I would just try it all before calling lol... going so far as to shut down and unplug for a few seconds or more
