  • This is what I came to say but wasn't smart enough to put into words. There's a lot more factors than just being overweight of why a surgery can't be performed. For a while an issue at my hospital was we were one of the few in the area that could do MRIs on larger patients. So bigger hospitals would transfer these patients to us just for an MRI because their MRI machine was too small or couldn't handle the weight.

  • So if someones heart stops we don't actually shock them. That's a medical show myth. We shock them if they're in something called a lethal rhythm. Which is the heart beating but not actually pumping blood. Very similar to the heart stopping and will eventually lead to the heart giving out. CPR keeps the blood flowing which keeps oxygen moving throughout the body preventing permanent damage. We give medications to restart the heart. They don't really die until these interventions are stopped. Some people also have a pacemaker that detects their heart going into a lethal rhythm and will take over the electrical impulse until their heart goes back to normal. By the definition of the heart stopping this person would technically die and be brought back too. So I see what you're saying but I wanted to add some context that this is pretty complex. Even more so when you bring in people deciding when they don't want these interventions.

  • So we used a color system that's mostly standardized. Code blue is respiratory or cardiac arrest, code red is fire, code gray is security, etc. we're changing to plain language as that's been shown to be best practice. Everything is still a code though. We've had code trauma, code stemi, code stroke. We also have rapid response for anything that doesn't meet a code criteria but still needs assistance. My favorite was code brown for severe weather alert as that was our slang for cleaning a patient.

  • We use a lot to define being alive not just the heart. The heart stopping is just an easy way to pronounce someone dead. What you described is called a pause. Not really the same thing. Brain death is also a thing. Any organ transplant allows you to function when otherwise you wouldn't be able to.

  • The results from the poll — along with our analysis of early voting and other statistics — confirm our expectation that longstanding political trends in these states will hold,” said David Scott, a senior editor who helps oversee AP’s coverage of elections.

    Still, the AP won’t call the winner of a race before the last polls close in a jurisdiction, including in states where the polls don’t all close at once.

    Oh no is that the explanation AP gave for calling races early. They look at early vote counts and use polling data, and then based on historical trends call it if it's within a certain range. But what does AP know about calling elections. They only have a 99.9% track record.

  • Polls closed and based on early poll counting, early mail in votes that were COUNTED, and previous election history AP called the race for Harris. The chart saying 0 doesn't mean they didn't count votes. Don't share stupid pictures and maybe people will be nicer to you.

  • You shared a fake picture. I know you're smart enough to do a reverse image search to see that's a bad Facebook meme. Hawaii counted their votes before calling it for Harris. Predominantly Hawaii is vote by mail or early voting. A simple Google search would show this. But it's easier to lie when we don't understand something like that. Next time you want to prove a point don't post an iFunny link. Besides funny pics was always better

  • No it wouldnt. He was here legally and deported illegally without due process. Unless he broke the law and they prove it nothing changes the picture. He could pour his milk before his cereal and stilk deserve due process.

  • Everyone talks about tariffs. That's not the issue. The issue is a universal tariff based on chatgpt. He didn't even calculate the correct tariffs rates on the US. The other issue is most of the 1% have the means to buy boatloads of stock right now as it's crashing. Companies won't lose money. They'll pass this onto consumers and workers. Raise prices, no bonuses, cut staff. So the working class will be hit the hardest while the 1% profits. And these tariffs aren't expected to actually bring any manufacturing back to the US.

  • Tell that to the man in an El Salvador prison admitted to be an "admin error". He knew exactly what his terms were and didn't break any laws. He was sent illegally and he's not coming back. This isn't "it happens under all administrations". Wake up, people are being detained in broad daylight and then theyre cancelling their visas. Wake up before it starts happening to you too.

  • So writing an opinion article that her university shouldn't be funding Israel because she disagrees with how Israel is handling the conflict makes her a terrorist supporter? No evidence of ties to Hamas or supporting Hamas. Tell me how she supported terrorists and this isn't just an infringement on free speech.

  • We have a system of checks and balances. We have something called the judicial branch that determines the law. Not the president. The fact you're ok with trump defying the constitution in this manner further proves this is fascism not nationalism. You don't love our country, you just hate groups that are different. Citizenship can be revoked with probable cause now. All it takes is an ICE agent to show up and detain you. You think it won't happen to you but once you start disagreeing you're gone
