Well shit, I grew one town over from there. Pretty sure that’s right by our cliff diving spot on the Croton Falls Reservoir. I never went in it most kids in highschool knew some “facts” about that mine.

Oof this is definitely wrong. A blood thinner is one of the most important things whether a patient is taking or not. It’s the nurses job to let the doctor know whether the patient is compliant not only for medical reasons but for documentation. That’s outside the argument about profit in healthcare in US, that’s basic medicine. What if that patient falls and hits their head? Do we need to know if they’re on s blood thinner? What if they’re hemoglobin starts dropping? What if they need a procedure? What tif their platelets start dropping? Etc, etc, etc.
Don’t be a dick and not do your job, that makes your coworkers miserable and puts people in danger especially in medicine. I agree with burlit being and issue and chronic understaffing but be an adult and quit or move positions if you don’t like it.
It’s not that CPR doesn’t work, it’s that outcomes after resuscitation usually aren’t great. The study doesn’t disclose ages or neurological outcomes post-rescuscitation so that limits my interpretation but quick rescue and quick CPR is key in those acute, single reason emergencies. That isn’t to say in an emergency situation you shouldn’t try especially since you don’t know that person’s wishes. There are good outcomes but usually for underlying healthy people who had one thing go wrong. Think the athlete who’s heart stops on the field for some reason.
I’ve admitted at least a thousand people into a hospital through the ER and I tell everyone that it’s not like on TV. If you’re older, sick, multiple chronic diseases, don’t take care of yourself, etc. the chances of any kind of quality of life after CPR is limited. Death is terrifying and I understand them wanting to try but it’s just not realistic a lot of the time. We need better deaths in the US and more in-depth end-of-life conversations with our patients. That should be starting in the PCP’s office. Trying to discuss that with a patient in the ER who’s already scared isn’t ideal. I’ve seen patients with do not resuscitate/do not intubate orders on file change their mind when they’re suffocating and panicking then once they’re more stable immediately change their mind back.
Thanks, that looks legit, especially considering they got a Nobel for the process. Red blood cells wouldn’t work though, no genetic material to tell the cell what to do. Skin cells sure but deeper layers before they ditch their nucleus. The bottom layer of your epidermis is already made of stem cells that continuously produce new keratinocytes (skin cells). That’d make sense as a starting point for what they did. I’ve been in medicine for seven years and there have been all kinds of crazy claims made but researchers so I’m always skeptical.
Do you have a link for the paper that describes the process for converting blood into stem cells? Curious how they went about it because making red blood cells into stem cells would be hard since they have no nucleus and no DNA. I googled but couldn’t find anything about how they do it.
Couple of things it could be:
I agree with your doc (I’m a family med physician), don’t smoke if all of a sudden you’re passing out.
Fucking not 9lbs that’s for sure. Around 1/2lb usually.
But then you don’t get that cheese that dribbled out and sat on the pan and got crunchy and savory and delicious. Like caramelized cheese.
I can’t speak for every hospital since I’ve only worked at a few but this is rare. Some places might still be doing it, dumping people who can’t be placed or don’t have insurance, but EMTLA was put in place to combat that stuff and the lawsuit and probably fines would make this a bad move. We’ve kept people where I work for months because we can’t place them or psych won’t take them. At minimum they’re going to a nursing home.
Yeah, a good physical therapist will push you past your limits. From personal and professional experience, mental limitations will hold you back when you’re rehabbing. With my less uptight patients I’ll tell them physical therapists don’t give a shit about your pain and discomfort, they’re there to get you better. I love those fuckers, they do wonders.
