  1. Who punches a cancer patient?

    It's been a long time since this happened and my dad passed. I've been thinking about things since the I can't breath movement. I was wrong to bring up race in my op. I was trying to be descriptive. That was all. But I see now, race details were irre...
  2. should the press be exempt from adhering to HIPAA laws?

    I like your example Horseshoe. I think this case is more sinister than the Aunt May example. The reporter bribed a hospital employee for protected health information. In essence he knowingly posted stolen information that he had no right to see or s...

  4. Got a job offer as a Safety Technician at a cannery

    The red flag is the seven days a week. Business will always put themselves first. The cannery may try to coerce you into working more hours than you are comfortable. This could negatively impact your education. I worked 24 hours a week when I was go...
  5. Come on OHN's!!!

    I just quit a pretty lucrative contract assignment. They offered me the permanent job, with a 25% pay cut (from contractor pay to salaried employee pay) and an increase in hours of 10 to 20 extra hours per week . Would you take a job that essentially...
  6. Best lotion for dry hands?

    In the winter, my hands get dry and chapped easily. I put a thick layer of A&D ointment on my hands at bedtime and then sleep with cotton gloves on, so I don't get it on the sheets. It works really well to soften feet too (just sleep with socks o...
  7. Who punches a cancer patient?

    Rua61 I'm so sorry. I'm not trying to be inflammatory. I was trying to describe a situation. Without the use of pictures, one uses descriptive words. If it was a short person versus a large person, I would have used those words. I was merely trying t...
  8. Who punches a cancer patient?

    No my family is not pressing charges. The family was stretched thin with the care giving. Insurance didn't cover 24 hour nurses aids. Only he and his wife live in MA. The rest of us live outof state. 3 weeks ago I went to visit. I walked with him for...
  9. Who punches a cancer patient?

    GrnTea, I thought about leaving the skin color out of it. But I felt it was germane. This person punched my dad soley based on what he saw. The really funny thing is that my dad was against racism his whole life... If I had said an Italian kid punche...
  10. Who punches a cancer patient?

    So you are saying that disabled people should not be allowed to walk outside alone? He is not totally blind, he can see out of one side. He brought this attack on himself because he was threatening? He's a 125lb Jewish man. If Woody Allen stopped on...
  11. Who punches a cancer patient?

    Lack of Public Awareness November 25, 2014 Last week my dad was punched in the face and given a bloody nose while going for a walk in Cambridge, Mass. He has a Grade IV Glioblastoma and is in the ICU now. We are hoping to take him home on hospice t...
  12. Nurses and FB "news"

    I saw that article and thought it was real. But when I tried to find corroboration from AP and Reuters, I couldn't find anything. That's when I suspected it was a hoax. If you aren't sure, you can also check Snopes.
  13. Knitting during class: ok or not?

    I like to bring crocheting to social events and doctor's offices. It makes me happy. The PTA moms at my daughter's school make fun of me and call me an 'old lady'. It shouldn't make a difference, but it does. I'm surprised sometimes by the attitude. ...
  14. @imintrouble I think Duncan was at fault for lying about Ebola exposure, but the CDC keeps insisting that if you are not showing symptoms, you are not contagious. As for Duncan, it's human nature to want to survive. Africa has a 90% mortality rate a...
  15. Based on statements from nurses it did not identify, the union described how Duncan was left in an open area of the emergency room for hours. It said staff treated Duncan for days without the correct protective gear, that hazardous waste was allowed ...
