Yes totally. Mat is very unattractive. And deplorable if the accusations are true. Has he been charged for them yet? If not, whats taking so long? !

Abandon any strategy that is bad or has proven ineffective or harmful. Doesn't matter what side of the isle. Get rid of it. Unless you are suggesting that that a strategy should only be considered by what political party established it. Not its contents. By virtue? I don't think so.

Sure! I do not know. That's the POTUS job!

Good job Biden!! Now get tough on China!

I find this happens allot! Dr. Worry about prescribing too many opiates and forget that most people take their medication as prescribed and for the intended purpose! This really makes me mad when I have a patient that genuinely has pain and needs these medications and doesn't get it. Or doesn't get enough or is considered "drug seeking". This is another thing. Any person who has an ailment is technically "drug seerking" someone has neuro pain seeks gabapentin, someone has diabetes 1 seeks insulin. A person who has severe pain, seeks an opiate = drug seeker. Yeah, they are seeking to relieve their pain, doesn't mean they are a drug addict. Tolerance, dependency and addiction are separate things. Or someone sent home with an opiate order, didn't ask, doesn't want it and gets a high dose 30 day supply. Someone who has serious pain, asks for an opiate is denied and treated like a drug addict. Reminds me of the "over prescribing antibiotics" and discouraging the use of antiseptics because this can lead to drug resistant antibiotics. What happened? Dr went loopy, decreased antibiotics and a spike of sepsis ER visits. People stopped using antiseptics and more infections. Where as yes there is a drug addiction crisis and yes the overuse of antibiotics and antiseptics can cause problems. Doesnt mean we go to the extreme and cause more problems. There have been cases where people who have been prescribed opiates for a time, took them as intended and didn't abuse them and then were almost cut off entirely. We have seen people resort to street opiates to relieve pain and yes withdrawal because they had no other choice only to end up dead from fentanyl. Off topic, I could go on and on and on!!

No of course I do not think mocking is appropriate. However it very abundant in politics and society in general. Yes I understand the difference between mocking and asking a question. My point was some disingenuous people may assign mocking because of a trait, or a question being asked because of a personal trait. Suggesting it's mocking but really is not. Skin color etc.

I guess it can be inferred that they are mocking her because of her skin color.if someone assumes they are because they think that's what conservatives do. However that is a belief but I do not see anything in that video that suggests they were mocking her because she was a woman of color. I would say if any mocking was going on, it's because of her not so subtle attenp to cater to some people by stating her pro nouns. Or her attempt to be inclusive. I guess it depends on the individual' precieved notion in how they interpret it. Yes. No Trump in that video. I'm not sure how he was thrown in. I originally thought he may have done something recently but my Google search doesn't show anything new about him mocking POC.

Oh. I thought a conservative actually mocked her for being a POC. If that was the case that's not appropriate. I do not think anyone would consider a skin color a handicap, Trump would? I must ask the question, if we mock someone or question them, what separates that from mocking or questioning them without it being because of skin color?

That's what I thought too! Thank you. I will get a clarification first just in case. My colleagues are split on what it means, most will not do more than one.

Conservatives mocked a woman of color? When? Is there a source for this? Mocked for her color or mocked her and she happens to be a woman of color?

They are locked up in a cupboard(medications). They or family are to speak with Dr about prescriptions etc. Yes I will. And risk getting talked. This person is in pain, I'm willing to do it.

I can contact Dr for the residents that are LTC but this resident class is considered independent only requiring some care.

The medications are "passed" not administered by CNA mostly. It's for residents who are independent but need help managing their medications. They usually have a history of taking too much or missing doses. They are also assisted with meals and some ADL but do not meet full care requirements. It's an in between stage. The idea is, the resident and families take care of Dr appointment etc and stay as independent as possible. Their health is stable(or is supposed to be) and ongoing assessments are not administered. Almost like home care. Trasation: it's a small part pre long term care that family doesn't want to pay extra for care not needed yet. It's the idea to keep seniors as independent as possible and those who can manage this should, to preserve resources. We do not have the resources to administer medications, do assessments and converse with Dr.'s like we would in LTC and especially because the majority of the residents are LTC.

I could look it up but what civil rights are they blocking?

What civil rights are they(Republicans) trying to create for themselves but not other? Is this in reference of Roe being overturned?
