https://theintercept.com/2023/09/25/chaturbate-susanna-gibson-washington-post/ She posted the videos on Chaturbate - a publicly accessible porn site. What probably happened was she posted it and then took it down at some point assuming that once...

Oh man, I would have been horrified. It sounds like he was cool about it at least! We're all human. I feel like I've done a thousand things that make me wish I could disappear. Most recently I had a patient with a tanking blood pressure. After c...

Your specialty is "research" but you need help navigating Google and/or databases? 🤔 I have a feeling when you see ARR numbers you'll think you've been vindicated and not realize that at a population level those numbers quickly become huge. ...

Hospitals aren't a lawless land where patients can do what they want. It's funny to me that security is useless everywhere. I feel the best step would have been to get the police involved. I have nothing against weed at all but if they want to be an ...

Considering most of the covid vaccines weren't withdrawn for safety reasons but because there were better formulations available and that the information you're asking for is readily available online, I'm wondering what "gotcha" moment we have coming...

Reality should not be this difficult. This is so detached from objective truths that I can only assume you're trolling at this point.

Some actually have street value and are used recreationally. I imagine they're looking for the use of meds without a script or the program's knowledge.

It's always strange to me when anti-vaxxers are nurses. Why choose a field based on science if you don't believe in it? Or maybe they believe in science but don't take the time before forming their opinions to learn how to analyze evidence. It's fasc...

Oh boy. The covid vaccines code specific proteins that produce antibodies to covid. Giving your body a taste of a pathogen to produce antibodies to that pathogen is the basic principle of how vaccines work. That didn't change here. Zinc does not do t...

I'm trying to figure out what a peth test and blood donation have to do with one another. Are you trying to figure out if you can drink and get around the test by donating blood?

Corporate greed isn't unique to healthcare. No matter what field you go into there are going to be suits making others struggle for their benefit. There are certain hospitals/systems that are worse than others and you avoid them. You show up and...

It sounds like the issue was that the patient was discharged from the ER with a PIV, not how long it stayed in while at the SNF. OP, it sounds like you have your answer. The ER can't have a loose IV out there in there ether without some sort of...

How does this explain the rise in fentanyl deaths in Canada? How does this explain the rise in opioid deaths worldwide? I don't understand how people listen to these political talking points when they fall apart so easily.

I'm curious about this myself. I knew -20 was the default but never knew the rationale for changing it. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4356865 Thanks for the question because I learned something new.

To be fair, the first part of her post deals with the BON and conduct like fraud, practicing outside scope, abuse, neglect, etc. I suppose depending on the state these regulations can be twisted to justify anything on unprofessional or moral grounds,...

You're splitting hairs. Defining good or bad "judgment" can be just as problematic. What is considered "good" judgment to one person may not be considered the same to another. It doesn't really matter. The initial premise of this thread was that...

I was so ashamed and afraid of judgment in the beginning but the longer I've been in recovery the more I've come to realize it was all in my head. I've found almost everyone has been supportive. Of course, support groups vary. I have a good one with ...

You missed the point. We can agree that what she is doing is not illegal, correct? So what we're dealing with is essentially an issue of morality. The trouble with morals is that they're not the same for everyone. This is why I used the example of ho...

I can't say I understand how the public is being protected with this one. I'm a little extra so I looked at what "unprofessional conduct" and "moral turpitude" mean in Virginia and this doesn't seem to fit into the spirit of either one of those....

Does anyone think less of physicians because of Harold Shipman (Dr. Death)? Do the actions of Niels Hoegel - the guy who induced cardiac arrests to try and bring them back - reflect on all nurses? Having sex in front in front of a webcam to mak...

From my perspective, it sounds like a patient made an accusation of abuse that was unsubstantiated with the lights on. Regardless, as charge I would want to speak with you without the patient present to understand what was said. It could be their ton...

I wouldn't say the goal with either Levophed or dobutamine is to reduce afterload. Dobutamine is used as an inotrope as it increases contractility in a poorly functioning heart. The reduction in SVR is a side effect (sometimes good sometimes bad) but...

Just for clarification because I see this done all the time in the hospital. There is no role for sodium bicarb pushes here. It will not help and may potentially cause harm. It's outdated but just won't die (like most times we use bicarb pushes ...

I need to know what these nice hormones are and how to put them into dart form to use when needed. For educational purposes, of course.
