    Full Code required for surgery?

    MunoRN replied to KDPatty's topic in General Nursing

    Based on the full context of your post I don't think we disagree, just wanted to clarify since there are those who believe a suicide attempt by itself makes a person an involuntary hold or that they...

    MunoRN replied to spark1's topic in General Nursing

    I came across this Forbes article on the subject that includes a screenshot of one of our previous threads on the subject. I assume posting a screenshot of the screenshot back into an allnurses...

    Full Code required for surgery?

    MunoRN replied to KDPatty's topic in General Nursing

    There's an important clarification here, there is no legal basis for stopping someone from killing themselves, suicide has not been illegal for a couple of decades no, we stop people from committing...

    Full Code required for surgery?

    MunoRN replied to KDPatty's topic in General Nursing

    The ability of a suicide attempt patient to refuse further care is based on the underlying process that led to their decision, if it is due to a psychiatric condition that has significantly altered...

    Health Care is Not a Right

    MunoRN replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Lack of insurance is a known cause of death, the larger study on the subject shows a mortality risk increase of 25 percent, which is significant. However that doesn't reflect those who don't die...

    Health Care is Not a Right

    MunoRN replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It should be noted that Canada probably should pay more into their system to reduce waits, they could increase their funding by one third which would pretty much wipe out wait times, and still be...

    why can't nurses get safe staffing laws passed

    MunoRN replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Except PT, OT, and Speech don't bill for their services for inpatients, neither do hospitalists for that matter, those services are reimbursed by IPPS based on DRGs. It's unlikely we'd be better...

    Health Care is Not a Right

    MunoRN replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There are "rapid access" services in Canada, although they seem more common in Western Canada, you can pay an upcharge at these clinics to avoid waits. The practice of coming to the US for faster...

    Health Care is Not a Right

    MunoRN replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Two tier systems exist in a number of countries and are similar to how it already works in Canada. In Toronto for instance everyone receives basic medical care, if you want things like a private...

    Health Care is Not a Right

    MunoRN replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm not sure how that would benefit them. If someone receives $100k worth of treatment, but can pay for it themselves, giving them a $10k tax break for instance would still result in them paying far...

    Health Care is Not a Right

    MunoRN replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As to why the superrich should stay pay into the pooled fund for healthcare, nobody gets rich completely independent of the health of their society. Their income is dependent on healthy employees,...

    Insured services are also offered by private providers in Ontario, The Cleveland Clinic for instance has a clinic in Toronto, so I'm not what you're saying should be

    Health Care is Not a Right

    MunoRN replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That's how it theoretically works in the US, and it doesn't work. You can bill someone making $40k a year a $500,000 hospital bill all you want, you can't squeeze money from a stone. This is why...

    Health Care is Not a Right

    MunoRN replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't think there is anyone who "wishes to pay for the bills of others". What we've established as a society is that we aren't going to deny people healthcare services that prevent unnecessary...

    Health Care is Not a Right

    MunoRN replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Tetra, I think you're trying to define moral and immoral based on a taxonomic classification of types of rights, which really doesn't work. What is considered a right in not based in fact, it's not...

    Can my doc videotape staff and our patients?

    That's actually the Colorado law pertaining to mental health facilities, and it only applies to photographs, security cameras are still allowed in mental health facilities and in my experience are...

    Health Care is Not a Right

    MunoRN replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    (Bolding mine) I'm not sure how you see that as any different than how it works in Canada, basically 36 million people have gotten together and decided to pool their funds, there aren't people who...

    Health Care is Not a Right

    MunoRN replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The bigger question though is if you're theory is correct, is it really going to save you money to deny people healthcare. Withholding proper treatments because we don't want 'wealth redistribution'...

    Health Care is Not a Right

    MunoRN replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Tetra, your initial question was if healthcare is a right, and it's broadly considered a right as part of a society, this is evidenced by the fact that at least at some level, every single developed...

    Is leaving before hurricane abandonment?

    MunoRN replied to CNAbutLPN2be2017's topic in General Nursing

    Some states do actually have laws that require nurses to report to work in a declared disaster or prior to an predicted event or risk losing their license. It depends on your role, and there is...

    Colonoscopy Without Sedation

    MunoRN replied to bgxyrnf's topic in Gastroenterology

    I've come across a number of Physicians who would prefer to do excruciating procedures without any analgesia or anxiolysis at all, which is why the patient also has a nurse assigned to them, to make...

    Charge Capture at Discharge

    MunoRN replied to Kenmore1009's topic in General Nursing

    Some hospitals still choose to track supplies this way, although in my experience most don't since they've realized this actually does take some measureable amount of time. No payers reimburse based...
