I don't come on this forum often but it's good to see that you're still having pretend arguments with yourself.

Correct. That sums it up for any non-union job.

Or bleach. Whatever kills it in a minute. Also, can someone explain to me why pulmonary tanning hasn't been tried yet? Thank goodness Alex Azar put a labradoodle breeder with no public health or medical qualifications in charge of putting the corona...

And here I was thinking push pause.

No judgement here. I'd need anesthesiologist money to even consider working bedside in a hospital. It's just a job. Unless you feel like it's your calling or whatever but I don't get that impression from your post. Thankfully there are a lot of diffe...

Search this forum for "I hate nursing" or "burnout". There are a ton of threads about how much people hate their jobs because bedside nursing is drudgery for which you have an enormous amount of responsibility and very little to no authority. I hones...

I know. I've worked in pharmacy for many years and work w/ a new PharmD grad right now. He's staring down the same hole the majority of other new PharmD grads in a saturated market are. Still. Move. Get a job in Minnesota or whatever. I'm kidding abo...

Oh, I see. Yes, I agree with you. The politicians would be raising it as a general concern if they received enough emails not naming names.

Derrick Smith, CRNA, tells a story of the "terrifying reality" revealed in the tragic last words of a dying man he was about to place on a ventilator: "Who's going to pay for it?" the coronavirus patient asked Smith in between labored breaths. https:...

Number 2 is a winner. Everyone is going to click on that.

Probably not but if it's local politicians and enough nurses contacted them it, it might.

Yep. I'm in management, trust me when I say that management cares inasmuch as it doesn't affect their extra slice of the pie. Advocating for something that would cost their organization serious money could definitely alter the trajectory of their car...

Yes. Keep looking for a job as a pharmacist.

I completely agree w/ you and was also disheartened to see the original post you're talking about garner approximately zero response. It's all about marketing. Sad but true. Make the title of the post sexy like you did on this one. Drama is click ba...

I've seen mention of this possibility from cases in China as well. However, with a suspected false negative rate of as high as 30% on the PCR tests these could have been false negatives when the viral load was low. Either way it is interesting that t...

Multiple companies have quick and easy to use serology tests for COVID 19 antibodies but the FDA is currently only allowing clinical laboratories to get them from one company. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-u...

Yes! I'm in CT and every morning everyone is driving 75-80 with an occasional moron cruising by around 90. There are cops at almost every usual speed trap spot right now, I see 3-5 on a typical morning and have seen one of the 90 mph SUVs fly right b...

As someone in management (not hospital or direct patient care) the specter of bad publicity is huge leverage. Use it people! Email local news stations. Make a new email address, don't use your name, just tell them you're a nurse at XYZ hospital, expl...

Essential staff at pharmacies, grocery stores, Home Depot, mail carriers bla bla bla.. are all out there working every day potentially infecting other people because they have no idea that they're infected. It'd be very useful to know who to send hom...

Welp really hope a hyperbaric chamber isn't what they need because that would make the ventilator shortage look like absolutely nothing.

That's the first thing I thought too but I think it's worth noting that it looks like only one tiger was actually tested and the rest showing symptoms are presumed infected because they also came in contact w/ the infected worker.

Please explain what you mean by "mortality rate in resolved cases" and cite your sources. All credible sources that I've seen put the COVID-19 mortality rate in Germany around 0.5-0.9% with full acknowledgment that despite their far better testing ra...

Well, I'm 5'6 112lb F. But I kind of like the sound of being called big boy, I have to admit. ? Kidding, not kidding. Also, I scrolled further this time and found the facepalm emoji so I'm pleased about that too. Listen, DannyBoy. I'm gonna be a bi...

I was going to joke about slowly putting down the fish food. But then I read the article to the end and now just want to vomit.

Agreed. It doesn't look malicious to me. He was just being a thoughtless idiot giving the bar code a spit bath so the scanner could read it. Probably does it all the time to get the scanner to work. Normally just gross. Now possibly deadly.
