    Decapitated baby

    heron replied to SHH's topic in General Specialties

    How about both? The two are not mutually exclusive. I'm a lot more likely to believe that the doc and the hospital are making a desperate attempt to CYA. Corporate risk management is not famous for...

    The Trump Thread

    heron replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    If anyone claims they couldn't have guessed, they are lying. I remember writing about trump, complete with citations, and what a deadbeat he is during the '16 election. Of course, I was drowned out by...

    So you believe everything you read on the internet? The point some of us are trying to make is that all the facts of the case have yet to be established, including who said what to whom and when....

    heron replied to SHH's topic in General Specialties

    I gotta wonder why some posters are well-enough informed to judge and sentence those nurses, yet nary a mention of doctor, hospital or corporation? From here it looks like deliberate...

    The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

    heron replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Not so sudden. Many sources I've read trace current ills back as far as 1973 when for-profit health insurance became legal. I graduated and was licensed in 1972, so I've had a bedside view since the...

    heron replied to SHH's topic in General Specialties

    I read that story. My heart hurts for the parents. I can barely stand to think about losing my son - and he's a grown man with kids of his own. As a hospice nurse, I can understand the nurses'...

    President Biden thread

    Just saw a tiktok video in which a man explicitly threatened armed revolution if the electorate chooses Biden. "Give me what I want or I'll shoot you." I am so DONE with

    I, too, am old, fat and disabled, and my friends think I'm way too nice. Does that give me a pass to point a gun at LEOs executing a search warrant after I made multiple threats to assassinate the...

    More like chickens looking for somewhere to roost. It would be interesting to know how many of the dead and displaced are indigenous Islanders. Hawaiian real estate is pretty valuable

    Seems odd that there has been no talk of write-in candidates. Isn't that how Murkowski got elected back in the day? As a conservative, who would you
