    Rant About Covid Antivaxxers

    Still waiting for some support for your assertion that the majority of unvaccinated folks are minorities. Also waiting to hear your take on anti-vaccine rhetoric and access to care vis-a-vis minority...

    Rant About Covid Antivaxxers

    So … you have the right to choose whether to vaccinate, yet we have NO right to decline to relieve you of the predictable consequences of your freely chosen behavior. Funny how that works, isn’t

    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    heron replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have personally witnessed the devastation wrought by a single worker choosing to decline testing after traveling, then choosing to return to work sick. Yep … I judge. Meanwhile, I reserve the...

    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    heron replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    JKL33: I think it’s a bit disingenuous to dismiss the folks in question as “anti-vax neighbors”. Parents, supervisors. employers come to mind as potential sources of actual harm. And don’t...

    Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    heron replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What, exactly, is your question? The covidiot crowd isn’t known for reasoned opinions or behavior. Further, Covid isn’t the only vaccination that some - specifically teenaged minors - have...

    Most institutions have standard admin times for different frequencies. 9-1-5 for tid, 9-9 for q12hr, etc. Never heard of docs needing to specify times unless they want something different from...

    President Biden thread

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

    OT alert: yes, traumatic ain’t the half of it. We were Covid-free until late last October. Then a particularly irresponsible staffer took a vacation out of state, neglected to test on her return and...

    Feels bad for not swabbing a vascular access port

    heron replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Small technical point: a clysis is not a vascular access. The word is short for hypodermoclysis and the access is to subcutaneous tissue, not a blood vessel. It’s an old-time method of giving fluids...

    What muno’s screenshot does show is what the cop saw when he got out of his car: a potentially lethal stabbing already in progress. Which Black teen was he supposed to favor? The person with the...
