    The Incontinence Epidemic

    Julius Seizure replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Asking because I don't know for sure: Is having to sit on the toilet for 20-30 minutes an effective way to be "potty trained"? Also, what are they missing to come do that? Class time? Lunch time?...

    Should I report the person who scheduled me to a patient I should not have been sitting?

    Julius Seizure replied to Rayrayma's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    When patients self-harm, who tends to it?

    Julius Seizure replied to LilaDavis's topic in Psychiatric
