Trump's DERP State

Published

Confirmation Hearings for the Trump's incredibly bad choices for cabinet leadership positions.  Traitors, drunks, rapists, pet killers and television personalities were the first choice of the mentally ill old man.  

My Senator, Dan Sullivan is all over his social media singing the praises of these folk so we should expect most of them to be confirmed.   

Hegseths hearing should be starting about now.

The country is safer with these dangerous criminals off the streets, right?

In an email sent to employees at NNSA and obtained by NBC News, officials wrote, "The termination letters for some NNSA probationary employees are being rescinded, but we do not have a good way to get in touch with those personnel.”

The individuals the letter refers to had been fired on Thursday and lost access to their federal government email accounts. NNSA, which is within the Department of Energy and oversees the nation's nuclear stockpile, cannot reach these employees directly and is now asking recipients of the email, "Please work with your supervisors to send this information (once you get it) to people's personal contact emails.”

This is embarrassingly incompetent.  LOL

No, that is not more clear. You do not seem to comprehend my point. I said nothing about a young black male. 

I think in the past, you identified as female. I find it difficult to believe that you have never been treated in a negative manner because of that. 

I find it difficult to believe you missed the point that you feel comfortable to allocate race and gender in a derogatory statement when related to a "white cis man" and how it sounds if the race is reversed. 

I was treated negatively actually.  When I gave birth to one of my babies I wasn't even considered a female. I was referred to as "the birthing person" and my female breast were also disregarded as "chest feeding". Does that count? 

And another time I was told by a older man when I bought bunk beds that I would "need a man to help assemble it".  That one caused allot of trauma for me.

Yet, again, I have no idea what you are saying here. Do you think labeling someone as cis, white, or male is derogatory? This describes my hubby, and I am quite fond of him. 

I did not say HCW asking about   was discriminatory. I said not asking and assuming a patient is non-compliant is discriminatory. I had a TB client who was not taking her insulin. Her provider labeled her noncompliant, when actually the diabetic educator did not provide her with needles for her pen, so she couldn't use it. The patient risked losing her job if she took a day off to get to the provider to get needles. 

 

Everyone is a victim, arent they?

Actually, her provider may have asked and still was correct in labeling her as noncompliant.  She for whatever reason didn't see the need to make sure she got the needles. 

Even if she didn't ask, how is it discriminatory?  It's really a question of personal responsibility.   Assuming one can't be responsible for themselves is a better example of discriminatory behavior.

What is the point of this?  Does it mean that you felt mistreated and disrespected at some point so that justifies disrespecting others?  I wonder if you can clarify.

Assuming negative things about patients or other people, in general, is unacceptable from any health professional.  Assuming that the TB patient understands the mechanics of the insulin delivery system and just can't be responsible for themselves could be a example of discriminatory behavior.  Right?

Nope.  In this case the patient was not given needles and failed to get them.  Didn't call their diabetes educator, didn't go buy a $10 box for them, didn't get some sent in the mail, etc.  

Nursej22 didn't say that the patient didn't understand.

No. The member refused to believe that I have not been treated differently because I am a female. She was right so I shared.

Sure. You are welcome to imagine all manner of reasons that the patient is simply irresponsible and noncompliant.  It happens all of the time.  It's so very difficult to imagine being so poor and sick that getting yourself to a pharmacy might be a challenge and $10 might be a choice between needles and noodles for dinner all week.

And you can arbitrarily suggest that it's based on gender and race. It happens all the time. Especially when people are emboldened by DEI. Which  has been mismanaged and abused from what it initially was for.... Hence Trump ending it.

Her point was to associate this situation with proof of racial and/or gender bias care rampant in healthcare and will be even worse without DEI. Eventhough we already had 4 yrs of DEI.

Patient was working a job.  Must not be so sick that can't get to a pharmacy.  Needles needs to be a high priority.  And if has a RX they're free.

But no.  They're a victim because no one else took care of the problem and the provider called them non-compliant.   Boo hoo.
