'Human disaster' unfolding in LA will get worse, experts say | CNN
Imagine having cardiac arrest and getting picked up by an ambulance that won't take you to a hospital. Or having a medical emergency and languishing outside an emergency room for hours.www.cnn.com
Saw that movie in the hospital, loaded up on goofballs. 10/10, but I'm scared to watch it again.
It’s probably my favorite movie ever. I’ll watch it any day. That scene is epic.
So is this.
Some of these will be missed.

The wife, who is the purchasing officer for our local hospital says as of this morning we are out of room and have now started stacking patients in the hallways....
FUCK

Hard to believe, but true. The supporting cast is really good and makes the whole thing work, making it more of an ensemble. Also Scorsese. The soundtrack is pretty solid.
I love that movie. It got me through my darkest moments of EMS PTSD. And yes every crew I know wants to stick that 12 lead dot on someone's forehead...
Oh?..... So like fuck all/$5 a month?
*yawn*.... So tired & sleepy, all this winning at keeping freedom at bay is hard work man.

Wealthy donors received vaccines through Florida nursing home
By Isaac Stanley-Becker and Shawn Boburg
https://www.washingtonpost.com/healt...covid-vaccine/
"The invitation to well-heeled Floridians arrived in writing and by telephone.
“He asked me if I wanted to have a vaccine,” said Ryna Greenbaum, 89, recounting the phone message she got last week. “I’m one of the people who has given him some money,” she said.
The call, she said, had come from Keith Myers, chief executive of MorseLife Health System, a high-end nursing home and assisted-living facility in West Palm Beach, Fla., to members of the board and major donors.
MorseLife has made difficult-to-get coronavirus vaccines — provided through a federal program intended for residents and staff of long-term-care facilities — available not just to its residents but to those who made generous donations to the facility, including members of the Palm Beach Country Club, according to multiple people who were offered access, some of whom accepted it. The precise number of invitations, and how many may have gone to non-donors, could not be learned.
But the arrangement, in appearing to rely on a program run by chain pharmacies for long-term-care facilities, may have violated national immunization guidelines, as well as state protocols, even though state officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity to address sensitive matters, acknowledged that the rules have not been spelled out clearly enough by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).
The episode highlights how the country’s patchwork approach to immunization against the coronavirus — leaving decisions about eligibility to state and local authorities as well as to individual providers — is creating opportunities for facilities to provide access to well-connected people while thousands of others wait in line. In Florida, some elderly residents have camped out overnight in hopes of receiving a shot."

Meeting with a teacher today. Her district doesn't go back to in person until 1/15; Haley's was today.
Her response: "Are you fucking kidding me? We're not even a week past New Years! Bunch of fucking idiots run the school board down there."
I don't disagree.

How the F does an In n Out even have 62 employees?
Good to hear. My wife had a positive patient with no mask cough in her face Monday. Waiting to see how the combo of double mask and one dose of vaccine works with that.
Did they get a falcon punch to the cooter/nuts for said action?
I’ve heard a story or two of people living in the same house. One with covid and the other never caught it.
I don't know all the specifics, but he was old and in really rough shape. Very apologetic. She said she wasn't mad, just felt really bad for him. Between the combination of being in a Right leaning area and a hospital with limited PPE it unfortunately is just the reality of daily work for her. She wears as much PPE as she can and takes as many precautions as she can.
What's sad is you have nurses stuck with limited n95 masks, being forced to reuse medical grade masks, but can't use even construction n95 masks which are all over. I know there are fit variances, but damn people!
We've stockpiled quite a few masks from various sources just so she will have something. She wears some type of N95 under a standard surgical mask. She does UltraSound, so higher risk group because depending on the exam she is literally right over them for a half an hour to an hour depending on the exam. One of the main things they look for in the positive patients is blood clots, which they see via Ultrasound, so she gets lots of exposure now.
wife's aunt/uncle appear to be in that situation-he's even supposedly had it twice and she doesn't appear to have ever had it. they live in atlanta; i think the first time was very early on; the second time he thinks it was one his grandkids, whose family has been doing the whole "just gonna live my life" thing throughout because they're selfish assholes.
Done got me vaccinated, well least step one.....

About $7 per 1000 UI here.
Note to self. Become the Pablo Escobar of street insulin in the States. That has to be more profitable than crack wholesale.
