Sorry, I mean the “collective we.” Of course individuals do build compassion, but look at the state of America and tell me that the collective we is different than I stated.

Totally wouldn’t work. We Americans believe in a brotherhood/sisterhood of suffering. If we suffered, we believe that others NEED to suffer as well. It’s why nurses are terrible to new nurses, why so many people are against forgiving student debt, and why so many parents refuse to acknowledge their children’s issues. It’s all “I lived through it and it sucked, so you need to too,” mentality. We didn’t build compassion though suffering, we just wish it on others, too.

Yeah, the need for nurses is growing daily, fewer people are choosing the career and more are leaving because nursing earlier because of the stress and abuse. But another major reason for long waits is that a lot of the people in the ER are there utilizing it as a primary care provider because they don’t have insurance to be able to get day to day care or they don’t go to an urgent care office. So many people are in the ER for antibiotics, cuts, scrapes, minor burns and breaks that really don’t need to be seen in the ER, adding to the long waits for people who do need to be there.

ChatGPT, write me a manifesto

Only one way to see if that’s the reason…

I used to joke with my surgeons that I’m running out of quarters to put in the anesthesia machine. Pretty soon it’s not going to be a joke.

“Motive remains unknown.” Lol

To be fair, DA:O still holds up pretty well and doesn’t really need a remaster.

Wrong kind of white obviously.

Wow. Stressed sideliner. Sounds about right.

Such sad

Never let a good tragedy go to waste

It probably wouldn’t make any difference in the appearance of the belly button, because eventually it work dry up and fall off, just like if you were to clamp and cut it. There are definite benefits to delaying the clamping of the cord. There is a lot of blood in the cord and placenta that is lost that could be auto transfused to the baby if the cord is left intact.

The main problem with leaving the cord and placenta intact is that there is a risk for infection or blood loss. Also it would look really gross in the baby pictures.

High Ground

We used to have a pretty good German street food restaurant in Fresno of all places. They had a pretty awesome döner. Unfortunately that only lasted like 2 years before closing.
