You have to wonder if we aren’t just confirming what the Great Filter is. There may not be any space faring civilizations.

The irony that phenylephrine intravenous is actually effective at maintaining blood pressure in people who are trying real hard to die on ya. (Our ICU uses it sometimes.)

Preach. I hate the shit, it makes me feel shaky, but god damn does it work.
I always struggled to imagine what dodos must have looked like irl until I saw these things. They almost look make-believe! Happy to see them reintroduced.
This was not a good year for me to pick up Kim Stanley Robinson’s “Ministry of the Future” book
I only have WhatsApp because I have so many non-American friends ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I dragged my mom and sister over to using it, and everyone has been warned that the second I see Meta trying to monetize it, I’m going to whine until they all move to Signal (which has pretty much identical functionality.)
If the carbon is in my body, it’s not in the atmosphere where it would contribute to climate change. Checkmate, atheists
All of that as revenge for Saddam Hussein humiliating an insecure cowboy’s daddy, let’s be honest here.
It’s the energy of the quantum fields that permeate space. They’re less “particles” per se, and more just the random jiggles in the quantum fields that aren’t coherent enough to be a full-on normal particle of that field, so the ripple starts and then dies out.
It doesn’t recognize kbin.social? Maybe I input the url incorrectly. Just curious
It’s absolutely hazing. So is a lot of nursing school, though much tamer. I point this out to my colleagues frequently.
I mean, yes. That’s why medical residencies need to be reformed. There’s zero reason they should be paid so little and made to work so many hours. None whatsoever.
And, in fact, I often make the argument that the current structure of medical residency actively harms patients because it filters out people with disabilities or even just normal smart people. Because the types of individuals who can tolerate and succeed in long, drawn-our, deeply abusive working environments are very, very, very different from the populations that they are then tasked with serving.
We wonder why physicians are so often out of touch with the struggles of their patients, and I think the structure of their training contributes a lot to that problem
Same here. I worked overtime 45 out of 52 weeks in 2020. Only to come out of the pandemic and still have hospitals trying to push too many patients on us, understaff us, supply chain shortages… And they wonder why so many healthcare professionals have burnt out and quit the field.
Find a country where medical residency doesn’t work like this. It’s an archaic holdover from the 1800s era when student doctors were trained by apprenticeship
This shit right here. We need to completely overhaul the medical residency system. Corporations are literally killing these workers for profit and the hazing culture of medicine continues to ignore that fact.
Seriously, the handful of times I’ve checked back in on Reddit recently just made me think, “Wow I hate it here.”
I’m so much happier on the Fediverse.
Living long enough to realize light speed travel is possible 👍
Living long enough to realize just how slow light speed really is 😭

We have to pay for the services we use somehow. I’d rather it be cash than the details of my entire life. But the money to operate those services has to come from somewhere
