The NFL has to cancel this game. Please. Every player on that field is now a cosurvivor of a horrifying medical trauma. They need to be with loved ones, not playing football.
The tech who did my breast ultrasound put gel on the wand and said "Here comes some warm jelly!" and started whoosh-whooshing it toward my boobs like an airplane. Then she stopped dead, mid-whoosh, blinked, and said "I'm sorry, I have twin toddlers, I am... fucking exhausted."
vanderbilt university medical center has TONS of nurse positions they canโt fill - even with 20k sign-on bonuses.

A hip ORIF costs a lot more.
so mad to me that no billionaire has ever been like.. iโm going to do it. iโm going to fundamentally change the world for the good of the people. just the biggest flex in human history. but no theyโre like okay go to space, paper over the cracks, & chill out until the oceans boil
When pre-pandemic Americans had a cold, most carried on with their lives as usual. So long as they felt good enough, theyโd go maskless to their jobs, gym, theater, bar, restaurant, etc without hesitation, making hundreds of others sick along the way. Why was that ever โnormalโ?
Do you know how powerless you feel when a patient is a fall risk & you canโt get 1:1 sitter coverage & they just keep trying to get out of bed because they canโt help it? Even in acute care with 4-5 patients having a high fall risk patient without safe monitoring is common.
Long covid has ruined my life. I was 21 when i got ill,now i'm 23. I was a sport science major and i loved powerlifting and bodybuilding(still do). I had a mild initial case. Then i kept getting worse. I am afraid i will never live again and i'm losing my youth day by day./
Dear @SouthwestAir: you canceled our flight, my wife spent four hours on hold with you yesterday only to have that NEW flight canceled. I am now having to drive a rental car 13 hours so that @pharper1980 can care for his patients tomorrow. I expect to hear from you.
