Researchers in Germany and Slovenia have found a new, more adaptable way of generating entangled photons for quantum physics applications. The technique, which relies on liquid crystals rather than solid ones, is much more tunable and reconfigurable than today’s methods, and could prove useful in applications such as quantum sensing.

The usual way of generating entangled photon pairs is in a crystal such as lithium niobate that exhibits a nonlinear polarization response to an applied electric field. When a laser beam enters such a crystal, most of the photons pass straight through. A small fraction, however, are converted into pairs of entangled photons via a process known as spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC). Because energy is conserved, the combined energy and momenta of the entangled photons must equal those of the original photons.

The sheer number of people I have had to tell they have cancer in the last like 3 weeks. I hate it. I've done it probably a couple dozen times in my career now and it hasn't gotten easier, and listening to people cry, trying to describe the kind of cancer and their prognosis despite not being Onc--look, don't go into rural medicine if you can't stomach turning someone's day into the worst day of their life, because it's going to happen. I've diagnosed cancer. I've diagnosed miscarriages. I've told people I don't think they'll ever be able to leave the hospital. I've yelled--I don't like yelling!--to get more pain medication for my terminal patients.

My poor patient with a very obvious and profound learning disability who's managed to cling to functionality in his life, now learning that despite having gotten complete treatment for his HepC he still has developed hepatocellular carcinoma with what look like mets on the imaging. Me reaching out to one of the three local oncologists, one I went to school with as kids, to find out if I need to try to expedite a liver biopsy. The young mother with breast cancer who found out because Epic releases results directly to patients now, so I didn't find out until hours after she'd found out and called us screaming. The woman who asked me right after her biopsy how many endometrial biopsies I've done that turned out to be cancer and I had to say, all of them.

Cancer sucks.

It is very Wednesday morning and Casey is one again office alone but instead of working she is reading. The medical journal she is reading is starting to not makes sense and she looks at the clock- 6:00am and two hours sleep no wonder. Casey, along with her friends could not help but feel responsible for the merger falling through. It had been a week since the news and feelings eoUlf not go away, as well as everything with Esme. Despite the physical exhaustion, she had been unable to sleep much, even the thought of Ethan and the use of her toys or hands was not taking the edge off. Casey hops up from the couch and goes to the coffee machine to make a coffee. As she is filling up the water tank the door opens, it is Ethan.

“Stupid question Dr Ramsey but would you like coffee?”

Ethan looks towards Casey in shock,

“What are you doing in so early? And yes I will have a coffee.”

Ethan walks towards the couch and sees journals everywhere. “What is up Casey?” With a very concerned expression.

Casey is making their coffee and is not sure how to answer Ethan. She came in because she could not sleep and she could not sleep with all that was happening. She knows he is her boss and mentor first but but her feelings were still strong and she knew that confiding in him would very easily end up with her in his bed and as much as she wanted that to happen, it would not be wise to do so.

“I couldn’t sleep” she finally replies. Casey makes her way to the couch with both coffees. Ethan takes his cup and sits down beside Casey.

Ethan asks her again what is up. “Nothing” replies Casey.

Casey changes the subject. “How is Louise going?”

Ethan sighs. “Louise is getting discharged today and she will be going to rehab.”

“That is good isn’t it?”

“I honestly do not know. Her body has taken a serious toll from the addiction, she may be beyond help but how could I in good conscience not send her?”

Casey grabs his hand and squeezes it. “If you need to talk you know I am here for you despite our circumstances.”

Ethan squeezes Casey’s hand in return and massages the side of her hand with his thumb.

“Thank you Casey.”

They sit there in comfortable silence. Casey has missed this among other things and Ethan has done so too, they fight the urge to kiss but Ethan is relieved that he has someone else to talk too.

They finish their coffee. Casey gets up. “I best go and get organised for my shift. See you later.”

Ethan cleans up the medical journals and puts them away. How to approach Casey with his feelings for her and how he wishes to tray again run through his mind but work was not the place.

Later on that day Casey is paged. The Diagnostics team have a new case. Marisa, the young patient has Cirrhosis, advanced hepC and has Sepsis due to an unknown infection. The team has to figure it out and the clock is ticking as the liver she was donated. After our consult with Marisa we have a chat. We run a myriad of tests and head back to the office to try and formulate a plan of attack as time is of the essence. Whilst we are in the office, Garry, one of the interns is trying to find the door handle to the diagnostics room. Myself and Ethan try to direct him too it but to no avail. He ends up shouting his message. “She won’t go without seeing you.” Garry then leaves.

Ethan takes off his glasses and pinches the bridge of his nose. Ethan admits that he had promised to take Louise to rehab. Casey and Ethan then go to see Louise to take her to rehab. On the drive to Willow Hill Recovery Centre. The tension is palpable as Ethan does not answer Louise’s questions. Casey can sense the nerves on both sides. Louise starts to apologise and then they arrive. Louise is then taken to her room whilst Ethan berates the receptionist and sorts out paperwork. When Ethan is finished Casey has a chat.

“She really wants to speak to you Ethan.”

“I know that, but what happens if I let her in. I have told you how much of a whirlwind I remember her being, not to mention her being an addict. You know I need to remain rational.”

“Even with me Ethan?”

“We all know that I don’t always act rationally around you.”

Casey smiles.

“You don’t have to let her in but can you at least hear out. It did seem like she wanted to at least apologise. Whatever you decide to do in relation to any relationship is upto you but you need closure on what happened that dayI know you have a lot of deep seated anger and it is time to let it go.”

They make their way to Louise’s room. Before he knocks he asks me to come in with him. I agree. We enter the room and see Louise unpacking. She looks up. “I thought you had left already.”

Ethan sits on the bed. Louise looks nervous.

“You would think this would be easier to say with 10 years of practice.”

I grab Ethan’s hand and hold it. He does not respond but does not pull away either. Louise continues. She tells Ethan why she left, how she later regretted it and apologised for the pain she caused. She knew it was not going to erase the pain but she wanted to at least apologise for walking out but now wants to to be better, for you. You could have sent me off after three days but you did not.”

Ethan was overcome with emotion.

“I was a changed person after that day. I had a lot of anger in me from that. I did not let many people in because of what you did. You are right, an apology is not going to erase 25 years of anger but it is a start.”

Louise looks relieved. We have to head back to Edenbrook. Ethan and Casey head to the car.

“How are you really Ethan.”

“Remember at the Stevenson’s how I said I had a certain restlessness that I could not pin down.

I nod in reply.

“Well it is very disquieting to share personality traits with an addict but at the same time there is an element of relief. I still do not know what to do next but that is a question for another day.”

“I am hear for you Ethan.” I then grab his hand again.

“Thank you for coming with me.”

He looks at me. All notion of of self control goes. I lean across and kiss him gently. He returns the kiss and we pull apart.

“Remind me thank you more often.”

I smile as we return to Edenbrook. We drive back in silence. A million thoughts are running through my brain. All pertaining to why the hell did I kiss Ethan and what does it all mean. It is not like it was a quick peck on the cheek, it was a full kiss. Will we get back together, will he just think I was caught in the moment even though I was not. At least I can take comfort in the fact that he was not angry.

Meanwhile Ethan’s brain is running a million miles an hour too. He wanted nothing more in the last few weeks than to kiss Casey again. It took all his self control not to take the kiss further. He was not expecting it but was glad it happened but what to do next was the thoughts that were plaguing him now. They return to Edenbrook and make their way to the Diagnostics team room. June is there and asks where we have been as we have test results. What is causing the sepsis is Intestinal Cryptosporidiosis. They go to the treatment room and advise Marissa. She is happy to know what the cause is and we start her on a treatment plan of Nitazoxanide but time is running out. We discuss moving her up the transplant list and other medications to speed up recovery but we decide no on the extra medication but look into transplant list options.

I head down to the ward to check on my intern. I can see that the stress of Levi Coates is getting to her especially with all the speculation. I tell her that she needs to put it behind her much as possible but Esme states that she feels that she is the reason behind the failed merger between Edenbrook and Mass Kenmore. I want to try and get a straight answer out of her as to what happened but I am unable to do so. We go through our patients. I head up to the Diagnostics room to get an update. Ethan states that the treatment is working but not fast enough. He advises that he has authorised the liver to go to someone else. We go to break the news to Marissa. She is understandably upset but understands.

Later on, I head to Donahue’s and catch up with my friends. We are all understandably anxious about the future with the hospital not having much time left. I try to have fun but all I can think about is Ethan. The kiss today, the hand holding this morning and how I wish I was with him right now. The evening wears on, after several drinks I feel brave and send a text

CV: are you free, would like to talk

ER: I am at home.

I feign tiredness and tell everyone I am going to head home. I walk out of Donahue’s and order a ride share to Ethan’s. I let him know I am on my way.

I arrive at his building and press the buzzer. He lets me in. I make my way up to his apartment. He is standing in the doorway waiting for me. He hugs me tight. I inhale his scent. He then kisses me on the forehead.

“This is one of the things we need to talk about.”

We pull apart and head inside.

“Would you like some choc cherry tart?”

“What, no chicken?” I say with a giggle.

Ethan just glares and breaks into a smile.

“I would love some.” I say.” I sit at the island bench while he is serving.

I take a bite.”oh my gosh this is amazing! Have you been watching Nigella again?”

Ethan smiles at me ruefully.

“Seeing you genuinely smile for the first time in several weeks is all the justification I need to watch more Nigella.”

We eat our dessert and I move to sit on the couch. He pours himself a scotch and asks if I want one. I accept.

“I have missed you.” I say as he sits facing me on his couch.

“We see each other daily”

“Not what I meant Ethan and you know it.”

We sit in silence drinking our scotch

“The last few weeks have been torture Ethan.” I say rather more spitefully than I intended.

“All I have wanted to do since we broke up was see you, hug you, kiss you, hell I even wished you were in Vegas with us so you could fuck me up against the penthouse room window but no. We both had to decide that we could not handle the bullshit from everyone else at work and I regret that most of all. I have wanted to come to you so much. I have an intern who will not tell me what the hell really happened and I presume anyone else the truth of what happened which is making baby sitting her even more awkward as I can not even bring myself to tell her that I think she did. Yes we took down Panacea and Declan but the next day Kenmore is bought out and we can not help but feel responsible. And again all I have wanted to do was come to you but could not...”

By this time I am tears, hot streaming possibly some of them angry streaming down my face. Ethan moves to give me a hug and I bury face in his chest. He rubs his hands up and down my back. Eventually I settle and I pour myself another scotch. I offer the bottle to Ethan and he pours himself another.

“You are not alone rookie.” Ethan takes a sip of his drink and takes a deep breath.

“Every time I have seen you visibly upset all I have wanted to do was hug you and kiss you, hell even take you on the desk if we were alone but I haven’t and that is all because I know I have caused much of the pain. I talk myself out then berate myself later for being such a selfish coward because despite deciding to end the romantic part of our relationship I have wanted to be there for you, as your mentor and friend but what I feel for you is simmering close to the surface.”

Casey grabs Ethan’s hand and interlocks her fingers with his and squeezes.

“What are we going to do? I can see us imploding if we try to keep this charade up but I care for you too much to only want to keep things casual and keeping it professional at work is not going to work either.”

Ethan rests his spare hand on Casey’s cheek. “Do you remember what I said the first time we succumbed to our wants?”

“ I knew that if I crossed the line again there would be no coming back from it. Well you were right about it in more ways than one.”

Casey moves so that he legs are across Ethan’s lap and she positions her forehead on his. Ethan moves closer, gently kissing Casey on the lips. He pulls back slightly.

“We don’t need to decide right now rookie. I certainly do not want us to be a clandestine affair, you deserve so much more than that. Can't we just enjoy this moment. Casey nods and kisses Ethan gently. They stay in that position kissing and just holding each other for quite awhile and then they change position so that Ethan is on top. They continue to kiss, it started off as tender but it was getting more and more intense as time went on. Casey was getting an all to familiar sensation stirring in her loins. She so badly wanted to succumb but did not want to, not tonight anyway. As Ethan moved slightly she could feel his hard on and boy was it hard. She tried to put those thoughts out of her mind. He started to kiss down her neck, which solicited a moan from her mouth. The next thing Casey knew is that Ethan’s hand was moving up the inside of her thigh. She knew that if she was not going to go further she had to stop now as she knew how wet for him she was.

“Ethan, please stop!” She says. Ethan stops with his hand literally millimetres from her centre. He removes his hand and sits up.

“Are you alright?” He asks perplexed “have I done something wrong?”

“Not at all Ethan. As much as I more than want too, I also don’t want too- its weird I know but I just don’t know how I am going to feel afterwards- especially since we have not defined what this is. I’m sorry Ethan.”

“No need to apologise Rookie.” He says “you know I would never force you into anything you were not a 100% sure on.”

We look at the clock and it is 1:00am. “Did you want to stay in the guest bedroom?” Ethan asks.

“That will be nice, thank you.”

He gives me a hug and walks me to the door. “Sweet dreams rookie.”

“Goodnight Ethan.” I make my way to the bed and fall into an exhausted sleep.

Meanwhile Ethan goes to his room. A part of him wishes he had resolved what they were exactly but he also knew there were too many unknowns which made such a decision difficult. Deep down he was relieved that his feelings were reciprocated but with what happened a few weeks ago still very raw for both of them- it was hard. Ethan was exhausted but he still had a raging hard on. He so badly wanted to relieve himself inside Casey but knew that No meant no and he was not going to pressure her into a yes. He went to bed and started rub himself. Despite the exhaustion he took his time and called out Casey’s name as he released. Ethan than falls asleep. His alarm wakes him up. He gets up and goes to the kitchen and makes a cup of coffee. Casey then emerges from the guest room.

“Coffee?”

“Yes please- can you drop me home? I have no spare clothes.”

“Of course I can.” He says. They finish their coffee and Ethan drops her home.

He pulls up at the front of their building.

“Sorry for earlier” says Casey.

Ethan grabs her hand and squeezes it. “There is nothing to be sorry about Casey. You were not sure if you wanted to continue and you listened to that. I would never force you into anything that you don’t want to do.”

“Thanks Ethan.” Casey gives him a hug. “See you at work.”

Casey arrives at work to find Marissa upset. The liver she was promised has moved to another as she is too unwell to have it. She is convinced that this was her last chance.

Casey leaves her be and heads to the ward. She spots Bryce talking to two people. The lady is going to be receiving the liver. After Bryce leaves Casey walks over to have a chat. Apparently the male was going to donate a lobe of his liver to his sister Janice. Casey states she is happy that Janice was able to get the liver and asks her brother if he would still consider donating a lobe in a few days time when Marissa is better. Casey explains the situation and Janice urges her brother to do this.

Casey takes Janice’s brother to meet Marissa and they have a chat about everything. Kyra then spots her.

“You’re looking happy”

“Yeah I am, glad to see that there is still kindness in this world, even if it is towards strangers.

Kyra looks inspired. “Kindness of Strangers. I have an idea” and she walks off.

Despite still so much being up in the air with Ethan and the future, Casey is cautiously optimistic that things are slowly looking up.

My campus is now offering free HIV and HepC testing for the county once a month! We’ll also be getting contraceptives and Plan B.

I also proposed my Mexicayotl club(?) for keeping track of the Anahuac calendar and helping Latinos get in touch w their indigenous roots, but I have to actually plan exactly what will be necessary and how it will be constructed. It will have access to student government funding so I need to plan what it will need to function.

There’s a professor on campus getting his masters in Chicano studies who can serve as advisor, and I should be able to ask the Raza and Chicano professors at main campus for further opinions and ideas.

[missdeaditea]

But at what cost? How much debt will be owed? I don't trust this not to be exploited to further control people and further push hope away from those who need it. I see what happened with insulin, I saw what happened with HepC cures.

I first made a tumblr when I was 16. Pregnant with a 25 year old’s child. Absolutely terrified for my future.

Now I’ve made 31 revolutions around the Sun 🌞 the knowledge I’ve gained in the last 14 years gives me a slightly different worldview.

Surprisingly, I find myself to be incredibly similar to my 16 year old self… minus the ignorant faith I put in men who swore up and down to me that they were my friend for genuine reasons…

I know better than that now.

Some other changes:

- my grandma passed away from HepC complications.

- my mom suddenly passed away from depression.

- I got addicted to heroin and got clean. Currently have 10 years of clean time.

- the person I viewed as my soulmate left me for several other ppl / children.

- I’ve spent the last five years in an unhappy relationship that doesn’t serve me.

- I have two cats: a 2 year old male Siamese named Remy (aka Remington), and a 1 year old calico shorthair female named Maya (aka Little Miss, Miss Thang, Baby Girl, etc).

- I’m currently staying with my ex and our other two cats, two male shorthairs. A orange variety named Cheddar, and a beautiful tabby named Stormy-Daniels. We used to have their mother as well, her name is CocoBean MommaCat. But we gave her to my ex Elton’s daughter. As it was her cat originally before she got knocked up.

- currently working for the Timbers soccer stadium. Contracted to work at the NBA stadium on my off season. Which it currently is. I adore my boss. The first time I remember being excited to go to work. I can’t wait for our next season to start and I get to go back to work with my team…

- struggling for the last 4 years with feeling alone. I gained a bunch of weight when the world shutdown & I stopped working. It’s been hard to maintain friendships when I hate the way I look and don’t want anyone to see me.

- rediscovering my obsession with hip hop & music in general. After spending 4 years becoming addicted to YouTube, I’m finally back to listening to music daily. Something that brings me great solace. I can easily slide back into emotions I’ve bottled away.

Tbh I’ve just felt like I want to express myself.

I know the people/person I truly want to connect with wont see this, but it feels better to speak into the void instead of bottling it inside.

a list of factors that CAN cause poor outcomes and fatalities in blood transfusions:

being crossmatched with the wrong A/B/O, RhD/rhesus, or HLA group

Blood that isn't properly screened for blood borne disease, increasing the risk of transmission of HepC, vCJD, and HIV/AIDs

massive transfusion protocols, which have been associated with a minor increased risk in hemolytic transfusion reactions, air embolism, hyper- and hypo- kalemia (blood potassium), magnesia (blood magnesium), and calcemia (blood calcium)

Improper storage of blood and blood products like plasma/FFP and platelets

A list of factors that there have no substantial scientific proof of being linked with poor outcomes and fatalities in blood transfusion:

the sex of the donor

Currently, in the UK, there via a shortage of blood donors; in particular donors from Afro-Carribean backgrounds, whose blood is more likely to be a HLA match for transfusions for sickle cell anaemia and beta thalassaemia sufferers.

I guarantee you that if you've gone into haemorrhagic shock, or are at risk of sickle cell crisis, the absolute last thing you're going to be thinking about is the sex of your donor, because without blood — no matter who donated it — you're going to die.

Blood transfusions save lives — no matter the donor's sex — to say that donor sex is related to adverse outcomes is at best, blatant misinformation with limited if any scientific backing, and at worst, modern day phrenology that's playing dice with people's lives.

(The data Rowling uses comes from 3 trials/studies, all of which agree that a. further studies with wider sample sizes are needed, and b. the cause is likely due to an immunological factor rather than anything to do with endocrinology. Also, bias of interpretation is A Thing, folks.)

The sequel ‘Skull Measuring for beginners’ is scheduled for 2025.
