Please don't fall for the line, "But health insurers only take this tiny % of US healthcare expenses!!! They're such maligned innocents uwu."

I have news for you:

THE MONEY THAT INSURERS COME AWAY WITH ≠ THE POVERTY THEY LEAVE IN THEIR WAKE

Insurers create poverty when I can't contact my doctor for a vital prescription because his secretary spent all day submitting and revising prior auth forms instead of answering the phone. The money for her labor gets flushed down a burocratic drain, and the insurer doesn't get a cent of it. Money goes to the time my doctor spends begging his employers to hire more secretaries, and the time his employers spend coming up with reasons to say no.

Money goes into the time pharmacy workers go back and forth with patients about why we can't have the medication we need to walk, or live, or think. It goes into the time they play phone tag with the doctor, then the insurer, trying to figure out where the care got blocked, so they can give us a clue how to unblock it.

Money goes into the time professionals spend convincing me not to self-harm when I can't get the meds my doctor prescribed, psychiatric or otherwise.

Often I'm denied a medication that only costs a few dollars out of pocket with the right coupon. Medicine I could afford, if buying medicine out of pocket when you have insurance didn't create more red tape than it cuts through. If I spend hours in therapy because an insurer cheated me out of $8 of medicine, even the insurer loses money. But they net more gain than loss, because most patients don't have time to fight them like I do.

If my body weren't worn out from years fighting this battle, my thyroid would probably be dying more slowly. Society would have to pay for fewer blood tests and doctor's visits, for lower dosages of levothyroxine.

If my insurance covered more frequent thyroid tests, I'd spend less time symptomatic. My kidneys would be safer, and so would every system in my body that works better when it's easier to move. In a million little ways, the restrictions insurers place on our care will land society with heftier medical bills down the line. Bills for treatment that many of us won't want if we get sick properly at 80 after long life.

Then there's the cost incurred when medical workers are bone-weary and soul-weary from fighting for us, and they make expensive mistakes. There's the lapses in care because so many workers get worn away to nothing and leave the field understaffed, leading to preventable emergencies and hospitalizations.

Part of what makes the insurance industry so ghoulish is that they could still rake in millions in decent ways. Fewer millions, and more slowly. They could ensure that seniors can refuse unwanted care; it would cut costs massively while reducing cruelty. They could offer better preventive medicine. Ensure easier access to group counseling, so paid experts can stretch their time farther and more people can find a support network. There are ways to make medicine cheaper while also making it kinder. Execs have chosen an antagonistic stance toward patients and doctors because it pays off somewhat bigger and a lot faster. It looks better on a quarterly report. The fight that's resulted is wildly expensive for everyone.

THE MONEY THAT HEALTH INSURERS BRING IN DOES NOT REFLECT THE COST THEY INCUR ON OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM

...let alone the cost they incur on the human beings trapped inside it

#he's good in a crisis ok#and a dumb whore everywhere else

I'm the anon that asked why you think Chase is generally stupid,except for some talents. Can you talk why do you think he's a dumb person with a single talent,instead of a generally smart person who lacks common sense at times?

I mean, the short version is I’m joking. Just like when I call Cameron insufferable. The show itself likes to call Chase a Dumb Whore.

But the fact of the matter is that Chase isn’t stupid. House doesn’t hire idiots, even if he calls his employees stupid roughly twice a week. We see in S4 that he will fire someone immediately (CIA chick) if they can’t pull their weight; Chase does.

He does, in show, have a bit of a reputation for being dumb and lazy, and I think both have their… moments? Lazy is easier to prove: Chase tends to be quieter in differentials than Cameron and Foreman. He’s the least likely to argue his points or insist he’s right. Time and time again, he also shows he’s a bit apathetic: in Safe he and Cameron discuss the teenage patient’s boyfriend. They need to test his sperm, and Cameron worries that they should tell the parents, who will not be pleased. Chase shrugs it off. They’ll find out when they get billed for the test. Cameron asks if he’s really okay with them finding out like that; he doesn’t even hesitate before confirming “pretty much.” He prefers to take the easier path.

The dumb is a little more… meta-textual, let’s say. First of all, Chase is an intensivist. Foreman and Cameron are top level experts in their fields of disease. Foreman always thinking neurological is practically a running joke; I’m not sure if fandom has pinged on the fact that Lupus is a running joke because Cameron keeps suggesting it, because she’s an immunologist. They both tend to brainstorm in their specialties, they know a lot of very specific illness and disease stuff for them. Same with House: he has a double specialty in infectious disease and kidney stuff. Chase doesn’t have that kind of background. He’s not an expert in any body part or type of sickness. He’s… good at keeping people alive. And that is not easy, and we see time and again that he’s really good at it. But he doesn’t have that same kind of knowledge specialty, and so in differentials he… contributes, for sure, but he doesn’t have the “it must be lupus!” “it must be neurological!” thing. House also doesn’t defer to him as much — House recognizes Foreman knows more about Brain Stuff than he does, so when it’s a brain thing, Foreman is expected to know. Chase doesn’t have that kind of niche, so he comes off as a little less… brainstorm-y. Cerebral.

There’s also moments here and there in the show where they outright joke or imply he’s a little dim. There’s the “dumb whore” bit and him choosing password as his password. Way back in episode two of the show, he’s doing a crossword puzzle with a medical clue and can’t figure it out; Foreman does instantly. We know about Foreman and Cameron’s very prestigious CV and schooling history (he went to one of the top schools in the US and had perfect grades; she interned at the mayo clinic). All we know about Chase until S7 is that his dad, apparently, got him the job. Also, because Chase is the dedicated Keep ‘Em Alive Guy, there’s a whole bunch of episodes where, say, Foreman and Cameron are trying to figure stuff out or searching the home while Chase is busily working on the patient, so he seems to do “less” than the other two. This is probably where the “Chase screwed up” running theme comes from too: he cuts people open more than the other two, so if there’s a physical procedure (and potential mistake), it’s him and not Cameron who probably made it.

But that all said, all jokes aside, I don’t think he’s dumb. I mean — he’s dumb, but he’s not stupid. He might not be a disease or organ specialist like the others, but he still is able to keep up. He’s very good at keeping people alive. He also has a real penchant for out of the box thinking and creativity that bumps his Solve Rate up higher than any of the other fellows. As early as the Pilot he’s able to come up with a creative solution to prove the patient has Ham Worms. He’s shown plenty of times that he is incredibly good at reading people; he’s a good manipulator and lowkey House’s default “schemes guy” in early seasons, when he needs to trick a patient (or scam money out of the S4 betting pools and Kutner). He’s able to completely see through House and Foreman multiple times; House even goes so far as to say it’s why Chase was hired.

I think if anything it’s laziness that’s Chase’s biggest issue. He’s shown plenty of times he can be brilliant and is observant and creative, he just rarely bothers or cares enough to try. He’s… kind of a spoiled rich kid. He doesn’t have to work hard for things, so he doesn’t. He’s passive and more than a little spineless, and finds it easier to go along than assert himself in early seasons. He might not be dumb, but people see him that way, and I really don’t think he minds. Because it’s easier, and because he doesn’t really care what Foreman (or whoever) thinks. The rare times he does go all out tend to be exceptions: he works his ass off to prove his father wrong in S1, and Treiber in S8, because he’s mad more than because he’s that worried about the case. He figures out the same thing as House in Control, why the patient is really sick, but only because he’s afraid he’s about to be fired. He’s lazy. He works well under pressure.

I’m going to be super pretentious here, but when I was younger I read the short story “A Good Man is Hard To Find.” The main character is a deeply unpleasant and vain older woman. When her life is threatened, however, she becomes desperate and kind and empathetic. One of the last lines is another character’s musing (and I've thought about this line nearly every day of my life since): 

"She would of been a good woman," The Misfit said, "if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life."

In a way, that’s Chase. He does great when he’s sufficiently motivated; it’s just that most of the time, he’s only motivated for personal reasons.

But he’s not stupid.

The ‘iDIVERSE’ program bars white and Asian researchers from applying.

The University of California, Los Angeles, medical school was hit last week with whistleblower allegations that its admissions office has for years discriminated on the basis of race, in violation of California law, by holding black and Latino applicants to lower standards than their white and Asian counterparts.

The allegations triggered an email message from the dean of the medical school, Steven Dubinett, who denied the claims and said that students and faculty "are held to the highest standards of academic excellence." He subsequently told an obscure Los Angeles Times opinion columnist that the allegations, published in the Washington Free Beacon, are "fact-free."

Hiring and admissions decisions, he wrote in his message last week, are "based on merit," not race, "in a process consistent with state and federal law."

But Dubinett himself directs a center within the medical school, the Clinical and Translational Science Institute, that houses a race-based fellowship experts say is illegal.

Participants in the "iDIVERSE" program "must be" black, Hispanic, Native American, Pacific Islander, LGBT, or a woman, according to screenshots of a now-deleted webpage obtained by the Free Beacon. Fellows research ways to increase diversity in clinical trials as part of a study funded by Pfizer, the American Heart Association, and Gates Ventures, the personal LLC of Microsoft founder Bill Gates.

The website indicates that the deadline to apply to the program, which has existed for two years, was March 1.

"This is obviously illegal," said Adam Mortara, the lead trial lawyer for Students for Fair Admissions in its lawsuit against Harvard, which led to the Supreme Court decision last year that outlawed affirmative action. "Every time we sue a company or institution for doing this, they settle by ending the program."

Dubinett and UCLA medical school did not respond to requests for comment.

The program is an awkward albatross for a school that spent Memorial Day weekend doing damage control after a Free Beacon report showed that record numbers of UCLA medical students are failing basic tests of clinical knowledge—in part, admissions officers said, because standards have been lowered by affirmative action.

On Saturday, a fourth-year student posted data on X, formerly Twitter, that he claimed had been released internally to refute that report. Though the new data showed that students did better on a recent round of tests, known as shelf exams, than some other cohorts, UCLA has not addressed the rise in failure rates over time or the fact that nearly a quarter of students in the class of 2025 failed three or more shelf exams.

Nor has it explained how the percentage of Asian matriculants shrunk by almost 50 percent since 2018, with most of the drop occurring after a new dean of admissions, Jennifer Lucero was hired in 2020. That decline coincided with a sharp increase in the number of students who come from "medically under-served" areas or identify as "disadvantaged"—indicators that admissions officials say are being used as proxies for race.

Matriculants from under-served areas nearly doubled as a percentage of the incoming class after Lucero took the helm in 2020, rising steadily from 34 to 56 percent of first-year students over four years, per data from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC).

The number of first-year students indicating disadvantage likewise rose by nearly 60 percent, from 42 percent in 2020 to 67 percent in 2023. No other elite medical school has come close to these numbers, according to a review of AAMC data for the top 20 schools on U.S News & World Report’s rankings for medical research.

While the trends don’t provide proof of discrimination, they are consistent with the accounts of racial gerrymandering from UCLA admissions officers. Lucero has allegedly told officials that the class should reflect the "diversity" of California, where racial preferences have been illegal since 1996, and has attacked those who raise concerns about minority candidates with low test scores. She even made the entire admissions committee sit through a two-hour presentation on Native American history after a Native American applicant was rejected, three sources said.

Together with the iDIVERSE fellowship, which launched in 2022 and involves partnerships with other institutions, the accounts paint a picture of a medical school suffused with racial preferences and determined to skirt civil rights law by any means necessary. They come as the medical school is reviewing its entire first-year curriculum in the wake of a separate Free Beacon report on a required course, "Structural Racism and Health Equity," in which students learn that weight loss is a "hopeless endeavor."

That course also hosted a guest speaker, Lisa Gray-Garcia, who has referred to the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks as "justice" and led students in chants of "free, free Palestine." Days later, two residents in the medical school’s psychiatry program delivered a talk that glorified self-immolation as a form of "resistance" in the context of the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

Both incidents were cited in a congressional probe of UCLA’s response to anti-Semitism—another ongoing controversy. At a hearing on Capitol Hill this month, UCLA chancellor Gene Block said the medical school was investigating Gray-Garcia’s talk but offered no further details on the review.

The whistleblower allegations are not the first admissions scandal to hit UCLA. In 2021, a former soccer coach was sentenced to eight months in prison after he helped two applicants pose as athletic recruits so they would be accepted to the university.

TIMING: Current LOCATION: The Medical Examiner's office PARTIES: Regan and Fang (going by "Sara") SUMMARY: Regan has crabs, and Fang is there to help! Billing herself as an expert at getting rid of crabs, Regan was all too eager to believe it, and hired her immediately. The crabs prove to be a little trickier than anticipated, but Fang gets bonus points for style.

Regan didn’t know anything about Sara Fukuhara, other than one very important fact: she was highly confident she could rid the morgue of crabs, for enough money. And the place was lousy with them. She needed the help. The crabs spilled out of the freezers when she opened them, they slashed their way into her yogurt containers, and they even cut the power at one point, mid-autopsy. It was unacceptable, and a real problem. So Sara was a welcome presence here.

She waited by the entrance of the morgue, shifting her weight between her feet. Marcy raised a brow, not used to seeing Regan outside of the basement unless strictly necessary. “It’s about the crabs.” Regan had offered, and Marcy’s curiosity quickly died down. When a young woman – perhaps about 30 years old – approached, Regan nearly jumped her. Hardly anyone came here uninvited, and she wasn’t expecting any next of kin to drop by. So this was probably Sara. Regan had to resist the urge to drop a wad of cash by the woman’s feet, she was so eager to have this whole mess dealt with. “Dr. Kavanagh. I believe we spoke online. About the crabs. You must be Sara. Right?” Please say you’re Sara. Regan stepped aside, a gesture to invite her into the morgue. “Anything you need, I can probably provide. We have a whole stockroom full of chemicals. I will help with your methodology however I can.” The crab that scuttled out from under one of the lobby chairs only pressed her further. “Should we start with that one?"

Fang, rather “Sara Fukuhara,” arrived at the morgue wearing a denim jacket over a white shirt and a pair of jeans. Not exactly an ensemble the real Sara Fukuhara would be wearing to meet a client, but to be fair, the real Sara Fukuhara wasn’t short on rent money. Also, the real Sara Fukuhara wouldn’t have to go all the way to the morgue to meet a client. Dead people don’t have shitty radios and cameras they needed to get fixed. Dead people were lucky. 

As soon as she saw someone at the entrance, Fang gave them a quick wave. “You the one with the crabs?” She asked nonchalantly, not even making any effort to quiet herself down despite noticing someone else close by. It wasn’t quite the question a stranger would love to answer, especially without the proper context, but the whole town had crabs, so…the confusion would be the stranger’s problem, not hers. “Sara? Oh, yeah, that’s…me. Do you have a box, though?”

“Yes, I have crabs.” Regan replied, without batting an eye. “We have established this. I think everyone has crabs right now. Though… some more than others.” Behind her desk, Marcy sniggered, and Regan assumed it was a funny text message or something. 

She took in Sara’s appearance, which contrasted with her own professional dress, as well as what most visitors to the morgue wore. But she was in no position to pass judgment. There was something missing though – some kind of patch, or hat, or other indication of what pest control company she was with. There was no logo to be seen. Thinking on it, had Sara even said this was her job? Regan wasn’t sure she wanted to know. “A box. I can get a box.” She nodded, serious, as if she’d just been entrusted with a highly important task. Regan held up a finger to say one moment and shuffled into the nearby storeroom. One of the boxes that had previously been full of PPE was nearly empty, so she set the remaining aside and darted back out with the empty box. She presented it to Sara with pride. “Are you planning on trapping all of them in this? Do you have a special lure for them?”

Pfft, Fang almost lost it at that reply. For a moment longer than she wanted, her face broke into an amused smile, though she tried her best to quickly chase it away by pursing her lips. “Yes, of course, everyone…has crabs…” The woman was making it hard for her to keep her composure but she managed. Maybe it wasn’t the best idea to head straight here after a comedy marathon with the actual Sara Fukuhara. Fang didn’t seek such entertainment, but Sara was her landlady, so saying no would have endangered her living accommodations. 

“Special lure?” Fang took the box from the woman and raised an eyebrow at the question. They were crabs. What kind of lure would she need apart from kicking them all into the box? “I was thinking I’d just sweep them into a box. You guys have brooms here, right?” Fang was not animal control. She wasn’t pest control. She was definitely not a fisherman. She didn’t know a thing or two about handling ordinary sea creatures. But they were just ordinary sea creatures. How difficult could this job be? “By the way, half payment now, half later.”  

Regan blinked at Sara, trying not to hide her dumbfoundedness. All she was going to do was use a broom to collect them into the box? That was it? Such a simple solution, Regan couldn’t believe it was a solution at all. All of her previous attempts to contain the crabs ended in failure – more would appear as if out of thin air, or they’d start scrambling out of their makeshift prison. Sara knew what she was dealing with here, right? This was a strange species. Don’t question the expert, she mentally chided herself. She knew how it felt to be on the receiving end of that. “I just thought… I thought they would require something a little more than a box and a broom. Have you had success with this procedure in the past?” She squirmed a little, shifting her weight between her feet. 

Payment. Right. Regan forgot that people often asked for the sum to be split like that, before and after. Back in Saol Eile, the others simply bound each other to their word where payment was concerned; there was no need for trust. Though on occasion, some would still manage to get into a war of words and wit with each other, ducking their promises. But Sara was a simple human, and Regan needed to try to become one again, too. “Of course!” Regan pulled the clip of twenty dollar bills from her pocket and flicked through it with her fingers, ready to count, completely unaware that such an action might impact the cost. “How much will it be?” 

Surely she wouldn’t regret any of this. A crab-less morgue was worth clearing away any doubt. “Do we have brooms? Of course we have brooms. Many. What kind do you want? Oh, I should just show you. Follow me.” Regan scanned her badge by the door and allowed Sara deeper into the morgue, down the corridor and into an impressive storeroom of cleaning supplies. Those stenches could be stubborn around here. As could the stains. “Maybe you want the one with extra-firm bristles? Or the corn broom? Oh, we have a rubber one, too…”

“I mean,” Fang simply shrugged, as this was her first time dealing with runaway crabs. She did fight that one monster crab in Japan, though, but it wasn’t confined in a morgue. It was at sea, and she did almost die that time. Plus, there were, like, ten hunters with her, and she was just one of the soldiers, not even the general calling the shots. That was her mentor, the guy who died, whom she had wanted to avenge but failed to do so, as his killer left for this town and was killed by another slayer before Fang could get her hands on it. “It’s just crabs, right? How hard could it be?”

If Fang took a moment to consider everything else that was spoken and shared between them, she’d maybe realize that if it was that easy, the woman wouldn’t have hired her to do the paid job. She had the box and the broom. She could’ve done it herself. But Fang also knew that people here don’t really like doing jobs for themselves. They had the money, so why would they? “How much do you got?” was not something an experienced businesswoman would ask, but Fang was not an experienced businesswoman, so she asked the question without much thought. 

Fang followed the lady inside the morgue, taking note of the whole scanning thing with the badge and the door, which impressed her. Fang thought it was like one of those sci-fi movies that the real Sara Fukuhara had introduced her, too. Some of them were a hit and a miss, not as entertaining story-wise as they were more impressive visually and potentially, but they were all decent time wasters. “Corn broom? The extra firm bristles should be fine.” Just in case she needed to knock the crabs unconscious. Just wallop them right then and there

“Here? Um…” Regan finished flicking through the bills. “$400. Will that cover your expenses?” Though, as she asked, she realized there weren’t any expenses so far. Regan had been the one to provide the box, and now the broom. But Sara’s knowledge and willingness were worth something, right? She folded $200 and handed it over to Sara. She also dug out the extra-firm bristle broom from the bundle of options, and delicately nudged it toward her. “I hope this meets your expectations. But if it doesn’t, there are other options available. And it might not. I apologize, but I don’t have a lot of confidence in this broom plan. The crabs have been resistant to these kinds of interventions.”

The crabs would be the ones to determine if it would work. And they weren’t going to wait around for Regan and Sara to formulate a plan better than the flimsy one they had. Quiet scuttling sounded from behind her, and from underneath the necklace’s glamour, Regan felt her wings twitch in disgust. She hated that sound. It was the sound of soiled yogurt and interrupted autopsies. Those crabs were menaces. One of them crabwalked out of the shadows, and seemed to be looking up at them with stalked eyes, its antennae bobbing with interest. It wasn’t alone. More scuttling, more spindly limbs and clacking carapaces. There were two, then three, then one fell from one of the storage shelves right on Sara’s shoes, and another, especially big crab nudged the heavy door, and it creaked shut on whining hinges. Regan jolted. Looked to Sara, who didn’t seem to understand the gravity of what had just happened. How could she? 

“That door does not open from the inside.

Fang’s eyes grew wide at the sight of the $400 but her hands were quicker in swiping half that amount out of the morgue lady’s hands. “Yeah, this should be fine,” she whistled internally while she remained emotionless on the surface, counting the bills to satiate her own curiosity. Or was it paranoia? Potato, potato. Or is it tomato, tomato? Either way, Fang was going to beat up as many crabs as she could to get the rest of that money. 

“Should be fine,” Fang was already looking over the broom in her hands when her eyebrow raised out of, well, curiosity. And maybe a little bit of paranoia. “How resistant?” Did the crabs here have massive, sharp pincers that could cut the bristles and maybe even the wood of the broom in half? Those didn’t sound like normal crabs, but also not undead crabs…yet. “Do these crabs stink like they’ve been dead for a while?” 

When a crab fell on her shoes, Fang immediately tried to step on it with all her might. It was instinctive, but nothing to brag about. A normal person would first assess the situation. But Fang was not normal. She was born Chinese, trained Japanese, and now stuck in a creepy American town with people who can’t even sweep crabs off their floors. “Wait… So, how do we get out?” Were they trapped there? With the crabs? Well, at least they won’t go hungry. Though, ‘they’ might not even refer to Fang and the Doctor

“Please,” Regan drawled, really not understanding what or why Fang was asking about dead crabs, but thinking she did. “All crabs smell like that, I think. They’re detritivores. And some of them are trying their darndest to get in with the cadavers. They still don’t smell quite as good as a – I mean, bad. They don’t stink quite as bad as a cadaver.”

Seeing Sara try to smash up one of the crabs with such gusto held some promise, didn’t it? Yes. So Regan would try to relax, even though the door closed on them. She was with an expert. And she was an expert in her own right, if it came down to survival. But it wouldn’t. Marcy was still here, up in the lobby. “I send a message to Marcy, she gets the storeroom keys, and lets us out.” Regan exhaled in relief, reminding herself that that probably wasn’t too complicated of a feat. Marcy would act quickly once she knew they were stuck here. Regan pulled out her flip phone and started a text to her, but a crab practically flew from the body bag shelf and landed right on Regan’s hand, pincers-first. 

“Ow!” She screeched, phone dropping to the floor as her thumb swelled and the dangling light above them burst into a hundred pieces. She gritted her teeth at the sensation of glass on skin, but it wasn’t nearly as surprising as the initial pinch. And something she had grown far more used to over the years. But now they were trapped, and in the dark. And her phone was on the floor, not visible, and surrounded by shattered glass and pointy crabs. That was probably just about what she deserved for reacting so rashly to the pain. You’ve endured fifty times as much and it no longer breaks you. Stupid. “Sara? Are you okay?” Regan called out in the dark. “I’ll just – my phone couldn’t have gone far. Unless the crabs took it and moved it. They wouldn’t, right? They lack that dexterity.”

Well, that wasn’t reassuring. Fang didn’t know what that word meant but the first thing that came to her mind was another word: carnivores. And then two other words followed that thought right away, omnivores and herbivores. The gears in her head started to turn, and she immediately frowned at the idea that was trying to force itself inside her mind. “Wait, does that mean what I think it means? Detrivores? They eat the dead?” That was more concerning to her than the morgue lady switching good and bad smells. In her defense, Fang thought she was just used to the stink because of her job.

“Who’s Marcy?” Fang asked without even turning to the Doctor, focused on stomping on another pair of crabs nearby. “You all right?” The slayer turned to her employer, never mind the fact that they were now in the dark. She could see in the dark. Most slayers could. There were exceptions, like that blind guy in Osaka, but he was a different story. Wasn’t even from that place. Kinda like her at that moment in time. “I’m fine. Yeah… They wouldn’t,” Fang stomped on another crab, the same crab that tried to take the Doctor’s hand off, before kicking on a couple more, trying to find the lost phone. “You sure Marcy’s on the way?”

When Fang first started training to become a slayer, darkness was her biggest fear. It reminded her of how her parents were taken from her, how she was helpless to save them, how it was the segue that brought their family into its demise. Fang overcame that fear, but it took her months. These days, darkness was her greatest ally. And it proved itself once again the same. Fang’s eyes were quicker to notice the glimmer of hope buried underneath the pile of scuttling crabs. With a few more kicks, she unearthed it finally, grabbing the thing before any of the shelled menaces could grab it back. Sure, her hand didn’t come out of the encounter unscathed, taking a few cuts here and there, but Fang has had worse cuts, bled from worse places. “Got it. Here. When Marcy gets here, you should get out, give me time in here alone. I’ll deal with the crabs."

“In a way,” she explained with a shrug, “They eat dead matter, detritus. Often that’s plants, but they’re opportunistic. You know, bottom feeders. Crabs. They’re not picky.” Regan could respect a creature that ate anything necessary to survive, but she didn’t respect when they broke into the morgue and started applying that principle to the bodies she watched over. “Marcy is the receptionist. You know, the person in the lobby who was laughing at something.” Regan explained, squinting in hopes that it would help her eyes adjust to the dark, but it didn’t help all that much. All she saw were some vague shadows she knew to be roughly where the towering shelves were located, and something that looked roughly like movement, which might have been Sara. Or a stack of crabs moving like a person. There was another blur of movement, this one followed by a deep, satisfying crunching noise coming from below – the sound of a cracking carapace if she’d ever heard it. “Um, I’m not… sure, actually. I don’t know if my text sent before that crab knocked my phone to the floor.” Well, actually, she had dropped it, but that was a detail that didn’t need rumination. 

Regan considered crouching down and sweeping her hands across the floor to find her phone, glass be damned, but it sounded as though Sara may have beat her to it. There were brushing noises, the soft tapping of glass against broken glass, punctuated by the occasional harsh crunch. How could Sara see in this darkness? “You must eat a lot of vitamin A. My eyes aren’t even able to adjust in here – I can’t see anything at all. It’s strange that you can.” Though not outside of the realm of plausibility, right? Regan needed to eat more carrots. Simple. But a glow cut across the dark, so bright it almost hurt, and Regan’s eyes widened when she realized Sara was holding her phone in her hands, recovered. 

“But the glass, are you…? You aren’t hurt, are you?” But of course, her priority needed to be getting the two of them out of there. She opened the phone back up and noted the text hadn’t sent – it was there waiting for her, with a string of incorrect key taps from when the crab dropped on her. Regan sent it like that anyway. We’re stuck in storeroom number 1. Please hedkfnvvc vsddv. It worked. She wasn’t going to wait for a repeat. Which was the right call, as she could feel something tumbling across the top of her shoe. She kicked the bothersome crab off, sending it flying in a direction she couldn’t see. “Are you sure you want to be left alone here? Is it part of your technique?”

Did that make them undead? Fang had to take a few seconds to think that through. They eat the dead. Doesn’t make them undead. When her small brain finally processed that thought, she immediately turned to the Doctor and asked without any hesitation: “Oh, yeah, is she single?” No thoughts, brain empty, or rather brain too exhausted to filter thoughts. “Well, yeah, I eat a lot of carrots. I’m like a rabbit,” Fang had used that exact same excuse so many times before, though this time, she omitted the joke about the stereotype of how much rabbits procreated. It just felt out of place in this situation. 

“Don’t worry about me, Doc,” Fang took her back as soon as the good doctor retrieved her phone, shaking it in the air, pretending the glass hurt her even so slightly. Of course it hurt, but not as much as it did most others. Fang had pieces of glass in her more times than she could count. From getting thrown through windows, smashed through glass tables, having things made of glass thrown at her. Probably explained her luck. “I’ll manage.” She always did. Even though it always cost her something. A few bruises, a cut here and there, broken limbs and appendages, and most regrettably, her late mentor. But that was just life for her, for a slayer, for a lost soul fighting to find her place in a world that doesn’t even feel like home anymore. Sometimes the pain is needed. 

Once the Doctor was able to get the hell out of there, Fang rained hell down on the crabs. At first she was just stomping them. Like they owed her money. Rent money. Fang was behind her payment, so her rage and desperation was unrivaled. Then, when she realized they didn’t seem like they were stopping, quitting, backing off, she took her katana, which she had earlier disguised as an umbrella. The real Sara was very creative with her hands, and she didn’t like asking a lot of questions, too. Fang slashed and cut as many crabs as her eyes could see. Anything that scuttled about? She would strike. 

But they were too many, too determined, and it started to seem like it was a useless attempt. Not even her furious screams could stop their onslaught. Eventually, Fang would have to give up, get the hell out of there, maybe chalk this defeat up to an infestation. These crabs liked to eat dead things, right? Well, there was plenty in this place, which meant these pests would rather die than give up all that delicious food. Gross.

And there was their salvation: the door clicked open, light flooding inside, as Marcy’s confused head peeked into the room. “Dr. Kavanagh? Are you both in here?” 

“Yes!” Regan exclaimed, turning to Sara, who was now lit up by the light pouring in from the hallway. The floor seemed to be moving as crabs migrated away from the open door to hide under the shelves. “Marcy, thank– I appreciate you coming to get us. You’re single, right? Oh, I’m not asking for me, I’m asking for – you know what, never mind.” Regan hopped over a couple of crabs and made haste for the door. Sara seemed content staying, as she’d said. “You’re certain? The door won’t be locked this time.” Marcy sniggered and headed back up, while Regan lingered and made sure the door wouldn’t lock when it was closed. “I’ll be in my office down the hall. Come inform me when you’re done, and we’ll proceed with the second half of your payment.”

But as Regan closed the door, leaving Sara in the dark in a room full of crabs, glass, and only some brooms to help deal with them, she couldn’t help but wonder what secret techniques were going to unfold in her absence. She waited outside the door for a moment, just in case. No call for help. Seemingly no regret. And within seconds, she could hear more popping and cracking of carapaces. But that wasn’t all. There were deep thuds like furniture scraping against the floor, whines like a crab boiling on a stove, and she was pretty sure the floor was vibrating with base, like music was playing. Above all of that were the grunts and thwacks and animal screeches. Her hand hovered over the doorknob, curiosity difficult to contend with. It was an ear piercing yodel that made her decide… this was one of those times where she would rather not know.

5 Tips to Ensure a Successful Recovery After Knee Surgery

       Recovering from knee surgery can be a difficult and lengthy process. Knee replacement surgery is a major operation that requires a significant amount of time for recovery. It is important to understand the steps involved in the recovery process in order to ensure that you are able to return to your daily activities as quickly and safely as possible. With proper preparation, care, and rehabilitation, you can make sure that your knee surgery recovery goes smoothly.

       The most important thing to remember when recovering from knee surgery is to take it slow and follow your doctor's instructions. You will likely need crutches or a walker for several weeks after the procedure, so it is important to arrange for these items before your surgery. Additionally, physical therapy plays an important role in helping you regain strength and mobility in your knee joint. Regularly taking longer walks is an essential part of physical therapy and recovery; within two to three months, most people can return to their normal activities with minimal pain or discomfort.

       It is also important to pay attention to any signs of infection or other complications during the healing process. Be sure to contact your doctor if you experience any unusual pain or swelling in the area around your knee joint. Additionally, be sure to get plenty of rest during this time so that your body has enough energy for healing and rehabilitation.

Knee replacement surgery is a major operation that can help reduce pain and improve mobility. After the surgery, it is important to take the necessary steps to ensure a successful recovery.

Here are a few tips on how to recover after receiving knee surgery:

Follow your doctor’s instructions - Your doctor will provide you with specific instructions on how to care for your knee and what activities you should avoid during your recovery period. Make sure to follow these instructions closely in order to ensure a successful recovery.

Take medications as prescribed - Your doctor may prescribe pain medications or other medications to help with inflammation and swelling in the knee joint. Make sure to take these medications as prescribed by your doctor in order to reduce pain and promote healing.

Rest - It is important to get plenty of rest following knee surgery in order for your body to heal properly. Avoid strenuous activities such as running or jumping, and try not to put too much pressure on the affected area while it is healing.

Exercise regularly - Once you have been cleared by your doctor, start doing light exercises such as walking or swimming in order to increase strength and flexibility in the affected area. This will also help reduce stiffness and improve mobility over time.

Wear compression garments - Compression garments can help reduce swelling and provide support for the knee joint during recovery time. Make sure to wear them as recommended by your doctor in order for them to be effective.

By following these tips, you can ensure that you have a successful recovery after receiving knee surgery!

When you have been severely injured in an accident, it is important to consider hiring a personal injury lawyer.

A personal injury lawyer can help you get the compensation you deserve for your medical bills and other expenses related to the accident. They are experts in negotiation and can maximize your recovery, as well as make sure that you receive the full spectrum of damages that you are entitled to. Additionally, many personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning that it may be free to you. With all these benefits, it is clear why hiring a personal injury lawyer after being severely injured in an accident is worth considering.

When to Hire a Michigan Pedestrian Accident Lawyer: Key Signs You Need Legal Help

Pedestrian accidents can result in life-changing injuries, and navigating the aftermath can be overwhelming. In Michigan, pedestrians face an elevated risk of injury due to high traffic volumes, unpredictable weather, and busy intersections. Whether you're a victim of a pedestrian accident or you’re trying to help a loved one recover from their injuries, knowing when to seek legal assistance is crucial. A Michigan pedestrian accident lawyer can be a vital ally when facing challenges like disputes over liability, dealing with insurance companies, or receiving an unfair settlement. This article explores key signs that it may be time to hire a pedestrian accident lawyer in Michigan.

1. Disputes Over Liability

One of the most common reasons to seek legal help after a pedestrian accident is a dispute over who is at fault. In Michigan, drivers are typically responsible for yielding to pedestrians at crosswalks, but establishing fault can become complicated. If the driver denies responsibility or claims the pedestrian was partly at fault, it can result in a lengthy legal battle.

A Michigan pedestrian accident lawyer can help determine liability by investigating the details of the accident. They will review evidence, such as traffic camera footage, witness statements, police reports, and expert testimony, to establish who was at fault. A lawyer will also help you understand Michigan’s comparative fault laws, which might affect your compensation if you are found partially responsible.

If you find yourself in a situation where there’s a dispute over liability, hiring a lawyer can ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive a fair investigation into your case.

2. Insurance Company Denies or Lowballs Your Claim

Another red flag that it may be time to hire a Michigan pedestrian accident lawyer is when the insurance company either denies your claim outright or offers you an amount much lower than what you deserve. Insurance companies often attempt to reduce their costs by offering low settlements to accident victims, especially if the victim does not have legal representation. These offers are often inadequate and fail to cover the full extent of medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses.

A lawyer specializing in pedestrian accidents can negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf. They understand the tactics used by insurance adjusters and will fight to ensure you receive compensation that reflects the true value of your injuries and losses. They will calculate future medical costs, rehabilitation, lost earning capacity, and emotional pain and suffering, ensuring that all aspects of your recovery are taken into account.

3. Serious or Life-Threatening Injuries

If the pedestrian accident resulted in serious or life-threatening injuries, such as broken bones, spinal cord injuries, brain trauma, or internal injuries, it is critical to hire a Michigan pedestrian accident lawyer. Serious injuries require extensive medical care, and recovery can be long and difficult. This can lead to significant medical bills, lost wages, and long-term care needs.

A pedestrian accident lawyer with experience in handling severe injury cases can help you get the compensation you need to cover medical treatments, rehabilitation, and lost income, as well as pain and suffering. These cases often involve higher compensation amounts, and a lawyer can ensure that the insurance companies do not minimize your claim.

4. You Are Facing Long-Term Disability or Recovery

If your injuries are preventing you from returning to work or living your life as you did before the accident, it’s time to consult a Michigan pedestrian accident lawyer. Long-term or permanent disabilities can make it impossible for victims to return to their normal jobs, causing them to lose future income and face additional costs.

In cases like this, a lawyer will help you seek compensation not only for your current medical expenses but also for the future costs associated with your disability. This can include long-term care, vocational rehabilitation, and compensation for the permanent loss of income or ability to work.

Additionally, if you have been left with physical or emotional trauma from the accident, a lawyer can help pursue compensation for pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.

5. The Driver Was Uninsured or Underinsured

In some cases, the driver responsible for the pedestrian accident may not have enough insurance to cover your medical expenses or other losses, or they may be completely uninsured. In these situations, hiring a Michigan pedestrian accident lawyer is even more important.

Your lawyer will explore other potential sources of compensation, such as your own insurance policy (if you have uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage), the possibility of a lawsuit against the at-fault driver, or even claims against a third party who may have been liable (e.g., a construction company for a poorly designed crosswalk).

Navigating these complicated issues requires the expertise of a lawyer who can guide you through every potential avenue for securing the compensation you deserve.

6. You Are Unsure of Your Legal Rights

When you're dealing with the aftermath of a pedestrian accident, you may feel overwhelmed by the legal and financial implications. Insurance forms, medical bills, and legal paperwork can be difficult to navigate, especially if you're dealing with injuries and emotional distress. If you're unsure about what your legal rights are or whether you're being treated fairly by the insurance company, hiring a Michigan pedestrian accident lawyer can provide clarity and direction.

A lawyer will review the facts of your case, explain your legal options, and help you understand the full scope of compensation you may be entitled to. They will also advise you on important deadlines, such as the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit in Michigan, ensuring that you don’t miss any crucial steps in the legal process.

7. The Accident Involved a Hit-and-Run Driver

If the driver involved in the pedestrian accident fled the scene, your situation becomes more complicated. In Michigan, hit-and-run accidents can be difficult to investigate, especially if the driver’s identity is unknown. A Michigan pedestrian accident lawyer can assist in tracking down the at-fault driver, utilizing all available resources like traffic cameras, witness statements, and law enforcement agencies. If the driver cannot be located, your lawyer can help you pursue compensation through your own uninsured motorist coverage, if applicable.

Conclusion

There are several situations where hiring a Michigan pedestrian accident lawyer becomes essential. Whether you’re dealing with disputes over liability, facing a low settlement offer, or struggling to recover from serious injuries, a lawyer can ensure that your legal rights are protected and that you receive fair compensation for your losses.

If you find yourself in any of the scenarios outlined above, don’t hesitate to consult a qualified lawyer specializing in pedestrian accident cases. With their help, you can focus on healing and rebuilding your life while they work tirelessly to secure the compensation you deserve.

Expert Gas Line Repair Services in Manasquan to Keep Your Home Safe

Did you know even a small gas leak can pose significant risks to your home and family’s safety? Gas line maintenance and timely repairs are essential for ensuring not only the efficiency of your household appliances but also the security of your loved ones. For homeowners in Manasquan, NJ—especially those with older homes—this becomes even more critical due to aging or outdated gas systems.

This guide will empower you with essential insights about gas line safety, from recognizing warning signs to understanding how professional Gas line repair services manasquan work.

Why Gas Line Safety is Non-Negotiable

Gas lines are the lifeline of many household appliances, supporting stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers, and heating systems. When functioning correctly, they make our daily routines seamless. However, a faulty gas line is much more than an inconvenience—it’s a hazard.

The Risks of Faulty Gas Lines

Gas Leaks: Even small leaks can lead to severe consequences, including dangerous explosions or fires.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Gas lines can emit this odorless and colorless gas, which, when inhaled, can cause life-threatening health issues.

Physical Property Damage: Left unchecked, gas leaks can damage the infrastructure of your home over time, resulting in costly repairs.

Signs Your Gas Line Needs Repairs

A damaged gas line often shows warning signs—if you know what to look for. Acting quickly when you notice these can save you from costly repairs and dangerous situations.

Strange Smells: The classic “rotten egg” odor is no coincidence. Gas companies add sulfur to natural gas to make leaks easily detectable. If you catch this scent, contact a professional immediately.

Hissing Sounds: Hearing a soft hissing noise near your gas line may indicate a leak. This sound could mean gas is escaping through a break in the line.

Dead Plants or Discolored Grass: Outside the home, leaking gas can kill plants and grass in specific areas. If once-lush patches of your yard suddenly wilt, it could be a sign of an underground leak.

Higher Gas Bills: An unexplained spike in your gas bill could point to a leak, even if there are no other apparent signs.

Appliance Malfunctions: Gas-powered appliances that suddenly stop working efficiently—or fail altogether—could signal an issue with your gas supply.

What to Expect from a Gas Line Repair Process

Understanding the gas line repair process can help you feel more confident and reassured when you call in professionals. Here’s what typically happens:

1. Inspection and Diagnosis: Professionals will use specialized tools, such as advanced leak-detection equipment, to identify the exact location and cause of the issue. This thorough diagnostic process ensures accuracy and safety.

2. Safety Protocols: Before beginning any repairs, technicians will shut off the gas supply to prevent potential hazards. They also ensure the area is ventilated to reduce the risk of gas buildup.

3. Repairs or Replacement: Depending on the problem, technicians might repair small leaks by sealing the damaged section or replacing entire pipe sections if the damage is extensive.

4. Quality Assurance: Once repairs are complete, professionals rigorously test the system to ensure it’s operating safely and efficiently. This often includes pressure testing and double-checking all connections.

Why Professional Gas Line Repairs Are a Must

Gas line repairs in manasquan should always be left to licensed professionals. Here’s why:

Expert Training Professionals are trained to follow strict safety protocols, understand local building codes, and use advanced equipment to get the job done right.

Avoiding Risks Attempting a DIY fix can lead to dangerous outcomes, such as improperly sealed lines or undetected leaks that amplify over time.

Long-Term Cost Efficiency Hiring trained technicians reduces the risk of catastrophic issues, saving you from expensive property damage or medical bills.

Simply put, a professional ensures your home remains safe, compliant with regulations, and free of gas line headaches.

Act Now to Protect Your Home

Gas line safety isn’t something to put off. From preventing leaks to ensuring the efficiency of your home appliances, maintaining your gas lines is essential for your family’s safety and peace of mind.

If you’ve noticed any warning signs or simply want to ensure your system is in top condition, don’t wait. Schedule an inspection with best gas line services in Manasquan today to keep your home safe and efficient.

Your home deserves nothing less than the best care—and that starts with securing your gas line safety today.

Top 5 Reasons to Hire a Pedestrian Accident Attorney in Nashua

Pedestrian accidents are a growing concern in many cities across the United States, and Nashua, New Hampshire, is no exception. Whether caused by distracted drivers, poor road conditions, or driver negligence, pedestrian accidents can result in serious injuries that impact a person’s life physically, emotionally, and financially. If you or a loved one has been involved in a pedestrian accident in Nashua, hiring a qualified pedestrian accident attorney can make a world of difference. Here are the top five reasons why you should hire a pedestrian accident attorney in Nashua:

1. Expert Legal Knowledge and Experience

Navigating the legal system after a pedestrian accident can be overwhelming, especially when you're recovering from injuries. A pedestrian accident attorney specializes in personal injury law, with specific expertise in cases involving pedestrians. They understand the complexities of such cases, including traffic laws, insurance policies, and liability determinations that might be difficult for a layperson to comprehend.

Pedestrian accidents can be tricky in terms of liability. Unlike standard car accidents where fault is often easier to establish, pedestrian accidents can involve multiple parties, including drivers, city municipalities (for poorly maintained sidewalks or roads), and even other pedestrians. An experienced attorney will know how to investigate the circumstances surrounding your accident, gather crucial evidence, and determine who is at fault. This expertise significantly increases the likelihood of achieving a favorable outcome in your case.

2. Maximizing Your Compensation

One of the main goals of hiring a pedestrian accident attorney is to ensure that you receive the maximum compensation for your injuries. Insurance companies, whether it be the driver’s or your own, may attempt to settle quickly with lowball offers that do not cover the full extent of your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Attorneys have the skills to negotiate effectively with insurance companies to ensure that you don’t settle for less than what you deserve.

In some cases, insurance companies may try to pin partial blame on the pedestrian, arguing that you were jaywalking or not following traffic signals. A skilled pedestrian accident lawyer will work to counter these defenses and protect your right to compensation. They will evaluate your medical expenses, future medical care needs, lost income, emotional distress, and other damages to ensure you receive a fair settlement or judgment.

3. Handling All Communication with Insurance Companies

After a pedestrian accident, you will likely have to deal with multiple insurance companies, including the driver’s insurance provider and your own. Insurance companies are known to try to limit the amount of compensation they pay out to accident victims. They may use tactics such as pressuring you to give statements, offering quick but low settlements, or disputing the severity of your injuries.

A pedestrian accident attorney will handle all communication with the insurance companies on your behalf, ensuring that your rights are protected. They will make sure that you do not make statements that could be used against you in the future. By having an attorney in your corner, you can focus on your recovery while knowing that the legal aspects are being handled by someone who understands the ins and outs of personal injury law.

4. Thorough Investigation and Gathering of Evidence

In any personal injury case, gathering evidence is key to proving liability and securing a successful outcome. A pedestrian accident attorney has the resources and tools to conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances of your accident. This may include:

Collecting witness statements

Reviewing traffic camera footage

Analyzing accident reports

Consulting experts such as accident reconstructionists or medical professionals

Gathering medical records and bills

In many cases, important evidence like surveillance footage from nearby businesses or traffic cameras may be time-sensitive and may be erased after a period. A lawyer will act quickly to ensure that no evidence is lost and that everything is documented to build a solid case on your behalf.

5. Peace of Mind During a Difficult Time

The aftermath of a pedestrian accident can be stressful, especially if you’re dealing with serious injuries and medical treatments. Along with the physical pain, there are emotional and financial burdens that can weigh heavily on you and your family. By hiring a pedestrian accident attorney in Nashua, you can take much of the stress off your shoulders.

An attorney will guide you through the legal process from start to finish, ensuring that all deadlines are met and that your case is handled efficiently. This gives you the peace of mind to focus on your recovery without worrying about the details of your legal case. Additionally, many personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning that you don’t have to pay anything upfront. They only collect a fee if they win your case, so there is no financial risk to you.

Conclusion

Pedestrian accidents are life-altering events that can leave victims with serious injuries, expensive medical bills, and emotional trauma. If you or a loved one has been involved in a pedestrian accident in Nashua, hiring an experienced pedestrian accident attorney can make all the difference.

Why You Need a PI Attorney in St. Catharines for Personal Injury Cases

Personal injury law is a critical area of legal practice that protects the rights of individuals who have been harmed by accidents, negligence, or intentional actions. If you or a loved one have been injured in an accident in St. Catharines, it’s essential to consult with a personal injury (PI) attorney to navigate the complexities of these legal claims. PI attorneys specialize in securing compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages resulting from personal injuries.

The Role of a PI Attorney in Personal Injury Cases

A PI attorney is a legal expert trained in helping injured individuals seek justice and fair compensation. Personal injury cases can range from car accidents to slip-and-fall incidents, and a PI attorney plays a pivotal role in the legal process. Their responsibilities include:

Case Evaluation: A personal injury lawyer will assess the facts surrounding your accident or injury. They will review medical records, police reports, and witness testimonies to determine whether you have a valid claim and how much compensation you may be entitled to.

Gathering Evidence: The attorney will help gather crucial evidence to support your case, such as medical records, accident reports, witness statements, and expert testimony. They work to build a compelling case that shows the other party’s negligence or fault.

Negotiating with Insurance Companies: Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. A skilled PI attorney can negotiate on your behalf, ensuring you don’t settle for less than what you deserve.

Filing Legal Claims: If a fair settlement cannot be reached, the PI attorney will file a lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court. They will handle all the legal paperwork and proceedings to ensure your case is heard.

Obtaining Compensation: Your attorney’s primary objective is to secure compensation for your losses. This can include reimbursement for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other damages associated with the injury.
