Sela Ward and Hugh Laurie in House (2004) The Mistake

S2E8

Chaos ensues after Chase's negligence leads to the death of a female patient. Now, after an inquiry from the hospital board, and a subpoena from the patient's brother, it's up to Stacey to protect Chase's career, as well as House's.

*At the beginning of the episode, Kayla's daughters tell her that Sally Ayersman has been teasing them, to which Kayla responds, "If Sally's mean to you again, I'm just gonna have to key her daddy's new convertible." However, later in the episode, House blackmails a surgeon into doing Kayla's liver transplant. The surgeon is a Dr. Ayersman, whose wife, getting an "anonymous" tip about her husband's cheating, decides to key his new convertible. In House's words, "Enough irony for us all."

I love standards organizations.

Standards increase interoperability. They do this primarily, and they treat price, complexity, and niche use cases as secondary concerns. Standards also require enforcement and/or adoption.

Government standards organizations tend to rely on enforcement. Metric or imperial units are maintained and enforced by these organizations, and these orgs tend to have more stringent requirements and focus harder on the primary concern of interoperability.

Non-profit and especially tech standards organizations are the opposite of the spectrum tending to rely on adoption and allowing more room for the secondary concerns. This is why they aren't great standards organizations.

HDMI is a great example of this. HDMI was designed by a collaboration between several companies that then created the HDMI Forum to maintain and develop upon the standard. These companies, and all of their adopters have a vested interest in advertising their cables, TVs, and components as HDMI. This is why there is an HDMI Licensing LLC that collects payment for the use of the standard's license.

To the average user, every HDMI cable is the same. Even the difference between HDMI 1.4 or HDMI 2.1 don't seem meaningful to most people. The connector has the same footprint. It fits in the same ports. It has the logo.

In actuality HDMI is one of the most fractured and poorly maintained standards in the industry. Each cable you say may have entirely different feature sets that all technically fall into spec with the standard. Some carry Ethernet over HDMI, some have limited display or audio features down to the bare minimum, and many other variations. If you need one of these feature sets, finding the correct cable can be a nightmare because they all present themselves as HDMI and no less. Many cables boast about their additional features. Many fail to mention they barely meet the spec. Port components are even worse.

All of this is for the sake of advertising. The standard allows for a lot of leeway because the original producers wanted that space to differentiate their products despite nominally using a standard.

This makes the standard less useful as a standard but great as a branding tool. Communicating that you'll be able to make a connection regardless of the fact that that connection might not be between fully compatible devices/cables is a useful tool to appealing to a broad audience. Saying your product is this standard plus all of these extra non standard features is a good way to catch eyes. All of this makes HDMI a highly effective logo on a box but a less effective standard.

"Now Ally, why did you just ramble about tech standards? It's June. Go touch some grass. Hold a boob."

Well you see I've done that and I've held those and this is actually related to pride month. Queer identities are very much like tech standards, only there is no standards organization enforcing what sexuality or gender you get to slap on your box (not a euphemism although I guess you could make it one if you'd like). That said, queer identities function a lot like HDMI. They make for good ways to signal to others that you can make a general connection but they don't guarantee full compatibility. They have other things past the spec tacked onto them for various reasons. They're not perfect as standards because they aren't really standards at all. They just appear to be to folks who are new.

And I want to emphasize that this is fine. This is a feature.

Earlier I mentioned Ethernet over HDMI as a feature set on some cables and ports (it wasn't a standard but I think the forum has created a standard for it since). Ethernet is its own related but different standard that has been tacked on here for a reason that makes sense for the manufacturer and possibly the user. It could not matter for the end user. It could introduce some confusion as a less experienced user tries to understand how that makes sense.

Now imagine you are a baby queer who's only really been exposed to the L G B and T as separate "standards" (thank you for bearing with this ridiculous metaphor). Now someone with a compound or complex identity like say bi lesbian would appear as to be "breaking" the spec. Really they are just Ethernet over HDMI. They're just an extension to the standard and in a similar way to those tech companies they're trying to convey that a connection can be made but they're capable of more.

And that's fine. It's good that we're not so rigid. To have perfectly defined and rigid standards like weights and measures would be suffocating. Let people be weird with it. To folks with complex identities, have a little patience for the folks just trying understand exactly how you work cause well you're not the standard. It's gonna take a sec to get to know you and understand your intricacies.

We're not just cables and ports (I mean some of us are shout out to my fellow robot girls). We're people who are just trying to understand things, connect, and get through it. Be patient with each other whether you've been around a while and have things figured out or if you're new. We're all just trying to find what fits and does what we need.

Key to the ability to keep the heid especially in tourism and customer service especially this month is knowing that 1. For every customer calling me names or insulting my colleagues or being condescending there are a dozen shaking my hand and thanking us for being helpful and fun to talk to and being delighted to have had a fun holiday cause of what we do and 2. The more sneery or obnoxious a complaint the funnier it is to all of us once we close the bar and share a post-shift pint and chat

theres a hypothetical instance of asylumstuck being written well and not incredibly offensive and yet every single time i see some old asylumstuck posts i am blown away by how they manage to get literally every depiction of mental illness incorrect. its like they googled the symptoms and then deliberately wrote against the reality of those illnesses. its like they googled awful stereotypes about mentally ill (mostly psychotic or suicidal people) and made it their personal project to include as many as they could

How Does a Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Work?

We all have heard that term – medical malpractice, but none of us can be closer to what it really is. It’s difficult not to believe that doctors, nurses, and other proficient medical professionals never make mistakes. Still, we are living in reality, and this is far from being a fact. Medical malpractice lawsuits exist so that victims of medical malpractice can get justice. But how do these…

Police in the Turkish city of Adana detained 11 suspects, five Israeli and two Syrian, on allegations of organ trafficking, the Daily Sabah reported on 5 May. The Provincial Directorate of Security's Anti-Smuggling and Border Gates Branch began investigating after examining the passports of seven individuals who arrived in Adana from Israel about a month ago by plane for the purpose of health tourism. The two Syrian nationals, ages 20 and 21, were found to have fake passports. Further investigation revealed that Syrian nationals had each agreed to sell one of their own kidneys to two of the Israeli nationals, ages 68 and 28, for kidney transplants in Adana. During searches at the suspects' residences, $65,000 and numerous fake passports were seized. Israel has long been at the center of what Bloomberg described in 2011 as a “sprawling global black market in organs where brokers use deception, violence, and coercion to buy kidneys from impoverished people, mainly in underdeveloped countries, and then sell them to critically ill patients in more-affluent nations.” The financial newspaper added, “Many of the black-market kidneys harvested by these gangs are destined for people who live in Israel.” The organ-trafficking network extends from former Soviet Republics such as Azerbaijan, Belarus, Ukraine, and Moldova to Brazil, the Philippines, South Africa, and beyond, the Bloomberg investigation showed. Accusations of Israeli involvement in organ trafficking also apply to the occupied Palestinian territories. In 2009, Sweden's largest daily newspaper, Aftonbladet, reported testimony that the Israeli army was kidnapping and murdering Palestinians to harvest their organs. The report quotes Palestinian claims that young men from the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip had been seized by the Israeli army, and their bodies returned to the families with missing organs. "'Our sons are used as involuntary organ donors,' relatives of Khaled from Nablus said to me, as did the mother of Raed from Jenin as well as the uncles of Machmod and Nafes from Gaza, who all had disappeared for a few days and returned by night, dead and autopsied," wrote Donald Bostrom, the author of the report.Bostrom also cites an incident of alleged organ theft during the the first Palestinian intifada in 1992. He says that the Israeli army abducted a young man known for throwing stones at Israeli troops in the Nablus area. The young man was shot in the chest, both legs, and the stomach before being taken to a military helicopter, which transported him to an unknown location. Five nights later, Bostrom said, the young man's body was returned, wrapped in green hospital sheets. Israel’s Channel 2 TV reported that in the 1990s, specialists at Abu Kabir Forensic Medicine Institute harvested skin, corneas, heart valves, and bones from the bodies of Israeli soldiers, Israeli citizens, Palestinians, and foreign workers without permission from relatives. The Israeli military confirmed that the practice took place, but claimed, "This activity ended a decade ago and does not happen any longer." Israel’s assault on Gaza since 7 October has provided further opportunities for the theft and harvesting of Palestinians’ organs. On 30 January, WAFA news agency reported that the Israeli army returned the bodies of 100 Palestinian civilians it had stolen from hospitals and cemeteries in various areas in Gaza. According to medical sources, inspection of some of the bodies showed that organs were missing from some of them. On 18 January, the Times of Israel reported that the Israeli army confirmed reports that its soldiers dug up graves in a Gaza cemetery, claiming its soldiers were trying to “confirm that the bodies of hostages were not buried there.”
