You call an ambulance, or it was called for you, and you refuse because of this? You should be grateful you lived long enough for the ambulance to reach you in time. Just be grateful and get your rump in their vehicle.

In a throne speech marking the start of the B.C. legislative session last week, the government promised it would look to attract U.S. health-care professionals to help fill staffing gaps. As part of that, it also promised to make it easier for trained health-care workers from other countries to get their credentials recognized. It comes as U.S. President Donald Trump makes changes to the American health-care system and as political tension rises south of the border. It's a set of circumstances that's causing U.S. health-care professionals to look abroad for work, says a Canada-based recruiter.

I’d yet to hear that not one person from January 6th was not charged with terrorism, and now seeing that in comparison to how Luigi Mangione is being charged with terrorism, WILD. I had to double check for myself, https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/proud-boys-leaders-sentenced-prison-roles-jan-6-capitol-breach US DOJ website confirms that the charges against the 1106 people arrested were charged with assault, impeding law enforcement, and specifically listed that Ethan Nordean, Dominic Pezzola, and 3 others (names not listed) were additionally charged with “obstruction of an official proceeding and conspiracy to prevent members of Congress or federal officers from discharging their duties.” But not one terrorism charge.

I looked at a few more articles and the reason the DOJ gave the press for why they weren’t pressing for terrorism is because ���The terrorism-related language now includes federal criminal offenses ‘calculated to influence or affect the conduct of government by intimidation or coercion, or to retaliate against government conduct.’” (Quote from “Why DOJ is avoiding domestic terrorism sentences for Jan. 6 defendants” by Politico)

IF DOMESTIC TERRORISM IS DEFINED BY OUR GOVERMENT AS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE TO AFFECT THE CONDUCT OF GOVERNMENT BY INTIMIDATION OR COERCION THAN HOW THE FUCK CAN THE SAME GOVERNMENT JUSTIFY CHARGING LUIGI MANGIONE WITH TERRORISM.

The UHC shooter simply shot one ceo of a PRIVATE health insurance company. If our government is so in bed with private insurance that when one person gets shot it affects the conduct of government by intimidation than we have a PROBLEM. The government should be wholly separate from private insurance, there should be no intimidation or coercion detected against the government.

Health info matters

RFK Jr as Secretary of Health and Human Services will likely have a disastrous effect on public health in the US and beyond—which makes health data transparency even more urgent.

I’ve completed a list of health data websites from all 50 states and Puerto Rico. Where possible, I’ve included large cities as well. I’ve focused on (a) health data access (b) respiratory disease statistics and (c) avian flu information.

This is not my beat—I usually write about religion and culture—but if you have questions, I’ll do my best to answer them. The list is here.

I almost never post anything (chronic reblogger) but I'm an RN who's been watching the Pitt (Very good, both in the storytelling and with the medical accuracy...aside from medications they push only take 3 secs max to kick in, and how quickly testing comes back. God, I wish...) and there has yet to be an episode that missed for me, finally a show that realizes that we don't need complex interpersonal drama (Grey's) or extreme sport medicine (911) in our medical dramas. That if handled with care and grace stories with realistic struggles of both the patients and healthcare staff in an ER can be engaging enough on their own (even if all of these specific cases in a 12h period should constitute for hazard pay). And the way this last one ended. God. In a month where there has been an increase in media coverage of violence on healthcare workers.... Dana the charge nurse taking a hit from the patient who had been waiting for care all day- it felt like a gut-punch.

But the thing that made me the saddest? that my second thought after "No, not Dana!" was: if it was realistic he would have taken more than one good punch. (And the third thought was the stupid son of a bitch left the AMA paperwork with her, so even if she has a concussion/memory issues and there's not camera footage, that shift has his name printed on it even if he didn't sign it.)

With the recent heartbreaking cases (shooting in a hospital ICU in Pennsylvania and in Florida there was a nurse who was severely beaten by a patient, and those are just the most publicized, and both happened this month) and the fact that we have had these things happen repeatedly in recent years all over the country with no change in security... I just watched Dana on the ground and thought "she was lucky"

God I hate that.

Proud of her.

It's paid for by the public, but not willingly. Henceforth, taxation is extortion.
