OC asks: All even for Zuo, All odds for Iza please.

OC asksZuo: EvensIza: Odds

1. Iza’s favorite color is blue! It’s one of the few colors he can see without assistance.2. Zuo collects small charms. From the simplest looking heart-shaped charm to a complex multi-scale charm.3. I don’t believe Iza is allergic to anything other than stupidity.

4. Zuo wears the simple things, such a boring grey clothing to dark shades of red and light blues. Normally he sports a rather nice suit, of course it’s mainly so Iza can spot him quite easily and leave before Zuo gets aggressive towards him.5. His first memory is that of his first master! Mainly the good parts before things had gone south. Those memories, Iza willingly blocks out still having a bubble-gum picture of his first master, thinking that he could do no harm to him, when really his first master had set Iza up to become an obedient pleasure pet when he was young (perhaps around the age of 7 to 14).6. Zuo’s favorite animal is rabbits. He finds them to be cute, and he wouldn’t harm them at all. I believe he wants a pet rabbit! The animal he likes the least is fish. He doesn’t like anything that is slimy and gross.7. I believe Iza would be air! He can be quite flighty and finicky depending on the situation his secondary element would be water. Underneath his rather aloof or even cold-hearted facade is quite an emotional guy. (He cries a lot I can’t lie.)8. This is a tough one! I haven’t exactly found any songs for Zuo but I think Leo - Xan Griffin (feat. NÉONHÈART) fits him well! 9. Iza and an alt of Izaya Orihara, specifically his neko!version that I haven’t exactly seen anyone use? I remember seeing a few. His voice claim…ah…i don’t have one honestly he doesn’t sound like Izaya, his voice is more… kind of a higher pitch but he doesn’t sound feminine.It’ hard to explain without a voiceclaim, I think I’ll find one for him one day lol10. I suppose he would be wrath. Sometimes he does lose his temper a little too quickly, especially if he saw something immoral. He’s quite hot-headed sometimes for sure but he calms down quickly.11. Oh god. Iza and his hobbies. He has quite a few. A few of his hobbies is ‘scouting out’ potential targets. Even though he doesn’t commit the murder himself he has this tendency in getting to know the person before offing them. Another hobby of his observing people in order to study body language. He is quite good at reading body language already but he loves to learn more. Then..his darker hobbies. They consist of well, torture hahaha. He keeps that hobby hidden!12. Zuo tries very hard to be patient, like very hard. Sometimes he simply can not handle the day and lashes out, letting it be known that he should be left alone. Although, he is usually outside, finding the outdoors to be much better than being inside. He enjoys being outside because he can let off steam if he got angry, usually resorting to punching an inanimate object, like walls or poor trees. Zuo has his good days and bad days, on a good day he is very calm and doesn’t resort to fighting, of course, on a bad day there is a lot of fighting for the road warrior.13. Iza is a male, he is homosexual, his race is Japanese/German(I was actually thinking about his dad and I concluded his dad is probably German lmao), He is a neko (Nekomimi?) His cat breed is Burmese! His occupation is an infobroker, with a side business dealing with hitmen/women and/or assassins14. Zuo loves savory things and things with sauce. If you can make that steak with a sauce or make it taste great he would love it. The food he likes the least is anything sweet, since he can not taste sweet things :( Whenever he gets a sweet he attempts to eat it at some point but often he finds it to be bland and tasteless, resulting in the food to be thrown away. I think he can still have ice cream but only certain flavors!15. Knowing Iza, he would probably want an exotic animal. Nothing small either because he may end up eating it. I think he would want a wolf-dog or a Savanna cat! 16. Zuo smells weird in my opinion? He has catnip cigarettes so I’m not sure if he would smell like smoke or mint, but I like to think he smells like mint, with a few hints of grass and iron, maybe something akin to being sweet? But I don’t think he can smell the sweetness.17. The way Iza makes a living is quite simple, he sells information to people who are willing to pay for it. He makes additional money with his side business. The job he wouldn’t want is something where he has to work hard, like a laborer. His dream job is to be an artist or a chef! Current he is quite content with his information selling job.18. Zuo’s greatest fear is to be scorned and abandoned, especially by his mother. His mother is his source of praise and confidence. If he didn’t have his mother I think he would be more reclusive and to himself. He is very afraid of losing his lover or hurting them on accident even. Zuo doesn’t think of himself as a monster, even if he has a lot of strength (though not as much as Shizuo) but his mother had put it in him since he has been young that his strength should be used to help people and to protect people, and of course, being the mommy’s boy, Zuo listened to his mother taking it to an extreme that everything much be in a particular order and that he should be praised for helping. This extreme gone so far as to have Zuo bring his morals into it, knowing that “This is right” and “This is wrong.” and should he ever find out that someone was even the littlest bit of evil he would want to correct it, to get rid of the evil, of course putting Iza in this equation does not help at all as Iza is neutral evil or the purest form of evil (even if his alignment can change in the moment, Iza is at the core neutral evil.) a clear weakness as I explained his morals is well, his stubbornness and self-righteousness. A strength of his is being a natural protector, coming to the aid of most people!19. Iza’s music genera is quite large, from pop to rock to anime openings to dubstep, all of it. There are even some country songs he likes. Though, most songs he tends to fall in love with, are indeed love songs. His favorite song changes all the time but he always come back to this song: Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen (lyrics) and The Vincent Black Shadow - El Monstruo20. Zuo is already in our world. I don’t think this one can be used D: Ahhh…but I mean if he was in the real world he would probably be angry all the time if he watched the news lol21. Iza has a ton of personal issues! Perhaps too many to even say, but at the base of it all, this poor cat needs therapy and probably medication for his PTSD and hallucinations. He has lived through so much I honestly don’t know how he is alive. I believe he is undiagonsed for anxiety, depression and ptsd. There might even be a bit of split personality as well? But it’s very hard for me to say since I don’t know much about split personalities ^^; A few of his pet peeves are being touched without knowing, he gets scared when someone wants to touch his ears without warning since a few people had been too rough with his ears. Don’t try to touch his tail, because he will probably stab you without hesitation. He is hypocritical and finds it to be annoying when someone is being rude to him when he was rude to them lol. He is quite petty over the little things.22. Zuo was that kind of student who didn’t want to work hard but liked to do sports, so of course he had to do well in his classes or else he wouldn’t be able to play in the games, because of that condition he ended up working hard than he needed too. If I were to stereotype Zuo in high school he would probably be that jock that defended the other kids from bullies because he couldn’t tolerate them.23. Unlike Zuo, Iza can taste sweet things! He doesn’t indulge in anything sweet besides strawberry milk! (Zuo and Iza can’t have chocolate unless they want to get sick/poisoned. They can have a tiny amount but that’s about it.)24. Zuo’s outlook on life is quite black and white. He thinks everything can fit into a certain box. If it doesn’t fit he puts it in to a “Well, I guess that’s alright depending.” Box? He is very optimistic about life and thinks for the best. His philosophy is: “If it fits. It sits.” What a very cat-like philosophy honestly, but for him it’s to justify if it’s worth it? Like that one quote “If the shoe fits, it’s yours” or something like that LOL. Zuo thinks life is interesting, probably fun for him since he loves to be outside to experience everything!25. OH MAN. So. Honestly, Iza was created on a whim! It was a stroke of quick inspiration from falling in love with Neko!Izaya. The way I first had Iza was he was a stray cat that caused trouble for seemingly no reason? He had no motive or particular reason why he would cause trouble other than to…cause trouble. I don’t think Iza is a fancharacter? Well he might be considered as such actually. His personality is very complex. At first, he started out as a mix of both Roppi and Izaya? But after a few tweaks he turned out to be quite different from how he originally was. Iza is very intelligent and thinks before he speaks, of course he has moments of impulse where he does or says something without thinking. He is quite charming and often when first interacting with people he plays very friendly, more so to come off as non-threatening to underhandedly get things he wants. For example, if he wanted to get petted, he would intentionally act more cat-like, such a purr and meow to get people to pet him. When he meows, his meows mean different things. The more he meows the more he is trying to come off as “I’m not a smart person, I can meow and say a few words, please take care of me.” the less he meows the more he is “I’m far more superior to you or anyone else in this room. If you think you are better than me you better prove it.” It’s very complex honestly. Sometimes he mixes the two just right. He can be very compromising and very selfish. Iza is honestly a ball of contradictions because he is always at a constant stand off with himself mentally and emotionally. I could explain so much more but I think his Bio explains it pretty good!26. Zuo’s mother, Aiko, of course! She is literally all Zuo has left of what could be called his family. He doesn’t know his father. Honestly, I think Iza is the least important person to Zuo? Of course, Iza is still a great influence of Zuo, since who else is suppose to stop Iza’s evil plans of taking over the world? 27. As a child, Iza was taken care of very well? Despite the fact that he was sold for profit he was placed in good hands that was his first master who let Iza act as a cat for practically all of his childhood. His first master did take very good care of Iza, until his company was bought out and he was losing everything. He didn’t want to get rid of Iza, since Iza was basically all he had when his wife divorced him, but the person who bought the company, Iza’s soon to be second master blackmailed Iza’s first master and was basically forced to give Iza up after he had completed what Iza’s second master had demanded: Turn Iza into a sex pet. Of course, Iza’s first master didn’t want to do this at all, but left with no choice and being black mailed, he did just that. Once Iza was 13-14 he handed Iza over, which basically had broken Iza’s fragile heart and was then chained to a bed until he had gotten free of his 2nd masters old. Truthfully, I don’t know how Iza got away, but I suspect that his second master’s home had gotten raided and the people took Iza with them only to sell him off again, since for what Iza is, he is an expensive cat being that he is pure black with red eyes.28. Zuo is quite confident, I don’t believe he has any nervous habits? Nor does he stim, but for addictions, he is very addicted to his catnip cigarettes as they help calm him down when he is going to explode from rage.29. So, I actually had to think about this. He could have a few eiptaphs. One could be “He died doing what he loved: Testing gravity to the limits.” because honestly that can imply that he died because he threw himself off a building to see if gravity would work and forgot to save himself lmao but that’s dark or the opposite where he was just known to knocking things off tables to test if gravity was working. One phrase he might have is “"I’ll be there when you don’t know what you should do. If you heart breaks I’ll be there to fit it too.“” because he is terrible and something about saying he would be there to fix it too even when he is gone would probably leave this weird complicated feeling. Another one would have to be “"Sometimes you have to accept the fact that there are things that will never go back to how they used to be.““ He’s the kind of guy who doesn’t want anyone to be sad if he is gone? Because even he doesn’t want to be in this world anymore sometimes lol.30. Truthfully, I believe Zuo would definitely want to get married but his issues is he would lose himself in other people? Especially when he puts too much trust and himself in other people. I think Zuo wants kids as well lol, if I wanted to stay with the whole ‘Zuo and Iza are equal and opposite reactions to each other.’ Zuo wouldn’t want kids, but I mean honestly, he would probably want his legacy to live on. He doesn't have any kids.31. Iza’s most traumatic memory is when his second master had caught him, dragged him to the basement and chained him chest forward against the wall and gave him a few lashes with a whip. He has nightmares of the exact moment and sometimes he even hallucinates that he is back there again, feeling an intense pain on his back. Though, on the contrary, his most beloved memory is in high school, when he met Sinzuo! Of course, Sinzuo didn’t like Iza at all? And they would fight but that memory is very important to Iza because it’s probably the first time he ever got to control his actions in making someone angry with him or happy with him. That memory helped shaped Iza to be how he is today!32. The one thing Zuo wants in the world is for peace as well as all evil to be gone? He doesn’t like the idea of evil or immoral things, but well, he has to learn one day that he can’t eradicate all evil and I think he will learn that lesson soon.33. You are talking about Iza here. He kills for a living LOL, but would he do it personally? Of course he would. There are many reasons why he would do it personally: To show that he has the capability to catch and kill someone(this would happen because of his feline instincts, and he does hunt small critters but sometimes he gets bold and goes big or goes home), For his own self-worth (I know that he wants to kill Izaya? Because he hates to be compared or even mistaken for Izaya), Then, out of sheer pettiness. He is quite spiteful and vengeful but it isn’t a common occurrence, it happens usually when the person becomes an inconvenience and Iza doesn’t need them anymore and they ruined a project of his (Project as in a job).34. It’s tough to say for Zuo, since he doesn’t exactly fit into a group? I suppose one group he would fit in is with other vigilantes? Zuo likes to play the role of leader. It depends, but I think his actual role would be that of a leader, though if there already is a leader his secondary role would be that of a sub-leader? Kind of like a manager, I guess. 35. Iza is very imaginative! It depends on if he interacted with people, but if he didn’t he can be lost in day dreams, thinking of things that are probably unspeakable. If he triggers himself he will suffer from anxiety and hallucinate. Sometimes he gets nostalgic and starts to remember pleasant memories, something that’s all he thinks about if he isn’t doing anything to keep himself occupied. Though, if he is alone for too long he will start to revert back into his “cat-mind set” where he is just a cat.36. I think the thing Zuo wants the most in the world is someone he can call his own. A lover or a soulmate. He has a strong need to be with someone he loves because he needs to be praised and loved. Zuo would do just about anything to have someone of his own. Probably sink as low as to kill for it if he really had too. 37. Hmm… I think there is a lot of things Iza does that most people don’t normally do? Just, I don’t know what is normal for people to do? I mean, I guess something Iza does that normal people don’t do is dance on a stripper pole to increase his dexterity and leg strength? Of course, there is also the fact that he meows and purrs a lot that normal people don’t do either lol38. I don’t think Zuo would know what to do with a million dollars other than go out and indulge on his favorite things to do such as: buy his mother an expensive gift, go and buy things for himself, like a new computer, clothes, maybe go to the bar and buy a few drinks and maybe even go to a club. 39. Currently in Iza’s fridge: Strawberry milk, eggs, fruits, bottled water, tea (that isn’t catnip tea the kind that you can buy at the store lol), left over sushi from last night, a few snacks(ham slices, turkey slices, imitation crab and lobster). On his bedroom floor: Cat toys, shoes. On his nightstand: bottled water, his cup that he uses for his catnip tea, an unopened condom because he doesn’t care if anyone sees it, his phone charger. In his trash can: Old fruit, old sushi, broken cups and plates. 40. For a night out, Zuo would be going out if he was asked or if he smelled Iza in the area. Depending on what it is, if he was asked to go out he would wear nice casual clothing, perhaps border-line business casual. If it’s because Iza is out he would wear his normal clothes when he goes to fight Iza. 41. When Iza is angry, he get’s hissy or even passive-aggressive. He would hiss or growl at people, though if he was provoked to the point of no return, he would physically hurt someone, whether by scratching or stabbing. It’s not often that Iza gets angry but he would get hissy/growl because he is giving a warning. When he gets passive-aggressive it’s because he knows he can’t fight the person. The reason he would scratch or stab someone depends, but you shouldn’t drag his close friends into a situation. He’s rather protective of his friends.42. Zuo has a scar on the left side of his chest. He got it from Iza when he had Iza cornered and well Iza felt trapped and lashed out, a normal reaction from him honestly. Some of his scars came from something dumb he did, like he jumped in without thinking. Such as the scar on his ear, he got slashed by a robber who stolen a woman’s purse and he had to get it back for her. Another scar on his leg. He got shot when he was trying to stop a criminal who was running away from him after they had tried to rob him.43. Okay, so, there is a lot of offensive things Iza has said? I know there was a time he called men “dogs” because all they wanted was sex, but now here he is always wanting sex lol, then he called women something horrible? I think he said to a woman that she is perhaps the most disgusting human being on the face of he earth and that was him being generous.44. Depending on how he is criticized Zuo takes it pretty well, of course if it’s harsh he would get upset, but if it’s constructive he would take it in stride and consideration for next time. If he got upset, he probably would feel discouraged from attempting it again if it’s harsh criticism. 45. Iza likes fruit so he would eat it? But if it’s someone he doesn’t like well, they die then and there LOL. The way he would eat it is to eat the pineapples first and then the pizza itself? I mean, he basically would of made it a cheese pizza, but the thing is I don’t think he even likes pizza all that much because the cheese would make him nauseous So, I guess it depends on if he is in the mood to save someone from certain death. 46. Zuo wouldn’t believe it if it was an actual voodoo doll, and would probably keep it because well, someone gave him a gift so he would think that is was probably a lot of hard work for them to make such a thing, but he would definitely test it out by seeing if he can give himself a back rub lol47. Iza sure can draw! He loves to draw, and I think he draws a lot of metaphorical things? Example would be like, drawing the symbol of being alone? Or what happiness is to him or something like that. He doodles a lot of cats lol48. I explained it in an earlier question but Zuo doesn’t know his father. His mother plays an important role in his life giving Zuo confidence and and self-esteem to accomplish his goals. Without her Zuo would definitely be more towards himself, perhaps expressive in love but he wouldn’t be that way in public or towards anyone else that isn’t his lover. Most times he already appears aloof or eccentric, but that would become even more true if he didn’t have the positive influence of his mother.49. Iza doesn’t get sugar rushes, if anything he doesn’t exactly like sweets all that much but he will eat it and chime in happiness about how good the sweets are because someone probably bought it for him and he likes getting free stuff.50. If Zuo was presented with an unavoidable death, I think he would give his things away and make his days count for sure. He wouldn’t be too terribly surprised if his unavoidable death was shown to him because he knows that eventually every body dies and he isn’t exempt from that. If anything, I think he would turn to buddism for his last few days to become enlightened and hope to be reincarnated again since he does believe in that.

Steps Health Care Provider Should Take After Being Attacked

• Try to escape – If you can’t escape, yell loud enough to get help. • Create a barrier – Put something between that person assaulting you and yourself so you might be able to escape. • Defend yourself – You can defend yourself. You are allowed to meet the attacker with equal force to get them to stop. Some people don’t know that. • Report the incident – Notify your facility of the assault. • Take a leave of absence – Many people will be nervous to go back to work after an incident. If you are struggling emotionally about the trauma, people need to begin to realize that trauma and anxiety are legitimate reasons to get a leave of absence. Don’t rush back to work if you aren’t ready. • Get support and seek help – Surround yourself with people that you trust. Consider getting trauma counseling.

How Help End Violence Against Healthcare Workers

The legislature proposed the following, • Assault against any healthcare workers must be a felony. • No less than two law enforcement officers must be present with offenders. • Facilities must provide locator badges with panic buttons for victims to signal for help. • There must be anti-retaliation protections in place so healthcare workers may receive the same basic rights as any other assault victim – the right to report to law enforcement.

How to Prevent Workplace Violence

With violence in society a growing problem, the importance of taking measures to prevent workplace violence has become increasingly urgent to businesses that want to protect the safety of their employees. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, between the years of 2011 and 2018, a total of 5,746 injuries resulting from workplace violence were reported. Of these, 3,584 were workplace homicides and 2,825 of these homicides were the result of a shooting by another person. While violence is one of the major causes of death in the workplace, nonfatal cases are more common. Overall, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration estimates there are about 2 million cases of workplace violence a year. The surprisingly high number of incidents varies between verbal and physical abuse to homicides. It is also estimated that about 25 percent of workplace violence goes unreported. These statistics are a strong reminder that violence in the workplace is more common than we might think, but workplaces can take specific measures to prevent and lessen the impact of violence. When you know how to prevent workplace violence, you can be part of the solution and make your company a safer place for all employees. • Workplace violence prevention begins with hiring. Conducting a thorough background check on potential employees (after they access a job offer) can reveal whether the candidate has a violent past. If something comes up, ask for an explanation and make sure it’s consistent with the report. They that have a recent violence conviction, you may decide to retract the job offer to avoid that kind of behavior in your workplace. • Create a policy that prevents harassment. Harassment is repeated persecution, bullying and/or troubling behavior that intimidates others. It creates an offensive work environment and the behavior often serves as a warning for violence. That’s why creating a policy to prevent harassment is a crucial step in preventing the possibility of violence. This policy should include a set of procedures that addresses any workplace complaints efficiently and privately. While creating this policy, it’s important to involve each level of the facility, including managers, employees, and executives. Keep all individuals informed by distributing the new policy across your organization and take the time to ensure every employee understands it. • Create an effective line of communication. Effective communication is a key factor in preventing workplace violence. If your employees have access to a workplace communication network, it can help them understand, recognize and report the early signs of potential violence, rather than passively sweeping them under the rug in favor of getting back to work. Giving them access to conflict-resolution resources makes them feel more responsible to communicate. Also, providing an open line of communication to management, HR and other key members of your company will help create an environment where employees can make sure their grievances are heard and properly responded to.

• Training and awareness are key factors in workplace violence prevention. Take the time to have training sessions about how to respond to a violent incident so your staff knows how to react when it occurs. • Establish a strict anti-violence policy. Prevent workplace violence by creating firm policies that empower your team to report violent and harassing behaviors and other signs of danger. This kind of policy eliminates undesirable employee behavior and leaves no room for favoritism managers must apply swift and consistent punishment no matter who violates the policy. Make sure all employees are aware of the consequences for violating the policy. • Encourage your employees to accept individual differences. Personality clashes or leadership style differences exist in every workplace. If left unresolved, these issues could result in job dissatisfaction or depression, and even violence (in the form of verbal abuse, sabotage, or worse). Persistent issues result in high turnover and culture problems or your organization. Help negate conflict by organizing activities to help the tea get to know each other, and acknowledging differences as positive attributes. This could help people see that their individual differences play a vital role in the team’s strengths as a whole. • Manage visitors and provide security monitoring. Monitoring visitors and managing them when possible is a smart way to prevent violence in the workplace. Whether security guards are patrolling your facility/parking lot, capturing video surveillance, or overseeing a visitor check-in desk, these are all extra layers of security that can deter someone from performing a violent incident. This is especially important in situations where people work alone or in confined spaces, or provides services involving money or alcohol. Also consider providing after hours escorts for workers in parking lots who become easier targets when alone. • Encourage everyone to report any and all violent incidents. A great way to start preventing workplace violence is to establish trust between you and your employees. Ensure your employees of the confidentiality in which they can report incidents, and assure each of them that no retaliation will be made against anyone reporting acts of violence. • Deter robbers with limited assets on hand. Workplace violence often occurs in conjunction with crimes like robbery and shoplifting. In fact, 85 percent of workplace homicides fall into this category where the criminal has no known relation to the business or its employees. You can reduce the risk of robbery and potential violence by keeping the amount of assets at your facility to a minimum. Use electronic pay systems to reduce cash on hand and install a locked drop safe. It may also help to keep your facility well lit and ask law enforcement officers to visit occasionally. Always be alert and pay attention to customers acting strangely. • Identify organizational risk factors that could lead to violence. What areas or concerns in your organization are potential risk factors that could lead to workplace violence? When combined with the stress of a personal situation employees bring to work, they may become aggressive and lash out. Assess your operation to become aware of these factors like working while understaffed, inadequate security, the perception that violence is tolerated or that victims are unable to properly report incidents, and many others. • After an incident or near miss, perform a thorough analysis. In the event that your workplace does experience a violent situation or is able to prevent one from occurring, follow up with an analysis. Who was affected and what, if any, warning signs were present? Were existing procedures and operations followed and if not, why? Were team members adequately trained? What new procedures and operations would help to improve staff safety and security? Answering these questions can help you modify your existing plans and ensure your business is able to effectively prevent workplace violence.

There are some instances where the hospital, facility or even a patient will harm a nurse for one reason or another to include policies, accidents and intentional harm. In these circumstances, the nurse often needs to know how to move forward, what to do to seek recovery options and which choices are possible in the legal world. Nurses and nursing staff work in one of the most dangerous industries in the country. No matter what day they work, there are many hazards both at work and when treating patients that each nurse must confront. These can range from patients that have an imbalance or impairment to the sharp objects that can quickly and easily cut the skin. If equipment or tools slip and fall, they can slice open the nurse immediately. These dangers are everywhere in a hospital, and clinics equally have the same dangers. If working for a private practice, nurses still run into the same types of risks. A personal injury case is possible for anyone that suffers bodily harm at the hands of another person or company that is responsible for the damage. This then progresses to a lawsuit when the plaintiff requires compensation for recovery. The other party’s negligence is then an issue that the victim will need to prove to the judge or jury panel. Evidence and a legal argument presented will help to prove or disprove the claim. Generally, there are numerous rules that apply to these claims and can prevent a nurse from litigation against his or her employer.

youtube

Negligence and the Hospital

There are elements of a negligence case. For a nurse to sue a hospital, he or she will need to prove that the facility owes a duty of care to the nurse. This exists in the professional guidelines and conduct along with the employment agreement to the organization. The duty of care is what should prevent the facility from letting dangers go unnoticed or from keeping criminals contained. The nurse can sue the hospital for negligence when there is a breach of the duty of care. The other elements must also exist along with a detailed explanation from the legal team.

The Elements of the Negligent Claim

With the duty of care comes a breach. This occurs when the facility knows of danger but does nothing to remove it. Injuries that happen through negligence often lead to lawsuits where the victim can pursue compensation for a full recovery. With the breach, the plaintiff must explain the causation between the breach and any injury sustained. The injury must become significant to seek compensation through litigation. With the services of a lawyer, the nurse can detail the injury, incident and how the hospital or other party is responsible for damages.

Who to Sue

Based on the evidence of either negligence or a breach of the duty of care, the nurse may have one or more individuals or entities to sue. For a patient that attacks and injures the nurse, he or she can sue the patient and either obtain awards through insurance or by a direct attack on the person. However, the facility that has protections in place may not ensure the prevention of such incidents. This could lead to a lawsuit against the hospital or clinic. Then, the nurse will need a greater strength of evidence to pursue the claim legally in the courts.

Evidence and the Lawyer’s Help

By proving the elements of negligence, the nurse or Health worker can effectively sue the patient or hospital that employs him or her. This requires evidence. It is possible to acquire video surveillance captures of the accident or intentional damage. With witness statements, the video and a strong claim, the nurse can provide the courtroom with all necessary and relevant details and proof. With a lack of safety protocols in place, the hospital or clinic could face liability and owing damages to the nurse. The monetary compensation is necessary for recovery and to ensure the nurse can become whole after the injury.

Misdiagnosis

Almost hand in hand with delayed care is another one of the most common causes – misdiagnosis. When a patient is misdiagnosed it can be months before they receive the proper diagnosis and the proper treatment to go with it. Treatment for a misdiagnosed illness can actually hinder recovery, causing more problems than there were to start with. There have been thousands of cases of misdiagnosis, in which the doctor or medical staff have failed to notice a serious disease, such as cancer, before it is too late. Misdiagnosis is not always life threatening, but it can have a big impact on the patient’s mental and physical well-being. Misdiagnosed fractures and infections are becoming increasingly common. Doctors are squeezed for time and will routinely miss things. Fortunately, it is rare that it causes a patient undue suffering.

Medication Errors

On the list of ‘never event’ mistakes (errors which should never happen) and also on the list of most common causes is medication errors. Whether it be that a patient has been prescribed too much of a medication or the wrong medication altogether; the effects of these errors can be devastating. There have been cases in the last year in which patients have had their painkiller dosages doubled, to a fatal amount, due to simple carelessness of the medical staff. Medication errors are seen as ‘never event’ mistakes, yet this hasn’t stopped them from creeping into the top clinical negligence claim causes in the Utah.

Relationship advice from someone who only recently became good at having one.

So, Its 2018 and Im 2 months from being 28.

I've been in a relationship for 3 years with an unbelievable girl who has been enormously loving, supportive, adventurous, helpful, empathetic and creative. I've dated more girls than most of my peers. As a person who sizes people and their personaities up very quickly, I eventually grew tired of both meaningless sex and came to the conclusion that I will not look for anyone, that if its meant to be, it will happen.

1 week later I met her. My soul mate to this day. At a bar. She's from Europe....Turkey to be exact. I recognized the heavy accent the moment I met her. There was something intriguing about her energy and her eyes. She was, and still is, radiant.

I will never forget that night and how for the first time in my life I was actually forced to finally give in to the belief in all the cliches about "love at first sight”.

When I appeared in the bar with my best friend, her eyes locked for a second with mine and something weird happened. I can't quite explain it. It was like in that moment we knew everything about each others past, and could predict with great accuracy everything our potential future held in store if we mutually decided to go down that path. It did feel destined. I remember that...for the first time ever, I wasn't questioning the pre-determined nature of the universe. I had been becoming exponentially better at “going with the flow” for the 3 years leading up to that moment...and I was quite sure as soon I talked to her that our conversation would be meaningful and engaging. We more or less met over a cigarette and smalltalk, me asking her where she's from, how long she's been here, etc. But our conversation soon became a 2 hr ordeal, and yet, it felt like 20 minutes. Our entire relationship has been like that. It's been 3 years and feels like 3 months. But people tell us we act like we've been together 20 years, and they mean it in the good way. I won't lie, it obviously feels nice to have people tell you that they envy your relationship.

I know all of this sounds corny as fuck, and the person I was 10 seconds before I first saw her would be nauseated by even the language I am using right now, but I believe in telling the truth and I think many people can relate to that weird phenomena of meeting your soul mate.

The point of this this little piece is that: as someone who grew up with divorced parents and no TV and rarely ever saw an example of what a healthy romantic relationship looks like, my learning curve for how to be a good partner has been rather steep.

I had to learn a lot of stuff on my own from ages 14-24, and very quickly, usually not quickly enough, and by that I mean the girl would either leave because I wasn't being a good enough boyfriend or I would freak out and break up with them. But with my current girlfriend, everything has been different than the last 10 girls or so that I dated. Nothing has been the same.

And the reason it has been different is that she is, and has been with me...patient and forgiving enough to be able to teach me how to be patient and forgiving enough with her. This post is about something in our beautiful, fully-functional relationship (not that we haven't had tons of fights) that I like to call “ROLE REVERSALS”.

An example of a ROLE REVERSAL here is that in the first 1 year of our relationship, I would be “the asshole”. I would lose my temper and start yelling or belittling her logic or thinking or argument, and I wouldn't let anything go until she “quit” the fight. It was quite verbally violent, although I think it's obvious that physically I would never intentionally intimidate a girl (besides maybe my sister, who is a malicious cunt who we all hate, and has bullied me and everyone else every opportunity she has had. And its any wonder I have such a fight in me towards people challenging my ideas). So for the first year, I was the asshole. Then she began to make me slowly realize the patterns of what I was doing, and why it was unnecessary, over-the-top. and counterproductive. And then there came a point where SHE started to become the asshole, the aggressor. Call it karma. Call it the universe realizing the exact point I was ready to have a taste of my own medicine hurled at me.

I've always been a person who is kind but can at times have a very short temper. I have tendencies to be a know-it-all, or be an asshole and disparaging to people when they are adamant about something that I know, scientifically, is wrong. I'm not proud of this, but in 27 years it has unintentionally gained me lots of respect from peers and even elders. I always speak my mind, and I can go from 0-100 real quick when I sense someone is wrong intellectually, morally, or just simply out place and line.

Anyway, the first time she ever had a mental breakdown and yelled at me, almost on the verge of tears, was when I realized that I better back down and cool off and shut the fuck up, because when 2 people are yelling nothing is ever accomplished. I know this very well, as my family life growing up often consisted of 2 or even 3 people yelling at the same time. The futility of it all just hit me right there. It didn't help matters that we were in a foreign country, driving her dad's car, and I was trying to focus on the GPS but also full of rage and defensiveness. We were arguing over me not being nice even though she was trying her best to keep me entertained and happy. And she was right. I was being my worst self. I remember thinking like “holy fuck..I can really drive people to fucking insanity. That wasn't just a yell that she made. That was a primal scream like something a female Lioness makes when a male tries to mate with her. It was the type of scream a woman makes before she finally resorts to hitting you or crying.

I suddenly knew it was NOT the time to keep being offensive, especially when she was at her wits end. Her being an asshole was the only way I was able to know how it felt when I was being the asshole. Isn't it funny how life works that way. I

I digress. The point is: ROLE REVERSALS and how important they are to keeping a relationship healthy. When she started to grow some teeth and was no longer this ‘always sweet, always compromising’ person, it really made me feel shitty and feel like my place in the room or conversation had no right to be voiced. It was an equalizer. It made us both realize that we need to constantly check in with each other and not make each other do things that weren't FULLY mutually enjoyable. It was a testing of limits for both of us and believe me, we found out what they were that day. Past that point, if one of us was visibly upset in any way about anything, the other person would LISTEN. Not object. Not argue. Not defend. Not offend. Just LISTEN.

You learn so much about your partner by listening, and as someone who has done most of the talking in almost 3 years, I can tell you, it's exhausting. Just sit back sometimes and let them search their mind for that funny, random, childhood story that defines who they are, or who their family member is. People can and will tell you everything...its just usually nobody actually LETS each other

The point is: when we first started dating, I was playing the role of the asshole who’s been hurt and darkened by life, and finds it hard to be trusting and patient and always compassionate. That was my always my role with women. Looking back, I think 90% of the girls who I was involved with interested in me because I was probably way smarter than any of the guys they'd ever met, although of course, women would never tell you something like that explicitly (they would never let you know that you hold all the cards).

Anyway, to conclude, if you're wondering why you're relationship isn't working, maybe it's that one or both of you are not able to play multiple roles.

Transphobia in the LGBT Community

To hear cisgendered lesbian and gay people say transphobic things is not as rare as we like to believe it is. It may not happen as concurrently as with heterosexuals, but it does happen way too much especially for a self-proclaimed accepting and inclusive community. That brings a certain sense of exclusion into our community, one that was haunting this community since it was created. This transphobia often exist in reason of their misunderstanding or lack of knowledge many have on trans folks and on trans people in general, in reason of their own extreme self-denial on the non-conformity they have on their gender which they take out on trans folks often by excluding or hating them, in reason of the newfound and rather widespread acceptance of privileged white gay men in North America that created a unity with heterosexuals that’s leading to them trying to distance themselves from trans people, in reason of the hate people feel on the fact that we include trans rights as one of the many sort of rights the LGBTQ community have to fight for especially since it’s more controversial than marriage equality per example and also because of the anonymity that many cisgendered women feel that are aimed at trans women.

So much that a substantial amount of discussions that include gays/bi/les about trans people often include a lot of muzzling, unrivaled venom, harassment and even in the worse case scenario death threats. All of these negative feelings and the ignorance that exist in the community about trans folks really intersect with trans folks when these trans folks happen to also be a sexual minority and are therefore enforced into regular social situations with ignorant cisgendered sexual minority folks and that leads to certain conflicts, to feelings being hurt and to the exclusion of transgender folks in general. Really, there’s a clear systematic problem that exist in the LGBTQ community when it comes to trans rights and trans folks in general that is created because of LGBTQ organisations, the queer media, from queer men and even more from queer women.

To be blunt, LGBTQ organisations typically ignore trans folks and their issues. Despite the fact that these people have always been in the front of the revolution for queer rights politically and socially, they have just as concurrently received wrong end of the stick, especially non-binary and agender ones. The thing is that often, they are lumped with the rest of the community so people assume that trans folks are rightfully catered in queer spaces but they have always been just an afterthought. Big organisations often just have a limited amount of trans folks who are mostly white to fit with the token system in order to earn more funding rather than actually focus of the needs of trans folks who are probably the more marginalized part of the queer community. This is to the point where the basic needs of these people are not even met by these organisations. Food and sanctuary for homeless trans folks, a rightful healthcare free of bigotry, protection in their workplaces, the public bathroom debate and security from different kinds of assaults are all things that are ignored by these organisations despite the fact that trans folks (and queer people of color) are the part of the community the most attacked and marginalized by our society.

On the other hand, when these organisations try to talk about trans issues, it’s mostly highly ignorant and apathetic cisgendered queer folks who do it and that have more negative affects than it has positive which leaves trans perspectives mostly absent from these organisations. This invisibility in these organisations (and in the media) leaves these people with no one there to represent them especially in these so called safe spaces. That’s not forgetting the constant invisibility that is present in the media with the exclusion of trans folks in LGBTQ history, and the atrocious and rare representation of trans folks on tv which creates a lot of misconceptions and perpetuates ignorance. In the end, there’s simply just so much to do in order for trans folks to truly feel safe and included in queer safe spaces and organisations and they should feel included and safe instead of constantly having to defend and advocating themselves in the community. By ignoring a major portion of our community, we are only undermining our vow for actual equality.

In the entire LGBTQ community, one of the biggest gaps that exist has to be the one between cisgendered lesbians and queer trans women. For starters, there is a troubling number of non-intentionally transphobic lesbians whom not only fear trans women but seem to also believe myths about trans women that they often openly perpetuate like how trans women fit into this very strained, old-dated way of being a woman which lesbians have fought extremely hard to dismantle in a political and social sense with media only contributing to this perpetuation as it also ignore all the range of gender presentations that trans women harbor and only focus on this tired stereotype. Of course, in comparison to other ways transphobia transpires in the lesbian community this is nothing and one of the ways which overshadows this one has to be the transphobia in the dating scene.

Often when lesbian trans woman are searching for a partner, they are rejected everywhere because of their gender state despite the fact that trans women do not harbor any physical trait that is consistent and common to every single trans woman despite the fact that they are trans. That’s because the reason for this rejection and their so called ‘’lack of attraction’’ of trans women only exist in reason of their perception of the concept of what it is to be a trans women which often stem from cultural perceptions and in reason of the stereotypes and myths that exist about trans folks. But many ignore or invalidate these claims since these claims which feel quite unfair and very accusatory don’t perceive themselves as transphobic. There’s also the fact that it’s not easy to tell the difference between honestly not being attracted to a trans individual and not being attracted to a trans individual in reason the repulsion and distress of the concept being with someone they see as being actually a man which is obviously a perspective smothered in our society transphobic constraints which are often mediated in a socio-culturally that only oppress, estrange and dehumanize trans women.

This very big gap that exists between both communities doesn’t particularly stem from the treatment trans women are subjected to in the lesbian dating scene as it mostly is present reason of TERFS who are a group of cisgendered lesbians who are radical feminists whom mainly focus their time on constantly perpetuating exaggerated myths and ideas about trans folks which are typically shared by conservatives christians. The term itself means trans-exclusionary radical feminists which while rejected by the group describes their ideologies perfectly as they believe that transwomen are not only men but their goal is to invade safe spaces that are inclusivity for women and also believe that these ‘’predatory men’’ simply appropriate femininity for gains, whether they be social or sexual. Thankfully, this group is small in number however they are also extremely visible and vocal enough to create a toxic gap between cisgendered lesbians and trans women.

They first and foremost spread many rumors about trans women such as the myth that trans women force other lesbians to date them by antagonizing them by saying that these women are transphobic by refusing to date them (It only is if it is because they are trans) which they perpetuate this specific myth in order to paint trans women as not only men, but also as rapists. It doesn’t really stop there as this gender-critical will use every method possible to dehumanize trans women and even more exclude and attack them. They often disallow these women from entering women only spaces and from certain LGBTQ inclusive events and certain organisations, they bully and harass trans men into not transitioning often with myths and stereotypes, they generally just mock and harass trans people, they out them to their family and friends, they expose personal info about them to the world, they dedicate sites into putting them down, they mock these women bodies and simply offer some of the most atrocious and disgusting manifestation of transphobia online and offline. They paint themselves as good people by saying that these actions validly embodies feminism and that they are only doing this to protect cisgendered women from trans women.

To a much lesser degree, the relationship between gay men and trans people is troubled as most gay men do not have any problem with the transgender community and do not try to take trans rights away from trans people and it’s generally not common nowadays as a big number of gay men are participating in the movement that’s created for trans acceptance and for trans people to have equal rights. However, an equal amount gay men simply have a unconcerned opinion on trans people which only turns into this belligerent hostility when gay men start to intersect with trans folks. The negativity of this intersection can come from both community as there are as many gay men who are transphobic as there are trans folks who are homophobic. However this transphobia which is established enough to be very hurtful is much more of a problem since discrimination tends to affects people who are lower on the social pyramid more. It’s definitely not as hurtful as the discrimination coming from cishets. Per example, even if in a LGBT space, some gay men constantly use the t-word, the space itself offers much more safety than the heterosexual one. That doesn’t change the problem itself which typically involve stereotypes.

Such stereotypes include the one that trans women are inherently attracted to men, and only transitioned into to be with heterosexual men which ultimately insinuate that the gay and trans communities cannot intersect. There’s the myth that trans men embodie this narrow-minded way of being masculine e which lead to gay men invalidating and questioning trans men when they do certain gay male traditions that are feminine in nature, the stereotype that trans men are actually just lesbians with body issues, that trans women are in some way or another into this reflection of themselves as women or the very misogynistic stereotype that gay trans men are straight women who are not adequate since they are so comfortable with gay men and wanted to be with a gay man so much that they become one. This stereotype ultimately paints femaleness as so inferior that women have to escape it and despite it’s ridiculousness, it’s so incredibly sexist that it also became a common belief since misogyny is so widespread that it can be attached to almost all the types of discrimination. Regardless, these get really problematic when they are shared.

The place where the biggest amount of problems takes place in the gay male community is in it’s exclusive dating scene which has cisgendered masculine muscular white gay men as its center. In fact, the community as a whole has this image as the forefront of the community and that definitely has a certain amount of effects on trans men. The first being that some gay men validate their sexualities by degrading women’s bodies and more specifically, their genitalia. Some trans men still haven’t done the surgery on their lower half which is why it’s not only hurtful but also why many gay men actively exclude the entire trans men community in very disgusting ways (It’s okay to not want to date a guy for having a vagina, it’s just the way you do it that makes it okay or not okay and not every trans men have vaginas). Generally, this attitude towards this type of genitalia is regressive since it ignores the diversity that exist when it comes to gender identities and sexual orientations. Regardless, this idealization of this specific body time which seems okay at first actually ends up being cissexist and misogynistic as it shames every queer men who are not gay, who are of color, who are slim or/and effeminate, who are either not in the back half of their 10s or not in their 20s and/or are transgendered.

Thing is not being attracted to everyone is perfectly fine and no one can be but grouping everyone of a specific race, sexuality or a gender state(cis, trans) and deeming every single one of them as inferior and inherently not dateable because of stereotypes and myths about that specific part of them is is not fine and rather discriminatory regardless of whether it be conscious action or not(which is why not being attracted to a certain gender does not quality as that isn’t inmate). In general, in order for there to be progression we need to let the trans voice be heard and respect the people voicing their thoughts on trans issues instead of portraying them as simply being bitter or even just jaded. Conversations about these issues help positively influence some people's mindsets on trans folks which is why as a community, we should start doing this. So start calling out transphobia and start including trans issues when it comes to discussion about LGBTQ rights whether they be bathroom laws which can be exclusive to trans folks and honestly, simply knowing that everyone deserves to individually treated with dignity and courtesy regardless of their presentation is a good start which can be done by confronting all the myths we hold, the biases we harbor and our sometimes exclusive viewpoints so that hopefully, one day, we’ll stop treating the movement for equality like the LG movement and more like the LGBT movement.

On What It’s Like to be a Canadian Millennial in a relationship that actually works (and how)

So, Its 2018 and Im 2 months from being 28.

I've been in a relationship for 3 years with an unbelievable girl who has been enormously loving, supportive, adventurous, helpful, empathetic and creative. I've dated more different girls than most of my peers, and I have to say, all of them made me come to the conclusion that I'm better off just being alone and not even trying to talk to any females.

1 week later I met her. At a bar. She's from Europe..had been here 1 year when I met her.

I had to learn a lot of stuff on my own from ages 14-24, and very quickly, usually not quickly enough, and by that I mean the girl would either leave because I wasnt being a good enough boyfriend or I would freak out and break up with them. But with my current girlfriend, everything has been different than the last 10 girls or so that I dated. Nothing has been the same.

It didn't help matters that we were in a foreign country, driving her dad's car, and I was trying to focus on the GPS but also full of rage and defensiveness. I knew it was NOT the time to keep being offensive, especially when she was at her wits end.

You learn so much about your partner by listening, and as someone who has done most of the talking in almost 3 years, I can tell you, its exhausting. Just sit back sometimes and let them search their mind for that funny, random, childhood story that defines who they are, or who their family member is. People can and will tell you everything...its just usually nobody actually LETS each other
