I think its more this as well. Also, Medicaid, which they likely had, and their children definitely had, would cover ambulance.

My eggroll Asian cookies were the most obvious. They were like $6 or $7 a box (damn inflation). Now they are $16. Damn those tariffs

Not sure how it happened but Nvidia CEO and AMD CEO are cousins. . However, he still made these direct statements. I would still take AMD.

Live in San Francisco and I am impressed with the Waymos. There’s a lot of four way stops and lots of pedestrians. They honestly drive better than most people. There’s a lot of times too where a car pulls up alongside another row of cars paralleled parked on the street and turns on their emergency lights to make a delivery or something. Waymos somehow check other side of the road and proceed around these cars going into the other side of the street safely.

Hello there!

I am a manager and I have staff that have different medical conditions. If you are in need of any accommodations at your work, check with HR or your boss for any options of alternative work schedules, protected time off, etc. There should be a department within HR if you have enough medical justification to have granted intermittent days off, shortened work hours (all this is “alternative work schedules or accommodations”).

You should have options to ensure your health is a priority and that your time to care for that is protected!!

"‘You have not tried all lower levels of care available in your area. You can learn to control your behaviors and stay at home. You can learn coping skills in your home. Your family can support you as you get treatment.’”

100% I believe they sent this to family… If addictions were so easy to manage we wouldn’t have all these addiction programs

I respectfully disagree after you try other EHRs like Cerner lol

I also haven’t heard complaints about Epic with bugs at least in my org. They are pretty user friendly especially when we have some staff that can barely type. The only complaint was documentation. Nursing documentation was tedious with like over 250 options for “adult assessment” but they’ve slimed it down to like 50 earlier this year for my healthcare system. Lastly, I think things work better the more money hospitals put in the EHR. I was per diem for another healthcare system. It was pretty cool how many other features they had than ours.

I’m sort of happy for any local book stores!! The more the better but yes smaller ones preferred! They have their own unique personalities!

I think its like $10k for in or out of the US and items of value

TUL pens. Super durable as I click my pens from anxiety and I havent had one break on me. Write very smoothly too

HIPAA will still and should get him terminated. It was not an accidental HIPAA violation for sure and HIPAA is one of strongest privacy laws. Healthcare gets slapped with fines all the time. They do not get ignored and most healthcare agencies have harsh policies around it. Ive known some incidents of fines, corrective actions, and terminations

Our friend had his phone opened on IG. A random picture of an Asian girl with literal “airbag” boobs popped up, rather naked. Those boobs were so artificially inflated though that it reminds me of an AI image.

We now clown him constantly

TIL DJI is a Chinese company.

No cut off. AI may have some books out there but not all. There will always be authors out there like Martha Wells, Sanderson, john Scalzi and even new debut authors all the time trying to write. Agree with other poster, you’re only going to miss out by limiting yourself

Mine is similar. Just a day with my husband and dog and I will be happy.

I just finished Only Murders in the Building. I love it. Its a whodunit with Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. The whole cast always feels to me like they’re always having a lot of fun!

Life in Pieces too!! Def ended too early :(

100% agree. Our healthcare sucks and I won’t deny that. It would be so much cheaper and more efficient to have single-payer/universal healthcare. Studies and data consistently show that Americans pay the most and have worse healthcare outcomes (especially comparing mortality rates: overall, maternal, infant, etc). People are paying into it with high premiums and still having copays, out of pocket costs, etc. Single payer is the way to go for sure.

My job still exists in other countries like Australia, Japan, etc. But yes they dont have to worry about the healthcare services patients get being paid for or covered as much.

I know in the 10 years ive worked in a hospital ive never had a patient denied care in ICU unless the reason listed above. I also know A LOT about insurance, much more than most healthcare professionals. I also connect my doctors to insurance when we do need to appeal decisions and ask for a peer to peer.

Im not saying insurance never denies care. They do. Anecdotally though, never had incorrect denial with ICU. Its too easy to prove insurance definition of "medical necessity’ there. I am still very doubtful of this specific example. Downvote all you want but the scanario I gave above is almost 100% probably what happened. I’m just explaining the process and likely what happened. Its okay if I’m not believed. I know what’s true and how healthcare works. Its bittersweet that I have my job because I know how to navigate the healthcare system and get my patients what they need for their healthcare goals.

Edit: Also, with the scanario above, almost 100% of ICU professionals would agree with insurance for the reasons listed above. We know how it feels to want to bring someone up from the ED but can’t because we have beds already full… There are a very few select patients occasionally that want to live in the hospital. I’m aware we are encountering some people at their most vulnerable, traumatic times. It sucks. But they can’t live there.

The only other reason I can think for denial is if treatment is experimental. Otherwise, its really easy to appeal and get the care approved in ICU.
