  • More like creating unintelligible alarms on your appliances so they just make noise at you without conveying any information unless you dedicate yourself to esoteric study of their language. Gonk droids are walking IV pump noises.

    GONK

    Critical error and about to explode? GONK. Just saying hello? GONK. In the real world we sometimes joke these appliances are just insecure and want attention sometimes but here it might be a real factor.

  • Currently my strategy is to attempt to fold my legs under the seat and essentially kneel because it's not physically possible for my thighs to fit. Between kneeling and praying to the God of capitalism to not give me a dvt vs crouching like the subhuman ogre I am: I'll crouch.

  • This shit is complicated because nursing homes do often call EMS unnecessarily(this is where the term GOMER or get out of my emergency room comes from in the first place, someone with acute on chronic conditions who needs to be managed but who inpatient care won't really improve). Overall these programs aren't what I'd consider secret and they're not much different than Medicare giving penalties for readmissions regardless of cause(a policy from the government, not private insurance). But I'm not calling a fucking insurance company or even a provider before EMS if I, as an RN, find stroke symptoms. The standard of care just doesn't support it and it opens me up to liability. I call EMS and then call the provider, then coordinate care , document, and give report. The last item on that list is calling an insurance company. This is beyond the pale:

    In one patient case identified by the Guardian, nursing home staff sent a resident to the hospital because she was found unresponsive, drooling and with a “slant to the side” – possible stroke symptoms. She was admitted to the intensive care unit for a brain bleed, according to a UnitedHealth email reviewed by the Guardian.

    But after the incident, instead of praising the facility team for the prompt hospitalization, a UnitedHealth manager alerted her subordinates that the facility team had bypassed the company’s protocol, failing to contact UnitedHealth’s remote on-call team first to receive guidance.

    The manager met with the nursing home’s director of nursing services, and scheduled training to re-educate the facility’s nurses, the email shows.

    What makes all of this particularly strange is that more than likely the standing orders and policies and procedures of the nursing homes themselves likely maintain the steps I've laid out.

  • That particular incident is hard to use as a specific ongoing threat for anybody though. Didn't that guy target the place because he was mad he was born in the first place? Being pro abortion and anti IVF is a particularly rare position.

  • Back in June 2024, Wilson also sued Sonic for including onions on a burger. That fast food company has requested a jury trial for this week.

    Dude is literally wasting his own time. They keep lawyers on retainer for these exact type of cases. He'd fail even with a small company once he hit their insurance lawyer.
