Things I'm going to forget to blog about

19:06 We sat down to dinner, Willow the cat jumped on a chair and started chasing her tail. Dinner and a show!

19:45 First healthcare ad to make me really upset: bit.ly/38Yool THIS is what my uninsured, laid off, cancer patients are facing.

19:52 Ug. Twatlight commercial. I'll show you all a "New Moon."

I've always wondered if medical shows piss medical people off as much as computer people on tv piss computer people off.

[slashfairy]

oh hell yes. lol. i just ranted about medical/"nursing" shows and a friend replied that her IT husband has his rants about those "IT" shows.

YES. :)

And my husband(an attorney) hates law shows and refuses to watch them.

lol willow
*sigh* the youtube series- so true, and so infuriating
*angry nod* the uninsured kids- what i could tell you from 20+ years of PICU/NICU/Peds...
*claps* castle for the win, yes

*furious* at your work about H1N1 vac for you. damn them anyway.

missed twatlight. Trauma is bizarre. San Francisco's nothing like that. promise. Mercy, Three Rivers, HawthoRNe, Nurse Jackie- am i forgetting anyone?- all crap. pure unadulterated crap.

*hoists glass of sparkling water*

Mercy... where new grads just pull up 100 mg of morphine and slam it into someone's vein. WTF???

[sistrmoon]

You're getting the vac in exchange for giving vacs or something? I'm starting to get desperate over here. Of course, it may be a moot point if what I have brewing is Hamthrax.

[grimalkinrn]

I'm giving vacs at a county health dept and all workers get a vac. So yeah.

[laika_came_home]

Ok. Honest to God. WHAT is the holdup? There isn't any shortage or rationing of the vaccines in this region. I don't understand why you guys are struggling to *qualify* as high risk just to get the damn thing. Is this a state heath dept issue? I'm just...baffled.

[sistrmoon]

No clue. I thought it was this way everywhere. I'm on an online mom's group(which is moms all over the country) and people are literally traveling hours to get the vaccine for their kids. They're giving out the vaccine to the pediatric workers at my hospital first...which I understand, but we on the Onc floor can't take the nasalmist either, and it seems like we would be pretty high priority too.

The Conspiracy Theorist in me says Big Pharma is hoarding vaccines to create demand.

It does seem weird to me because so many people I know *aren't* getting the vaccine for themselves or their kids...so where is all this demand coming from?
