man it must’ve sucked so much ass being a nurse during COVID

Hands down, no question. It was still the early days, april 2020, so I am a bit less forgiving than later in 2020. Nurses already got the short end of the medical stick even before covid

this instance was just particularly memorable.

A nurse once told me to "mind my own fucking business" when I said "are you fucking kidding me?" to seeing her pull off her mask to cough into her hand and go back to the shit she was working on during covid lock downs. In the ER nurses station, surrounded by nurses with asks completely down or with noses poking out.

10/10

There was on one that I've been in, not sure about this one.

From my understanding, when an MRI is emergency stopped it doesn't stop immediately, and it causes a lot of damage, so staff are less likely to use it in an emergency. Stupid, yes. But when you're worried about getting fired for hitting a button, you're less likely to think of a situation as an emergency. You would think "chain strangling a man" constitutes an emergency though...

As for the staff not stopping the guy making a beeline for the door with more than just words, I'm not sure. I would prefer staff tackle me to the floor rather than let me blithely walk to my doom. Of course I'm only in my 30s...

The hospital is absolutely partly to blame, especially if they didn't properly convey the danger beforehand. All 3 hospitals I've recieved an MRI from have been pretty insistent about making sure I have no metal on or around me before I go in the doors though.

I'd say it's about 60/40 on the hospital.

how did it not throw up red flags all around letting this guy wear it around that machine.

He wasn't allowed in the room.

His wife panicked in the MRI, he charged into the room he was told not to go Into.

No chief engineer has ever asked why my favorite transporter rooms require so much extra power.

Well... Not more than once, anyway...

Well, even Kim has a plate. All the bridge crew from VOY have one!

Kim: I literally saved the ship and everyone inside on multiple occasions, literally rewrote history, and I'm still an Ensign.

Paris:I haven't gotten anyone seriously maimed or disobeyed huge important orders in awhile, so they promoted me.

Matthew 6:5

And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

But of course, none of them have ever read these words, that would require reading the Bible in some form or another.

You should see the things Riker gets up to in Quark's holosuites.

I don't think the universal translator will even allow me to tell you.

Nope, not me.

I'd like to think I'm funny though...

Well, I mean I DO technically have a YouTube channel that hasn't posted since 2017 and only has a few battlefield 3/4 clips on it I wanted to show friends.

Which YouTube guy would I be?
