  1. Meet our #medicalstudent Dominik Matyjaszczyk, who spent two months in the #emergencyroom of #Africa’s largest #hospital for his #clinicalelective. In our interview, he shares his formative experiences: go.tum.de/519326

  2. Just read an article in the Los Angeles Times about hospital #ER wait times...

    > Loma Linda University Medical Center ranked third in the country for how long
    > its patients typically spent at the emergency department, with a median time of
    > nearly seven hours, based on federal data.

    #Canadians are now picking themselves up off the floor, #laughing.

    Here in #Saskatchewan, the literal birthplace of #medicare, we would be absolutely THRILLED if ER wait times averaged "nearly seven hours". Twelve hours is more typical. And that less-than-seven-hours counts as third-worst in the #USA?

  3. I went rogue again today and I'm sorry, because I love tooting, talking with people and spreading positivity. In my defence, we spent the whole last day in the E.R. as my wife broke her foot (a car ran over her...) and today we tried to figure out how to do stuff for the next thirty days.

    I'm a bit spent but hey, you know what? Time for the #GamesFTW

  4. Northeast B.C. hospitals see significant drop in monthly #EmergencyRoom diversions energeticcity.ca/2024/10/01/no “Hospitals in #NortheastBC. saw a substantial decrease in hospital diversion in September compared to previous months.

    In total, #NorthernHealth facilities throughout the region were closed for at least 51.5 hours during the month of September.

    #FortStJohn closed for a total of 25 hours and #Chetwynd closed for at least 26.5 hours.”

  5. I presented as calm, the paperwork said. Well yeah... I’ve been through a lot! Was told that some people get upset over the screening questions. Any thoughts of self-harm? Physical or verbal abuse at home? Inhalants?

  6. The stress-induced opportunistic infection (cellulitis) was promptly diagnosed. Was prescribed kick-ass complementary antibiotics.

  7. The inflamed facial cyst, which I shall not post the photograph of here, was was a stress-induced opportunistic infection. I'm now taking two kick-ass complementary antibiotics, one of which is thrice a day for 7 days.

  8. Welcome to Greenbelt. I've moved in with Mother to take care of her in her declining years. Events have been moved up a bit because of the exigent gall duct procedure; moving and hospitalization don't together.

  9. Keeping my brother and his wife in the loop was a bit frustrating. “Speak English!” Idiomatic English. “Don’t use clichés!” Blood sugar every four hours. “What is ‘blood sugar’...???”👀

  10. The procedure went smoothly and Mother was wheeled into her hospital room chipper and alert (and as per usual amazing everyone that she's 96). My brother suggest that we sing "We Wish You A Merry Christmas". Family conference ensued.

  11. It doesn’t rain, it pours. Doctor’s office called late yesterday afternoon after the furniture move, alarmed by Mother’s astronomically high LTP enzyme reading, and strongly recommended that we go to St. Alphonsus ER for a follow-up blood test.

    Bike duct blockage procedure today.

  12. CW: mh-

    After that I called one of the three GPs in Eindhoven that is listed by transineigenhand as trans-friendly transineigenhand.nl/voor-trans to see whether they would take me despite them being supposedly closed for new patients after someone told me that they had success when they pointed out being trans. Well I can sadly report that this sadly doesn’t work with van Eerdenbrugh. 😢

    I’m now very seriously considering to just go to the #EmergencyRoom after work and come up with some symptoms to maybe at least get some #bloodtests because it’s not like following the rules gets you anything in this shithole-country.

  13. So I’m still kinda looking into going to the #EmergencyRoom and telling them I overdosed on #Estrogen, so that they perform a blood-test. The problem is of course figuring out what symptoms to claim and whether there are any symptoms that are hard to simulate.

    The question is of course where to get the information from, and I just had an idea: I could ask my #GP who denied me my #BloodTests (the KankerKut I was talking about before)! They are of course not going to help, but it might work fine as a way to mess with them. 😈

    (And no, I don’t have moral objections to this anymore, I have lost way to much trust into the Dutch #Hellcare system, to give a fuck anymore. If I don’t do it, it will be because I can’t be arsed to wait in an ER, not because I respect the system!)

    "According to the news site, the #anonymous #senior went to #Hospital Sainte Musse in #Toulon to remove the 8-inch #ArtilleryShell from his #anus , which he had placed inside him for pleasure.

    #Doctors at the hospital were not just concerned about the #medical needs of the senior but also that the #explosive could #detonate in the hospital. However, it was quickly determined that the risk of an explosion was minimal."
