Covid-19++: 2nd verse same as the first...maybe.

[lurk]

Yeah there was a weird bug going around then n i wonder if it was the start of all this n we didnt realize it.

If it was, i hope they are wrong about the lack of immunity post infection.

i genuinely believe it's being over hyped for political reasons. we didnt shut the economy down and make everyone wear face-diapers (and scuba gear) over swine flu, bird flu, or even spanish flu. <tinfoil> being that this is bill gates' pet project and the WHO/UN is a central piece, i wonder if they havent been flying over everyone with planes and spraying that shit everywhere.</tinfoil>

 

[Call Me Tim]

Eh thats more machiavellian than i think theyre capable of.
I think its moreso the need for a differential plus the 'well fuck what else can we do' mindset. Thats kinda the mindset for this whole situation tbh.

You'll be surprised how much a CT will cost. I'm willing to bet the hospital is making up lost funds through CT scans. To treat the uninsured and homeless; the money has got to come from somewhere.

Ehhhh gonna politely agree to disagree here.

I got swine flu years ago. Ive been exposed to the Hanta Virus. I was part of the Ebola care team at my hospital back east (we never saw a case tho).

This virus is the worst thing ive personally seen in the decade+ ive worked healthcare. It beats the shit out of ppls lungs, causes weird af immune responses n a whole host of blood hypercoagopathy shit (thickens n clots ur blood).
Idgaf im not gonna scream at ppl if they wanna gather for parties or not wear a mask, i cant live someones life for them or make their choices. Ppl need to live, make money n socialize. Its who we are as a species n how we survive.

But this shit is real. I dont want any of you spastic testicle tuggers to catch it.

Btw i hate this shutdown too my side gig doing lucha photography got shut down and all my hippy festivals n concerts got cancelled.

Point. And there's the restrictions that were politically rejected because politics. Ironically no one had a problem with the previous administration doing the same thing.

You'll be surprised on how nefarious people can be. I mean, it's because of these people we have eithics codes and moral laws.

True. But i dont see any of these docs getting kickbacks from CT manufacturers.

The one drives a 97 carolla. N wears scrubs with bleach stains on the butt.

I didnt know that shit causes cataracts

Yeah, def is. They first observed it with people who worked on particle accelerators. There's a definitive accumulated dose you need to get them which I don't know off the top of my head. You need cath lab doses tho. Another thing is hardened carotids which cath lab docs are prone to.

Not from the CT manufacturers. They order needless tests because: doctor. The hospital bills the insurance company for the test and the CT is paid for though the patient's insurance company.

It's like you don't even know how to scam. @ASSBLONKER teach raddy how to scam.

They get kickbacks for exams ordered. One doc here had to pay back 100k for ordering unnecessary exams. This is also the same doc that doesn't give af about putting pts in renal failure because he's ”never seen it” which is ofc because those pts are usually transfers lol

Fucking doctors. Kill them all.

They even had a leaderboard posted in the doctors lounge with quarterly radiology exams ordered for each ER doc lol. Shit is so antithetical to the ALARA standards in radiology that gets shoved down our throats.

(As low as reasonably achievable) in regards to radiation dose.

A head CT here bills for 5 grand out of pocket and they scan almost everyone who comes in with a migraine lol

MDS and nurse pracs lol. It's not mandated to order more, but subtly encouraged. Don't even get me started on nurse pracs.

One where you don't need licensure to actually work as a rad tech, so there's that too lol.

If you get a CT with contrast the omni 300 is an extra 1k charge plus an extra 1k on the exam itself. You also get charged for the power injector supplies and saline flush lol.

specifically. If youcan't can you probably suggest it. I don't want to be charged 100K for a food poisoning episode.
