Yip. I was in Ob/Gyn nursing for a long time.

No-one...I mean no-one goes into the MD and says “hey everything is fine but look at this...”

IAMA HCHB Hospice nurse Administrator. I cannot believe we have reached a time where we don’t have the proper PPE for care. And the fact that we are being railed with this is so fucked up.

2 years ago: “you need a head cover, eyewear, N95, 2x gloves, shoe covers”

Now: “do you have any old lab jackets around? Also maybe a shower cap like the hotels have? And you can DIY this Fab mask from an old bandana”

It’s beyond devastating.

Hospice Nurse here:

I actually modified slightly and adapted this for work IRL. One cannot say "see you soon" or "see you later"...and goodbye is not cool.

so for me at the end of each visit it's "Until we meet again, friend"

I had the OPPOSITE experience of you. I grew up with Pot being LEGAL. Moved to the lower 48 as a late teen...then was told how "bad" pot was. Got taken out of the class for arguing with the drug educator.
