3/27/23 Nashville School Shooting

Suspicious Monkey GIF by MOODMAN


...no?

It's been YEARS since I took any work home.
So a family member has been doing it wrong then. Every day, even during the summer, they are working to help make student's lives better. Eveen if it just one, to them it matters.
Get off of your ass man and make a difference, you can so it. Society needs you to.
 
Check your patient records. I answered with 'meh, don't you think anyone has good and bad days? in a given 6 month period, everyone's gonna have at least one or two.' I look at my record file and doc put something equivalent to 'low level depression' entry lol. At least for now that doesn't auto prohibit you.
Yup, I answer "all is good".... no matter what...always! Fill everything out with the smiley faces.

I learned the hard way... I got a diagnosis 20 years ago that turned out to be incorrect. Completely wrong...It still shows up occasionally in some records. It's really easy to get stuff put in your records, it impossible to remove it cleanly (there's always a record it was there even it was removed).

Long story short during initial recovery from a surgery for Cushings, I was diagnosed with "diabetes insipidus"...which basically means pee your brains out all the time. It was gratefully temporary (a couple months and they had drugs to help), but the Dx went in my chart.

For over a year I got solicitations about different products for diabetes treatment from my insurance providers (and vendors they gave my name to!) and different nurses wanting to know if I wanted to enroll in different wellness programs for diabetics. The problem is "diabetes insipidus" has absolutely NOTHING to do with blood sugar. It's called that because one of the symptoms of diabetes is increased urine production, but there the similarity stops.

So not only didn't they have the right disease, they missed the memo that it was temporary. Just last year I went to follow up with my endrocronlogist (19 years have passed) and the tech doing the intake asked if I had my blood sugar monitor with me
***sigh**** it never goes away.
 
I have no doubt this one would carry out the threat of shitting in your food. Makes you want to think twice about what restaurants you go to. That aside; how the eff would you launch someone into the sun?
You would need to remove 67,000 mph of momentum from a person after getting out of earth's orbit. You would then fall into the sun. Not doing this would just make it so you have a very toasty perihelion.
 
I've seen some of the figures that the teachers union throws out. Complete and utter bullshit. When they say that the average teacher makes 30k or 40k, I gotta believe that includes teachers aides, perdiem, part-times etc.

My wife makes $12.17 an hour working as a paraprofessional working with a special needs girl 1 on 1. She makes $16/hr for 1 hour if she has to clean up the girl if she messes herself. Her take home pay every 2 weeks claiming Married 1 on taxes is $564, working 35 hours per week. She has elected to take her pay over 52 weeks.

Municipal workers are excluded from minimum wage in MA. My wife dedicated numerous hours to being a teacher representative in talks with the school to ensure raises for teachers and other concessions while she continues to get paid less than minimum wage.

However, it is her dream job, she understood the pay when she took it. It is on me to make up the difference.

Had similar insanity with getting an inhaler refill.
Asthma has been under control for entire life except after a cold. Started getting calls from BCBS nurses to help me "manage my Asthma" finally answered the call and told them no thanks it's only to help after a bad cold and I'd been managing fine my entire life.
Next thing my record has depression on it because I was unwilling to manage a chronic health condition.

I still see reference to my rectal bleed in my records from time to time. It was a retinal bleed, not rectal.

OOoooffff that's brutal

Yeah I've asked them to remove the records, but I know even if they do there are audit mechanisms to say what was removed, by who and when. It never really goes away.
 
My main argument against not vetting. I know a lot of LTC holder I would not trust to protect my children, or me, I know a few cops I feel the same way about. I have a friend that carries every day for past 35 years.... invited him to a club event and scared the shit out of every one..... He said he doesn't shoot pistols... Air marshals where held to a high proficiency standard given the area they would be engaging in. rounds needed to be on target and only spent when needed. I feel a school needs to be that same....... if a gym teacher with a LTC mag dumps on a perp like a NY cop and hits a few kids what the good is it, and it will never be allowed again
I don't think anyone expects a teacher, janitor, or lunch lady to turn into Rambo in the event a shooting occurs, but in the case of Uvalde or Sandy Hook, the killers are looking to get into a classroom and make corpses. If a school goes into lockdown an armed staff inside the room knows the threat is coming from one spot and that's the door.

As we know armed resistance deters armed attackers and doors make great choke points.

Remember, the goal is self escape and evasion, if that isn't possible then self defense, not engagement. Don't overthink it.

This.

You barricade the door, try to find cover or concealment while they shoot out the windows, and then hope he moves on.

A gun in hand would stand a good chance of making him move on faster. The goal of an armed teacher is not to hunt the shooter; it's to hopefully protect themselves and their students. Defense, not offense.
 
I’m just going to nod and pretend I understand completely what you just said.

ok. Let's say you escape from earth's gravitation pull (reach escape velocity). You still have the momentum imparted on you from the earth, which will make you travel around the sun at approximately 67,000 mph. So you need to decrease your velocity to "fall into" the sun. If you insufficiently decrease your velocity relative to the sun, you will take on an orbit around the sun and at it's closest point (the perihelion) you will be "toasty".
