The Strait is open. The Strait is closed. Mitch is alive. Mitch is dead. The war is on. The war is off. We have barred the gates. Drums in the deep. We cannot get out. A shadow moves in the dark. They are coming.

The audio that’s been presented doesn’t match the energy of the video or what equipment would likely be on a patient post CPR. We need more data and ideally a second source for the audio. Which should be doable given that scanner junkies record this stuff.

1- this lines up with the video and first responder energy in the video. 2- unconscious elderly person gets that level of response in DC (engine, BLS and ALS unit) 3- members of Congress and the senate have an obligation to promptly inform their constituents when they can’t do the job.

See this is what I mean. Scanner junkies are all over this stuff. Again, there absolutely was a medical event at McConnell’s home. That none of the scanner junkies out there caught it, and an independent journalist was the one to find it two weeks later is just…it’s unusual.

Firefighters are turning the corner on the Aspen Acres Fire but hundreds of Coloradans have lost their homes and will need long-term help. We’ve raised $130k for the Southern CO Wildfire Fund. I’m matching fifty $5 donations: secure.qgiv.com/for/emergenc...

Just a reminder, aortic dissection is uniformly fatal without treatment. If you have chest/back pain that feels like a ripping/tearing sensation goto the ER IMMEDIATELY or call 911. Other common symptoms are abdominal pain, fainting, unilateral leg or arm pain/weakness with stroke like symptoms.

Ooof. That’s a brutal way to go.

DC Fire/EMS is not encrypted. Keep in mind the initial point. There was scanner traffic confirming a call at Grahams house.

This story is about 10 days old. One detail kept bothering me. Why was one reporter the only person who brought up details from the call. I realized what caught my attention today after Graham died. No reports from scanner junkies. 1/

Damn... Not wrong, but dayum, that's one of the most cutting condemnations I've seen. And not a "harsh word" in it.

it’s very easy to split the difference here and understand why a public figure who worked with another recently deceased public figure would say kind things about them in public while random internet commenters who were harmed by their decisions might be unkind, we don’t have to discourse about it

So my brother was visiting this week. He and Mom have very similar personalities. I do not have their temperament/personality. I’ve always been more like dad. It’s fascinating to see how the two of them being in a space with me left me just drained most of the week. Anyway- kitten

Oh, good. He got the last of his mysteriously vanishing campaign funds stashed, finally submitted the paperwork rather than hold Maine voters hostage.

Betting sepsis

John McCain is absolutely ripping a strip off of Graham right now.

Holy shit

What’s the last significant HIPAA violation story that’s hit media? The last big one I remember was JPP (NY Giants) blowing off part of his hand. Has there been anything comparable since? It feels like between all electronic records and massive lawsuits, there zero incentive for hospital staff

I adored these books

Welp. Allez Blues!

Hawks fans- do we approve?

What’s going to be fun is if one of the reporters says “fuck it” and produces tape of Trump being the one to spill the beans on the security issues.

Nearly forgot- there are times where lights and sirens are counter productive. Not every call, even a call with CPR in progress is a lights/sirens the whole way call.

Nooooo

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

So for background- I’ve been an EMT in the DMV region and run mutual aid into DC 1- conspiracy theories aside, it’s very rare to load a dead person who you are not attempting to work on into an ambulance. It generates paperwork, keeps a unit out of service, and means a full decon. 1/

Well, only had 2 people show up (together) but they did buy some prints and I got a lot done on the WIP. I'll be there again tomorrow at 10am.

They might say, "Because I don't want to be catcalled on the way to the bodega!" The 3rd generation New Yorker might ask, "Did... did one of them cat-call you? I know their parents! Which one?" The new to the neighborhood person might respond, "No, none of them did yet... but I don't feel safe!🤡"

Dear Whiskey Pete- feel free to tell the Welsh Guards how non professional, and non lethal beards are.

Reminder that even if there’s not a Minneapolis level response organized in your community, carry your whistle and USE IT If you hear a whistle, grab your phone and film.

Not all criticism of AIPAC is antisemitic: there are plenty of criticisms that aren't. But the number of accusations this week that opposition to the Senate candidacy of a rapist with a Nazi tattoo could only happen because of a (((conspiracy))) is not one of them.

Two New World screwworm cases in dogs are among more than 30 confirmed instances in Texas and New Mexico, prompting warnings Wednesday from veterinarians and humane societies that pet owners need to remain vigilant to protect their animals. https://to.pbs.org/4f3qnR5

Mamdami also had some legit experience to back up parts of his platform. He’d been working in organizing spaces, and was a state assembly member.

Private equity is buying America's hospitals and nursing homes. The playbook: pile on debt, sell the building, cut staff. The result, one landmark study found: patient deaths up about 11%. #news #information #privateequity

Perfect response. Platner needs to step down immediately, and he has no standing to have any role in dictating the process for this replacement, the end

Pritzker has been consistently and vocally pro trans since his name started getting bandied around for 28.

But it was really revelatory for me to finally get under that overexertion threshold for long enough to feel the difference. And gosh do I wish I had tried it when I was still mild & had much more wiggle room!

Left & right in America, men who want the space for only men are quite dominant Many people expose their real feelings in the defense of bad men who are mediocre but men rush to defend because of the masculinity and authenticity and from potus on down it’s *hilariously* homoerotic sometimes
