What kind of dog is she, our dog looks the same bit all we were told from the shelter is “hound”.

This physically pains me.

Thanks. Fyi. The search is case sensitive

You may not have given them location data to that app in particular but your devise probably has an advertising id which has tied you to a location for other services.

Unfortunately, insurance is insulated from public backlash because it’s not something that is easy to shop around for. Many people get insurance though work and have limited options to start with and a specific time window for make plan changes. When all options equally suck there isn’t an affordable place to switch your business too.

This sort of change would need to be legislated, but public opinion has very little impact on public policy.

Healthcare is broken in the US and no one with any real power to make change will do anything about it because it’s far too profitable the way it is now.

"An agreement was reached on the return of PMC Wagner to their locations. Part of those who will wish to do so, will sign contracts with the Ministry of Defense — this concerns those who did not take part in the march, indeed, there were such formations which, from the very beginning, changed their minds and returned. They even requested to be escorted by the traffic police and other assistance in order to return to their permanent locations,"

I’m pro soup, beans are bad for the economy.

Sweet thank you

A lot of places are moving to “soft billing” where you’ll be sent a bill but if you don’t pay it’s written off; or no billing for residents. (Assuming you habe government run EMS and not private)

As an volunteer EMT I hate hearing that a pt doesn’t want to be transported because of the price. Life saving care shouldn’t be cost prohibitive, I’m glad my jurisdiction changed as this became more common.

In my jurisdiction this is false. (USA near DC). This realt depends on the hospital system. If you come in on an ambulance (with a legitimate illness or injury) you will get placed in a room by EMS and EMS will transfer your care to hospital staff (either a RN or MD) before leaving you. On the rare instance that I have moved a patient to the waiting room at thr request of hospital staff is with a patients that did not need present with any need to be seen.

I have never recommended that a patient can wait, that is outside of my scope of practice and is not advocating for my pt. The extent of my interaction with the hospital is laying out the facts of the pt conditions (vitals,  pertinent medical information, and history)

The other thing they don’t say during cpr class is that the resuscitation rate for an out of hospital cardiac arrest is 9.1%.

One of the biggest factors in survivability is the time to initiate CPR in the time the compressions are interrupted. My EMS department has moved away from a AHA to high performance CPR. 

Sorry for the duplicates, seems to be a bug with Memmy
