I feel bad that patients are left with the burden of inflated healthcare costs as they are trying to recover or battle illnesses.

I definitely think there is stigma from the family if someone pursues cosmetic procedures. But the family should not influence the decisions of the patient and them pursuing what's their desire or choices in life.

As a U.S. RN - the list goes on and on! Maternal deaths, deaths by medical mistakes, and infants who die on the first day of life are the biggest outcomes the US is falling short on as a nation with so much healthcare spending. The main factors can be proven and speculated depending on the situation, but the greed and business-model approach to healthcare in the United States are two main contributing factors that come to my mind.

Thank you for posting this. I think it’s so important to raise awareness about the long-term effects of PTSD.

I feel like any awareness brought to a charitable cause such as this that raises money and awareness are all positive and great things <3

I would say that all the help we can get as nurses is the best. If AI can lighten the load and demand, then the interactions can be more meaningful when the nurses are fully staffed. On that note, healthcare facilities can keep up happy by filling shifts even at the last minute with Nursa. https://nursa.com/facility/articles/auto-schedule

The recent story about Adriana Smith reminds me of the medical case in Texas regarding Marlise Nicole Muñoz, does anyone have more insights on that case?

I looked, but I can't seem to find the mother's name. And no, I didn't realize the mother was a nurse.

Can anyone else relate to this on your third day in a row? Weird Barbie time!

It's staggering the number of deaths and disabilities that occur due to medical neglect or failure to diagnose, such as in this landmark case.

I think the last military draft was the Vietnam War? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25cmARm05qs

I find it crazy that they reject people from being in the military for certain conditions, many such as mental illness, often result from military duty. Especially, if they are considering instituting a medical draft?

Jonathon, a man from Georgia, experienced a severe medical incident following a neck adjustment by a chiropractor. The adjustment led to a stroke, resulting in locked-in syndrome, a condition where he could no longer move or communicate verbally but remained conscious. Jonathon filed a lawsuit, arguing that the chiropractic procedure caused his condition. He won the lawsuit, with the court agreeing that the chiropractor's actions were directly responsible for the stroke and the subsequent life-altering effects.

Georgia doctors failed to diagnose his life-threatening condition. and now, he has locked-in syndrome.

Jonathan Buckelew, 34, became dizzy, disoriented and unresponsive during the chiropractor appointment. What's worse? The doctors didn't identify he was having a stroke for hours! What are your thoughts on this sad case?
