  • one of our sister hospitals is trialing an AI that records audio of you talking through your patient assessment then creates a flowsheet column automatically. it's opt-in / the patient has to agree to it and only keeps the recording until the nurse has validated the data but it does seem strange to me.

  • What do you call the beleif that gods are just higher beings on other planes of existence?

    Jump

  • I mean we've already accepted that we don't know how big the universe is. The way physics has been going lately the universe might actually be bigger than reality.

  • if there's higher dimensions they're still part of the universe as I know it, they're just not in the parts I can perceive. There's very little useful speculation I can do in relation to the parts I can't perceive. Apparently this is called "existence monism," so this would be one of the other things in the Wikipedia theology tree. personally I would classify it as a type of Monolatry.

    It's my understanding that this is called a "rainbow herring."

  • What would you say is the most practical marshal arts to study, in terms of actual self defense?

    Jump

  • lol I actually teach violence deescalation w physical skills to inpatient psych workers and I start every class with "I don't even know any marshal arts I'm a pro at exactly 2 things: 1) running away screaming, and 2) ganging up on people, and that's what I'll be teaching you today."

  • What is your opinion on ghosting?

    Jump

  • depends. there's people who to not ghost I'd have to have to have a several hour conversion of them spam texting or attempting to interrogate me and we were never close enough for it to be my responsibility to explain their interpersonal failings to them in detail. I can't fix the world and if I spend my personal time giving every person I run into whose parents failed to teach them basic social skills an hour+ of psychosocial educational therapy, I would never get anything else done.

  • What careers did the shittiest people you know personally get into?

    Jump

  • The worst part is that it's not just that it's a position of power, it's that there's also very little else about it that's desirable. Your entire job is to show up places and tell people to stop doing things they want or feel that they need to be doing, and often that they're willing to physically attack you for interfering with. The pay is also pretty mediocre overall. So if you want overall pleasant interpersonal interactions or a decent wage, you'd have to go elsewhere. If all you want is power over other human beings, that job will be a great fit for you.

  • 👆

    and in the ways that's it's not customer service focused it's so focused on flowsheets and tracking metrics that you have to constantly consciously remind yourself that the human in front of you isn't just an object that you're doing things to. It gets to a point that you're wiping people's genitals with the same efficiency as you'll wipe down the bed when they're done with it and some patients can tolerate that well enough but then every once in a while you get someone with sexual trauma. And that's just one example.

  • we were actually taught in nursing school that sense of taste fades with age and that sugar / sweetness receptors are pretty much all that holds up after a while.
