The nurses all love when Jim is the on call ER doctor cause he doesn’t take any shit. I remember this 19 year old kid came in and said he had a toothache and Jim was just like, are you kidding me? And shot him.

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 40 points 2 days ago

I heard one time Jim gave a patient six months to live... the patient claimed he didn't have insurance and would never pay him in time, so Jim gave him 9 months.

[–] TomMasz@piefed.social 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

One time I went to Jim and told him it hurt when I moved my arm a certain way. So he kicked me in the knee. It hurt so much I forgot all about my arm. Then he charged me $15,000.

That's one way to escape Epstein's island.

I hate this story. If this was true he performed medical procedure based on incorrectly obtained consent.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

This is called "a joke".
It didn't actually happen.

[–] ideonek@piefed.social 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

No it fucking isn't. While I agree (and hope) that it is most likely fake I'm fairly certain, that it was intended to to farm wholesomness and other warm feelings. If you laugh after reading this, you need to examine if you don't have some empathy deficit disorder.

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 53 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"I explained to him it was a matter of life and death" Nah bro it sounds like you failed to explain properly

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Are you accusing the meme of not really telling the truth?

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

Its a caution directed at Jim Clark for when he inevitably comes through lemmy and sees his own LinkedIn post: please re-assess your proficiency at talking to children, Dr Clark!

When does a hospital casually not have O- blood

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago (9 children)

It’s hard to get people to donate blood at all, and O is the rarest type. It probably happens a lot. And if they’re out of something else, O is universal blood so maybe some gets used for a guy with AB-. But people with O can only take O.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 days ago

Probably depends on the hospital too. A 19 bed hospital in Vermont probably doesn't keep that much O blood. So if the community experiences some kind of event, it's probably easy for them to run out quickly.

[–] JoshuaFalken@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (5 children)

To further this, the negative and positive value also matters. Someone with a negative type can only take negative blood, whereas a positive type can accept both.

Here's a little chart:

I wish it were easier to get people to donate. Just this morning I heard a radio advertisement for the blood service that included the line 'please schedule and attend an appointment', which seems wild that so many people book a time then don't show up.

[–] Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

That chart is overcomplicated.
There are 3 independent markers. A, B, and +.
Blood can have A or not, B or not, and + or not. When the body doesn't have the marker, it will react to the marker.

So when you have notA, and get A blood, you will have a reaction.
notA blood works for everyone, A blood only for A people. A people can take any blood, notA people only notA blood.

Now do this independently for the 3 markers. AB+ people have all markers so can take any combination. notAnotBnot+ people make blood everyone can take, since there are no markers, but they can't take any other blood with any markers.

Unfortunately we call not+ -, notAnotB O, notAB B, and AnotB A. So + we invert properly but for A and B we omit them and instead of emptystring when no marker is present we invent O, presumably for 0 markers. This obfuscates the pattern.

[–] BlackPenguins@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

This is not complicated? When we entered XOR or NAND or whatever gates I checked out. Give me the chart.

[–] JoshuaFalken@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

You're preaching to the choir here.

The chart is for people that have never tried to sing.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

Not gonna lie to you my friend, but the chart was 15 times easier to understand than your explanation, which however gave some more insight

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

It just feels so gross that the blood must be donated (I get why for that part) to some rich fuckwad medical conglomerate that will sell it for a few thousand dollars of profit.

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

‘please schedule and attend an appointment’, which seems wild that so many people book a time then don’t show up. Yeah that's fucked, lol

I'm surprised to hear that america has a shortage of donors because i heard that the UK buys blood from America due to our own shortage of donors.

[–] JoshuaFalken@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

From the United States perspective, less blood in reserve drives up prices for the population, so it seems to jive with healthcare as a whole there. I know Canada was buying plasma from them as well in the before times, but I'm not sure about that any more.

Several new plasma donation clinics have opened up to collect from people with more common blood types. It's interesting to hear the UK ships blood in from the west at all. I would have figured there would be closer options available. Unless Brexit also made that more difficult too.

I understand the necessity of shipping blood around, but it sure would be nice if everywhere had enough donors to keep the blood in country. Though I suppose even in such a utopia, gold blood would still be sent around the world when necessary.

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I wish that wouldn’t happen… does it really seem wild though? People skip all kinds of appointments without calling.

[–] JoshuaFalken@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Most appointments are to have something done to a person's own benefit. Chiropractic, dental, accountant, that sort of thing. Making an appointment to donate blood to a person you'll never meet is a type of selflessness that surprises me when I hear of people missing those appointments.

Someone at the clinic I go to once mentioned they had two or three missed appointments every day. I don't know, I suppose I take it more seriously than most, but it strikes me as an odd thing to miss. Especially when the service here calls two days before an appointment to confirm.

They keep mixing it up with their buckets of spaghetti-O’s

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

0- is in high demand because its universal donor; ER's will use it when a patient needs blood before their blood type is established. Afaik ER's do run out of O- sometimes after mass shootings.

Its odd to not have it available for a (possibly planned) surgery where the doctor is talking to a kid brother (which seems like a hospital visit convo).

I demand a full investigation into this...

My porno scavenging ex step sister in law used to donate blood every 3 moons but one day she just kind of stopped. When we would ask her why she stopped giving blood she told us it's because she watched inspector gadget and he told her that if she kept donating blood she wouldn't get $25.41 to buy some book called Gary Potter and the platypus hymens from some guy she used to scavenge porno with who lives down the street. So many lives lost because she never gave blood again.
