Oh god that’s horrible. I will 100% troll my coworkers with this. We routinely play music at our workstations via youtube since most streaming services are blocked. The second they turn their back, this shit is getting added to their playlist.

Dude had an idea he thought would help; wasn’t a prideful dick when it was clear that it wasn’t helping, and shelved the idea.
Honestly, respect.

Huh. I’ve only ever seen that word in the context of anatomy, but I guess it also belongs to the cores of trees. TIL.

This is something straight out of a parody movie, and even then, it would sound absurd.
You could slap that same comment on nearly any article about Trump since his entry into politics. We live in a fucking circus.
- Comment on “Tf???” 5 days ago:
From what I’ve seen in the US, it varies a lot from one facility to another. For surgery, most of what I’ve seen the consents address the expected operation “and all other indicated procedures” that give the surgeon the discretion to add something on intraoperatively if it’s justified. That said, the facility I’m at now decidedly does NOT do that. They can add an operation on if it’s an emergency, but something like a fibular nail would require specific consent. …which they should have ahead of time, cuz imaging would make the need for one pretty obvious, but dumb shit happens and things get missed… So fast forward to the operation, patient is under, skin is cut, and circulator points out “uh, hey we only have consent for tibia…” If they have a family member available who can make decisions on the patient’s behalf, that person could give consent, but if not they’d probably just skip it and schedule it as a later surgery.
…shit can get goofy.

I got in on a total ankle replacement once!
I recall the rep referring to the sizers as “lollipop butts” …and not much else, lol.
- Comment on “Tf???” 6 days ago:
Just spitballing. Consent issue maybe? Like it only covered tibia, and the staff didn’t notice until the patient was under / couldn’t get a hold of family to have it added?
No explanation stands out as especially obvious under normal circumstances (although I’ll reiterate that ortho isn’t my specialty, so my understanding of normal here is as broken as that leg).
What do you suspect?

- Comment on “Tf???” 6 days ago:
Yeah I wasn’t thinking ankle at all. And even here and now, I’m trying to rotate my own leg while keeping the ankle rigid, and… yea it doesn’t go very far. Never really appreciated just how large a role the ankle plays there.
- Comment on “Tf???” 6 days ago:
we are talking about millimeters
No shit? I would have guessed at least like 15 degrees of rotation. I think I took the radius comparison a bit too literal.
- Comment on “Tf???” 6 days ago:
If it was that damaged and you were already doing a tibial nail, there wouldn’t really be a reason not to do a fibular nail at the same time.
Yeah… supply issue maybe? Or patient opted out due to cost?
/shrug
- Comment on “Tf???” 6 days ago:
To be clear, othopedics is not my area of expertise, so grain of salt, but to my understanding, it’s basically the radius bone, but of the leg. Aim your toes forward in the normal anatomical position; now rotate your entire foot to the left or right. That’s your fibula working. Without it, very limited rotation; but otherwise you can still walk and function mostly normally, just a bit impaired.
I have no idea how ‘chunk missing in the middle’ plays into that. Guessing you’d still have some rotation, but without a secure anchor point, it wouldn’t be great.
- Comment on “Tf???” 6 days ago:
Um… so looking at the tibia, that is 100% an intramedullary tibial nail:
…which means their tibia was broken as fuck, and there’s a pretty hefty chance the fibula was also broken as fuck in that same injury.
My guess is the missing segment was fragmented to the point of not being saveable, and removed during the same operation the IM nail was placed.
That doesn’t necessarily mean the OP is bullshit - maybe they had some new resident docs, or nurses, or techs or w/e who hadn’t seen that before and it was a genuine wtf moment for them. I love it when new staff get that look!
- Comment on “Tf???” 6 days ago:
Doctors would do no such thing!
…they’d actually just waltz around the hospital with whatever fell onto the OR floor still stuck to their shoe, tracking chunks of it all over the fucking place until some some crusty 70 y/o nurse chews him out while swatting him with today’s word search from the news paper.
Pretty routine stuff, really.

You can take one for the team here: go there at 9a, walk a bit, collapse while trying to find somewhere to sit, then sue the fuck out of the state/county for discriminating against the infirm.
You get a pay day, hostile architecture gets treated as a liability instead of a solution. Win win!

Loud. Looks like there are similar-sized battery powered bolt butters that’ll do the job much quieter. Bonus points if you cut the tab the lock is attached to vs the lock itself. Make it require an actual repair and not just a lock replacement.

Tbh, I think I’d prefer no architecture to hostile architecture.

Do not say that to a cop. If it’s taken as threatening, they can use that justification to escalate. And if it can be taken as threatening, it will be.
“I don’t consent to any searches, but you have my full cooperation with any action you feel you have probable cause to do.” “Why?” “I’d prefer not to elaborate without a lawer present. Am I free to go?”
Lots of ‘sir, ma’am, please, thank you’ etc; if they ask for your ID and it’s in your purse, say something like “It’s in a wallet in my purse, I’m reaching in to get it” (and do so slowly) but otherwise say as little as possible.

There’s an on-the-go version that’s super compact! Instead of stone, which is porous / relatively high concentration of air, these ones are made out of lead to get all that pie in as small a container as possible. It even comes wrapped in a tiny little pot for you to cook it in - you just tap the back while pointing it at a deserving world leader and *boom!* it delivers a tiny, hot pie right to their face!
- Comment on We can all agree on this 3 weeks ago:
Yeah they don’t give a damn if we bring our own devices, so long as we don’t plug it into the computers. I’d guess you’re right about IT’s response to the VM, but I’d kind of intrigued at the same time, so I might dig a bit and ask them anyway. Worse case, they say no - no biggie.
This is definitely not a fly under the radar kind of situation though - getting caught in a HIPAA violation is a guaranteed loss of job and license, probably a gigantic fine, and… possibly prison time? High stakes for an ad blocker lol. Anything techy outside of our normal work responsibilities (like a VM) would need to start with getting approval in writing.
…more realistically, I think my best option is going to be a small bluetooth speaker and one of those thin cable locks to secure it to my work station. I don’t want any wearables since I’d need to take those into patient rooms, which would look unprofessional at best; and become biohazardous at worst. I can have some soft tunes on while I chart, but otherwise forget it’s there when I’m doing more hands-on care.
