I can't believe all this time, we have been walking over a piece of history.

Miles: Admiral Oser, you see before you - the Dendarii. Drink us in.

Oser: There’s five hundred of you.

Miles: Are there though? Count again.

Oser: Not five hundred.

Miles: Five.

Oser: Right. Well… that’s unfortunate. I should probably speak to catering.

Currently reading Saving Lives: Why the Media's Portrayal of Nursing Puts Us All At Risk

And it occurred to me that if you don't work in a hospital or have never been in a hospital, there is literally no way you would know what nurses even do.

And, I mean, by extension you don't know what doctors do either, because most of what they do on TV shows is what nurses do in real life. Why would a doctor based in a hospital place a catheter or IV line? Manage a seizure? Manage pain or nausea? Code a patient (like, normally a doc is there, but they technically don't have to be unless the problem requires a surgical fix)? Assess a patient more than once a day? Talk patients and family into remaining in the hospital for treatment despite the immense social and financial burdens of doing so?

We follow orders, but we also generally have to beg for those orders using objectively convoluted paging and messaging systems that take upwards of 10 minutes to send a simple text to the right person (especially things like pain and nausea meds, psych meds, urinary retention orders, diet orders, home medications, etc...).

Not to downplay doctors, because they are really important to the hospital ecosystem, but they're (generally) not the ones actually doing much of the care, and people need to understand that. The writers of hospital shows wouldn't have to make so much stuff up if they just added nurses to their shows. Just saying.

And I, like the author of this book Sandra Summers definitely believe this is a problem, because it really, really does contribute to a lack of nursing professionals in the world today and a massive staffing crisis that was in existence long before covid was a thing. What do nurses do? Who knows! Better not go into that field because it both seems really boring and what if you don't end up liking it?

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen about the whole Musk Twitter Event because imagine being so bad that John Green, the man who was famously run off Tumblr by literal maniacs editing his post to a serenade to cocks in the Green Cock Incident, considers Twitter to be The Worst Site, ie worse than Tumblr. Insane

 - Very good.
