#Patient Connection

[southtexasprovidersnetwork]

Patient engagement has become a critical aspect of modern healthcare, and one way to facilitate this is through the use of a healthcare directory in Edinburg, Texas. By listing your practice in such a directory, you ensure that patients can easily find you when they need care. This increased visibility leads to more patient interactions and fosters trust, as patients are more likely to choose providers they can find quickly and easily.

Empathy is not merely a concept but a guiding principle that shapes the very essence of nursing practice. In this fast-growing town, which is well-known for its booming home healthcare industry, empathy plays a critical role in the provision of care. Beyond the clinical procedures and treatment plans, nurses in home healthcare in Bakersfield, California understand the importance of connecting with patients on a human level.

Random DP x DC Thought #9:

The fight was desperately going on against the villains near a newly located Lazarus Pit, but despite the heroes best efforts they couldn't prevent one of their own suffering a fatal injury.

Per usual desperation to avoid having to go through life with that loss, the dead person is placed into the Lazarus Pit for revival. (The cost of a bout of possible madness could be dealt with, and at the very least it would remove another one of the pits from the world).

Except this time when the revived person comes back out of the waters, the Lazarus Pit doesn't leave. Shrinks certainly, but still roils and churns before a large, glowing creature with white fur looms over all those gathered. Their blue cape flutters slightly as it floats up above the waters.

"Greetings, I am Frostbite of the Far Frozen. I have come to request-"

A head of white hair and glowing green eyes pops up from behind the being's shoulder.

about suppressed emotions, downplayed heartaches, and the expectations to remain stoically self reliant without the community and connection needed to help open the paths away from isolated self destruction.

are u rocking with eternalholly

Not really... but I think the potential is there!

I won't lie, it hasn't really bitten me the same way shadowvanilla did. I think the thing about Hollyberry's chapters that's drawing me in the most is Hollyberry herself. I find the exploration of Hollyberry's alcoholism, its relation to her being a neglectful mother + ruler, and her possible self worth issues far more interesting than any ship. I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing how that resolves in ch 10.

I think I'm having trouble finding an interesting dynamic between them just yet because we don't know enough about Eternal Sugar. The main appeal to me with beast x ancient ships is the "you are the only one who understands" mentality; they are all literally soulmates (not necessarily romantically), and that divine, irresistible connection is what draws me in, but I don't think we've seen the empty part of Eternal Sugar's struggle that Hollyberry is meant to fill just yet. Based on the little bit of her past we saw, I definitely think there's potential! But as of right now, I only see it as exactly how its presented in canon: Eternal Sugar is obsessed with Hollyberry for specifics we don't yet know, and Hollyberry just wants out (still a fantastic dynamic).

Also just as a personal preference for shipping, I LOOOOOVE a slowburn. That's why shadownilla was so good for me, because it was set up a year ago irl, and AGES ago in fiction (and in my ideal world, it would take them ages beyond where they left off in canon before they approached anything resembling a real relationship). They had a lotta time to cook. But with eternalholly, because Hollyberry is only just now becoming aware of Eternal Sugar's existence, it doesn't really hit the same for me

I am so interested in Mel’s character arc/development over the coming seasons of the Pitt. Particularly because I think her ability to lead with compassion and have others follow suit will be central to her story.

We saw two examples of this in the first season already. With Terrence, where her compassionate/connection-focused approach literally stops Langdon in his tracks. His engagement with/perspective on Terrence shifts by the time he’s discharged and that is no small feat. The second example is the MCI when Mel pushes Robby to let her donate o neg when supply is critically low. She donates, others then do the same–specifically Abbot(t) who is an attending and one of the most senior people on the floor. It’s a quiet but powerful choice and it saves lives. She grew in confidence over the course of the MCI, and it results in moments of leadership that lead to tangible outcomes.

The central tension(?) going forward and a story that would be urgent to explore is, how does someone like Mel maintain her compassion/sensitivity/earnestness/vulnerability/what have you in an environment that tests the limits of people’s grit/resilience. We know (based on background info from the show runners/actor) that Mel is no stranger tragedy and grief. She would have every right to be burnt out, cagey, closed off, etc. Yet she maintains her vulnerability and leverages her compassion to be a good fucking doctor. Her neurodivergence may facilitate her ability to access and protect parts of herself that will be essential to surviving life in the Pitt. I hope it will also result in her becoming an (unexpected) source of leadership/direction in the coming seasons. I love Langdon/mel and look forward to watching their relationship blossom; and also, Mel is a fascinating character in her own right and that deserves exploration.

But (to quote Heather Collins), what the fuck do I know?

So I've always had this head canon about how Wednesday has this reverse Morticia eyes effect (from Addams Family Values) where, instead of there being light shined dramatically over her eyes, Wednesday's face completely darkens to a very unnatural degree whenever she's feeling particularly homicidal! I wrote a bit where Yoko tried to test it out by shining a flashlight directly into Wednesday's face. Needless to say it did not go well haha. But yeh I'm adding this to my ding dang fic when I finally get around to it lol

The famous Morticia eyes from the movies:

there’s such an interesting overlap with sociology and healthcare. like the difference in the way people from different ethnicities and cultures interact with healthcare systems is so evident and the way things like cultural values, beliefs and language barriers affects health outcomes and population health. I feel like there’s so much work that could be done there. I would actually love to go into policy or public health

A generic response to people who call Mormonism "a cult":

your desire to help others is very admirable and greatly appreciated! Unfortunately, calling someone's beliefs a "cult" without doing enough research to understand the real harm that cults do to individuals or examining whether the beliefs they hold to actually qualify under those harmful practices, beliefs, and methods of control is likely to be more damaging both to that individual and to their willingness to consider your point of view than just expressing concern for them as a human being. Please consider using your words more carefully and perhaps not applying the concept of something defined by "isolation from the outside world and a high degree of control over members' lives" to a church where you can literally just stop showing up any time you want! (That's what it means to become inactive in the LDS church-- you decided to stop going. Many people do it for years or decades at a time, or even the rest of their lives! It is not hard to do.) It is so minimizing to actual victims of cults when this comparison is made and it's very important that if you care enough to want someone to change their perspective on a thing that they value, you need to keep in mind that using insulting or degrading language toward that thing is in fact more likely to result in that person deciding to value it even harder!

He picks up the cloth rag, trying not to feel its dampness—to keep everything that grounds him to the present away.

The movements are almost mechanical now, given how many times he's done this. Perhaps too many. But cleaning Stanley always gave him peace. As if he could trick his mind into believing what he's doing is good. For Stanley's good. Bringing him back to life.

He will. Everything will be well when he does, this is for Stan's good—

He slowly drags the cloth over the arms first. Easiest to start with. The stitches from last month healed well, and only the faded scars remain in their wake, adding to the collection of old and new. Scars. (Oh my god so many scars)

If—when— Stanley wakes up, he will ask. Ask about every scar and its story. Ten years they've been apart. Ten years of pain Ford doesn't know. Ten years he couldn't be there for.

He covers the arms back up and starts going to the main body.

He tries to be a professional; covers every spot he isn't washing with a large sheet—an old bedsheet he cleaned and sterilized. This is a professional task and he doesn't want Stan to feel embarrassed.

He dips the cloth back into the soapy water, squeezes and repeats the motion, trying to move in circles and not rub too hard

He maneuvers around the stomach carefully. Recent procedures made the skin swollen and sensitive, and he's too afraid to cause Stan more pain. More than what's already necessary.

Because he's not dead, just in a very weak state. Right?

Because this is a medical test for Ford. That's all this is. And he's going to ace it. Just a test and when he will pass and get his brother back.

Simple.

He tries to remove the dried blood near the incision by the kidneys.

Wring the towel. Dip it back the clean water. Repeat

So. Ive been kind of turning this au around in my head like a rotisserie chicken bc i obviously want to keep as many details as possible consistent with canon, but also that is kind of impossible given the massive leaps in technology between mouthwashing’s distant future and. Well. 1917. So what happens is that i figure their platoon is being court-martial’d for something (maybe cowardice/refusal to follow orders? For getting stuck up in the mountain bunker?) and Jimmy suggests blowing up the bunker theyre in so that they would have solid evidence that it wasnt their fault. Curly, still reeling, agrees, not thinking it would go anywhere, but Jimmy nabs the explosives from swansea and goes through with it anyways.

…more ramblings below v

Jimmy, in this au, was aware that Anya is trans before they were even stationed together, and becomes aware that Curly may be an invert (which, historically, means that he is not only queer, but adopts the ‘woman’s role’. This phenomena of inverts being treated more harshly than their more ‘manly’ counterparts is supported by history! Fun fact) while on the Ypres frontline. He is resentful towards Curly because how can a supposed invert, someone whom he has been taught is less than half of the man Jimmy himself is, be such a well-loved leader and well-rounded man? Why is Jimmy so drawn to him? Why does he still respect and even love this ‘man’? What does that say about his own masculinity?

The cognitive dissonance is too much for his weak, spiteful, hateful little pea brain and he feels like he is losing what little control he had over his own masculinity and understanding of the social world to begin with. This leads him to assault anya and, added with the stress of a court-martial, blow the bunker up.

I figure they give Curly what little chloroform they have in the medical kit to keep him asleep until they run out/it starts making him too sick and are forced to start giving him soothing syrup and gin in large doses. Anya and Curly had something of a mutual understanding/budding friendship before the incident, both having had a sense about the other, which makes Curly’s subsequent inaction suck all the more. He understands Anya better than anyone else there, so why didnt he do anything? Anya doesn’t understand, and she never gets to ask. She still takes extreme care in tending his wounds though, and will often go to his bedside and tell him stories/play cards with him (and by that i mean play cards by herself and narrate her strat)

I also figure the whole thing happens over a matter of days as opposed to months because. You know. 1917. But anyways. If anyone wants to talk about this w me/add on to it, any musings are more than welcome!! I love queer and ww1 history :) see tags for more tidbits❤️
