I am imagining the world of trouble I'd get in if I lied on my charting, especially for a med error. Hell, an accident could get me fired, a deliberate lie leading to a death would probably get me stripped of my license. So "oops I lied, oh well, everyone does it look" defense isn't playing out so well. E: something that didn't reach the patient would get me a talking to, at least, and we'd be trying to figure out how to fix it so it doesn't happen again. Actually lying is just...hosed up. That is and should be a criminal offense.

Obdicut posted:Ah that actually makes sense, possibly. In that case, all that means is that she used some amount of marijuana at some point. You get a similar effect if someone used marijuana in the past but then starts losing a lot of weight. However, that means that this report is basically meaningless, and if THC levels post-mortem are meaningless why did they even do a test for it? Look at her booking video that was posted in that article. She is not loving high, she's upset and possibly crying??? This is just weird. RaySmuckles posted:Marijuana!?

If you sassed a doctor and he responded by murdering you on the operating table, you wouldn't see anyone lining up to go "well it sure wasn't smart to sass a doctor, they're only human too, expect to get your life wrecked if you do that, black people"

And the test is probably standard, what is weird is that it came back the way it did and created more questions than answers. Unless you just say: "oh, she was a pothead and therefore a menace to society." I guess a lot of people believe that crap and quit thinking right there, because it is easy and doesn't require extra effort.

I work in the safety and training industry, but I can't make any kind of little white lie that can actually cause damage (like someone getting a certification card they weren't supposed to have and wrecking a building with their crane). Even then, if I were to point blank lie to the boss or be caught falsifying any paperwork I would be gone. Not subject to criminal charges, but I would no longer be working there ever again.

I can't believe there are people arguing that lying in an official police report shouldn't be a fireable offense. If I lied to a police officer when talking in person, that's a crime (potentially a felony) and I could be arrested for it. But somehow its ok if police lie in official reports, because well, everyone does it?

Do you really want a doctor who wouldn't steal your pain medicine in order to give it to his own mother to support her habit? It's his own mother, I guess you want doctors to be inhuman monsters. If a doctor isn't willing to steal my kidneys and cover it up to save his sister's life, then I don't want him anywhere near me.

That's a horrible comparison. The better comparison is going to the ER. And ER docs have to deal with drunk, belligerent, schizophrenic, abusive, and just plain rude patients all the time. And by and large they don't let it impact their care of the person because they're professionals who have a responsibility to care for people even if those people are shitheads. Sure, they have feelings, but as adults and professionals, they care a lot more about doing their job, adhering to the ethics of their profession, than they do about their fee-fees getting hurt. Why is it different for cops? Edit: Like, the doctor might say something snappy, or he might write a rude thing on the chart, or he might complain about it to the nurse, but he's not going to sign the guy up for an unnecessary enema or not give him the drug he needs in order to just gently caress with him because the guy was mean to him. Doing that will get you sanctioned very quickly. semper wifi posted:What if your mom was black though, you'd be cool with anything up to murder then, right? No? What a weird thing to say.

I thought saying people angry that police let one of their fellow co-workers murder a woman as sociopaths because they didn't understand how humans don't want to hurt their friends was fairly obscene but straight up saying that letting your friends and family get away with crimes as some kind of job perk is pretty . If the laws are that poo poo that you can let some people straight up ignore them why do we care about enforcing them at all?

What's with these black women dying in jails and making the police look bad? http://www.lohud.com/story/news/2015/07/28/woman-dies-mount-vernon-holding-cell/30773979/ quote:Herman Turner said he sat in court all day Monday until about 4 p.m. waiting for his wife's arraignment. edit: Left out the interesting part: quote:State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has sent investigators from his new team tasked with probing police-involved deaths to Westchester County, spokesman Eric Soufer said. The case is one of the first Schneiderman’s office has examined since Gov. Andrew Cuomo named him special prosecutor earlier this month, granting him the power to investigate and — if necessary — prosecute police officers involved in the death of an unarmed civilian.

DARPA posted:What's with these black women dying in jails and making the police look bad? Its a combo of people in law enforcement using low hanging fruit to charge people that don't walk/talk/act like them with bullshit/out-right lie and look the other way if they are "one of them". Heck this thread is a pretty good example of it ("Did they use a SAMHSA Certed Lab?" *Person claiming to practice law lies and says they did* "I'd let mommy and daddy drive drunk because they are my family!" *From a guy who rabidly protects police interest). It's also why you need to discipline the people who do it. You can implement any rule you like but if you have nothing but chucklefucks who will ignore enforcing the rules then there is no point in making them. It's also why people like that are big on "policy" change instead of holding the actual person responsible. If they are the gate keepers on the policy enforcement they can keep the same retards without doing a thing and when you call them on it they go "we put in the rules you asked..and shucks darn they ain't workin". The reality is that place like Healthcare and the FAA/DOT as well as myriads maintain a safe level of integrity and weed out people who don't. It's about time we asked that law enforcement & those who support it be held to the same standard.

Yeah when people in law enforcement ignore rules and laws, saying "well we need to just patch up some holes in the system" really isn't very comforting. This country has a huge boner for authoritarianism and massively punishing people that commit the slightest of transgressions but suddenly when authority figures themselves do it, we need to be extra careful and lenient since they are only human after all. Whoever said there needs to be a license to be a LEO was spot on. Get that revoked and you never work as a cop again.

http://www.democracynow.org/2015/5/20/sgt_james_brown_26_survived_twoquote:Newly released video has revealed the dying moments of an African-American active-duty soldier who checked himself into the El Paso, Texas, county jail for a two-day sentence for driving under the influence, and died while in custody in 2012. Authorities claimed Sgt. James Brown died due to a pre-existing medical condition, but shocking new video from inside the jail raises new questions about what happened. The video shows guards swarming on top of him as he repeatedly says he can’t breathe and appears not to resist. By the end of the video, he is shown naked, not blinking or responding, his breathing shallow. Attorneys say an ambulance was never called. Brown was eventually brought to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His family had long suspected foul play in his death but received little information from authorities. They’ve now filed a lawsuit against El Paso County saying his constitutional rights were violated. Support Our Troops!

I see it is being released; however, has the DA announced his charging decision yet? I know DAs do it all the time, but the defense attorney in me hates it.

This is a terrible analogy. Again: The equivalent would be a doctor prescribed an unnecessary test. withholding painkillers from someone they thought was in real pain for no medical reason would come close--this is lovely behavior, but withholding drugs from people you actually think are just drug-seeking is not. ER docs have to put up with drunk, belligerent, assholic patients all the time, and they do so while giving them standard of care and not enacting petty power trips. A doctor who actually was loving with patients would be a gigantic liability risk. One who delivered substandard care to patients because of personal affront would be called on the carpet. You are trying to hold cops to a lower standard than a barista is held to. quote:I just like to give that guy a hard time about his aiding and abetting what was essentially a murder (with a bonus attempted murder thrown in) because the potential beneficiary was black and poor.
