Full story is he was fired for not coming out for drinks after work and was therefore considered "not fun" / "boring" and he successfully sued to be get his job back via the right to be boring.

Also, the firm was encouraging extremely unprofessional behavior like sexual jokes and pranks, offensive nicknames for coworkers, and putting up photoshopped pictures and memes of employees in offices. He didn't want to get involved in constant after-work benders and sharing beds with colleagues to spank them so they got pissed.

OK so after a little googling it was a hospice not a nursing home and he was already dying of severe frostbite and both his feet were necrotic. So still a horrible breach of medical ethics but not quite as Misery-esque as it sounded.

e: frostbite from before he got there, to be clear.

I mean not to drag this out further, but why not wait till he was you know, dead? Why cut off a living man's foot?

The frostbite does change things slightly; not so much ethically, of course, but practically. Far less to worry about in terms of blood loss and nerve damage when you're cutting off a necrotic foot than with a healthy one. Still absolutely loving potty, though.

I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume that her motives for amputating his food weren't purely to do with getting his foot; I assume she also thought she might've been helping him. (Or perhaps I'm just being naïve.)

If the feet are getting necrotic then they might rot too much before he dies, I guess?

True statement: necrotic tissue is often removed by a doctor
Also true: in a time of major crisis any health provider might need to act as a doctor
Therefore in a very deranged mind: why even wait?

It's one of these, I don't see any reasonable route to escalating to an untrained amputation as a hospice nurse just wanting to help someone. It's just way too horrific and involved for an average person to go to without having some sort of major issue.

Die Rettung fuer die Landwirte:
The FT hasn't painted a flattering image of Brexit, but this opinion piece is just hilarious.

quote:

Barack Obama famously said “don’t do stupid stuff”. (Actually, he said something even stronger.) This is always good advice. It is particularly good advice for today’s UK. It would be wonderful if it could start doing sensible stuff. But one must keep one’s hopes in check. It should, however, surely be possible to stop doing really stupid stuff.

[...]

I have little hope that this government will do anything much positive before the next general election, particularly in the midst of an energy and inflation crisis. But it is not too much to ask it to stop doing stupid things. So, do not consider regulatory changes unless they will clearly be for the better. Do not promise control over migration you cannot deliver. Do not stick to the option of divergence on food standards, which makes resolving the issue of Northern Ireland so intractable. But do try hard to preserve the ability of our scientists to co-operate closely with their European peers. And, not least, do stop the endless barking by the British bulldog.

Tackling big problems may now be impossible. But, even though the government is now in a deep hole, it can at least stop digging it deeper.

"Please stop being stupid, I beg you" on the front page of the FT? :discourse:

At this point the advice should be "stop trying to raise the corpse of Margret Thatcher with a mass sacrifice of poor people, that is not how it works and the devil is upset you're trying to snatch his bride."
