Lol who’s going to actually provide care? Who knows

The point of those places has always been to bill like an ER, not to provide services like an ER.

we went to Bath, Cirincester, Cotswolds, etc in dec 2019 just before everything went to poo poo and it was nice. had a good time despite being surrounded by the worst people (brits)

honestly london was the worst place we visited.

actually the absolute worst place ive ever visitted in europe was Liege in belgium. a shithole that makes even the rust belt or deep south seem alive

NYT Counsel had objected to his jailing because it infringed on free speech rights. Why would NYT counsel care about the free speech rights of this moron?

oh yea one of the main things that landed his rear end back in jail was leaking private messages between him and that lady to…wait for it…NYT reporters

I decided Urgent Care was a scam last time I went to one. They did nothing and charged me $200 and told me to go to a doctor. Not sure what point they have beyond appearing to be useful and in close proximity and more convenient than an ER while not actually providing any care. I remember my parents taking me to them every now and then a long time ago for things like ear aches and they didn't seem overwhelmingly lovely then. :shrug:

Their niche is that, unlike one's PCP, they can be seen without needing to schedule a visit 4 months in advance. No joke; I had to go to an urgent care today to get pinkeye eyedrops because my PCP was booked up for 4 months.

I went there with my some who was later diagnosed with pneumonia !!! and they gave him some cough drops. (50$). we only got a pneumonia diagnosis after I stood in the pediatrics office hallway and a real doctor happened to bump into me. poo poo is dire out there

I think urgent care used to do a good deal of basic stuff (like UTIs, food poisoning, or non-life threatening cuts) but basically evaporated into irrelevance during peak COVID and never fully returned. A number of locations shut down entirely.

This is what I hate somewhat the most about the tech industry. You're either a 6-10 year veteran and qualify for senior roles, or you're entry level and qualify for nothing. There's no middle and no mentoring or training, you show up knowing the system better than the people there or you're the equivelent of a new grad. Skills are not transferable, you worked on the Thingmaster 4000, we require experience in the Thingmaster 7000 Plus.

also, your interviewers will be the whitest and most sheltered smuglords of all time, and their questions are insane gotchas, and youre competing against stanford grads in this weird stack ranking thunderdome

the techbro reaction to LLMs is the creepiest poo poo ever, theyre all frothing at the mouth to worship their computer god, so loving alienating. like these dudes cant loving WAIT to replace people with computers, and worship the computers, and also gently caress the computers.

I went to one last year when I hosed up my arm, got an xray and referral to orthopedics. also got antibiotics from them a few times, but now that I have a regular doctor I can just take a picture and say "does this look infected" instead of waiting an hour at urgent care.

I was laid off in 2020 and never found a job again, I guess I was unlucky. Honestly, I think I'm giving up job hunting for another computer toucher role again, because at this point the market is not recovering imo and I can't get through a week anymore without having a screaming fit trying to get back onto food stamps.

So, uh, at the risk of being a bit doomery, anyone who got laid off recently, start planning for something else now, before you realize it's been almost a year without getting a job offer and now have to scramble.

I just, I don't want anyone else to go through what I did.

im really sorry youre having to struggle and suffer like this. my SO is trying to retrain to become a nurse practitioner for this reason. tech seems like more and more of a dead end for a lot of people who arent like, the top 10 engineers at leading "AI" companies.

healthcare may be a bottomless pit of despair, but you cant outsource it or automate it beyond a certain point. also unlike IT certs, licensing for healthcare workers is controlled by the state and 'vendor-neutral', so youre free to bounce if your employer sucks. for now.
