My city's wastewater data hasn't updated since July 28th, right before our population tripled with university students coming back. If it doesn't update with the state dashboard tomorrow I'm gonna try emailing to see what's up. My gut suspicion is that, since we only started getting data for it 11 months ago, that it was one year of funding that expired. Here's hoping I'm just being pessimistic...

So I got my MRI, had to take off my Vflex and they had no surgical so I raw dogged it. Then apparently they messed up my IV so they injected the contrast into not a vein and it burned like the dickens. I mashed the alert button but the MRI tech said that was normal and it took me 5 minutes to convince them it was not normal because I’ve had it before. They went and asked the radiologist and all of a sudden there’s several new unmasked people in the room telling me to sign some document and that this happens sometimes just ice it down when you get home. They re-IV the other arm and complete the MRI and glad to get out of the maskless hellhole.

It's actually much better if <10% of people have an immune susceptibility to long covid and they're the only ones who get really hosed up no matter how many times everyone else gets infected, because then we just have to condemn like six or seven hundred million people to a disabling chronic illness and early death and its back to normal, sorry you dead men walking but brunch is on the other trolley track and i hit that switch so hard i broke it

there was a good moment when she was telling me my body would absorb the saline and contrast and when I asked what organ removes MRI contrast from the body, she said the Kidneys and then had an “oh” look on her face

I'm p good with calculating odds. But everyone's eyes glaze over when you do the actual calculation. Sometimes it's easier just to do the 10%+10%+10% thing.

Getting yourself quoted in a paper doing that though.... gently caress.

can’t wait for our resident healthcare malpractice minimizer to come in and tell you that, actually, mri contrast administered incorrectly has never been shown to cause any harm to anyone ever.

I'd think most hospitals are going to have indemnification documents or whatever on hand at a moment's notice. Honestly more surprising they didn't have them signed in advance.

You'd think that anything signed *while bad thing is actually happening* wouldn't be binding. There's an implicit threat there.

In any case, good luck goon.

The Baltic battlegroup is having manning issues because of the number of troops reporting to sick parade every morning and then going on sick leave. The cause of this illness is, not a joke, "unclear".

lol if they accuse the Russians of biological warfare or something over this.
