SPR still very slowly being refilled. Fed Balance sheet also very slowly being reduced. They're almost down to 7.5 trillion dollars worth of who knows....which brings us back towards March of 2021. Peak was 9 trillion in May of 2022. 7 trillion marks the July of 2020 2nd Fed spending spree....3.8 trillion represents where the financial economy completely broke - September of 2019. It's also the lowest point since Obama's Fed started their money hose in 2008.

Kreeblah posted:Yeah, I found that out a long time ago when I got severe hives from one formulation of a med but no negative effects from another. Meanwhile, trying to communicate that to anybody just results in them putting the active ingredient into the EMR for me because they have no mechanism to note an allergy to a specific formulation of a medication. thats impossible, the programmers at HN have established that computerization of healthcare is always a net benefit and has negligible downsides.

Homeless Friend posted:once had a friend who had it the other way and they gave him a .277% raise which they refused to fix lol, so he quit. They tried to beg him back while they clearly were going to train/cert the replacement so he quoted like 5x salary but they didn't take the bait alas that's also impossible, a small business owner is always qualified to manage a small business. it's their house, they're supposed to be there!

Rectal Death Alert posted:I can't find an official source because there hasn't been an official announcement yet but some Optum people are complaining on tiktok and there are various places like thelayoff.com this stuff is getting posted i went to an optum urgent care and it was the worst UC experience of my life. video receptionist, 2 nurses in the whole place. you could just tell they can't fuckin wait to throw some AI into the mix for more cost-cutting. the independent place we used to go to was so much better, adequately staffed and no cost-cutting bullshit

Urgent Care is so people who have insurance but aren't rich enough for concierge doctors can actually get appointments for non emergency stuff that aren't 3 months out.

Urgent Care is so people who have insurance but aren't rich enough for concierge doctors can actually get appointments for non emergency stuff that aren't 3 months out. ERs are unprofitable, that's why UCs are being pushed. The real profitable poo poo for hospitals is cosmetic stuff, fertility treatments, etc and the for-profit hospitals would get out of the emergency medicine business entirely if they could.
