Oh so that's where all the VA's administrative talent went:

https://www.revealnews.org/article/inside-teslas-factory-a-medical-clinic-designed-to-ignore-injured-workers/

quote:

When a worker gets smashed by a car part on Tesla’s factory floor, medical staff are forbidden from calling 911 without permission.

The electric carmaker’s contract doctors rarely grant it, instead often insisting that seriously injured workers – including one who severed the top of a finger – be sent to the emergency room in a Lyft.

Injured employees have been systematically sent back to the production line to work through their pain with no modifications, according to former clinic employees, Tesla factory workers and medical records. Some could barely walk.

The on-site medical clinic serving some 10,000 employees at Tesla Inc.’s California assembly plant has failed to properly care for seriously hurt workers, an investigation by Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting has found.

The clinic’s practices are unsafe and unethical, five former clinic employees said.

But denying medical care and work restrictions to injured workers is good for one thing: making real injuries disappear.

“The goal of the clinic was to keep as many patients off of the books as possible,” said Anna Watson, a physician assistant who worked at Tesla’s medical clinic for three weeks in August.

Watson has nearly 20 years of experience as a medical professional, examining patients, diagnosing ailments and prescribing medications. She’s treated patients at a petroleum refinery, a steel plant, emergency rooms and a trauma center. But she said she’s never seen anything like what’s happening at Tesla.

“The way they were implementing it was very out of control,” said Watson, who was fired in August after she raised her concerns. “Every company that I’ve worked at is motivated to keep things not recordable. But I’ve never seen anybody do it at the expense of treating the patient.”

Workers with chest pain, breathing problems or extreme headaches have been dismissed as having issues unrelated to their work, without being fully evaluated or having workplace exposures considered, former employees said. The clinic has turned away temp workers who got hurt on Tesla’s assembly lines, leaving them without on-site care. And medical assistants, who are supposed to have on-site supervision, say they were left on their own at night, unprepared to deal with a stream of night-shift injuries.

If a work injury requires certain medical equipment – such as stitches or hard braces – then it has to be counted in legally mandated logs. But some employees who needed stitches for a cut instead were given butterfly bandages, said Watson and another former clinic employee. At one point, hard braces were removed from the clinic so they wouldn’t be used, according to Watson and a former medical assistant.

I blame 90s teen romance comedies for some of this bullshit. Bunch of these clowns who grew up on them are in their mid 30s and still losers and now they're sucking frustrated teens into their circlejerk. Can't Hardly Wait was not a documentary you tools.

They all saw Steve Urkel as a role model in their formative years and the damage was unrecoverable. I honestly don't know how I escaped going down the same black hole.

There's a good litmus test for identifying these people, the gun buying process should include watching Pretty in Pink while being observed for any sign of sympathy toward Ducky.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/nov/16/judge-rotenberg-center-massachusetts-electric-shocks

quote:

In 2010 the Guardian was granted exceptionally rare media accessinside the school. A tour of the institution, with its bright pink and green walls and 6ft-high models of Bugs Bunny and the Wicked Witch of the West, was given by Matthew Israel, a psychologist with no medical training.

Israel came up with the idea of a punishment regime for children when he read a novel called Walden Two. The book described a fictitious utopian community in which positive behavior is encouraged and negative behavior thwarted.

From that kernel of an idea Israel began applying “aversives” on vulnerable children from 1971. Initially he began with spanking with spatulas, pinching and dousing kids with water, and from the early 1990s he switched to electric shocks, going to the lengths of designing his own electricity generator that he called the Graduated Electronic Decelerator (GED).

It wasn’t acceptable in Guantánamo Bay, but it’s apparently acceptable in a special-needs school in Massachusetts
-Laurie Ahern, DRI

For some students, Israel told the Guardian, the GED devices had to be worn long-term. He compared it to wearing glasses or hearing aids. When the Guardian visited the center one of its residents, Brandon, had been living there for 22 years and was still being shocked on average 33 times a week.
