In 2011 I had a well-sourced story on medical students doing unauthorized gynecological exams on unconscious patients without consent and we didn't publish it at a major women's mag because my boss, whose husband was a new doctor, said "He told me that doesn't happen."

Texas fire department helps ICE detain roofers—using tower ladder truck that should be reserved for local emergency.
Agents grab at workers' legs to yank them off multi-story house—even using pepper spray atop roof.

they're still teaching new graduate emergency department nurses that excited delirium is a real thing they will encounter on a regular basis. there is still such a total disconnect between the hard work being done to end the use of the fake dx and the reality on the ground.
