"Beating people up in little rooms…he knew where that led. And if you did it for a good reason, you’d do it for a bad one. You couldn’t say ‘We’re the good guys’ and do bad-guy things."

On a less facetious note, when comparing Paediatric and Older Adult files, I do see Paediatric patients coming in supported by their dads. Not as much as mums, but it does happen. I can count the number of Older Adults patients supported by their sons on the fingers of no hands.

Hey, so, for babies, getting around the house by hanging on to furniture is called "furniture cruising", but for Older Adults, it's "furniture walking". Fuck that, I'm calling it "cruising" for old people, too.

He’s the best sleuth there is, but thanks to the crippling emotional damage inflicted by the murder of his wife, he’s unable to leave his hot tub. Thanks to the help of his faithful assistant in both finding clues and inviting suspects, he catches killers. J’ACCUZZI, coming this fall to ABC

This is interesting, because while everything about it is absurdly disrespectful, it sets quite a high price on the training value of a novel (if you make a rough equivalence about work done) to use as a benchmark for (say) future litigation.

A medical centre website I just had to use for work has a page entitled "Our Compassionate Staff", which just makes me wonder if there's another one somewhere called "Our Staff who have Just Fucking Had Enough".

This morning, my manager put up a bunch of AI transcription mistakes and got us to play "guess what this should be". So I guess there is a use for AI in medicine, and it's as a team-bonding exercise?

First thought about the election date: November 7 is right when a lot of university students (mostly first time voters) will be finishing up and heading home for the summer. It’s really important to make sure your young people know what to do if they are out of their electorate on election day.
