So.. suddenly the pre populated vital signs in my EPIC notes are showing LMP. Physicians. Do not comply. I suggest using 1/1/1873 or 1/1/1973. You know why.

The weather channeled my mood today. Dark, cold and moody.

So… based upon the results of the past month, watching the Great British Baking Show and stress eating will not be safe or sustainable coping mechanisms

The reason given was to “allow for public comment”. However, the comment sections for feb and upcoming meetings are CLOSED. It was never about seeking public comment.

I seek things to watch that do not feed into a spiraling sense of anger and frustration. Don’t feel great about humanity at the moment. But this was what I needed. Friendship, family and legacy. Worth an hour.

We are in the worst influenza season since 2017-18. More people have died from influenza than Covid which is a first. Estimated 33 million ill, 430000 hospitalized and 19000 deaths. This includes 86 pediatric deaths. Yep- i mask. In hospital and out.

Part 2: In 2019 researchers at UMN demonstrated ~40% loss of innate immunity after contracting measles. It’s like contracting HIV. So the patient may survive but the family goes broke and the child has increased risk of death and illness.

The Texas Dept of State Health Services update is here! 90 confirmed cases of measles, 18% hospitalized. At the beginning of the week we were at 58. Studies of the 1990 epidemic in California revealed an average hospital stay of 5 days costing ~8,000$- in the 1990’s. (Part 1)

Following up on my previous.. accommodations I have written letters for in the past: a chair to work a register, a water bottle at their register, a sit to stand desk, storage for medications. I feel like many have wandered this world with their eyes closed.

This is an infant feeding room. It is considered an accommodation. We cannot forget that this administration has worked to make any deiA unrequired and argued to have them revoked.

So I guess I need to brush up on diagnosing previously suppressed diseases.

Sometimes I need to just go outside and stand in the quiet to stop the screaming in my head
