Our conservative run neighbour has rapid tests for free. Please take a minute to ask the @susanholtnb.bsky.social government why it is not possible for us to have the same. (That’s it)

Is this just an AI failure where it changes it's "summary" every time (since it really can't understand WHY something is important) rather than the province changing its input documents?

Wow, that's a lot of:

HOW can we do this thing and beat out others ("own the podium"?!? Seriously?!?)

and not a lot of:

SHOULD we do this.

The closest they come to questioning the SHOULD is what safeguards we should have to do this thing we are definitely going to do no matter how appropriate.

Unfortunately my gasts are in no way flabbered. NB doesn't believe in airborne transmission either and droplets are the basis for our infection control (other than the fabled "AGMP" 🤦‍♀️)

The average age of my brother's med school class was 29. You might not be much older than you think 😊

We have HEPAs running in every room (amazing for allergies too!) and wear N95s in public including elementary school and work (hospital). COVID came home once and we turned one room into a negative pressure room (box fan blowing OUT the window), N95s everywhere else in the small house and it worked

They seem to have reversed the label, at least...

How is this labeled "self-harm"??!

First time I saw a doctor admit to not knowing something, look it up in front of me, and use references to figure out what to do, I was in my 30s and had long convinced myself I wasn't "smart" enough to be a doctor since there was no way I could memorize "all of medicine". I still regret not trying.

“Data indicated that viruses were most often detected in 1–4 μm particles, signifying the presence of potential airborne/through-the-air virus transportation and inhalation hazards.

“Results showed that both clinics had similar exposure risks despite one being dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of patients exhibiting symptoms of illnesses caused by respiratory viruses.

Non-stigmatizing: The White House is clearly lying about Trump's health.

Stigmatizing: Look at this gross, unhealthy thing on this hand. Haha!!!

They should just give him the Ig Nobel and tell him it's a Nobel and that the Ig stands for Impressively Great.

I assess people's swallowing for a living and they tried to force us to use AI for reports (tests that are 90% analysis of x-ray images, 5% putting my thoughts into words, 5% typing. So not a time saver!). The trial I did came up with recommendations that were so contrary to evidence it was scary.

To @susanholtnb.bsky.social and all others running this province. Please consider giving us the tools we need to stay safe in the face of this quickly changing climate. The fact that we STILL don’t have clean air, a plan towards or mitigation measures in place instead is absurd.

We sometimes have to dig our barbeque out from several feet of snow in winter but it's worth it (not DURING a snowstorm though 😉)

You too!

I think a lot of us must be misunderstanding what you're trying to say.

As for your question, it's not a real title, unfortunately. I'm actually an SLP but specialised in swallowing. It always confuses patients when I go in and say I'm a speech-language pathologist here to assess your swallowing 😂

Who said anything about disconnecting thoughts? An inner monologue would be like thinking in words (logos meaning speech or word), which not everybody does. That doesn't mean we aren't thinking and are somehow immoral.

More like a polylogue?

Sarah Feltford @sfeltford.bsky.social · Jul 29

Nah, there's plenty going on in there, it's just not in words.

Sarah Feltford @sfeltford.bsky.social · Jul 18

Definitely. Unfortunately the increased cost comes out of the healthcare budget, not doesn't social development's budget, so they don't have as much incentive to fix the problem. (Also, it's an expensive problem to fix and nobody with power wants to recognize what really needs to be done 😔)

(ALL healthcare workers—not just doctors and nurses). But most especially IPC who still don't "believe" in airborne transmission outside of so-called and debunked AGMP. The rest of us are forced to follow the rules they make up (I had to essentially threaten to walk away to be "allowed" an N95).
