Oh god, Cindy. The poor kid. That's terrifying. I would be screaming down the sky, although probably in the back room.

The status is NOT quo.
Cindy, I am so sorry. I can't even imagine your rage. I truly hope he's now able to recover.

Cindy I am so sorry you all have had this on top of what is already a stressful situation. Truly scary and rage inducing.

Yikes Cindy, that's scary!! I'm glad it seems to have worked out ok though? I hope he feels better soon.
I went out for tacos my last night in town and ran into a couple id met in class last week, who are biking around the country and eventually South America. So that was fun—got their insta so I could follow them, and we had tacos and then ice cream. Tomorrow I fly to Bogota, and Tuesday to hooooooome!!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
But there really REALLY should have been a protocol in place, or an alert in his medical record that would pop up to say Hey, this patient is an abdominal surgery patient and this dosage is really wrong.
Jacqueline said the same thing. As soon as you put the dosage into the computer it should have popped up with "Are you SURE?!" warnings that you had to override.

Cindy, may your boy have a speedy and full recovery.

Ugh. Anyone have suggestions on how to get the neighbors to stfu? The "rules" of this place say quiet after 9pm but they've been playing louuuuuuuud music since long before then. I went over twice to ask them to turn it down, they refused. I sent WhatsApp messages to the after hours contact, no answer. Not pleased. Sadly my apartment didn't come with speakers so I can't blast country music at 7am or anything.

OMG Cindy! I can't even imagine how terrifying yet infuriating this is! I'm glad he's doing better, but I'm definitely joining every one on the WTF!?!?! train.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Cindy, I can't even imagine your anger and rage at this point. I am so sorry you all had to go through this. And yes, someone absolutely should be hold accountable for this.
As for dealing with anger and emotions, I found that regular exercise and having a friend that owns a free standing punching bag help me. But I guess that therapy should also be a part of it.
Back in my woods, I am trying to get used to some break time with all of the holidays. After spending the last three months working and studying in 120-150% capacity, it's hard to adjust and I am feeling the consequences of these three months (a summer semester, three finals - one I had to retake twice, searching and moving apartments, working, and being sick for a week of all of this fun). And if my last final went well, I'm returning to about 110% of stress with grad school in two weeks. So, not fun.
Syria and the Kurds are also on my mind. As Israel didn't have a functioning government for most of 2019, I'm not sure where I stand on military intervention - I fear that will only result in a disaster. I know there's some measure of humanitarian help, I donated food and clothing and sanitary products to refugee camps in the past and a lot of wounded are being treated in hospitals in Northern Israel, but it hardly feels enough.
