Maybe the problem is with the viewer and not the creator that these videos drive people insane. But whatever the case may be, why would they keep producing them knowing full well that the reception is going to be negative? pic.twitter.com/WFtNwtP9LP

This is in Italy from what I can gather in the video. I guess the medical personnel is as badly overworked by the “second” wave of the Wuhan V. as their counterparts in the US.
Now, I did not forget that when the Kung Flu initially hit in the land of Leonardo, the bodies of the elderly were decomposing at home because nobody in the government could come up with an ambulance, a panel truck or even pay for an Uber to bring the sick to the hospital because they were “overwhelmed.”

I guess choreography is very demanding.

And another “Overwhelmed medical personnel” video emerges.

Bad optics for the overwhelmed hospitals narrative? I think that’s a bit of an understatement. Videos like these, especially as the MSM continues to spew their fear-porn, are really disgusting. There’s NO excuse for it — and don’t even start with the stress relief crapola. pic.twitter.com/AeBpQdxvlF

And this one looks it happened here in the good Ole US of A. I just looked it up and the standard of care is supposed to be one nurse per six patients. So either there are a bunch of empty beds or about 100 patients were left without proper supervision while this “gracious and brave” video was being recorded.

Remember this ad?

The SEALs ain’t got shit on the stealth it takes to get a much loved and intensely snuggled, filthy stuffed toy out of the arms of a sleeping three year old.  Wash it.  Dry it.  And replace it without waking the child up.

They seem to think that if they tell us in advance that they are going to cheat then we will have nothing to complain about when they do it.

So this happened on Christmas eve while fixing food.

Cut went deep into the knuckle almost perpendicular to it. Bleed like crazy since they have me on a daily regiment of aspirin ()which I will talk to my doc about) and Celox was applied.

I thought I had done all the proper cleaning and application of antiseptics, but  my thumb is now in pain and swollen. I am on my way to the local urgent care franchise  which is closer than the ER and probably less crowded.

And I cannot tell you how many mistakes have been made writing this post. Lack of usable thumb does interfere regular life.

In the meantime, go read Big Country Expat’s post. We my talk about it later in the Forum. He is raising some of the same questions I have been pondering.

Update: Back from the clinic. The wound is closed, so no effing around with it. Lots of antibiotics for 10 days.
The “doctor” almost shat his pants. He squeezed the thumb a bit too hard rebandaging it and apparently the stream of cussing coming out of my mouth combined with the murder look may have loosened his bowels.
The clinic did go silent for a few seconds.

I saw this posted at Wirecutter’s.

I grew up with the audiobooks of James Herriot’s All Creatures Great and Small series, narrated by Christopher Timothy, who played James Herriot MRCVS in the BBC series (which I also love).

A few times n the book series, James mentions having to put down an animal with a humane killer.  I never knew that was a specific device until I saw this video.

I found this extremely interesting because it answered a question from my childhood that I never knew I had.
