Sure, the indications for using it can be clarified. EMS would go for chemical restraint (i.e. ketamine) for someone where "excited delirium" is suspected. This doesn't mean literally anyone being ornery with the police - a

We have some level of training at my level (EMT), and the paramedics I work with have more. But the stuff we're expected to cover is really broad - anything from a sexual assault victim and preserving evidence to your garden variety s

If someone doesn't get ketamine, the alternatives are: - they get tased, pepper sprayed, and thrown around by law enforcement officers - they get a less safe drug like midazolam, lorazepam, or haloperidol - they get restrained and figh

I work as an EMT for a 911 service. The general attitude that I have and other EMS providers I’ve talked with seem to share is that this won’t end well. The first thing we’re taught is that the scene must be safe. If it’s not safe, we sta

This is a very polarizing topic in the field of medicine, especially when it comes to independent practice of midlevel providers. I’d just point out that NPs have a very aggressive national organization that promotes such studies, and the

I'm surprised not to see Madison, WI on this list. Our tech sector has been strong and growing for several decades - locally we have Epic Systems, Exact Sciences, Promega Corporation, Thermo Fisher Scientific, several large insurance

I've had good luck calling the main Amazon customer support number (USA) and simply asking to speak to someone in the United States of America. I don't know how Amazon's systems work, but they seem to have more options avail

Why do we need the federal government to fund these slots at all? Hospitals work resident physicians to the bone and bill patients exorbitantly for it. Their hours are capped at 80 per week yet they receive no overtime pay[1]. Yes, the r

This a real issue. The American Medical Association lobbies to artificially limit the number of residency spots funded by the federal government. No change in compensation structure will change the fact that every dermatologist in my city

I just looked and it will add ~$3 to my electric bill to only use wind and solar. Thanks for the tip.

I (and many others) maintain that social security at the federal level is completely unconstitutional, and lament the system that has evolved around using it as the de-facto national identification in the United States. Of course there are

Would one run into licensing issues with this? I'm honestly not sure if their usage is predicated on being served from Google, nor knowledgeable enough about the law to even guess.

Thanks for pointing this out. I guess this is something I had assumed Google does by serving the fonts for free, but I never really bothered to look into it. Going to remove all Google Fonts references from my projects now.

I use macOS as a development machine but usually deploy code to a headless Ubuntu Server instance in the cloud. Primary API server development is in Elixir since it’s just an elegant beast and can handle the vast majority of “pure” business

What makes the student debt such a crappy situation is the fact that we're dealing with young people and families who may not necessarily have all the information to do an educated cost/benefit analysis. Students are pressured fr

My understanding is that there was a bidding process wherein the school would publish a request for proposal and companies would win the contract through it. I'm sure such an approach would be valid in other contexts, but in this case

We were dumb kids, and it's a story. The director was quite nice and we were making conversation on what would otherwise have been a boring walk across campus. He was clearly appalled at how expensive they are as well, but I got the

This is spot on. An anecdote from my undergrad studies and living in Madison, WI: the UW has a division of housing, which provides (shoddy) canvas carts to the students to use for moving in/out of the dorms. My student organization

I can see two distinct groups of people who would take issue with this, not that they'll necessarily have their way: - people who were realistic about their finances and did not take on debt to "drag for a lifetime" in the fi

This is anecdotal, but I had an experience where I was flying from LaGuardia to Madison, WI with a layover in Chicago. The last leg of the flight from Chicago to Madison was delayed by several hours, to the point where it would be signific

As EMTs we are trained to provide the best possible care for all of our patients unless very obvious signs of death are present - brain death is not something we really consider because that's something the hospital determines. Obviou

Could you provide more specific examples of his not acting normal? It’s not something I keep up with so I’m not necessarily saying you’re wrong, just curious what this looks like from the public’s viewpoint.

I’m only an EMT, but I can try to answer this for you. The organ donor was brain dead, but the heart continued to beat and a ventilator was used. The organs would stay perfused with oxygen and nutrients and the surgery would be performed

Yeah, I probably should have referred to her by name. Remzi seems to be the best-known professor in the CS department here.

This book rocks! I took the OS class with Remzi’s wife my junior year and it was the one that made everything “click”, bridging the gap between the computer engineering/circuits and higher-level C code we otherwise did. OSTEP and Xv6

Anecdotally, I am in Madison, WI and it would be feasible with kids in the right neighborhood here. Lots of bikes have little carriages for small children.

To elaborate why a CT scanner is really really important in this case - there are two general kinds of strokes. Ischemic strokes are caused by a blood clot occluding an artery, preventing blood from reaching part of the brain. On the othe
