Oh yeah and people give nurses stuff all the time. We've got chocolate, cards, I got a t shirt once. It's all lovely and appreciated. It is unethical to accept gifts over a certain dollar amount, I think $100. We usually redirect them to donate to the hospital foundation, or return precious items to family (like jewelry). Its normal human nature to want to show appreciation to people who cared for you and some people feel they can only show it by giving gifts.

The clients thing was in nursing school too, the older guard thought "patient" implied too much power dynamics over the person in question. I didn't get that literally at all, none of my classmates did, none of my coworkers do - unless you're over 55 and in academia and haven't been a floor nurse in over a decade. The profs insisted client was a better term because it leveled the implied hierarchy - but all of us thought it was gross because it's a business term.
Didn't we do this with a maoist third worldist gf?
There's a lot of theorems that rely on the Riemann hypothesis being true but I guess it could still be true (even unproven) if you could generate primes, unless one of them wasnt on the critical line I suppose. I'm struggling to think of what else besides passwords and secure communication would break, hmm.
I love playing with little babies! They're so cute~
It's literally all labeled as fake news
They're also pretty honest about why, they'll say like "oh yeah they're poor and they don't have any power" whereas dude sexpats will talk about "traditional feminity" and "well they're exotic" etc.
That's why I joined the union so I get paid on time!
