I'm just amazed. It's frankly easier to use a flush than fooling with a sink. You need a flush anyway to administer the medication and I'd imagine most folks diverting IV meds are smuggling them out after transferring them into an empty flush in the first place. It almost makes me wonder if who did it isn't a nurse. Like a pharm tech doing a batch of them at a sink before loading the pyxis.

I don't know this hospital, but I generally grab several when I come on shift, put them in my pocket, and end up accidentally taking home a few often enough that I'd end up being able to have squirt gun fights with them.

Essentially, nurses go through so many that you'd be hard pressed to control them. We use them for everything from checking the status of an IV line to cleaning a wound.

Why the fuck would they use tap water when sterile saline flushes are all over the place.

Alienation and depression. Suicidal ideation can create a general devaluation in other lives as well. That sort of mindset can create a justification in wasting your own life with a splash. The mental calculus is already fundamentally incomprehensible to most folks because of that.

Aluminum oxynitride is transparent aluminum, but alpha aluminum oxide, which is also transparent, is called Corundum, Ruby, or Sapphire. That name is dumb.

We have Miles O'Brien at home.

I think the headline is quite wrong in regards to this press release, since it's a new AI drug that is using a similar mechanism of action of an AI drug that was discovered in 2019. It's strange because it says exactly that in their source.

I don't think he did, I was just making a joke. That said, I personally would not carry around a gun after shooting someone with the police after me. That's a fine way to get yourself killed.

The 14 year old is the one who shot his sister. The attempted murder charge is for shooting him in response and the tampering with evidence is for throwing his gun away. Hence: littering.

What are they arresting the 15 year old for? Littering?
