He’s pardoning Billy Cannon, who, in addition to being dead, was pretty upfront that he had made a mistake and the crime was a low point in his life. Just a really bizarre piece of sportswashing.

Is this Loss?

Wasn’t Eastern Michigan one of the first universities to tell the DOJ to fuck off?

Maybes it was a sick ostrich?

I frequently lied about my hours in surgery residency to be under 80 because if you were over, you had to explain why you were over your duty hours and it somehow became more work.

No, if a patient is declared brain dead, there is usually no sedation given. It shouldn’t be necessary, as the neurons responsible for sensing pain aren’t alive and processing signals, and extra medication like sedation comes with the risk of hemodynamic instability, which is already kind of a headache in brain dead patients as the brain is no longer meditating that (extremely oversimplified). Yes, sedation can be measured (sorta) with a BIS probe, a spectral imaging probe on the forehead that acts like an EEG with fewer probes, but it’s not very useful in brain death as it’s ultimately looking at blood flow, and in brain death, we don’t expect to see blood flow to the brain.

All of this, of course, assumes that he was declared brain dead, which is a very specific legal term with very specific parameters that vary slightly state by state, which seems unlikely in this situation. He may have been deemed to have a severe neurologic injury with an unlikely prognosis of meaningful recovery, and thus be a planned DCD (declared cardiac death) donation, meaning placed on a minimally assistive ventilatory support and allowed to die once his respiratory drive was so low he died of hypoxic respiratory failure. But the article is long on anecdotes and short on the technical terms physicians would use, so it’s hard to say.

Same! New long for me in I can’t remember how long.

Day 4, might be the longest this year for me. IWNDWYT

Huh, and here I was thinking you didn’t have to test Fallout games to release them.

Oh, do the 3-7 year residency process next, where hourly wages are usually below minimum wage!

Last submarine became a fireplace.

There’s gonna be a really weird uptick in prostate cancer in 30-40 years.

The fibula isn’t a weight bearing bone. The part near the ankle is important, as it’s part of the joint, but the middle doesn’t do much. It’s frequently used for bony reconstruction, like for head and neck cancer surgeries.

He might want to check to see how the troops and their leaders feel about that.

To shreds, you say?

I had no idea I needed this in my life, but here we are.
