    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    They are cutting hours? The only department that may be cutting hours are perioperative services. They are cancelling 95% elective surgeries and the remaining 5% are electives that need to be done urgently (think cancer). The emergency department, ICU, and other floors are being slammed busy...

    For those who have yet not been made aware...we at the hospital are now required to wear only one mask per shift unless visibly soiled. That is 8-16 hours. One mask. We have to fold it and place it outside a patient's room in a paper bag with our name on it. N95s are locked up. PAPR shields...

    If you are really concerned with it, then just take 1g of tylenol every 8 hours. Do not exceed 4 grams.

    A fever is the body's natural way of trying to fight off infection. If you can deal with a fever of 101-102 without taking an anti-pyretic, GREAT. If not, take the medication. Just remember when you are sick and have a fever, your basal metabolic rate doubles and you need to double or triple...

    Fuck Provigil. Go cheap and get Nuvigil. Same thing, but about $700 less. When I was in school, I had to take Adderall + Nuvigil. Adderall would focus me, but make me sleepy. I had to take two stimulants to stay awake, lol. ADHD works wonders in the emergency department.

    Eh. You may just have gallstones. I'm assuming you meant you've had multiple ultrasounds, lol. What they need to be doing is a CT scan. Really tough to say though. How's your diet? @Dom Get a course of antibiotics. You definitely don't want rheumatic fever and infective endocarditis.

    They should try high doses of Gabapentin on you. Like 600mg three times a day. Honestly, our country is so fucked with the opioid crisis that we keep making it worse by pushing strong and addictive pain medications onto patients. Doesn't help that we are getting heavier and comorbidities are...

    AT&T Fiber provides a modem/router gateway. But, I do have a Netgear Nighthawk that I can use to put downstairs to expand the network. So, to answer your question, yes, just to expand the number of wired ports.

    So I decided to get YouTube Live. Updating all my TVs to make sure they can accommodate it and if they don't, upgrade them. Since I have fiber, I am looking into a gigabit switch. Is the general consensus Mikrotik and Ubiquiti? I'm looking to have ~5-8 ports.

    Did you collapse at work from just so much pain? I feel like people totally do not know what convulsions really mean and anyone who passes out is an immediate seizure (when it's really not). Get it checked out. If anything, you'll just live with one kidney. Hope it's not a malignancy.
