Oh yeah, in addition to Pokemon Day, today was America’s national resident and fellow appreciation day. We got a cute message from the hospital administration, a cake from our clinic faculty, and some balloons from our staff and nurses. ☺️

I would not be brave enough to try. I have PTSD from the first and only time I tried skating.

Beige? You mean the color of the painted walls in every Republican’s home during the 2000’s? That beige???

Well, if you read this far, thank you. It helps to get certain things off my chest. I will probably delete this thread soon.

I just gave her some pamphlets for support groups, advised her to keep thinking about the rehab thing, let her know her situation is a little worse than a few months ago, and talked to the people on the hospital team about it… I asked them to bring up rehab some more before she gets discharged.

Another option is comfort care. We can try to qualify for hospice, get pain under control, and stop trying to work so hard to get a liver transplant. … The patient doesn’t want that either.

The thing is, since we’ve tried the other option so many times, I don’t think there’s a good chance it will work by itself, which is why I think rehab is best, but I can’t force anyone to do that. It has to be their choice.

In this case, I tried to make a case for voluntary rehab, saying I strongly believe this is the best chance for survival, and they said no. … So I said the next best alternative (something we’ve tried several times now) is abstinence and a sobriety fellowship group.

I believe that as doctors it is our duty to provide patients with the information we gather, involve them in our thought process, both in ways they can understand, so they can have ownership of their health decisions. I never β€œtalk shop” around patients.

Specifically this person has some end-stage problems relating to alcohol, and they need a transplant sometime soon to have a chance at life. … I went to their room on my day off to talk about goals of care.

I’m not on my hospital rotation this block, but I keep an eye on the list for interesting cases or whenever I have my own clinic patients admitted. This is my #1 frequent flyer, and sadly things are not looking great overall.

The actual price for the red hat pattern is $5, so if you see patterns selling for other prices, the proceeds are probably not going to the right place. Part of this movement is helping people in need, so pick the right source.

Ravelry: Needle & Skein Ravelry Store - patterns

And here is the whole Ravelry store. This is the place where Needle & Skein (the yarn store in Minneapolis) sells patterns on the popular knitting/threadcrafts social networking site, Ravelry. You can find a crochet pattern for the hat here, too.

Melt the ICE Hat pattern by Paul S Neary In the 1940’s, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal...

Also, the maker of this pattern has said all proceeds from pattern sales are going to provide groceries and essentials to people in need.

The pattern is $5, you only need one skein of any red yarn you like (check out what weight yarn it isβ€”this should be on the package) and a set of circular or double-pointed needles in the right size. This hat is stylish and very beginner-friendly. You only need to know cast on, knit, k2tog, and ssk.
