The patient's presumed signature has been masked.<br /><br />(CNN) - Picture this: A man is admitted to the hospital, unconscious, with a history of serious health problems and a high blood alcohol level. He has no identification and no family with him. On his chest, he has a tattoo: "Do Not Resuscitate."<br /><br />What would you do?<br /><br />It sounds like a worst-case-scenario question from a medical ethics course, but it really happened recently at a Florida hospital. A newly published study in The New England Journal of Medicine explored the ethical and medical conundrums the staff faced when presented with a 70-year-old patient whose denial of potentially life-saving treatment was right there on his skin.<br /><br />At first, doctors wanted to ignore it<br /><br />According to the study, authored by a team of medical professionals from the University of Miami, the doctors attending to the man didn't want to honor the tattoo because there was no way to be absolutely sure that's what the man wanted.<br /><br />"We initially decided not to honor the tattoo, invoking the principle of not choosing an irreversible path when faced with uncertainty," the study said. The doctors chose to treat the patient with antibiotics and other life-saving measures.<br /><br />However, they called in the hospital's ethics consultant, who had a different opinion.<br /><br /><br />Differing view from an ethics consultant<br /><br />Laws about do not resuscitate orders are sometimes complex and vary from state to state. According to an article in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, "Clinicians are morally and legally obligated to respect the preferences of patients to forgo life-sustaining treatment." However, this typically means an official signed a do not resuscitate agreement such as a Physician Order for Life Sustaining Treatment.<br /><br />Tattoos, while clearly administered with a patient's wishes, aren't legally binding, and are usually considered too ambiguous to act upon.<br /><br />"The emergency responder may wonder: (D)o the letters stand for Do Not Resuscitate? Or Department of Natural Resources? Or someone's initials? Second, the tattoo may not result from a considered decision to forego resuscitation. Errors in interpretation may have life and death consequences," the Journal of General Internal Medicine article said.<br /><br />In the case of the man in the Florida hospital, the facility's ethics consultant said the doctors should honor the tattoo.<br /><br />"They suggested that it was most reasonable to infer that the tattoo expressed an authentic preference, that what might be seen as caution could also be seen as standing on ceremony, and that the law is sometimes not nimble enough to support patient-centered care and respect for patients' best interests," the study reads.<br /><br />There was also another development that supported the consultant's decision: The hospital's social work department located a copy of the man's Florida Department of Health "out-of-hospital" do not resuscitate order, which supported the request on his tattoo.<br /><br />The outcome<br />Ultimately, a do not resuscitate order was issued, and the man died. The authors of the study said they were "relieved to find his written DNR request," but the initial confusion over the tattoo brought up a curious issue that has been debated in the medical community on several occasions.</i><br /><br />https://www.local10.com/health/miami-doctors-face-dilemma-over-do-not-resuscitate-tattooCharltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-82638875733074476192017-12-02T22:10:03.819-05:002017-12-02T22:10:03.819-05:00Trump is a life long Democrat. - dumb ass

We fell far short of that yesterday,” the network said in a statement on Saturday. “Effective immediately, Brian Ross will be suspended for four weeks without pay.”<br /><br />Ross came under considerable fire on Friday after he erroneously reported on live television that then-candidate Donald Trump had instructed Michael Flynn to make contact with the Russians. In a correction seven hours later, the channel admitted that it was “President-elect” Trump who had made the request of Flynn — a pretty significant difference.Deuce ☂https://www.blogger.com/profile/13472858446242700869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-44445479442519705902017-12-02T17:07:32.394-05:002017-12-02T17:07:32.394-05:00Final

It will be interesting to see if them 'saying' it actually results in action. Wages are usually set by the prevailing rate, that is the rate the competition sets. With the US being at full employment, the total work force declining, and the majority of companies not planning on increasing wages it will be interesting to see if those companies that profess an altruistic bent follow through with their assertions especially given that companies in general are currently cash rich and making historically strong earnings and yet wages remain pretty flat.<br /><br />.<br /><br />.

As noted at the WSJ forum, only 3 or 4 CEO's out of 40 to 50 'said' they would spend the money on wages for their workers. The majority indicated they would use it for stock buy backs thus driving up the price of stocks for the rich who own them. As for fundamentals, I heard on CNBC yesterday it looks like 2017 will be the first year since the recovery that car sales will actually drop from the previous year.<br /><br />Unemployment? For the past two years, the unemployment numbers have been what has been called in the past the 'natural' unemployment number indicating full employment. Employers are struggling to get 'qualified' workers having the right skills. At the same time the Trump tax cuts and budget are goin out of their ways to stick it to students at all levels, cutting the budgets for education programs, cutting deductibility for interest on loans for graduates at all levels, cutting back on training programs and their deductibility, cutting back on national efforts in science. All short term 'fixes' designed to provide money for the already rich and further degrading the US' ability to compete.<br /><br />Trump/GOP priorities are obvious and they include zero for us. And the useful idiots who defend these moves continue to bend over and ask for it in the ass but harder.<br /><br />As for the average American, I'm sure they will be very grateful for that $100 per year they get in tax cuts. It will be enough to pay for a nice dinner for the wife on her birthday. Well, until it is eventually phased out that is. The big advantage for the GOP? The average Joe won't notice it when it's gone.<br /><br />Admittedly, that same Average Joe will have the pleasure of watching the rich gain further riches in the stock market. They will see Trump and his family and his friends getting a massive Christmas gift of $ billions to add to the $ billions they already have. They can see the deficits and the national debt balloon even further and faster than it has already has. They will be able to see their insurance premiums skyrocket. They will see interest rates rise with the accumulating debt and real wages decline even more with the increasing inflation. <br />What more could they ask for?<br /><br />.<br /><br /><br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-52461199116814626302017-12-02T14:06:48.244-05:002017-12-02T14:06:48.244-05:00Do you have the Lava Tube stocked with food and wa...Do you have the Lava Tube stocked with food and water, Doug ?<br /><br />Do you have a Geiger Counter, and a handgun ?<br /><br />Matches, and some light source ?<br /><br />Batteries for a month ?<br /><br />Medical supplies ?Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-62478140058081630362017-12-02T14:03:48.461-05:002017-12-02T14:03:48.461-05:00I just heard that Flynn had been a life long Democ...I just heard that Flynn had been a life long Democrat.<br /><br /><b>Who Is Michael Flynn? 19 Things to Know About Donald Trump's Former National Security Adviser.</b><br /><br /><i>Here's what you need to know about Flynn:<br /><br />1. He is a registered Democrat.<br />Raised in Rhode Island, Flynn comes from "an Irish Catholic family of blue-collar Democrats," according to Politico, and was a lifelong Democrat before throwing his support behind the Republican candidate. "I grew up as a Democrat in a very strong Democratic family, he told ABC, "but I will tell you that Democratic party that exists in this country is not the Democratic party that I grew up around in my upbringing."</i><br /><br />http://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/a8307175/michael-flynn-trump-national-security-advisor/Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-5493493623175666642017-12-02T13:56:05.811-05:002017-12-02T13:56:05.811-05:00Mueller Removed Top F.B.I. Agent Over Possible Ant...<br /><br />Mueller Removed Top F.B.I. Agent Over Possible Anti-Trump Texts<br /><br />WASHINGTON — The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, removed a top F.B.I. agent from his investigation into Russian election meddling after the Justice Department’s inspector general began examining whether the agent had sent text messages that expressed anti-Trump political views, according to three people briefed on the matter.<br /><br />The agent, Peter Strzok, is considered one of the most experienced and trusted F.B.I. counterintelligence investigators. <b>He helped lead the investigation into whether Hillary Clinton mishandled classified information on her private email account, and then played a major role in the investigation into links between President Trump’s campaign and Russia.</b><br /><br />But Mr. Strzok was reassigned this summer from Mr. Mueller’s investigation to the F.B.I.’s human resources department, where he has been stationed since. The people briefed on the case said the transfer followed the discovery of text messages in which Mr. Strzok and a colleague reacted to news events, like presidential debates, in ways that could appear critical of Mr. Trump.<br /><br />A lawyer for Mr. Strzok declined to comment. A spokeswoman for the Justice Department said that “we are aware of the allegation and are taking any and all appropriate steps.”<br /><br />Mr. Strzok’s reassignment shows that Mr. Mueller moved swiftly in the face of what could be perceived as bias by one of his agents amid a politically charged inquiry into Mr. Trump’s campaign and administration. But the existence of the text messages is likely to fuel claims by Mr. Trump that the F.B.I. has a bias against him and that he is a target of the “deep state” — a term used to describe the notion that government intelligence agencies secretly conspire together.<br /><br />Continue reading the main story<br />The discovery of the text messages came at a crucial moment in Mr. Mueller’s investigation. At the time, Mr. Mueller was ramping up his investigation into Mr. Trump’s former advisers, while also coming under criticism for putting many donors to Democratic candidates on his team. Some conservatives encouraged Mr. Trump to fire Mr. Mueller, saying the investigation was tainted. Mr. Trump seriously entertained the idea but ultimately backed down.<br /><br />https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/02/us/politics/mueller-removed-top-fbi-agent-over-possible-anti-trump-texts.htmlDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-60060191071189920362017-12-02T13:51:27.310-05:002017-12-02T13:51:27.310-05:00.
