Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

The link itself made me chuckle.  I could almost hear Gomer Pyle shouting "Cardiac Arrest! Cardiac Arrest!"
"It's good, though..."

But these were not patient satisfaction surveys.  Although because that fact was not in the fine print you might be excused for having passed it by.  That, and the fact that your are a Risk Manager, not a Hospital Administrator.

I'm not sure but my money is on the Good Samaritan laws of all the states they flew over saying that the "responders" to the "in-flight situation" did not establish a patient-caregiver relationship.  I'm also pretty sure that if in fact such a relationship were established it would require the completion of assignment of benefit forms and all those HIPAA sign-offs, including the one about having your bodily fluids tested for a host of diseases and conditions regardless of your willingness to give permission fpr that to be done.

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

“At that point, my training just took over and I didn’t even think.  I went into a ‘zone’.  I popped open the briefcase, and found the satisfaction surveys just where I expected them.  I began to pass them out — quickly and purposefully, in a way that said, ‘This may be a critical situation, but I’ve done this numerous times before’.

Eh, close enough for government work.

Can't be true. Stapleton has been closed for years.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Yes, we know.  Funny, too.
