> What was wrong with the "prescription" given to my mother to place my twin brothers (born with jaundice in 1954) in the sun for a few days. The condition was cured and they both have lived normal lives.

Not everywhere is warm and sunny?

That's literally it. I'm really surprised you are having trouble understanding this.

We don't aspirate when covid vaccinating in the Netherlands..

Exactly this. Lean is not a cost-saving methodology, it’s about producing the most efficient results.

Do these dark personality traits also wear a lot of orange makeup and wear ridiculously long red ties? Just wondering.

I was in employee health in healthcare in Canada, and LEAN was used to reduce staffing levels. Now we have worker shortage and burnout problem. Robots are laughing at this because they don't have to deal with psychological demands.

I find that when the workload is overwhelming, it is the best time to leave. Let's employerknow the importance of the position. It may also help ensure work builds some redundancy in place so when I NEED to take time off, say for illness, I can.

I look out for boh future and current me.

I'm often swamped at my (fairly physical) job, but I find that I can't take my last break when I am supposed to, because if I leave my equipment unsupervised for even five minutes other employees will steal it forcing me to waste even more of my limited time to find more.

As a process engineer who works a lot in continuous improvement, that is not a function of lean. The principals of lean are; doing more with les, doing things in a structured manner to increase performance and figuring out the optimized process to make the best use of the working time. When setting standards in lean manufacturing you do time studies and you then pick the most repetitive time as the standard. If you instead give in to management and allow the standard to be set as the best time the fastest employee ever achieved you have not complied with the principals of lean and are just being a pawn in the age old management style of work em till they are dead.

When doing improvement events, my company's standard for selecting a process is 1. What is the safest 2. What is the best quality 3. What is the most stable process. Time optimization come in the order of operations and reducing wasted movement.

Aspiration wasn't done very much in the mass vaccination centers in Ireland, that was because a lot of military etc were called up on short notice to help with the rollout.

Good thing that’s illegal.

It makes sense to me why this is...once I was in gear with a heavy workload, I didn't dare stop because it seemed counterproductive to me to do so. Just keep going until I was actually useless. With so much work, stopping just seemed wrong. An as-yet undeserved break.

Not saying it's right...just saying that worker-bee logic tells you to keep going. It's ground into us. If you stop to think about it, you'll go mad...and won't want to go back to work. You'll sit there, feeling the truth of your fatigue. You'll get angry about it...that is, if you still have the energy for feeling anger at that point. "I'll think about this later"

Stupid but true. And "later" seldom comes. If you're lucky, sleep comes.

If only the vaccine prevented you from getting Covid.

Yes, the best is when my manager says “use some good self-care, take some time for yourself” but gives no time in my schedule to do that. Breaks lead to backed up work.

I have honestly just always figured the medication label simply states what some "default" dosage should be. I know that sounds ridiculous and incredibly dangerous, but I would argue so is private health insurance, tying healthcare to employment, and so much else about the US healthcare system.

I'll talk to my pharmacist about it then. Thanks!

The title is fine. The problem is when people base a conclusion from the title. If all the details we needed to draw factual and accurate conclusions were in the title, it wouldn't be called the title. It'd be called the article.

People need to read.

Yeah, no doubt pharmacists are overworked, I don't blame anyone really, but do blame our incredibly ridiculous healthcare system.

I'm just saying what my experience is. It's never been the same. I have been on four different medications, never has the label matched the doctors spoken recommendation. This is across two different states in the US. Makes no sense.

I understand that dosages vary for a lot of reasons for medications, but it makes no sense why the label would ever differ from what the doctor prescribed, and yet for me it always does.

I worked in pharmacy for years, filling prescriptions and interpreting those doctor’s orders into a label. This is, frankly, negligence on the part of the pharmacy. If we made mistakes like this, or even subtle mistakes, they were sent back to be fixed. Your meds are probably being filled by an overworked pharmacist, working without staff, and cutting corners. That or your doctor is actually sending the scripts to the pharmacy with entirely incorrect instructions, which actually did happen quite often, as well as doctors prescribing strengths that didn’t exist.
