Some pill-based meds can be ground up and administered through a feeding tube to a ventilated/sedated patient.
When my wife got her J-Tube years ago, we didn’t realize that you shouldn’t grind up coated delay-release pills that we still had in-stock at home. Cue her falling asleep in the middle of taking her night meds after grinding up the delayed release Ambien with the rest of her transplant stuff…it hit hard.
In my wife’s final ICU trip, I had to show the nurse how to work with CF enzymes in that scenario, because she’d never done it before, and you can jam the tube up easily. It was the first and only time I felt useful that whole visit.
Seems like Ingraham et al should volunteer to take the cure to show people it’s safe.
Oh, but of course, Ingraham et al are already vaccinated, aren’t they?
Well, let’s find some unvaccinated goppers of some repute and have them take the cure. It’s safe right, they wouldn’t advocate something not safe would they? Can you Wisconsinites remind your fellow Wisconsonians that Johnson has been vaccinated please, just for a complete story?
Yeah, there’s nothing worse than thinking, “Wow, that guy is super cute” and then he says something that makes you know that he’s a Trumper. Total turn off. Okay, I know that would never apply to Ratzenberger but it’s the principle of the thing.
On Monday, Florida death data would have shown an average of 262 daily deaths reported to the CDC over the previous week had the health department used its former reporting system, the Herald analysis showed. Instead, the Monday update from Florida showed just 46 “new deaths” per day over the previous seven days.

DeSantis’ press secretary, Christina Pushaw, said the state “could move to withhold the salary of the district superintendent or school board members” as punishment.

The media still hasn’t gotten it. They’re still pining for Donald and His Atrocities.
President Biden is going to outrun the media. He already has. The media should try harder to keep up, instead of trying harder to cast their same shitty reality show.
This is the Military Working Dogs site. There are comments from the Humane Society. Trying to find the article that listed who was working towards bringing the other dogs back, besides them.
I sent an IM to the Humane Society. They replied: “Reports to us from Kabul, including those from the military, made it clear that not only were contract working dogs denied access to cargo storage in the last flights out, but that the govt. also denied charter planes access to remove the dogs to safety. Our priority is getting these dogs home.”
So the state board of Education is willing to punish districts for not following an unconstitutional order? Is it even possible to clean up the mess Republicans have made in Florida?
The weird thing is, we already have a national ID card - it’s the Social Security Card, which (almost) every American paying into Social Security already has in their possession. Now, it’s true that it’s not particularly secure (being printed on simple card stock), nor is it yet universal (a lot of folks, like my Aussie siblings and their kids, who all qualify) never got their cards, but It’s there, we all qualify and if we beefed it up a bit, it could well serve.
Now, Social Security Numbers have been abused in the past (we used to use them in IT as database IDs, which was a stupid idea, but we’ve moved on, so everybody else should do the same).
Oh, and I have a “Real ID” Californian driver’s license, a US passport and now a Medicare card. It’s time to send this “Universal IDs are evil” meme to live at a farm in Upstate New York…

Chandler: It’s like when you’re a kid, and your parents put your dog to sleep, and they tell you it went off to live on some farm.
Ross: That’s funny, that, no, because our parents actually did send our dog to live on a farm.
Monica: Uh, Ross?
Ross: What? Wh…hello? The Millners’ farm in Connecticut? The Millners, they had this unbelievable farm, they had horses, and, and rabbits that he could chase and it was… it was… Oh my God, Chi Chi!
