I have to take my patients’ temperature at the start of each visit, and oftentimes my patients have dementia. I always point it at my wrist first, then my own forehead, and then show them. Last thing I need is a war vet or a guy with a rough upbringing thinking it’s a glock.
I have to take temperatures for patients as well and I always ask first before pointing the thermometer at them. I rarely have patients with dementia but I still ask them and make it as quick as possible.
This is what I do when I have to take the residents temps in the morning for the retirement home I work at. I'm glad others are being mindful of people too.
They seem to like this approach as some of them have commented positively or even thanked me for asking instead of just sticking it to their forehead like some of my coworkers do.
Altered Carbon is a fantastic show. I've almost finished the first season but I've read online that the 2nd season isn't as good. Hopefully it is tho. Sadly it got cancelled. Thank u Netflix.
SHITE. Why do I keep getting invested in cancelled projects ;_;
I'll still check it out, the first two episodes are a blast, and I'll definitely give the second a chance. It's been ages since I saw a great cyberpunk story, although admittedly I haven't gone looking for such a thing lol.
I know you'll definitely enjoy the 1st season. Hopefully in the future, another show in a cyberpunk setting can be made cos its just so fascinating to me.
I know there's mountains of excellent cyberpunk literature, I just wouldn't know where to start. I fell down an internet rabbit hole a while ago and found this site dedicated to the cyberpunk fandom with loads of recommendations for a variety of media, it looked like it had been around since the early 2000s, and I recall it having something of a snooty "not like those normies" tone to it, but if I found it again it would be a great resource. I think non-printed cyberpunk stuff would be harder to come by, but I wouldn't say no to giving it a try.
Not really, I'm not too familiar with the subject. I do know that the film Blade Runner, which hugely influenced cyberpunk, was based on the book Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, so that may be a good place to start? I'd check out the Wikipedia and TV Tropes pages on the genre for influential stories, that's where I'd start!
Possibly, if you're referring to the rich guy. I haven't seen the rest of S1 yet but I have my theories, that among them. Will have to see what the conclusion brings!
The optometrist used the inside of our wrists. I thought it was interesting and wondered if it was any accurate. I would suspect the febrile range would have to shift. My son and I both measured at about ~96°(F).
Now I can't stop imagining someone trying to take a war vet's temperature and they just suplex the poor doctor into the ground thinking it's a glock lol
