yeah uh… im also kind of unsure what OP meant here. there is no direct battery analogue to an LNG tanker because there’s nothing to tank. ships that run partially or entirely on batteries are absolutely a thing, but they’re not doing it in order to move the energy around.

i mean, i think it just helps children to emotionally navigate a serious illness, which is something that everyone eventually experiences. if you’re fortunate enough to experience it after you’ve built up some emotional resiliency and coping mechanisms, that’s great, but otherwise it can be really distressing and overwhelming for kids.

it’s possible that I’m misunderstanding here but I think the sepsis diagnosis is from a retrospective review of her file. at the time there was no sepsis diagnosis. they even specifically call out that doctor for having been under review for missing diagnoses in the past

After two hours of IV fluids, one dose of antibiotics, and some Tylenol, Crain’s fever didn’t go down, her pulse remained high, and the fetal heart rate was abnormally fast, medical records show. Hawkins noted that Crain had strep and a urinary tract infection, wrote up a prescription and discharged her.

Hawkins had missed infections before. Eight years earlier, the Texas Medical Board found that he had failed to diagnose appendicitis in one patient and syphilis in another. In the latter case, the board noted that his error “may have contributed to the fetal demise of one of her twins.” The board issued an order to have Hawkins’ medical practice monitored; the order was lifted two years later. (Hawkins did not respond to several attempts to reach him.)

the second ER did not diagnose her with sepsis, they diagnosed her with strep throat and a UTI. some portion of responsibility IMO lies with that OB-GYN for screwing up that diagnosis, although i understand the larger point of the article seems to be that doctors are reluctant to diagnose or treat really any condition in pregnant women for fear of getting legally crushed by the state

yeah but you used to be able to use it. like if your family friend Margaret was eating five zucchinis at once lengthwise you would say “Margaret, stop being such a courgette slut”. or if a pressure cooker full of oatmeal exploded and covered her face with oatmeal you could say that Margaret got oatmeal bukkaked to explain to the intake nurse at the hospital.

nowadays you cant say that kind of thing. because of woke.
