After all these years with a disability and two neurodiverse children, I keep thinking I understand how shitty our healthcare system is. By now, I walk in expecting shitty. I mean, surely there are no more surprises there.
I’m really such an idiot

Unsurprisingly, the autistic child without food or medication had a full panic attack.
Her dad arrived at the emergency room for the handoff to the hospital, took in the situation, and lost his temper at the staff. This of course made everything much better.

Welp: after not letting her take any of her medication‘s or eat anything for eight hours because she might need emergency surgery, they have suddenly decided to send her home. But they promised this was actually a medical decision, and it’s just a coincidence that the hospital is out of beds.

Lol if your students are anything like mine, 90% of questions can be answered with either “Do the reading” or “it’s on the syllabus”

It’s missing a sign that says “Do the Reading”

I suppose we should be grateful that they haven’t figured out this super obvious fact. It is, after all, why we get paid the big bucks.
