Holy sh**.

A patient, female, 25 years old, needed canal refilling in a premolar. The canal was slightly curved naturally, which the doctor was notified about in advance. During treatment, the patient felt (even with anaesthesia) that a wards carver (my guess) was going too straight - the doctor told her not to worry and PRESSED the instrument instead of slightly turning it. And made an additional canal in the mandible. The patient learned about it postfactum.

5 years later, the patient went to another dentist. She needed a canal filling in a tooth adjacent to that tooth with the new hole. The doctor was notified IN ADVANCE that there was an artificial canal made by the first doctor and that it would be good not to accidentally fill it. "Sure," said the doctor, "although it sounds like you're exaggerating." Maybe the doctor thought that it was impossible to be that stupid and crooked-handed. The patient got a sectional matrix placed and then asked to do a 3D photo just to make sure everything was placed correctly.

The point is that the sectional matrix, or some metal part of it, hid in the photo the very place where that unnecessary channel was made. The second doctor decided not to remove the matrix for another photo, she thought everything was okay.

After the filling, the second photo was made - and it showed a perfectly filled canal in the problematic tooth... and a giant cube of filling in the mandible.

The moral: Listen to your patient. Even if they're exaggerating. You are welcomed as a doctor to pretend that everything is okay, but you must check it trice.

Enhancing Patient Safety: Navigating CMS Hospital QAPI Standards 2024

In the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare, prioritizing patient safety and continuous quality improvement is imperative. Recognizing the pivotal role hospitals play in ensuring high-quality and safe care, the CMS introduced updated QAPI standards in 2020.

One significant change introduced in the updated QAPI standards is the explicit inclusion of a section addressing patient safety and risk management. In March 2023, CMS responded to these challenges by issuing long-awaited interpretive guidelines, providing clarity for surveyors on evaluating a hospital's QAPI program.

Central to CMS's expectations is the crucial role of hospital leadership and the governing body in overseeing and executing the QAPI. The forthcoming program will delve into the revised CMS hospital QAPI standards and the newly provided interpretive guidelines.

Key learning objectives include understanding the specific requirements for a robust QAPI program, recognizing the areas that will be scrutinized during CMS surveys, and understanding the role of hospital leadership in steering the QAPI ship. CMS surveyors will meticulously review policies and procedures, ensuring they are not just on paper but effectively implemented in practice.

In the realm of healthcare, continuous improvement is not just a goal but a mandate. Navigating the intricacies of CMS Hospital QAPI Standards 2024 is not just about compliance; it is a commitment to delivering the highest standard of care, prioritizing patient safety at every turn. As hospitals align their practices with these updated standards, the journey towards excellence in healthcare takes a significant leap forward.

Medical error

"Medical Error is the most common cause of death. This is a terrifying statement to make and it might seem difficult to believe. Yet, medical error is the most common cause of death in the United States. There are a number of reasons for this, including developing new treatments without testing them properly and putting pressure on doctors to work fast without taking the time needed for interviews with patients.

Physician and Nurse Burn - Out - Part XX. Mistakes in Children's Medications

Physician and Nurse Burn – Out – Part XX. Mistakes in Children’s Medications

– “For a nurse, nothing compares to a screw-up in a kid’s medication —period.” Louise X. is a veteran and proficient nurse that works in the Oncology ward of a large South Florida public hospital, who almost harmed an admitted child when she wrongly calculated the dilution parameters of a medication that comes in adult dosage from the manufacturer and must be adapted to lower children’s dosages.…

Decided to get silly and draw the inverse of the iconic "Victory Soldier" poster. And make it Heavymedic, of course.

Inspiration, progress pics, and alt versions under the cut

This poster! Always been a fan.

Initially I was gonna keep the same setting & color scheme, but the original poster distinctly has the top two thirds warm tones/bottom third cool tones. If I wanted to keep the piece cohesive it'd have to be RED Heavymedic vs BLU Soldier. And the more I thought about that the less it felt explicitly like Heavymedic fanart and more like propaganda for the RED team.

So I set it on Snowycoast! Its sky box and layout let me have cool top thirds/warm bottom third. Also it's one of the most beautiful maps in the game and I love drawing night scenes. Literally no downsides.

Progress pics!

Textless version, and an alt text version I made at the request of a friend:

And finally, since you've reached the bottom, some memes I made while working on it.

:)

I've been going back and forth trying to decide whether I want to make the old ibvs oneshots be available on ao3 but every time I look at them I go into a state of shock at how… absolutely teenager they are

also this

#error asked calmly #also the narrator clarifies 'not as any kind of attack' immediately after which makes me insane #that is inherently an aggressive statement WHAT are you talking about #barry is f'ing doing free secret medical care on this guy #and edward is just like 'I've never considered whether you deserve to know how I got bruised and bloodied' BRUh #WHY IS EDWARD BRUISED AND BLOODIED #back when the plot of ibvs was edward beating the shit out of anyone who talked to him I guess #that barry and edward fic is nuts #knowing now that barry has a gf. and edward is the one that kisses him first without asking. I know stacy didn't exist yet but #the way its written is so ambiguous it makes it feel like barry could in fact be cheating on stacy which is so insane #old ibvs causes me a bit of psychic damage #I wrote those parts when I was 17-19. which explains the vibe of course #remember back when barry was edward's frenemy #and that's just that one fic. I'm not ready to look at the ones that came before it #random stuff
