If it's of any consolation: Most critically ill people do lapse into delirium, in my experience. It pretty much can't be helped.

[TheBiggerFish]

Negligence is inexcusable.

Honestly?  I'd sue, if I could.

[Orange Wizard]

At that point it's basically manslaughter.

[ChairmanPoo]

Manslaughter?

Spent today dismantling the robot I've been helping build for the past several months. The structural frame was basically falling apart from all the emergency testing and moving it around, and the connection bolts were shitty and rusting, so we need to take it completely apart and replace all of them.

Manslaughter?

The crime of killing a human being without malice aforethought, or otherwise in circumstances not amounting to murder.

When people are dying due to chronic/degenerative pathologies, they tend to develop delirium. It does not follow that someone is at fault

They'd be at fault if the stuff they were supposed to do would have staved off the sickness or whatever. BF didn't say that but I gave myself the impression that he did.

You don't really know what took place, yet you're willing to shape up an impromptu online lynching commitee, based on an ambiguous comment by one of the bereaved.

It's human to want to blame someone for misfortunes. Problem is, sometimes bad things happen to good people, and it's really unfair to start pointing fingers at healthcare professionals. Delirium in critically ill/terminal patients is rather common. I'd go as far as saying that in my personal experience the only times I've seen someone dying not lapse into delirium were the ones in which they were sedated beforehand. Nobody's really lucid when the body is shutting down.

Always lynch the medical workers and psychiatrist. Remember: medical workers are always evil and hate you, and psychiatrists are useless quacks that you don't need.

Also no, Tiruin, I'm being sarcastic.

[Spehss _]

So depressed. There's nothing to do to distract myself from the depression. Nothing keeps my interest.

It would have lessened his delirium, but there's no telling how much it would have helped. He was terminal either way, as he had cancer. It started in his liver, I think, but once it spread to his spine it rapidly made its way everywhere.

[Magnumcannon]

Shit happened. Moving out of to my grandma's house. Never coming back again.

I feel like I'm not gonna get into the navy because of my allergies. Well technically I'm handing in the allergy test result sometime next week but still. All sources I've been looking at makes it seem unlikely by the day.

And the fucking test result itself is useless. All it basically say is "Yes, you do have allergies". All I wanted to know if the reaction is something that can be considered fatal or not. Which is the biggest factor I'm looking for since its immediate grounds for disqualification.

Now I have no clue what to do with my future if I don't get in.
