How’s your anus doing @stenAanden@feddit.dk?

You wouldn’t expect more (or less) primary causes if more secondary causes were reported in multifactorial deaths. I’d imagine the fact that in the US CMS adopted ICD-10 in 2015 and the rapid rise after would make that obvious enough. Unless you believe there’s some pre-COVID etiology for malnutrition that explains the jump I’m not seeing.

Dunno. I’m a US nurse. I don’t know how France does their death certificates. Wouldn’t surprise me that they’re more granular though.

Be aware, very old people die from this as a secondary cause from a primary of Alzheimer’s and other dementias. They just stop eating. It’s a misleading statistic to use to identify poverty based malnutrition. It’s a very common diagnosis in terminal patients. And the way US billing works, getting the most diagnosis codes recorded is important for reimbursement. It’s likely the cause for this disparity.

Edit: yeah 2015 is when ICD-10 adoption and cms billing changes went into play. And then the rate quadrupled. This is an artifact of the US’s dumb private/public insurance model for end of life as more people gamed the system for reimbursement. The spread of billing practices over time.

I was really interested in who the pervert experts were, but it turns out it was just human rights groups.

Imagine the universe as a spherical cow.

Why put him in a high fall risk sock. He’s not a fall risk… Now meemaw is gonna take another tumble.

(Yellow typically denotes high fall risk in healthcare settings and this is a healthcare sock. Nurse life.)

Should just have msg packets and get people used to that instead.

Dudes being eaten by a hell otter. Thematically correct illumination. Hell otters after your golden souls in their shells.

The last one isn’t one that would generally disqualify you, more to catch you lying. There doesn’t exist people who would put more money in a vending machine because it’s a stupid idea and vending machines don’t work that way.

Ethical answers to that range from the utilitarian give it to someone hungry to the deontological leave it since it’s not yours. But putting more money into a malfunctioning vending machine is chaotic stupid on the ethical charts.

Used to be a big kbin thing.

Liberals are under no illusion as to how workers rights were run. That’s why they did the Taft Hartley act after all. Don’t go getting too uppity now.

Speak for yourself.

What’s funny is no charge nurse is capable of getting you to the point of getting fired over this shit. They’re just capable of making you want to quit. Management does not like spending money orienting new nurses.

Charge nurses and power tripping, name a more iconic duo.

Activated carbon does absorb lead because it has a variety of binding sites that will bind to lead ions. The problem is, those binding sites are limited and will get quickly used up if you’re having to actually deal with any significant amount of lead and if you have other metal ions (like copper) trying to compete for binding sites the whole profile looks worse. This means if you’ve got hard water with a ton of competing ions, the filter will likely do dick for lead. So the Brita filters do do something, but if there’s an actual utility to what they do in regards to heavy metals depends on the water.

Just be glad it’s actual repairs and not just entirely coated in speed tape.

Realistically the carrot itself is only something like 5×10^(−11) karat gold.
