I feel like now would be a good time to re-engage company on the screening process.

Bad bad idea unless you are suffering from a bomb blast and can get to a field hospital expeditiously. Those things throw all sorts of blood clots in your system, requiring first responders and medical personnel to throw all sorts of blood thinners in your system (kind of the opposite of what you want if you've been shot or have internal bleeding) to prevent the clots from killing you. Assuming you survive from the complications that these incur initially, you'll be on blood thinners for many months after. Wound-clotting agents are designed to clot and stop bleeding when there is massive loss of blood pressure due to a bomb blast that exposes arteries and the capillaries, leaving no way for your body to maintain pressure. They are a last resort and should be treated as such. If you can control bleeding with compression, this is the way to go and won't further endanger you. It's unlikely that a gunshot would involve the kind of external bleeding where these things would work, but mostly, they are dangerous for the average person to be using. They really have no idea what these things do to their body. The fact that they are so readily available on the internet is unfortunate.

Seeing how JNB has medical training, maybe we could get him to screen our sick notes instead of Management?

Default Update Please?

Mgmt has never bothered to follow up on their initial notification and I haven't read any more details here yet, so will ask:

1. Was our guy going to or from work when it happened? Sunday, 2 pm, I think I read.

2. Was he wearing his uniform?

3. How did it happen? Rolling blockade...driveby...something else?

4. Have the creeps been caught?

5. The biggie: is our guy improving?

Thanks.

For all the unanswered questions this has generated, TN residents can get copies of the police report at very little cost. They are generally public record documents.

While the "rubber neck" reaction is probably human nature, I thought I read that the victim had asked for privacy and Management seems to be abiding by his request.

Maybe we should just let it go for now? If it's really keeping you awake at night there's probably a local new reporter that has all of the details.


Shot Husband

A police officer jumps into his squad car and calls the station.
“I have an interesting case here,” he says. “A woman shot her husband for stepping on the floor she just mopped.”
“Have you arrested her?” asks the sergeant.


“No, not yet. The floor’s still wet.”

15 cents per page for TN residents,

$15 per page for non-residents

In order to find the record, Central Records needs a name


If somebody wants to search 4700 calendars to find out who has been sick since Aug 27th ...
