somewhat belated because we've been really busy again but! we have a docs page up and running, we have the email situation hopefully sorted out, and stuff is flowing again generally. things are going pretty good right now on the backend for Beehaw, i'd say, and hopefully that continues as the week progresses.

when things chill out i'm hoping to get back to finishing a few books which i was reading in May--this has been a full time gig basically, so i haven't had any real downtime. i only just got in some Stardew Valley last night.

Work as an RN in a small rural hospital so I see code blues here and there. The other night another RN calls a code blue on a patient that went into sustained vfib/vtach. I was second in to the room and the patient looks like they are seizing. I think their heart has stopped at this point.

I have my gloves on and I am just waiting to see if they are pulseless (couldn't tell if they were breathing being on bipap already). They all of a sudden start talking to the primary RN and snap out of the dangerous heart rhythm on their own.

That patient was a second or two away from having a 300lb man forcibly compressing their chest to keep their blood pumping.
