Snip< There's not a week that goes by that we do not hear about an instance in which a patient or family member was verbally or physically aggressive with staff, she said.
Snip< Our health care workers, they're already working extremely hard, day-in and day-out, to take care of those that need it most, Reed said. So dealing with a violent or aggressive patient just increases that stress level even more.

If you have roundabouts in your area you will understand. "Karen" was driving really fast to the yield sign. I was in the
roundabout and laid on the horn. "Karen" jammed on the brakes and yielded.
When we were out of the roundabout "Karen" stared riding my bumper. Told my niece, get the camera on her phone ready.
Pulled over and "Karen" stopped, I put the window down and she started screaming. "Karen" said, I know you thought I
was going to fast and wasn't going to stop. My niece started laughing then "Karen" drove off mad when she saw the niece was videoing the freak out.
People are crazy, be safe and have the video recorder on your phone ready.

Snip < By summer 2020, prosecutors decided they had probable cause to get a warrant to examine Giulianis communications, people familiar with the matter said. Mindful they were seeking the communications of a lawyer in a politically sensitive case, Manhattan prosecutors approached leaders at the Justice Department in D.C. seeking approval to move forward. They were rebuffed

Fear Inoculum
Immunity long overdue
Contagion, I exhale you
Naive I opened up to you
Venom in mania
Now, contagion I exhale you
Deceiver says, he says you belong to me
You don't want to breathe the light of the others
Fear the light
Fear the breath
Fear the others for eternity
But I hear them now, inhale the clarity
Hear the venom, the venom in what you say, inoculated
Bless this immunity
Bless this immunity
Bless this immunity
Exhale, expel
Recast my tale
Weave my allegorical elegy
Enumerate
All that I'm to do
Calculating steps away from you
My own mitosis
Growing through delusion from mania
Exhale, expel
Recast my tale, weave my
Tool: Fear Inoculum
