One thing that the ACA is causing me to become concerned about is how I've filed taxes the last couple of years with tips and such. I think I may be - Qale Sep 30, 22:44 10
- the good news: you get to pick which arm and which leg. -- nm - IRS Sep 30, 22:53 1
  - Oh sure, all because I'm the only person on Earth who knows exactly how much he made in tips on March 19th, 2012? -- nm - Qale Sep 30, 23:14
- Did you give the correct amounts to the best or your knowledge, then figure the correct amount of tax due on both wages and tips then pay it? - Trish Sep 30, 22:53 7
  - And if not? - Qale Sep 30, 23:09 6
    - Don't get ahead of yourself babe. You can always file an amended return (or 5 or 6) ancorrect it yourself. - Trish Sep 30, 23:33 1
      - Thanks for that information. - Qale Sep 30, 23:37
    - I don't understand the problem, I doubt anyone over estimates their income, underestimate and your credit should be better...right? -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 30, 23:21 3

- Excellent news! Very happy for you! -- nm - amoxy Sep 30, 22:33

  - It took about 10 weeks to be approved. - Trish Sep 30, 22:32 1
    - Wow, nice. -- nm - GregW Sep 30, 23:18

  - I know, right? - Trish Sep 30, 22:29 4
    - We had a vaguely similar thing a few years ago where we had $25k in US hospital bills stemming from Zoe's massive seizures while on vacation - ralph wiggum Sep 30, 22:50 3
      - If I can do it (see Qale, above) then you can. - Trish Sep 30, 23:11 2
        
        Hmmm, that's helpful. Because we can't actually buy cover for her while we are overseas because of her pre-existing condition. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 30, 23:24 1

        I just want to know if you've noticed all the purple yet. It almost drove me round the bend and it got worse every season! - Trish Sep 30, 22:45
        
        Let me know when you've seen Ep 6 of S3. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 30, 22:19
  - ding -- nm - budice Sep 30, 20:59 2
    - Not clicking the spoils, unless I already know. Watching the next one now . -- nm - Spawn Sep 30, 21:13
    - but here's the crazy....spoils - budice Sep 30, 21:00

So today a nurse accidentally hung some albumin for a patient when the actual order was discontinued 3 days ago. My senior saw it running and - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 30, 20:29 21
- If it's listed she has to do it? And she can't just stop it without the say so of someone with the ability to order it so? -- nm - the liioulu with insects Sep 30, 20:43 20
  - I had nurses not execute orders because they weren't "comfortable".. if I tell you what happened last week ... hospitals are dangerous. - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 30, 20:56 19
    - Well she probably felt like the blame was placed on her. And you said it wasn't dangerous, so she's got no good reason to discontinue. - the liioulu with insects Sep 30, 21:14 18
      - 1) Just because it isn't dangerous doesn't mean it should be given. There is no longer any indication to give it. Hence it was discontinued. - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 30, 21:30 17
        
        You're not getting it. She obviously has no official order to discontinue. She does have a list that works as a written order. - the liioulu with insects Sep 30, 21:43 13
        
        My ass is already covered, I wrote an order to d/c a med and it was given. I won't take the liability of given this med by - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 30, 21:51 12
        
        Yes, her name is in it but it isn't her fault and I doubt anything will happen to her. Pharmacy or the previous nurse is where the problem was. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 30, 21:53 11
        
        Wait was she asking for an order to give it or discontinue it? - the liioulu with insects Sep 30, 21:58 7
        
        I think you are confused and thinking she wanted an order to stop it. Of course we stopped it. That wasn't the problem. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 30, 22:05 1
        
        See below. -- nm - the liioulu with insects Sep 30, 22:06
        
        She was asking for an order to give it. She obviously stopped it once we informed her. She wanted us to cover her ass by back dating an order saying - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 30, 22:01 4
        
        That was not made clear in your posting until now. - the liioulu with insects Sep 30, 22:06 3
        
        Sure it was, I got it right off. She wanted a CYA order written because she gave it (for whatever reason). I think your misunderstanding is because - Trish Sep 30, 22:22 2
        
        Exactly, I don't know the terminology so it wasn't clear to me. -- nm - the liioulu with less Oct 1, 15:39
        
        sounds to me like this nurse maybe had some serious mistakes in the past and doesn't want to come across the investigators again even if innocent -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 30, 23:25
        
        If a new order were written then this whole situation would not be investigated. I don't know about you, but I want someone to look into why a d/ced - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 30, 21:57 2
        
        So..it's better the patient gets something that should have been discontinued so someone investigates? -- nm - the liioulu with insects Sep 30, 22:00 1
        
        The patient already got it. Hence, I want it investigated why a patient received something that was d/ced 3 days ago. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 30, 22:02
        
        It is actually quite concerning how a medication that was d/ced showed up on the active list. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 30, 21:32 2
        
        ...in which I again mention that the hospital mistakenly tried to give my epileptic daughter her roommate's chemo drugs. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 30, 21:40 1
        
        Yes, hospitals are dangerous. That is why we try to get people out quick, we can sometimes do more harm than good. It is always ideal to have someone - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 30, 21:44
