My last employee orientation really didn't like me saying to the group of 10 or so "anti-union speeches should be just as illegal as insinuating we aren't allowed to discuss wages"

And also I have called a new employee a fucking idiot for saying "guys we aren't supposed to talk about wages" when the topic came up one day and "I'm gonna get a manager" when the discussion continued.

Klingon has an empty crate bounce off him and he's ready to end it all.

I get tortured in a mind prison for decades, and I'm expected to show up for work the next day...

man it must’ve sucked so much ass being a nurse during COVID

Hands down, no question. It was still the early days, april 2020, so I am a bit less forgiving than later in 2020. Nurses already got the short end of the medical stick even before covid

this instance was just particularly memorable.

A nurse once told me to "mind my own fucking business" when I said "are you fucking kidding me?" to seeing her pull off her mask to cough into her hand and go back to the shit she was working on during covid lock downs. In the ER nurses station, surrounded by nurses with asks completely down or with noses poking out.

There was on one that I've been in, not sure about this one.

From my understanding, when an MRI is emergency stopped it doesn't stop immediately, and it causes a lot of damage, so staff are less likely to use it in an emergency. Stupid, yes. But when you're worried about getting fired for hitting a button, you're less likely to think of a situation as an emergency. You would think "chain strangling a man" constitutes an emergency though...

As for the staff not stopping the guy making a beeline for the door with more than just words, I'm not sure. I would prefer staff tackle me to the floor rather than let me blithely walk to my doom. Of course I'm only in my 30s...

The hospital is absolutely partly to blame, especially if they didn't properly convey the danger beforehand. All 3 hospitals I've recieved an MRI from have been pretty insistent about making sure I have no metal on or around me before I go in the doors though.

I'd say it's about 60/40 on the hospital.

Tldr for safety

To actually answer your question instead of piling on, it's a hospital, not a prison. In case of emergencies, the door absolutely cannot ever be potentially locked, even while the machine is on.

With how easily something can go wrong in an MRI, they need quick access without the addition of special keya/badges to get inside or relying on people inside to hit some lock release.

In cases like this it makes perfect sense to have a lock because an idiot was outside and ignored all the warnings. A lock would have prevented everything that followed him entering.

Buuuuuuut unfortunately we can't cater the entire world to the biggest idiots, if only for the safety of the less idiotic who might have a heart attack in the MRI and need to be quickly pulled out, or a piece of metal that snuck into their food and is now ripping out their insides.

In most situations where an emergency happens inside, quick reactions save lives, and locks slow reactions down to the slowest mechanism, which might be "I don't have the right RFID badge, go find another person who has one or the guy inside dies"

how did it not throw up red flags all around letting this guy wear it around that machine.

He wasn't allowed in the room.

His wife panicked in the MRI, he charged into the room he was told not to go Into.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't know of any 1st grade classes teaching financial literacy, nor high school classes focusing on how to play a recorder.

I did have a few weeks that focus on domestic finances in 8th grade. That almost nobody paid attention to. So there's at least one school that did both 20 years ago...

I got detention for a week because when one of my classmates did this to me I hit him with mine.

No ragerts.

Thanks for reminding me, I just moved halfway across the state and need to replace things.

Matthew 6:5

And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

But of course, none of them have ever read these words, that would require reading the Bible in some form or another.
