A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

How is it in North Korea? Like seriously. I start to believe even they have a better health care system

I believe there’s a documentary out there from years back; journalists got an invite in and snuck cameras. The hospitals used old beer bottles for IV.

So still better than the US, that’s what I am saying.

Jokes aside, if the beer bottles work, why not. Can be sterilized easily. And still better than no IV.

You’re probably right that beer bottles can work. But the fact that they have to use beer bottles probably indicates that they can’t afford the necessary materials to ensure these things are properly sterilized in the first place. Because, if they could, they’d probably be using sterilized bags.

I agree it’s still better than no IV, though. You gotta do what you gotta do.

That’s the wild part. The people help each other even though they get starved by the government. Almost similar to the US, with the exception that a MAGA would rather die than get treatment of a Biden supporter.
