Wrong thread? What does this have to do with waffles?
My experience in Paris was like yours. Everyone was friendly. I did speak a tiny bit of French to everyone I approached, but most people knew English. It’s a fantastic city and I would love to go back.

It would have been great if he put his money behind the pinephone or libre phone.
I wonder which Chinese OEM made this phone.
Foxconn, who else? Possibly in a Uighur slave labor camp up in XinYang.

So the app store will be full of porn apps that brick your phone after they steal all of your data.

Yeah this is malpractice not typically criminal. Seems especially… .I mean like what they got the kidney and called in the wrong person?

I’ve had a couple super routine medical things done that required going under fell anesthesia, and I got really frustrated having to answer the same questions over and over about who I was, birthdate, what I was there for, etc. I don’t have any idea how they could give a kidney to the wrong person without like 20 people screwing up.

Yeah some serious failures somewhere. I think the Joint Commission requires two identifies, but I feel like most the departments this has come up with requires 3. In addition, anytime IT, I mean even the slightest thing is discussed about changing a label… it’s a ton of meetings, discussing the needs, how hard it’s going to be to read and of course people doing the work.
I am wondering though if they contacted the wrong person. If that happens, I am not sure the providers would know because now they’re checking against the person who was brought in and it would match. They don’t say if the patients had similar names, ages, both on the list or something…
Despite the criticism of our health system, we’re one of the highest performing organ donation and transplant system(s) in the world. It’s hugely expensive, complicated, and we’re even introducing a kind of pay it forward system now to encourage even more donations of organs. They pay it forward is for live donors, which a kidney can be.

Even when I had cataract surgery this was normal. Every person, nurse or doctor, asked me the same questions. Then they actually wrote, THIS EYE on my forehead with an arrow. I’m glad that they did. But it wouldn’t have been a big issue, because both needed to be done.
When my wife was having her second hip replacement, whoever did the prep gave the surgeon the wrong info, and he came in to the room and said something like “ok, left knee?” And we all went, um, no, it’s the hip. Which was marked in marker accurately, and there was never any chance that they would have actually screwed up the surgery. But it shows one, the safeguards are necessary but they do work, and two, no matter how well-trained and prepared people are, or how often they do something, someone will screw up at times.
And the surgeon was not happy with whomever had given him the folder with the wrong info. I would not want to have been whatever person was responsible…

I’m not necessarily a fan of excessive sentences, but at the same time, I find it hard to be that upset here.
Maybe because white collar crime always gets a pass, while really generally more damaging overall than some dude stealing a car.
I wonder if doctors forgot do to the Sharpie guardrail on this guy.
The headline in the video: “unarmed and dangerous”. That was… a choice, I suppose.
Risking prison time to complain about the number of rivets:
The real WTF being this isn’t the first time this happened.
Violating the Official Secrets Act to win an internet argument. Worth.
Oof, I wish her all the best, but mostly good health. That can’t be a good genetic sign.
