Pretty sure she'd be back at the first poop. Those things are like infection control containment nightmares 💩🤣

I mean, on a plane it's not like they can disappear with the baby. Unlike a hospital, where I once tracked down my hungry newborn several wards away after the nurses took baby on an 'awwwww' tour 🥰😅

We did the same thing when ours were little. I dubbed them 'instant grandparents' 🤣👍♥️

To go through minor revisions and then have the editor send out to a whole new round of reviewers is the absolute worst

I reckon that should be banned. It's quite striking how much regulation surrounds authorship conduct (ICJME authorship criteria, can't submit to more than one place at a time, must declare AI etc) but almost none for what the reciprocal conduct of editors should be.

Obviously URGH but Mrs Vinnicombe sounds like a top notch human.

Journal editors, if you put anyone through 2-3 revisions, that should be enough for you to show some gosh darned leadership and either decide (a) it is publishable without further review, or (b) it will not be published in your journal, and it's only fair to tell the authors so.

Totally agree. Healthcare for the well resourced and 'deserving' sector of the population isn't healthcare as most other high income countries define it, and certainly not as the WHO and UN define it. From that standpoint I'm not sure the US healthcare system has *ever* functioned.

Same same, but more luxe (and ideally not in a hospital bed obvs) 🤗

Insert 'why not both' gif here 🤣

From an Aussie point of view, I'm not sure when the US healthcare system was last... whatever the opposite of 'collapse' is. Like, when would you consider that it was last functioning well?

Some docs have selective memory about medical school. They forget the feelings of uncertainty and how helpful small kindness can be, and yet they apply their personal med school memories from 20, 30, 40 years ago, even if those memories have shrivelled and calcified to fit a personal narrative. 😑

I know. Even worse when you meet the abomination known as 'squeezy cheese' that comes out bright orange from a sauce bottle. Yikes. 😱

It's so weird. And I swear the butter wasn't like that in the 90s, or at least not in Boston where I was living, and I did plenty of baking back then too.

Yep, everything 🤣.
