A 2-year-old at the center of a Texas brain-death dispute is taken off life support and dies (r/news)
- lilsqueakyone: Google Jahi McMath. That was a crazy situation. She was declared brain dead, but her parents refused to accept it. She has 2 death certificates 4 years apart.
- comefromawayfan2022: It’s sad that a two year old died. But I think we all knew that this was the outcome all along. That poor child died the day she drowned
- commandrix: I feel bad for the 2-year-old. Sure, you want to give the kid every chance to recover if recovery is at all reasonably possible. But at some point, you’ll do better to admit that there’s no point in keeping a brain-dead husk alive.
Child standing in seat and refusing a seatbelt cancels flight from Victoria, airline says (r/news)
- JurgusRudkus: Something very similar happened to me on a flight from PDX to LAX when my twins were 2.5. I was traveling alone with them and the entire journey was exhausting. On departure my son didn’t want to sit down in his seat and the flight attendant made clear that if he didn’t, the flight wouldn’t take off. So I had to literally strong arm him into his seat and PIN him down while he was screaming like he was being boiled in oil. It was the single suckiest moment of my life as a parent thus far but there was no way in hell I was going to let my child disrupt an entire plane full of people.
- succsforever: Every parent who has had a grouchy traveler child will read this and say “well, I’m not doing so bad”
- ninjplus: victoria sub has people who were on the flight talking about it. The girl was around 3 and they wasted an hour trying to get the child to stay in her seat while the runway was set to close soon. Totally idiotic on all levels. Dipshit useless parents who are fully to blame and crew members who should have turned around early enough to kick the family off so the rest of the passengers could get to their destinations. I would have been pissed.
What is a dark or unethical industry secret that you can finally share because you no longer work there? (r/AskReddit)
- lawlesstoast: The shear amount of mice present in long term care facilities. The city I live in, I have worked multiple sites. All have infestations they cannot control.
- Grim1067: The major cell carriers are pure profit in terms of the actual service. Most just don’t manage the infrastructure well on a regular basis. And most executive relations teams will just about give you what you ask for as a “one time exception”
- Cuddarfish: Not really “dark” but the markup you’re paying on prescription eyewear is absolutely criminal. Lenses + frames is a few dollars worth of materials.
Redditors who lost their spouse, what secret did you find out after their passing? (r/AskReddit)
- Dry_Clothes7489: My husband was conning gay men out of money via romance scams…
- daffodil-tears: Not me but my mom. She looked in my dad’s nightstand and found a little bag of white powder. Suddenly, all the little straws she’d found in his laundry made more sense.
- prunepicker: Ex-spouse. He had an affair while we were dating (1972), which resulted in a son, born three months before our wedding. I found out two years ago.
Medical workers, what is the scariest thing you have ever heard a patient say? (r/AskReddit)
- AlaskaTech1: I work in traveling eye care. When I was up in the Alaska bush, I saw a 21 year old patient who came with her 2 year old baby for an eye exam. She told me she became blind in her left eye when her boyfriend (notice I didn’t say ex) got drunk and punched her so hard he detached her retina. I was stunned and my face showed it. She then said, “Don’t worry. Everything is better. He’s nice to me now.”
- belfry_bat: Behavioral health patient once said to me “I’m a vegetarian because otherwise I would eat people.”
- quiksilver2101: Had a 2 vehicle head-on collision I responded to. Both occupants in one car seemed ok, then the driver says his back hurts. I asked what the pain felt like, and he said it felt like burning, almost like something was tearing…not too long after that he tanked very quickly and that was it..
