MORE DEI HIRES?????

THE GENERAL IQ around SACTO isn’t ROCKET SCIENCE territory

[cyclotic]

Wow, if that’s true there’s no penalty great enough

[packagingguy]

This is not at all surprising if you’ve been at a hospital recently.

[xoxox]

big med has been borked for decades.

[thescourged1]

They went cheap, I would hit them for double or triple that.

[xoxox]

Aren't you exaggerating a bit?

[BradyLS]

Okay, the diabetic checked into the hospital. What I don’t see in the excerpt is how she died and how the snafu (or coverup) took place.

[mykroar]

Yeah, this is going to be a huge payout. On the other side, is this a thing?

and her fingerprints couldn’t be obtained for any keepsakes

I've never heard of that.

[Seruzawa]

Notice that an autopsy can no longer be done. I suspect the hospital killed her through negligence and then shipped the body off and then clammed up.

Who would want to keep fingerprints as keepsakes?

[T. P. Pole]

I was thinking to use it to unlock a phone.

[heartwood]

I know people who are getting tattoos of a loved one’s fingerprints. Or you could have a pendant or a charm made. No thank you, not for me.

Who would want to keep fingerprints as keepsakes?

It strikes me as odd, but upon reflection I guess it's not that much stranger than a lock of someone's hair as a keepsake.

Hospital transport units are ridiculous that lost me for hours last time I was in.Never leave a family member alone in a hospital for testing.They will be stuck in a hallway or dungeon somewhere.

My wife makes clay paw prints of our dogs before they go the big dog park in the sky. Never heard of doing that for a human though. Except maybe kindergarten kids.

[two-edged-sword]

Evidently many people do. If you do a search there are jewelry companies that will make items for them like legacytouch.com. (Not me Thank You) The only thing I’ve heard of that’s even stranger, at some point you could have the deceased ashes (or a portion of them) made into a diamond that you could set into a jewelry. Check out saintdiamonds.com for further information.

[ronniesgal]

why the fingerprints?

[roadcat]

I suspect the hospital killed her through negligence and then shipped the body off and then clammed up.

Yes. Most plausible explanation. DEI hiring of doctors and/or nurses that killed her, and conspired to hide the evidence. Remember, not every doctor is an A student, plenty of C average doctors who make mistakes.
