  • ICU level care

    Acute care, understood.

    referring to like, fists.

    i.e. “I need Olanzapine [broad receptor affinity, highly anti-cholinergic, well-tolerated], but, like, faster.” I’m surprised that particular aspect of the side effect profile comes into play with acute usage.

    I’m unsure if you don’t work inpatient psychiatry or you just work somewhere significantly classier than I do.

    Ah, yes, this happens a lot. No, I don’t work in the medical field at all. I just know things, for reasons.

    I do work in an inner city area that’s flush with people stuck in a cycle of drugs / homelessness

    i.e. the psychosis has done so much cumulative damage at this point that you need to fall back to the typicals. That explains why the third-gens are useless.

    On a different note, have you heard about Cobenfy yet?

    It obviously isn’t suited to the needs of your practice. But I’m really glad we’re making progress on alternative treatment approaches, especially novel ones like anti-muscarinics.

    Hopefully the new glutamatergics can reach your setting soon.









  • The events of Prodigy largely involved wormholes across spacetime in one universe (and incursions into that universe by bad guys).

    The quantum fissures in Lower Decks are connected to other universes. While this season of Lower Decks does canonically occur in the same time period as season 2 of Prodigy, I doubt the two are related.

    That said, with the specific call-out, I definitely see them having some significance later in the season.

    I was more surprised that the crew of the other Cerritos weren’t responsible for opening the fissure in the first place. The setup felt like it was leading toward a reveal that Captain Becky’s crew had ulterior motives.

    It was a bit disappointing that the twist only turned out to be Captain Becky opportunistically trying to swap universes. I was expecting something more like Stargate SG-1 9x13 (Ripple Effect) wherein an alternate-reality SG-1 is after me Lucky Charms a ZPM.
