Two patients are reportedly left paralyzed after a medication mix-up, and then come the apologies and “corrective safeguards.”

That phrase is doing some absolutely Herculean fucking lifting.

Safeguards introduced after catastrophic harm aren’t exactly safeguards — they’re lessons written in somebody else’s suffering. “We’re deeply sorry” may be sincere, but patients deserve systems designed to catch these mistakes before an apology becomes necessary.

So if you are writing a murder mystery and you want someone's death to appear natural, inject them with a fuckton of potassium.

It will kill them deader than a doornail and it will be completely undetectable as the cells in your body dump their potassium when they die and their cell walls collapse.

Almost all safeguards are introduced after catastrophic harm. It's why the phrase "regulations are written in blood" exists.

Did your AI image macro really improve this post?
