Still Separate and Unequal, and Adulting for all

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

This book should be read by every Adult, and our country must become more fully inclusive for all of us.  Gillon expains the importance of The Kerner Commission’s Report, which was apparently ignored, and then buried.

Following the Report’s recommendations, as Dr. King suggested, would have made, and still can make, a tremendous difference:

How sad that the contents and conclusions of this report are still relevant, and still ignored, today, 50 years after it was released in response to the riots in Newark and Detroit of the “long hot” summer of 1967. I found this book after seeing Dr. King’s response to the question, during the Memphis garbage workers’ strike, of what it would take to prevent or call off his Poor People’s March on Washington: the answer was to implement the recommendations in this report.

The report was commissioned to find out what caused the rioting, not…

In Alaska’s Covid Crisis, Doctors Must Decide Who Lives and Who Dies – The New York Times

There was one bed coming available in the intensive care unit in Alaska’s largest hospital.

It was the middle of the night, and the hospital, Providence Alaska Medical Center in Anchorage, had been hit with a deluge of coronavirus patients. Doctors now had a choice to make: Several more patients at the hospital, most of them with Covid-19, were in line to take that last I.C.U. spot. But there was also someone from one of the state’s isolated rural communities who needed to be flown in for emergency surgery.

Who should get the final bed?

Dr. ​​Steven Floerchinger gathered with his colleagues for an agonizing discussion. They had a better chance of saving one of the patients in the emergency room, they determined. The other person would have to wait.

That patient died.

“This is gut-wrenching, and I never thought I’d see it,” said Dr. ​​Floerchinger, who has been in practice for 30 years. “We are taxed to a point of making decisions of who will and who will not live.”

Avian Flu Diary: Alaska Activates Crisis Standards of Care Across 20 Health Districts

Crisis standards of care are peer-reviewed guidelines that may be used during a disaster or public health emergency when there are not enough health care resources to provide the usual standard of care to people who need it. They guide health care providers and systems to triage patients and resources to do the most amount of good for the most people in times of scarce resources.  Source: Avian Flu Diary: Alaska Activates Crisis Standards of Care Across 20 Health Districts

My soul is filled with poison of the world

Grounds For Hope

My soul is filled with poison of the world I can’t live among you people Life has become as complex as crosswords I hear bells from wicked steeples. The burning liqueur down my throat Is my relief from agony and from despair How foolish am I to believe That someone cares about my welfare. Already down, can’t get up Or if I can, what would be the meaning? A demon called me a lost soul The demon wasn’t dreaming. Don’t cry for me my dear mom, Don’t cry for me my sister. I have been your long lost son A brother without a home. A drifter. Tomorrow you’ll forget about my existence Tomorrow you’ll carry on With claims “depression was persistent” “his life just started; he was thirty-one”. Hate is killing you while you are breathing Selfishness entrapped you like a caged bird. I can’t live among you people, My…
