In this follow up to last week's episode with Jen Hamilton, Nurse Jessica Sites and Nurse Erica discuss cancel culture and their personal experiences with it. They define cancel culture as a cultural phenomenon where individuals who are deemed to have acted or spoken in an unacceptable manner are ostracized, boycotted, or shunned. They share their own stories of being canceled, harassed, bullied and the negative impact it had on their lives. Nurse Erica talks about being canceled by the veterinary community after posting a video about her dog's health issues and her experience with a vet clinic. They also discuss the damaging effects of cancel culture, including PTSD, fear, safety concerns and the potential for it to lead to censorship. The conversation highlights the need for more open and respectful dialogue on social media and the importance of understanding different perspectives. They emphasize the negative impact of cancel culture on mental health and the lack of real social change it brings. The conversation also touches on the importance of standing up against bullying and supporting one another.

With over 3.5 million followers, Jen Hamilton has become a beloved online personality and influencer. But even she is not immune from the pitfalls of social media. Jen Hamilton, joins Nurses Uncorked to discuss her recent departure (temporary) from social media and the damaging effects of cancel culture. Nurse Erica and Nurse Jessica share their personal experiences as victims of cancel culture.
We dive into the Hot Mess Express, fancy ladies (silkie chickens) and Shower Gate!
Cancel culture is defined (Merriam Webster) as the practice or tendency of engaging in mass canceling as a way of expressing disapproval, exerting social pressure and the mass withdrawal of support from public figures or celebrities who have done things that aren't socially accepted today. This practice of "canceling" or mass shaming often occurs on social media platforms. Cancel culture is supported as a tool to stop offensive and harmful behavior, while others find it problematic and toxic.

New York Times best-selling author, Tom Mueller PhD, joins Nurses Uncorked for part two of the discussion on corruption in the Dialysis industry. His book is titled, How to Make a Killing: Blood, Death, and Dollars in American Medicine.
In the 1960s, dialysis in America was a miracle cure, on the cutting-edge of high-tech medicine. Dialysis represented the first time that doctors had replaced a vital organ with a machine. Dialysis became, in 1972, America’s first (and to date the only) “Medicare for All” condition, when Congress pledged to pay the dialysis treatments of virtually all Americans with kidney failure.
Since then, however, dialysis in America has degraded to 1-size-fits-all, assembly line care. Non-profit centers have been bought up by for-profit firms, eventually creating a duopoly between DaVita Dialysis and Fresenius . Harmful practices such as short, high-speed dialysis sessions (termed “bazooka dialysis” in the book), and the involuntary discharge and subsequent blackballing of dialysis patients, are widespread. Patient outcomes, mortality etc in the US are substantially worse than any other developed nation. Yet at the same time, cost of treatment has skyrocketed.
We dedicate these episodes (part 1 & 2) to those fighting chronic kidney disease; and to the brave dialysis patients, dialysis nurses, techs, and informants who continue to fight.

PART 1
New York Times best-selling author, Tom Mueller PhD, joins Nurses Uncorked to discuss his book about the corruption in the Dialysis industry. The book is titled, How to Make a Killing: Blood, Death, and Dollars in American Medicine.
In the 1960s, dialysis in America was a miracle cure, on the cutting-edge of high-tech medicine. Dialysis represented the first time that doctors had replaced a vital organ with a machine. Dialysis became, in 1972, America’s first (and to date the only) “Medicare for All” condition, when Congress pledged to pay the dialysis treatments of virtually all Americans with kidney failure.
Since then, however, dialysis in America has degraded to 1-size-fits-all, assembly line care. Non-profit centers have been bought up by for-profit firms, eventually creating a duopoly between DaVita Dialysis and Fresenius . Harmful practices such as short, high-speed dialysis sessions (termed “bazooka dialysis” in the book), and the involuntary discharge and subsequent blackballing of dialysis patients, are widespread. Patient outcomes, mortality etc in the US are substantially worse than any other developed nation. Yet at the same time, cost of treatment has skyrocketed.
We dedicate these episodes (part 1 & 2) to those fighting chronic kidney disease; and to the brave dialysis patients, dialysis nurses, techs, and informants who continue to fight.

Travel RN Coach (@lindseys_leisures), Lindsey, joins Nurses Uncorked to discuss her recent viral video in which a patient made alarming threats against their former ER nurse at Peace Health Southwest Medical Center. The repeated threats included very specific identifying details of the nurse's family, begging the question, how were they able to find this information?
The answer lies in The 21st Century Cures Act, first passed in 2016. Many medical professionals remain unaware of The Cures Act. And patients often do not understand the complications it poses to their care. Why do patients have access to nurses' full names? Is this a safety risk that employers should mitigate? What role do electronic health records, like Epic, Cerner, or Meditech play? Should patients have real-time access to their medical records?
Join us as we break down The Cures Act and it's ramifications.
