I think it really could be, if administration could understand the limitations of the IT side. And/or the corporate/entity cared to spend the money to make it happen (Like re-hiring the IT department so that everyone was on the same page).

I wish it could, but even I wouldn't think that it would be financially efficient to try and "fix" what already works. And Epic is just one of the critical programs.... there's a lot of in-between.

If it were my hospital to run; I'd wanna test-run linux desktop in some capacity, because I bet it could be made to work better/cheaper. But it's one of the most extensive hospitals in the state, with a LOT of everyone around using their services in some capacity. I can't imagine them shelling out the extra capital to "decide" if there would be "long-term gains". It's not financially smart "short-term", even if financially better "long-term.

But switching to Libre Office? I was surprised. Maybe one day we'll get there

Probably not honestly, but switching to Libre Office was probably relatively easy and saves way more than it cost to pay IT to get it running on the network.

But switching the desktop environment for the entire hospital system, I could see being costly (in labor costs). Plus, I'm not sure that the EMR (Epic) would play nice, or any of the other various critical programs they use. Definitely a much different (and probably difficult) task to pull off smoothly, compared to switching Office for Libre

I work in a very large hospital. I left for 3 years and just came back. When I went to open a document at work, it opened in Libre Office. I was pretty surprised that they ditched Microsoft Office for Libre. Makes financial sense to me, especially because most of our use-cases are simply opening and reading a document or slideshow. But I was still surprised they made that switch, and I doubt half of the employees honestly even notice that much

Now, they still run Windows Desktops, and I doubt that would ever switch in my lifetime. So no linux for us. But still pleasantly surprised at the step forward

Same, thought it might go in a different direction

And I appreciate it. First time for me

For skin grafts after burns; the leeches' saliva has anticoagulants that helps blood flow through the microvasculature (tiny blood vessels) of the area. This helps promote growth of new blood vessels, as well as improve the health of the current blood vessels in the area.

TLDR: Helps tiny blood vessels in skin grafts (and other procedures), reduces failure of said skin grafts

I thought it was funny. Maybe I'm just old or naive and not familiar with this format; but I was amused.

That is not the case. It's a standalone device that you can play pc games on. It is very similar to the switch in design, but able to play a whole lot more. You should definitely look into it.

Oh my Gob! It's adventure time... come'on grab your friends

Went to check out the "Mr and Mrs Smith" series on Prime (with Donald Glover), and was notified that there would be ads now unless I upgraded. I almost never watch anything on Prime, but figured "why not, I already have it"... and then immediately closed it when I saw that message. Switched back over to Stremio, cause why the fuck would I watch ads when I already pay for the service? Gotta convince the wife to cancel Prime, but it's next on the chopping block. Only ones left will be youtube music (family still uses it) and Debrid (which will stay for as long as it's good). Netflix, Hulu, Disney, ESPN, HBO... all of them gone

That's a fucking great bot!
