Il 4 marzo, un incaricato di Trump presso il Dipartimento degli Affari dei Veterani ha diffuso un promemoria per la leadership senior. L'agenzia, ha affermato, "si sarebbe trasferita in modo aggressivo" per migliorare l'efficienza, con un "obiettivo iniziale" di tagliare la forza lavoro ai livelli del 2019.La mattina dopo, qualcuno ha pubblicato una copia di questo promemoria di "riduzione in vigore" a un gruppo Reddit chiamato VeteransAffairs, una comunità online di 19.000 membri. La copia era difficile da seguire, una sequenza di foto scattate sul memo su uno schermo, ma il messaggio era abbastanza chiaro: circa 80.000 posti di lavoro sarebbero stati tagliati.Domande e commenti si sono riversati, alcuni sconcertati, alcuni frenetici. L'agenzia aveva mezzo milione di dipendenti in ospedal...

When Dr. Shoo Lee, one of the most famous neonatologists in Canada, wrote an academic document in 1989, would never have imagined that one day he would help to condemn a British murder nurse.But more than three decades after the publication of his document, this is what happened.Lucy Letby, a former nurse in a neonatal unit in northern England, was judged guilty in two processes in 2023 and 2024 of the murder or attempted the murder of 14 children in her care and sentenced to life imprisonment, where she remains today.The case shook Great Britain, seeming to exhibit a timeless serial killer who, said the ministries, used a bizarre range of techniques to kill its tiny, often premature, victims: by injecting them with air, enduring them with milk or contaminating their feed with insulin.For ...

Dr. Joe Whittington, 47, was an emergency room doctor for two decades, but he still manages to find it difficult to calm his mind after leaving the hospital.While trying to do it by naping after a particularly chaotic turn, he continued to think of a victim of a motorcycle accident whose vital signs had returned, a patient who developed sepsis and another whose heart had suddenly stopped beating.His tendency to reproduce the events of the night - and his irregular working hours - often made him difficult to fall asleep. Over the years, he has tried to breathe deep, meditation and melatonin, before finally stumbled on a technique called cognitive mixing.The sleep strategy helps "force my mind to get out of that cycle and in a state in which I can finally rest," said dr. Whittington, who sha...

At 13, he had left the house for a free boarding school and free wheel, and for 16 years he worked full time; With the h...

The Israelis were gathering on Wednesday outside the Parliament building in Jerusalem to protest against the moves of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who, according to them to undermine the country's democracy and to ask for a renewed agreement for the fire for Gaza to bring the remaining hostages there.The convergence of popular anger for national and national security issues comes after Israel has carried out mortal air attacks through the Gaza strip early on Tuesday, ending an end to a temporary respite with Hamas that started in January.The broad sense of national solidarity that had surrounded the war in Gaza, started on October 7, 2023, from the attack led by Hamas to Southern Israel, now it seems to be frayed.There are growing accusations in Israel according to which Netanyahu's p...
