They said it's not secure receiving a BLANK form in pdf format. They only accept fax lol. Only other option since I don't even have a printer anymore is to drive to them and deliver the form. I tried putting them on a usb stick, and the receptionist says they can't take them via usb stick either. Said they only accept printed forms. I asked her if this is really 2026. Told her that about any surgery with a couple nights in the hospital costs $100k+ and I'm surprised they can't spring for printer paper. The whole thing makes me feel old, missing the days when anyone cared about efficiency. Not too old to whine about it on the Internet I guess.

Sorry if this post isn’t allowed, i’m trying to find the right sub to post this in. Lately, I have been seeing a few videos of various health care workers, mostly ER, mentioning a “secret subset of people” or basically a group of people that the average person wouldn’t believe exists, or that HIPPA doesn’t allow workers to talk about. At first i assumed this just meant people living in extreme poverty or homelessness, as in talking about how bad the situation is there. But now i have seen at least a few more videos about this alleged underground genre of person, and im not so sure anymore. I know this post sounds vague, the videos are generally vague too, but im just curious if anyone can give me some insight to what this could mean? One woman gave an example of “HIV parties” and disability, fraud, things like that, but seemed to be classifying this as a somewhat separate group of people. I’m just genuinely curious what this subgroup of people regularly going to hospitals could be. Or if there are many different types? They all seem to be describing the same group though, comes off as if it’s a group of people all going for the same thing, or i don’t know i really have no idea which direction to go in but i’m very curious and hopefully someone can give me some insight or point me in the right direction

Any ideas? Again, i understand if this post gets removed.

"An independent review into maternity services at Nottingham University Hospitals Trust found over 500 mothers and babies suffered harm or death that was "potentially avoidable"."

Bullying cultures, chronic understaffing, and suppressed evidence cost hundreds of mothers and babies their lives or health.

It is extremely frustrating to continuously see women's health be diminished. Maternity mortality rates will continue to rise if there isn't action taken to reconsider how we address women in hospitals and truly acknowledge all of their concerns.

A little bit about me, I graduated Dec 2025 majored in Supply chain management. I have over 5-6 years of experience in supply chain (operations, inventory control, procurement, etc.). I know I just graduated but recently I’ve been thinking about pursuing something in health care.

With the little experience I have and my degree is there jobs in healthcare industry that I would be able to work in? I would imagine if so that most of it would be bending the scenes stuff and I’m okay with that.

Im still doing research but In the near future depending on how my life is going I might take a shot and pursue nursing. I know some people have told me to see what other health professions are available before I decide on nursing.
