My wife's best friend is a nurse at that hospital. She was on duty when that happened and had to witness the results. There were 'skull fragments' that needed to be cleaned up. It shook her up pretty bad.
Also, the wife was going to be placed in long term care following her release from the hospital. She had adamantly stated to the staff prior to the shooting that she did not want that. [Reply]

Was just going to mention this. GF is a nurse and the stories she tells me... you'd be surprised with just how desensitized the hospital staff really is. Death is everywhere in a hospital, literal units dedicated to it, and the majority of health care workers have seen gore far worse during a short visit to a trauma room.
This incident probably didn't move the needle a whole lot. [Reply]

I think it's a bit different when there are gunshots within the hospital itself. From what I heard, it was rather chaotic when the event occurred. Originally it was thought there was an active shooter at large. [Reply]

And this is the reason to make it legal for people to end their own life. You don't let her... you are going to put her where she doesn't want to go... then they just made it happen. Fuck everyone else at that point. [Reply]

I know you're joking, but the way Colorado does it is that you have to have three doctors separately condone it, and they have to be at least a week or two apart as I recall (to prevent rash decisions). [Reply]

So you are saying that Denver built in a safety network for their fans? [Reply]
When my MIL was dying from cancer my wife and I got her a pipe and some weed to help with the pain and help her appetite. It was so engrained in her brain that "weed is bad mmkay" that she felt embarrassed that she was smoking it and didn't want anyone to know. I told her that the only person she needed to worry about was herself. Anyone else can go fuck themselves. [Reply]
