Well Ross that was horrible care and no excuse for it, granted nurses are busy but a call bell not working for even 1 shift is inexcusable. You could have fallen or been bleeding. Shame on that hospital!

I totally agree...maintenance in hospitals, is way down on the list of priorities it seems..the cleaners are poorly trained as well....there are nowhere near enough nurses....not even close

One nurse I met locally is working 3 part time nursing jobs because full time isn't hiring any more so they don't have to pay benefits!

Yes, it does have something to do with money/funding cutbacks, I think. Another problem may be how difficult it is to get rid of dead wood to make room for hiring on competent staff.

[...]but i have found 5 mystery bugs that i don't know what they are....even a good search isn't helping, so i pulled them out and put them into their own little container to see what they do.[...]

Pics please.
How big are they and what colour are they? Is it possible that they are juvenile darkling beetles? They start off light to mid-brown and get darker as they mature.

theyre a little more black than this now. im thinking black soldier fly larvae maybe....i took them out and have them separated in their own little container. the place i got them from grows all kinds of bugs superworms, tobacco hornworms soldier fly larvae etc etc etc.
finding lots of pupae now so hoping in a couple weeks the first ones will do the beetle thing lol

That's our socialized medical system, for you.

Where the heck are their Biomedical Technicans? Every group of hospitals has some on staff - both Mechanical and Electrical.

Good afternoon,
Had lovely lunch of filleted breaded and ,gulp, deep-fried turkey breast, Thank you @Killerbunny absolutely delicious
even managed to cook it very fast, not my usual shoe leather method, since I knew they were young birds out of healthy environment, definitely adds to the pleasure of eating. .
DH used snow blower to cut a path in the back four, looks like NCC park, only better,
noticed that the deer and turkeys also appreciate it.

Nope, not a mealie. lol.
I think you may be right about it being BSFL. I'm betting that somehow your batch got some mixed in during sorting.
Feed them some "aromatic" kitchen scraps - AKA a bit of meat leftovers - and if they go to town on it, there's a chance it's BSFL. If it's BSFL, they also really like spent grains from beer brewing. If you have any micro-breweries near you, that's a good source of free feed.
However, if they're super worms (which they do kind of look like), they are more into a similar diet as mealies. and they are much more cannibalistic and require special care.
