Because I actually love these, but keep forgetting to do them. Having seen a couple on my reading list go by in the last hour or so, this time I remembered.

[community profile] questionoftheday asks: Is there one particular TV channel you find yourself glued to most of the time? What about netflix or youtube? What type of content do you always find yourself watching?

We have a roku TV with no actual TV service, just subscriptions to Hulu and Amazon Prime as well as my mom's Netflix login which intermittently works for us. These were only ever used when we wanted to watch a specific thing ... until we learned that nothing calms our ball-of-stress dog down like the voices of Gibbs from NCIS and Grissom from early CSI. So it's basically early-00s crime show reruns. Often. There in the background for him to listen to while the humans are doing other things ... but our apartment is so small everyone can hear it.

Sometimes it's rewatching ReGenesis, though that actually calms me down and not the dog, and we're still talking about the same time period. I only watch two things that are currently airing: Chicago Med (because it is SO ACCURATE? I'm constantly in shock; the timeline is super sped up of course because it's TV but they're not pulling shit that is wrong or makes no sense unlike every other medical TV show I've ever seen - I watched one episode because a then-colleague's case was on it and then kept watching because of its realism even despite being a TV drama) and Elementary.

I just have to take a moment to marvel at my job's medical record system, because I was going through my census to check everyone's appointments with people who are not me, and saw that two people had the same medical record number and birthdate. Obviously this was not right (I am not the one who inputs the data onto this spreadsheet, I just use it all the time), so I had to track down which one was wrong.

Well.

If Patient #1 had the MRN of 1234, patient #2's was 1324.

Their birthdates were correct - the same. My census is organized in order of people signing up to the program, and these two just happened to land next to each other. With the exact same DOB and MRNs one digit off.

What are the odds.
