Luigi had a brief stay, for 14 hours.

14 pregnant nurses and one glistening “Fertility Doctor” who just roams around the halls in an open bathrobe chugging orange juice straight out of the container.

[-] b3an@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Milk, actually.

[-] philpo@feddit.org 1 points 7 months ago

Depends on how big the hospital is... Just asked one of my clients....they have around 100 pregnant nurses at any time. Well,they have around 2500 of them tbh.

[-] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I was thinking the same thing, but apparently they are all in the same unit, which makes this more interesting.

[-] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 months ago

And all 14 going for a 1 year paid maternity leave at same time. Fun time for those at work 😜

[-] Sergio@slrpnk.net 1 points 7 months ago

paid maternity leave

Let me guess.... you're from Europe...

[-] zammy95@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah, I work for a hospital system in the states. We do have paid maternity leave, but it's to the tune of 2 weeks, not a whole year

[-] philpo@feddit.org 2 points 7 months ago

Wanna something to cry about?

Here(Central Europe)

From the moment you are confirmed pregnant you are not allowed to work in any capacity that could endanger you pregnancy - no heavy lifting,no night shift, no overtime, no patient contact that could lead to infections or endangerment (e.g. needle injuries, anesthesia gas, blood, violent patients, etc.). If the hospital can't find a suitable position (e.g. in the outpatient clinics,etc.) you stay at home with full pay - and you are basically unfireable, especially due to anything pregnancy related. Six weeks before the estimated due date you are forbidden to work unless you expressly volunteer to do so (and even then the conditions above must be met). (This is,btw, partially an international agreement by an UN organisation that the US refuses to ratify)

8 weeks after the birth the mother is not allowed to work (unless in very special circumstances), longer for twins,etc. The mother receives full pay and benefits, e.g. vacation days,etc. still accrue.

For 12 months mothers or fathers can stay at home with up to 1800€/month (depending on their pre-birth income), the same money will be payed for 14 months if the other partner stays at home for 2 additional months.(E.g. the mother can stay at home for 12 and the father for 2, or both for 7 months,etc.). The employer must retain the job for the mother/father under normal circumstances. Until 3 years one parent (at a time) can stay at home unpayed and the job needs to be partially maintained.

Parents also have a right to work part time in most scenarios.

I know, in the grand scheme of things for you at the moment this is hardly the most pressing issue, but you guys really get cheated over there. I feel bad for you.

Instructions unclear, Canada now pregnant.

[-] paperazzi@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

Most women aren't even fully healed by two weeks, either.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world -1 points 7 months ago

No that parasite usually stays around for 18 plus years, sometimes longer.

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Sources report that the tall dark and handsome radiologist is shitting himself.

[-] dryfter@lemm.ee 0 points 7 months ago

I once worked at a retail job where at one time I had to work the 7AM shift. I get there and I’m the only male and all three of the female coworkers were pregnant.

I learned more about the female body than any single man should ever know.

[-] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk -1 points 7 months ago

That women can get pregnant? I already learned that a while ago.

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 0 points 7 months ago

I distinctly remember reading similar news a few years ago.

[-] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago

That's conceivable.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 0 points 7 months ago

Is this related to the phenomenon that women who spend a lot of time together start to align menstrual cycles? Or is that just a misogynist urban legend? I don't even know what's true anymore.

[-] Strobelt@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

That's actually a myth. The thing is that menstrual cycles have different durations and time in-between. So given some time, those will coincide between them. Just like planet alignments and such.

[-] Object@sh.itjust.works 0 points 7 months ago

Were they all working on the same floor?

[-] Cobrachicken@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

On the same doctor...

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 0 points 7 months ago

This is similar to the reason that Commonwealth Edison, here in Chicago, stop the allowing the hiring of family members. In that instance the last straw is when somebody died in a third of the workers ditched work and went to the funeral.

[-] O_R_I_O_N@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

Shame they didn't have a nepotism policy before.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
