Refs need to have a stricter stance on holding out hands open.

Without a yellow card system the rules are gutless and anemic.

The most pawing and reaching for eyes with outstretched hands can get you is a "stern talking to".

Its never seen a point deduction or been treated as an intentional foul like nutshots can be.

This is begging for some rule reforms so refs can feel more comfortable taking appropriate action.

They don't seem to want to take a point away on the scorecards for it, but I would 100% bet if allowed and instructed they would happily issue a yellow card for a 2nd offense of not listening to the ref about out-stretched hands and pawing toward the eyes. Don't wait for the foul, issue the fucking warnings and if they don't obey the warnings issue the yellow card.

Because as of right now there is no ref thats taken a point for eye pokes. it doesn't seem to be a real thing even when the foul is committed with serious intent.

Unfortunately a ref reducing a purse due to in-ring performance in the USA is pretty much illegal according to the athletic commission and would require passing new policy and regs.

surprise?


Only one fighter missed weight, and that’s recent former flyweight title challenger Jessica Eye. She gave two thumbs down at the scale, and for good reason, as she came in at 131 lbs for her bout vs. Viviane Araujo. Eye has been fined 30% of her purse but the fight will go on as scheduled, even with Jessica exceeding the non-title limit by five pounds.

don't know about the multiple loading, but fudging the reason for the ambulance ride is normal-ish, at least here. isn't really a fraud thing, but get a old person that had some issue like bumping there head or dizzy spell that needs to be checked out and really don't want to tell them to jump in the car and drive themselves.

“Well, Marty’s been saying all these things that he’s more American than me,” Covington responded when asked the reasons behind his Trump gear on media day. “There’s nothing more American about him than me.

“Let’s be honest, my family served in the military. They shed blood for the red, white and blue. What’s his family ever served besides in the federal penitentiary?”

also earlier

idk, from Usmans POV which is obviously skewed, his dad was just unlucky dumb patsy

for reference

The Nigerian-American Nightmare: The remarkable story of Kamaru Usman's father

Kamaru Usman made it known on an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience that his father, Muhammed Usman, was serving a 15-year sentence in a federal penitentiary.

AngryGerbil how does this fraud stack up to your sniff test?

Medicare requires a Physician's Certification Statement (PCS) for payment of non-emergency transports. This is a form that explains why the patient must be transported and also why they must be transported by ambulance.

However, the EMTs or Medic also perform their own assessment. So if the PCS states that the patient is bed confined (and thus requires an ambulance) and then the EMT documents that the patient walked to the stretcher, then that claim will likely not be paid.

Of course falsifying medical records is fraud so we always tell our guys to do an honest assessment no matter what the PCS says. If the RN or MD wants to lie then that's on them, we won't do it.

There also exists a type of run (rarely used in my experience) called a 'Stretcher Van'. This vehicle looks like an ambulance but is not equipped like one. It is just the truck and the stretcher, no medical equipment. These are conceptually more like a wheelchair van than an actual ambulance.

In the past, Missouri did not require any medical personnel to be on a stretcher van, just two dudes who passed a background check. These days in my state they require at least one EMT and the other guy can be just anybody. However, this EMT does not actually operate as an EMT. I think the logic is that the EMT can more readily recognize a serious medical condition and know when the call needs to be upgraded to an ambulance.

The fact that a patient walked to the stretcher does not inherently mean that they didn't need an ambulance. That's only a problem if you lie about their mobility. If they need oxygen or an IV monitored or an ECG monitoring, they might still be able to walk a few steps to the ambulance and that can be legit.

Also I've loaded multiple patients many times before but these are always emergencies, usually car crashes. In those cases we do write a separate patient care report for each patient because the report isn't about the usage of the truck, it's about the medical care of the patient and each patient is a separate case, even if three of them are in your truck at the same time.

Anyone else getting an error when trying to order the PPV?

Edit: Never mind, I got it to go.
