Alice Augusta Ball found the cure for leprosy at 23. She died in a mysterious lab accident at 24. Arthur Dean stole her research, stole it and renamed it from "The Ball Method" to "The Dean Method." It took 90 years before her original research papers were found and she got the credit due to her.

The news has moved on, but ICE is still in Minneapolis. My neighbors are still patrolling streets, driving strangers to work, and providing aid. As a photojournalist at @propublica.org, I wanted to know: What do they look like in their daily lives? So I picked up my camera 👇

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland. And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

Yeah so anyway you're not getting discharged from the hospital the same day if you have internal bleeding in your torso. Even Grok knows that. LOL.
Hi Grok. If someone suffers internal bleeding in the torso due to a car hitting them, would they likely be discharged the same day from the hospital, or would they have to likely stay overnight for observation at the minimum

No, someone with confirmed internal bleeding in the torso from a car accident would almost never be discharged the same day. In fact, they would typically require at least an overnight hospital stay for observation — and often much longer, depending on the severity.Internal bleeding in the torso (such as from injuries to the spleen, liver, kidneys, or other abdominal/pelvic organs) is a serious medical emergency, even if the person appears stable initially. Trauma from a car accident often involves blunt force that can cause organ lacerations, hematomas, or vessel damage, leading to bleeding that may not be immediately obvious but can worsen over hours.Key Reasons for Hospital Admission and ObservationRisk of delayed or worsening bleeding — Symptoms or significant blood loss can appear hours or even days later, potentially leading to shock, hemodynamic instability, or the need for emergency intervention (e.g., surgery or embolization).

Standard trauma protocols — Patients undergo imaging (like CT scans or FAST ultrasound), serial blood tests (to monitor hemoglobin/hematocrit), vital sign monitoring, and clinical exams. Guidelines emphasize admission for hemodynamically stable patients with suspected or confirmed torso bleeding.
Even in "mild" or non-operative cases — For common injuries like lower-grade splenic lacerations (often managed without surgery), current recommendations suggest:At least 1 day of observation for low-grade injuries.
2–3 days (or more) for higher-grade ones, with monitoring in a higher-dependency unit if needed.

Surgical or severe cases — If active bleeding requires intervention, hospital stays extend significantly (often days to weeks), with risks of complications like infection or re-bleeding.

Same-day discharge might only occur in very minor trauma cases with no evidence of internal bleeding after thorough evaluation (negative scans, stable labs, no symptoms). But if internal bleeding is actually present or even strongly suspected from the mechanism of injury, discharge the same day would be highly unusual and generally unsafe.If this relates to a real situation, always follow medical advice from professionals — trauma care is highly individualized based on scans, stability, and other factors. Stay safe!
