Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Sadly, it's probably still possible to get RCE. The good news is that most hackers would likely get bored and give up before achieving RCE on the target. 000
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 09/09/2026The sad thing is that I don't think they voted for this. They voted for so much more than just this. He gives people the freedom to be their worst possible selves, which is not healthy for society or humanity. 000
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 09/09/2026@hiltonhotels.bsky.social Ms. Lehigh very much enjoys being Diamond status (since she was a kitten), and she seems to believe that the Hampton Inn is her natural habitat, but she really would like to be a traveling housekeeping quality assurance inspector. 000
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Only $175k? At today's levels of corruption, that should be regarded by us mere mortals as just some "pocket change" he had lying around. Nothing to see here. Move along. 010
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 13/08/2026If you had a life-threatening emergency, would you rather have a doctor who calmly directed the team and explained your condition in a normal tone of voice, or one who ran around and yelled at everyone? In my mind slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. But I could be wrong. 010
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Authors have written dystopian hellscape stories as a warning. But this administration seems to believe they are a playbook. 000
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 15/07/2026And Yersinia is the OG, "The Plague," so maybe it's time for a comeback tour? God, I hope not. 100
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 15/07/2026I am not so certain that with our public health system on life support at the moment one week will be sufficient to accurately pinpoint the source. I would love to be wrong, but being trained in emergency medicine I am required to consider the worst case scenario first. 020
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Not "morally flexible" but rather "morally bankrupt." In other words, he was perfect for this administration. 030
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Advanced imaging (such as MRI) now has the capability to show brain death, but whether that's sufficient I do not know. As I am emergency medicine I'm almost never involved in that type of death pronouncement any longer. Back in my internal medicine days, yes, I did brain death exams in the ICU. 020
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Declaring someone "brain dead" is a process that often requires two separate physicians doing a specific series of examinations over a period of time (such as 12-24 hours). If certain medications have been administered, you may have to wait days to even consider a brain death evaluation. 000
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 08/07/2026No. In NJ, where I went to medical school, if the patient or family had religious objections to brain death then we didn't even do the brain death protocol. You also cannot just remove someone from the ventilator. However, once brain death occurs, the rest of the body will eventually shut down. 010
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Lehigh was not quite herself. I looked through our bags, and I had not yet unpacked one of her favorite toys. She saw it and immediately carried it off to the bathroom with an expression like, "Dad, I need some alone time with my toy. I'll be back in a bit." She is now back to normal. 000
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Speaking as a physician, there are some states that do not allow pronouncement of death based upon brain death criteria if the next of kin refuses to accept brain death as death. In that case, death must be pronounced by cardiopulmonary arrest criteria. But I am not licensed in KY. 110
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Calculus? No. Not calculus. And not chess. This is barely even the strategy associated with playing checkers. 000
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 04/07/2026A reminder today: Plan your activities so that tomorrow morning you can still count to ten on both your fingers and your toes. OEM replacement parts are very hard to find, and there isn't much core value left after a rapid unintentional disassembly of appendages. 000
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 25/06/2026I admit that I have little experience with certain feminine products, but many of the packing products I have used are designed and manufactured quite differently. There are only a few places where all I have is the old-school Merocel packing. Almost every place now has Rapid Rhino products. 120
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 21/06/2026It sounds like the DIY nasal packing I have often seen come into the Emergency Department. There are much more effective options, but they require a professional license to purchase. With those, you would just see a string or balloon coming out of the nose. 130
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 18/06/2026I cannot disagree with your statements. However, in this administration having credibility is an immediate disqualification for any position. It's not just pandering to the ignorant, it's elevating ignorance to the status of a virtue. 010
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 18/06/2026He did, in fact drain it. Then he filled it with something more appropriate for a swamp. 000
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 18/06/2026I have seen people die of invasive cervical cancer. Bleeding out from a cancer that invaded one of your pelvic arteries is not a fate I would wish on anyone. But people have choices about what they do with their body. I do have a serious problem with others imposing their beliefs on someone else. 111
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 27/05/2026A cat would be a welcome improvement, but I'm not sure any reasonable feline would accept the living conditions there at the present moment. 010
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Or, if the new office is on a higher floor, "Your case has been escalated." If not, it's probably not good to tell a client that their case has had a "lateral transfer" if the statement could be avoided. 010
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Cats do not understand the Reuben sandwich. Lehigh: "Dad, don't eat that. It's too dead. Let me cover it up for you." (scratches at the counter) Me: "It's good, it's supposed to smell like that. But it's probably not good for you." 000
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 14/05/2026He was the best statesman of our lives. 000
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Treason has a definition, and it does not include voter suppression. Is it corrupt? Absolutely. Are the series of actions to dismantle the US government to the advantage of a hostile foreign power treasonous? Absolutely. But is this one particular act treasonous? No. 020
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 14/05/2026It is, in part, a cost issue. Going single-payer would deprive many insurance company executives of their blood money. Much of what the US spends on healthcare doesn't go to the people who wear gloves and touch patients. Insurance companies take their share before any healthcare is paid. 100
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 13/05/2026It was already ugly, but the ugliness was not socially acceptable. It was hidden, it was whispered. Now it is socially acceptable, so people feel free to be their absolute worst in public. 000
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Nurses who know me will absolutely not be surprised by this present from an Emergency Department RN I just worked with. This was my second shift at this site. Night shift, of course. 000
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Remember one thing with people like him. Every accusation is an admission. He only accuses people of doing or being what he has done, is, wishes to do, or wishes to be. 100
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 09/05/2026I have fallen on the sword in the past multiple times for good causes. Thus far, it has merely been flesh wounds. I do agree, it's unlikely and my position is not popular with people who have power and control. 110
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 09/05/2026We would need another Amendment (in addition to the "People are people.") to fully fix that: "Money is not speech." 110
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Agreed again, but the long-term consequences if the Democratic plan succeeds are far more catastrophic when (not if) another idiot with dictatorial tendencies becomes the oaf in office. We need a reboot that respects ALL of the Constitution. An Amendment declaring "People are people" would be nice. 110
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Objectively, some things are better. But they are insistent upon gutting other portions of the Constitution that are, quite honestly, the only thing stopping full-blown authoritarianism at this moment. They are not doing anything productive to stop, or even partially reign in, the mango Mussolini. 110
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 09/05/2026This is exactly why I hate the brainwashing that the country must be a 2-party system. Both parties at this moment are bad for the country. They both want to use the Constitution for toilet paper, just different parts for each. If we keep choosing between the two of them, there will be nothing left. 120
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 09/05/2026They are just doing what the old adage says: "If at first you don't succeed, deny and deny again." 000
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Antiaxxers - Make chainsaws great again! Antilaxxers - Make constipation great again! Antidaxxers - Make the Dominion great again! I will now show myself out the door. 020
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 07/05/2026I would love to agree with you, but they have already performed all sorts of verbal gymnastics to invalidate the plain text meaning of parts of the Constitution, which is why we are at this point now. We cannot depend upon them to do this. 050
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Or, in some cases, "Try not to think how that high reading will make you unemployed tomorrow." 000
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 07/05/2026I am sorry you have had to deal with that, but you are not alone. Many people are freely showing their worst selves because they think their darkest desires are now socially-acceptable. 110
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 07/05/2026They want power over everyone who is "not them" but women, immigrants, LGBTQIA+, etc. are convenient targets for a variety of reasons. 130
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 07/05/2026To be honest, one does not need to be a gynecologist or female to understand the failures to offer reasonable and medically necessary healthcare to women. One just needs to open one's eyes to accurately view reality and have some shred of empathy. But I'm only an emergency medicine physician. 030
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 07/05/2026At this rate, we will be back to the four humors, bloodletting, mercury, and all sorts of other fun before the end of this term. 000
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 07/05/2026It's not done for stability reasons. If, for any reason, there is blanking of the horizontal stabilizer in that configuration then you die. The aircraft violently pitches up, stalls the main wing, and it is unrecoverable. 000
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 07/05/2026The center of lift in a conventional airplane is aft of the center of mass when properly configured. In order to maintain an altitude, the horizontal stabilizer needs to exert a downward force. No, the airfoil does not need to be inverted, but it must indeed create "anti-lift" in order to fly. 110
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 06/05/2026However, the original Wright airplane was a canard configuration. Both horizontal surfaces contributed to lift. 160
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Uh, sir, in order to comply we have to flip them upside down so they produce anti-lift, and then we have to make the bigger wings even bigger to compensate for that. 100
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 04/05/2026I am absolutely sick and tired of people blaming voters who cast a ballot for a third party candidate. The blame lies entirely upon two groups: those who voted for this and those who chose not to vote. Full stop. The Constitution does not demand a two party system. 310
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 03/05/2026Lehigh did something she has not done in a while. World, this is the original "Mousie" (pronounced mous-ee, non-binary). Mousie was Lehigh's first toy ever as a kitten. This morning she came into the bedroom with Mousie in her mouth. She was meowing, and then she dropped Mousie at my feet. 010
Dr. Rudolph D. Bescherer, Jr. @rdbeschererjr.bsky.social · 02/05/2026For some of us it is not a "small inconvenience" when we drive a lot. I'm talking over 40k miles per year. There is not yet a vehicle with the payload capacity and range of an ICE for very long drives. 000
