/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

From the article:

The TV and film icon's estate was awarded $13 million as a result of a wrongful death lawsuit against Gila Medical Center in Silver City, New Mexico, where Nichols was treated in 2022.

Local station KOAT 7 reported the actress had a heart condition, and during a visit to the ER ... she allegedly did not get the proper treatment -- and was transferred to an assisted living facility, where she died hours later. She was 89.

Oh wow, I didn't know this was going on at all. Damn.

Yeah, well, heads up: black people and women consistently get worse medical care (regardless of income) and Nichols was both of those. Women's heart attacks also present differently, but providers are (used to be?) mostly aware of the male presentation.

You could throw in "elderly" as well for the trifecta. Hospitals are notorious for not approaching their concerns as urgent because there's this expectation that they're unwell and just going to be in and out of the hospital anyway.

Plus, if there's any confusion/dementia, they aren't the best at advocating for themselves.

Heartbreaking.
