@malpractiice​ :   ❛  there are rules you have to follow if you want to survive  ❜

     Sᴛᴇᴀᴍɪɴɢ ʜᴏᴛ coffee has long reached room temperature, forgotten and tiny particles of dust starting to set on the surface. Not enough to be worrisome just yet (and truth be told? He'd still drink it if he'd remember it existed, he's put worse into his body), pen between his fingers idly tapping against the table. There's no specific beat or pattern to it, and it sure would be annoying if he were to register it (and maybe it is for her), but his brain is somewhere entirely else than his body is right now. Nothing unusual, he gets like that a lot. It's only gotten worse by now.

     "Rules've always been guidelines. Suggestions. Somethin' meant t' be looked at an' found ways 'round 'em, or through, if necessary. That's jus' pretendin' there's jus' one single outcome t' things. One single path. There's never; it's somethin' people who can't live with their own choices tell themselves."

     This could go deeper, of course, could delve into a whole debate over morality, but he's long abandoned the thought of being anywhere near a position where he could judge on that. (Not that the people that tend to do so are in any better to do such.)

      Dr.  Bennett  is,  by  what  he’s  observed  of  the  psychiatrist,  a  level-headed  professional.  Cool  and  calculating  in  her  approach  if  not  quite  as  icy  as  he  at  times.  In  a  professional  relationship,  this  suits  Thredson  well.  He  feels  as  comfortable  around  the  woman  as  he  can  given  the  circumstances,  and  he  uses  that  word  for  lack  of  a  better  term.  Their  work  environment  isn’t  conducive  to  anything  near  comfort.

      He  has  operated  in  many  hostile  workplaces  but  not  one  quite  as  demanding  as  this.  The  general  feeling  of  corporate  America  looming  over  his  head  at  all  times  is  also  a  new  experience.  He  detests  it.  When  the  government  slithers  it’s  way  into  mental  health,  only  chaos  follows.  An  interesting  view  for  someone  who  has  spent  most  of  his  career  as  a  court  appointed  psychiatrist...  however  he  certainly  values  a  scientific  and  government  involved  project  than  something  backed  by  the  church.  Officially,  the  Murkoff  Corporation  has  nothing  to  do  with  the  government,  however  Oliver  has  his  suspicions.  Power  likes  to  keep  power  company.  

      What  an  interesting  answer.  She  knows  far  more  than  she’s  telling.  It  seems  that  the  two  of  them  have  found  themselves  in  unfortunate  situations  perhaps?  Just  how  unfortunate  is  yet  to  be  seen.  However,  his  hunch  isn’t  acted  upon.  Secrecy  is  the  golden  rule  of  Mount  Massive  Asylum.  “Results.”  The  MD  lets  that  word  sit  for  a  moment,  making  as  much  of  a  mockery  of  it  as  he  can.  “I  haven’t  seen  much  in  the  way  of  science.  Actually,  I  haven’t  seen  much  of  anything  with  an  explanation  attached  to  it  at  all.”  If  he  were  irritable  or  maybe  stupid  in  general,  he  may  mention  the  paycheck.  It’s  clearly  suppose  to  be  keeping  this  chitchat  in  the  halls  at  bay.  

Holding  his  own  cards  close  to  his  chest  as  usual,  nearly  mirroring  her,  Dr.  Thredson  smiles  wryly.  “I  think  I  know  exactly  what  you  mean.”  

OSHA this week issued an additional guidance addressing whether employers need to record adverse vaccine reactions on their 300 Logs.

Accordingly, adverse reactions are only potentially recordable on the OSHA 300 log where the employer mandates the vaccine; where the vaccine is voluntary, OSHA is exercising “enforcement discretion to only require the recording of adverse effects to employer required vaccines at this time.” Employers “do not need to record adverse effects from COVID-19 vaccines that [they] recommend, but do not require.”

OSHA’s guidance also does not address reporting of serious illnesses, meaning the requirement for employers to call OSHA and report an adverse vaccine reaction that results in a death within 30 days or an in-patient hospitalization for medical treatment within 24 hours.  Presumably, OSHA would exercise the same discretion for voluntary vaccinations, but the issue is not entirely clear.

From the osha.gov site:

“Are adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine recordable on the OSHA recordkeeping log?

“Yeah? Tell me something I don’t know.” 

It wasn’t like Miles entered Mount Massive with the intention of taking advantage of the poor souls running free, people who were as terrified and alone as he was since he entered that fucking window. They’d been dealing with this shit far longer than the few hours he’d been here and he can only imagine what days, years, decades of this treatment was like for them.  Speaking of....

Miles eyes the woman’s lab coat, her name tag now barely hanging by a thread and he knew automatically who she was. Or... what she did, or didn’t do. Hell, he didn’t care, he didn’t ask questions - he didn’t need to. Maybe she was as helpless in what happened as the patients themselves but that wasn’t the point right now. Something was coming their way. 

7. What do they do for self care?

Quite frankly, he murders women for his own sick kind of self care. The killing of women, as in the act itself, isn't what 'helps' him but removing their skin brings Thredson a kind of catharsis. Making lampshades and other furniture items out of their various body parts is also a soothing activity for him as well as a sometimes emotional one. It's certainly a release for him. Oliver isn't very prone to caring for himself mentally. He's a workaholic and the work itself keeps him occupied but not calm. On a brighter note, he loves movies and will occasionally put on a film and relax with a glass of wine.

17. What piece of media influenced them the most growing up?

@malpractiice​ :  “ this place is a living nightmare. ”

     "Nᴏ sʜɪᴛ 'bout that, hu?"

     He has decided, within two seconds, that he doesn't like her much. That's nothing personal: he doesn't like a whole lot of people, hardly anyone in fact, at least initially. Still, he lets out a sound that might count as an amused huff maybe. Maybe. With some fantasy.
