My clinic’s printers are garbage

What printer do you use that can meet my needs: Office quality, easy to set up, just hit my print button on my computer and it prints, I don’t have to buy ink or toner more than every a few months, is capable of printing hundreds of pages at once, and can scan documents more than one page at a time (I don’t want to physically have to feed it one page at a time to scan 10 pages. I want to just put 10 pages in the feeder and walk away and it scans them)?

I’ve been through seven printers in the past two years HP, Canon, Brother etc. All of them just start malfunctioning. I’m not rough with them. I just set them in my office and that’s it. it’s just over time they stop working. The one that I bought that’s the most expensive only works if I jiggle the wires a certain way. Thanks!

Wild Birth - delivery with NO medical intervention

Wild Birth aka Freebirth ✌️☮️ especially after the episode of the Pitt, do you wonder why some women have babies at home WITHOUT ANY medical intervention whatsoever? I’m a perinatal psychopharmacologist. I asked and about 100 women answered. Here are the top 7 most frequent responses:

  1. They had a misdiagnosis before
    Dr. comment: This unfortunately happens. That would be a reason to go to even more doctors – to get second opinions. I was told I didn’t have cancer when I actually did. So I had to keep going to more doctors until one took me seriously.
  2. The packets for the medications and vaccines list scary side effects
    Dr. comment: For legal liability purposes most, products have scary warnings. You still use hair dye, space heaters, and laundry detergent. In medical school I saw someone killed by their clothes dryer. Anything in this world can kill you. But it’s not practical to live life avoiding every product and object.
  3. They know someone who had a reaction to a medication or vaccine
    Dr. comment: That would certainly make me hesitate but people still eat after they reactions to food. Definitely avoid what you are allergic to but avoiding ALL medicine can be very harmful. If you child had an anaphylactic reaction to a strawberry would you tell everyone online to never eat strawberries?
  4. Women of color have a higher maternal mortality rate
    Dr. comment: That’s true. Can’t argue with this.
  5. Doctors are the third leading cause of death
    Dr. comment: Excuse me? You mean medical errors not doctors. A field that deals with death is of course going to be associated with death. Now if basketball players were the third leading cause of death it might make sense to avoid them.
  6. Having a baby at home is safer
    Dr. comment: I don’t think telling people on the internet that this is fasle would change their minds. Giving the studies would not change their minds. There is nothing I could say convince someone that believe this otherwise. I will agree that there is not chance that you’ll get a c-section at home so there’s that!
  7. Doctors in the US are not taught nutrition
    Dr. comment: You could only know what all doctors are taught if you attended all 200 medical schools in the US. I am a doctor and I was taught nutrition so this couldn’t possibly be accurate. But if a politician says this then I guess people will believe it.
  8. Politicians say not to trust doctors
    Dr. comment: Well that’s true, some politicians say not to trust doctors. But most doctors say not to trust politicians. You have to decide who you trust more for you medical care, doctors or politicians?

I’ve heard now from several brokers and consultants that big named malpractice insurance companies (starting later this year) are no longer covering telehealth. Has anyone else heard this?
