I haven't seen this from my own personal experience. There are lots of RNs and other healthcare professionals who are 60+ years in age that are still working.
I can relate to this topic and comment very much. I switched to the health care industry and became an RN after 15+ years of coding for a living. I've always been drawn to computers and programming since I was a child with my first computer being a Commodore 64 + basic. For me, it was years and years of dissatisfaction with code that eventually became obsolete and abandoned. Or having to continually look for new work because you never know when the next round of layoffs were going to take place. It was soul sucking with 12 to 16 hours of work daily due to deadlines and almost no free personal time. What good was I creating and who was I helping or benefiting? What would I be remembered for decades later? Creating that cool 3D shading plugin or power script that no uses or remembers anymore?
Things are a lot better now and I make a decent amount of income with nursing. I still work 12 hours daily but usually 3 shifts per week and can pick up extra shifts if I want plus per diem work at other facilities. It sounds corny but I feel like I'm making a difference in people's lives. It's a great feeling when a family member thanks me personally for the care I provided to their loved one. And, I still dabble in some personal programming projects in my free time with Debian as my primary OS. That passion is still with me and will never go away.
This $20 wireless quick charger for my S7 works pretty darn fast. Is it faster than wired charging? Probably not but it's fast enough for my needs and is convenient. And I'm happy Apple is finally jumping on the wireless charging band wagon.

Don't you mean auscultation of the brachial artery? I don't think you'll hear any Korotkoff sounds from the veins. I agree with you about slowly releasing the cuff while listening for that first sound to get an accurate systolic pressure.
In regards to the Chinese cracking the DRM for Dragon Age: Inquisition, how about we support the developers of these games instead of supporting piracy. If this title is supposedly the best RPG in a decade, shouldn't the developers and everyone involved be rewarded for their hard work?
The CD4 receptors on the surface of our T cells are used by HIV to gain entry into the cell. The concept is similar to a lock and key mechanism. A very small minority of people in the world (I thought it was less than 1% actually, not 10%), have a mutated CD4 receptor. So the key used by HIV to gain entry doesn't work, access to the cell's nucleus is blocked and replication of the virus does not occur.
