Comment on Vaccines – a victim of its on effectiveness by psychonauticalmindbloom

What I have to say is that people who are healthy and have strong immune systems shouldn’t get these shots because chances are you won’t get it & if you do your body will take care of it(in almost no time with medication). I personally know a firefighter who has always been against seasonal flu shots, he was forced to get the swine flu vaccine because he is a healthcare worker & in almost no time he was very sick. If your old and your worried then get it. If your worried about your children give it to them, but if your pretty healthy theres no need to trick your body with that processed crap..

Which says more about the people than it does about the person.

Agree, yes, he felt that way. He said so.

It was just confusing that your first comment didn’t say that and kind of just ‘arrowed’ the the bystanders of this anecdote.

You can understand, but others don’t share the same view. I can understand that a classmates fiercely defends his answer against his examiner but it will not stop him from being failed.

I still stand by my statement that this is not the way to build your reputation on your first surgical rotation. Heroics don’t even come into the picture.

Maybe your NMO needs a little orientation, a little time to settle in. Even a surgeon like me can understand that. Leave your heroics out of my operating field.

Why? If they were not asked, should they deserve an equal measure of contempt for not volunteering to work 56hrs of a surgical call on a day where their farewell gathering is, towards the end of a posting?

If a comparison to the past is the yardstick, it was not too long ago that registrars-on-call never called the consultant, ever, despite the difficulty of the case. Should the registrars now be condemned for calling the consultant for help in difficult cases?

Considering that neurosurgical calls were 72 hours long not so long ago, I think J, H, K and TJ deserve an equal, if not greater, measure of contempt.

Guilt complexes and ridiculous demands (that only reflect how utterly STUPID and ungracious one can be).

lol… your predicament sounds so familiar. On the nursing side the admin ppl demand that we update the pt family communication chart daily instead of previous three times a week to avoid that kind of trouble.

“So you want me to update you or your brother?”

“are you the main caregiver. how is he previously?”

“did he eat well at home?”

I can’t resist asking a few “probing” questions to call their bluff.

lolz…

the daughter refused to take pt home unless he started walking. rehab ppl now in attempt to relish hitherto undiscovered potential.

Have hope J. Miracles do occur when you least expect it.
