@mitchellvii Unfortunately nurses aren't taught like they once were. I left teaching nursing 10 years ago because I saw what was coming and hated it.

SISTER HEALTH UPDATE:
Unfortunately this one isn't good. After my sister's heart surgery she spent 20 days in a nursing facility where she could do rehab.
Apparently someone screwed up and the hospital did not send instructions for them to administer antibiotics to my sister for that entire twenty days. Now she has developed a serious infection in her wound and they may have to go in and operate again.
She's back in the hospital right now and they're very concerned.
It's unbelievable that someone could be sent home from open-heart surgery with a quadruple bypass and nobody administered antibiotics. The nursing home itself did not notice there were no antibiotics.
Now my sister is in a fair amount of trouble.
Please pray folks. 🙏😢

@SternDrewCrypto Get some guinea hens. But how long until the government outlaws them?

🚨 BILL GATES TICK ATTACK: ENGINEERED RED MEAT APOCALYPSE UNLEASHED IN OHIO 🚨
The Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library in Fremont, Ohio just issued a public warning. The tick explosion is so severe that even historic grounds are now a bloodsucker minefield. This is not climate change or mother nature. This is straight up biological sabotage aimed at your steak dinner.
Bill Gates has dumped millions into tick research while preaching nonstop about slashing red meat consumption to save the planet. His network stands accused of funding scientists and bioethicists who openly cheer the spread of alpha-gal red meat allergies. Lone Star ticks are now blanketing the Midwest, triggering violent reactions to beef, pork, and lamb.
And what happens next? Big Pharma rushes out Lyme disease vaccines while Gates pushes his bug-based future.
Flood the heartland with weaponized ticks. Trigger mass meat allergies. Force everyone onto synthetic slop and endless shots. Profits for pharma. Control for the elites.
Your backyard cookout is under attack. Your freedom to eat real food is the target. This is Gates vision for humanity and the ticks are delivering it.
Wake up before the only protein left is crickets and lab sludge.

@DerrickEvans4WV And we should all invest in guinea hens. I have one and she is our watchdog as well. Protects my hens and hopefully eats a few ticks along the way. Thinking about getting more and just letting them roam the place
English
I’ve seen people talking about ticks but no one is really talking about the disease Alpha Gal that is spreading like wild fire all throughout Appalachia.
I forgot to mention, you can’t have dairy products either.
This is the biggest health epidemic no one is talking about.
English
@DerrickEvans4WV My boys hunt all the time and I am horrified. One got a tick bite last week but looked at the tick and it was not the kind that causes this. Instead of sending to foreign countries, we should post money into research on this. I personally think it was intentionally done.

Over 6.9 MILLION H-1b in 10 years isn’t a program to “fill extraordinary gaps”!
My EXILE Act ENDS the H-1B program entirely.
We have to start putting AMERICAN workers first!

UPDATE: My amendment to pull nearly $482 MILLION away from NATO and put it into AMERICAN military bases just failed…
333 Members of Congress, including 127 Republicans, voted to keep sending your tax dollars to NATO instead of prioritizing our own troops and military infrastructure.
America should come FIRST!

If your land is being threatened by a wind or solar project, and you wish to mount a defense against the proposal, hit me in the replies and also file a report at USDA.Gov/lawfare I am committed to protecting American land owners from egregious actions against their land.

@DC_Draino I am sure it is not the only one. Probably several with plans to detonate on command

This seems like it should be a bigger deal.
Allegedly, a bomb was found on critical dam infrastructure in Alabama.
Leftist terrorism?
Foreign attack?
We need answers.
Mrs B@attackdogX
Yesterday, Divers doing a routine maintenance check at the Converse Reservoir Dam in Mobile, AL discovered an underwater grenade type IED. The FBI bomb squad had to be called in to safely detonate it. The Reservoir and Dam are critical infrastructure, and this is being called “an unprecedented threat“ The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has been made aware of the situation.

@VinoNStrosGal I have several contractures from psoriatic arthritis, I am only 52. The PM clinic has never looked nor addressed my contractures or swollen joints, just treat me based on a bulging disc in back. If they would document and assess joints it would be adequate documentation

Most people asking for pain relief are not looking to “get high.”
They’re looking to function.
To sleep.
To work.
To survive their day with some dignity intact.
And when patients are automatically treated with suspicion instead of humanity, trust in the healthcare system erodes piece by piece.
Notice something else she said:
“The system is not set up to build relationships.”
That may be one of the biggest failures in modern medicine.
Because patients with complex or chronic conditions often do best when they have continuity, trust, advocacy, and clinicians who actually know them over time, not when they’re treated like interchangeable liabilities.
Texas Courtney@AlaskanCourtney
This is why I still get medical treatment in Alaska, even though I spend more time in Texas. The ridiculous rules around pain meds are difficult enough to navigate in Alaska, where I at least have my doctor and my nurse advocating strongly on my behalf. In Texas, I’m literally just another face in the crowd. That’s not a critique of the doctors here; the system is not set up to build relationships. I don’t want pain meds to get high. Frankly, I can’t stand the way narcotics make me feel, and I don’t tolerate them very well anyway. But it’s utterly ridiculous that I’m treated with suspicion just for wanting some relief.

@CaliRN619 @Dixiechick210 I taught nursing and this was always what I told them. I would make the mannequin stop breathing but keep the monitor normal in simulations to teach this. I got out of nursing because I saw what was coming and I have a doctorate in nursing!! I teach Biology now.
English
@Dixiechick210 All they know how to treat are numbers. I was taught to treat the patient, not the numbers on the monitor.

I’ve been an RN for over 20 years! In that time, I’ve gotten to witness so many changes both good and bad (I’m talking to you electronic health records!). But I’m truly horrified by this next generation of nurses that will be charged with caring for us in the not too distant future.
They’ve been trained by instructors and preceptors who have abandoned all pretense of following the Nightingale Pledge and chosen to subscribe to the Mengele Doctrine of using medicine as a weapon.
Once upon a time all patients were entitled to high quality, compassionate care, regardless of their crimes, their politics, or their life choices. Now, these nurses will smile at you while purposely withholding medications and treatment if they’ve judged you guilty of any offense to their worldview. They will literally kill you and go home and sleep like a baby. They may even post videos bragging about it as they’re doing it.
It breaks my heart that the profession I’ve dedicated my life to has become just another victim of the dreaded Woke Mind Virus. There’s no cure, no vaccine, and no treatment for it and it destroys everything it infects.
Happy Nurses Week to those who’re still practicing the art of nursing and a pox upon your soul to those who’ve betrayed their Code of Ethics.

@SharylAttkisson My Dad lost 40 pounds rapidly, muscle loss, severe aches and pains and eventually barely could walk. Took him off statin and he is improving greatly. Told doc and guess what, he wanted to "try another statin" I said absolutely not!!! He now takes apple.cider vinegar daily.
English
I took my husband off statins over 20 yrs ago after none of his drs connected his growing, severe leg pain and ultimately inability to walk.. to his recent statin prescription.
I was covering statin controversies for CBS News and it dawned on me one day that my husband had the same debilitating symptoms as people I interviewed.
He was suffering from rhabdomyolysis but no doctor had even asked him about his meds. They were giving him steroid shots in his knees over and over.
Thank goodness with in a couple of weeks of stopping, he got much better, though his legs never went back to normal strength and size.
A year or so later, his heart doctor gave him another statin. I objected. The dr said that patients who can't tolerate one can often tolerate another brand.
My husband wanted to take his doctor's advice.
Within a short period of time, I found my husband crawling up the stairs and in a great deal of pain.
I took him off statins again. Thank goodness, he improved a lot. No more crawling.
Throughout the next two decades, multiple drs tried to put him on statins again even though I strictly said he must never be on them again and explained why.
Sama Hoole@SamaHoole
Doctor: "Your LDL is still high. I'm adding a second statin." Patient: "I'm already on one. My legs ache." Doctor: "That's a known side effect. I'll add CoQ10." Patient: "And I'm tired all the time." Doctor: "Fatigue is common. I'll add modafinil." Patient: "My memory is foggy." Doctor: "Cognitive effects can occur. Donepezil should help." Patient: "I have a cough now." Doctor: "That'll be the ACE inhibitor I prescribed last visit. We'll swap it for an ARB." Patient: "I'm not sleeping." Doctor: "Zopiclone." Patient: "Heard that's addictive." Doctor: "We'll taper you with mirtazapine when the time comes." Patient: "My blood sugar has gone up." Doctor: "Statins can do that. Metformin." Patient: "I get diarrhoea on metformin." Doctor: "Loperamide." Patient: "I've gained weight." Doctor: "Ozempic." Patient: "I feel nauseous." Doctor: "Ondansetron." Patient: "I don't want to be on twelve medications." Doctor: "Anxiety is common at this stage. I'll add sertraline." Patient: "What if I just stopped the statin?" Doctor: "Absolutely not."

@HistorianUSA1 I am a struggling single Mom, and I have not so much as had my hair cut or trimmed in 2 years except for me doing it in the mirror, wear the same clothes I had for years. Priorities!!
English
Single mom of 3 daughters + 2 dogs + 1 cat just announced she’s ‘officially homeless next week.’
Both cars are dead: one she wrecked (front end ripped off), the other won’t start, brakes grinding rotors. No job for 1.5 years because her split-dye hair ‘scares employers’ in customer service.
Priority #1? Register all the pets as emotional support animals. GoFundMe in bio, ‘even a dollar helps.’ Can’t work 12s — no daycare.
This isn’t ‘bad luck’ or ‘the universe testing her.’ It’s textbook poor life choices:
• Kids + menagerie of pets before stable income or savings
• Zero car maintenance + reckless driving
• Unprofessional look that tanks job prospects
• Victim mentality instead of grinding
‘Strong moms’ don’t wait for donations while blaming hair color policies. They make hard decisions before it all collapses.
Reality doesn’t care about your vibes.

“What am I supposed to buy now—just basics? None of the snacks go through on EBT.”

@thomas_garrard I wonder how much this will add to the already ridiculous price of new vehicles

I can almost guarantee, that within 2 weeks of automatic kill switches being added to new vehicles, some Appalachian dude will have a YouTube video up of how to remove it. Will probably get you better gas mileage, too.

@17TBIYTC23 Flonase nasal spray. Opens the tube from ear that drains to nose
English
My right ear is hurting so badly.
Tried Sudafed.
Tried Zyrtec.
Poured some peroxide in.
Still hurts. Still feels full.
I’ll be damned if I’m breaking my “no doctor visits since 2019” over a friggin ear ache.
The dizziness is annoying…and less than ideal.
Thoughts?

@Notwokenow Congratulations. My daughter graduates law school May 2nd. A long road, but so worth it!!!
English
This is my daughter at her law school graduation. I wish I could find a better picture of this. But I was crying and clapping and bubbling over with pride and didn’t do a great job with the photos.
She was about 8 months pregnant and took her 2 very young daughters on stage with her.
And I think back about the phone call I got toward the end of her first year of undergrad, telling me she was pregnant.
She was 19, and on a full scholarship.
My greatest fear was that she would quit school, and disappoint herself.
But she didn’t. They got married. She graduated with honors. She had another baby and went to law school.
I quit my job and moved to Louisville to help out with the kids, to do what I could to make sure she didn’t get overwhelmed.
I’d only been to Louisville 3 times and I hated it. But I didn’t want her to fail to achieve her dreams.
She then went through a divorce during law school, got married again, and had another baby.
Several weeks later, she took the bar, and a month after that she had her 3rd baby. She passed the bar, decisively.
Law firms actively pursued her and she took a job at a prestigious firm.
It wasn’t easy. Not even close.
But she did it. Against the odds.
The life lesson: if you’re going through hard times, just keep going.
Keep. Going.
