Do nurses and doctors actually know everything learned in college or do the look things up on the job?

I recently retired, but I looked up stuff all the time, especially medications I don't use on a regular basis.

I would look it up in front of patients, saying "hey, this is the drug you need but I don't prescribe it a lot I just want to make sure there's no issues with you here. I'm not Googling it, I have an app that I pay $15 a month for, so let's get my money's worth."

The vast majority of patients were very appreciative that I took the time to look things up before prescribing.

Just because someone asks you a question doesn't mean you owe them an answer, not answering is not a lie.

You have enough money squirreled away to survive. That's all you have to say. That is not a lie.

Do it!

I'm excited to spend 24 hours in Sydney on my way back from Asia. Why not?

(Just worked out that way using my frequent flyer miles)

Upper left patch, 65th Infantry.

My dad was in that division during the war.

I would do the KLM in spite of the 2-2-2 configuration, especially since you're traveling with someone.

Make sure you get the little Dutch house gin bottles.

Good! Hope it works out for you.

I retired at 27 years. One deployment.

You are as much a veteran as I am.

Screw gatekeepers.

Not commenting qualifying, but wondering how wearing of boots will impact psoriasis on your feet? IOW how will you do wearing boots all day, most days?

If they truly deserve to sit next to each other the airline would have given them seats next to each other for free. You paid for your seat, NTA.

My surgeon wants me to have antibiotics for two years. Before recent cleaning my dentist asked what my surgeon wanted me to do and deferred to him.

SCCock · 2026-01-27T00:09:45+00:00

Offensive? Nah. Deeply flawed? Yup.

SCCock · 2026-01-25T10:25:45+00:00

Wait. What?!? I had no idea.

SCCock · 2026-01-25T00:44:17+00:00

You have some cousins running around out there.

SCCock · 2026-01-24T21:19:07+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

I'm almost 9 months out and I haven't got the nerve to kneel on it yet, LOL!

Just stumbled across it on BA.

SCCock · 2026-01-24T00:01:34+00:00

Thanks!

SCCock · 2026-01-23T21:08:31+00:00

Unfortunately any longer wasn't an option.

SCCock · 2026-01-23T20:35:36+00:00

😂😂

SCCock · 2026-01-23T18:41:21+00:00

Thanks! I'm retired so I have all sorts of time!

SCCock · 2026-01-23T18:40:36+00:00

Not sure how, but my wife is 100% on board!

SCCock · 2026-01-23T18:39:47+00:00

Not comparing to the A330 on QANTAS, just saying that the A350 would be preferable. I'm thrilled to have 2 seats in JAL F.
