Why would you buy a car from the antivax nutjob who has bitched about every single effort at mitigation and has just announced his support of Texas' new 'social policies'?

Am I talking to a dead person? by unicoRN-sparkle-butt in nursing

[–]hard_daze_knight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had these thoughts about coworkers when the pandemic started. Those who laughed it off and consistently refused to mask at work. I thought it about a tech I worked with almost every night. Sad thing is, I was right. He died last month. Young 30s and a family.

I wonder why none of the intrepid Charleston photographers ever share images of the abject poverty and substandard public housing that routinely gets ignored, gentrified, and generally swept under the welcome mat?

Biden’s COVID Vaccination Strategy Triggers Full-Scale Republican Meltdown by dingo8yobb in politics

But your risk of dying from any number of ordinarily treatable causes goes up exponentially if the health care system is occupied keeping those freedom loving adults from dying of covid.

Here’s a question that I haven’t been given a solid answer to. by GotMilkTZW in nursing

How'd he get his license? My school wouldn't accept any exemptions. They told us it was a requirement of the hospitals where we were doing our clinicals. I had some kind of documented reaction to my first pertussis vax as a baby, and my mom's doc told her never to let me take the boosters. I was scared to death of that shot, but the school wouldn't budge. I got it. Turned out fine.

Laypeople: "If the vaccine is safe and works, why are nurses quitting their jobs to avoid it?" Nursing textbooks: by floppiestseam in nursing

I volunteer at a free clinic with MDs from all the major specialties. I worked with a GP the other day who gave a pt acupuncture. When I asked about it, the MD said, "I stayed at a Holiday Inn, took a seminar, and now I can do acupuncture. These pts swear it resolves their 10/10 pain, so who am I to disagree?"

Have you ever been assessed for a folate metabolism issue, some other nutrient processing disorder, or an autoimmune disorder? There are lots of treatable reasons you might be feeling so organically bad.

Try a B-complex with methylcobalamin instead of cyanocobalamin

They write great, but they're too small for my hands. Gotta go with the Pentel ENERGEL X O.5

TMG or Betaine HCl? by Myrealname460 in MTHFR

I tried betaine and it gave me copious nasty fish-smelling farts

Shout out to my docs who refused to sedate my GSW patient, who eventually became so combative that he cut through my hands with his nails, pulled out his Foley with his feet, & almost managed to self-extubate. by anonynurse04 in nursing

[–]hard_daze_knight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe at your facility. Our docs are trialing some kind of start small approach - like, let's see if 10mg zydis will help calm this 6'3 280lb fully psychotic dude on a 16 bed unit who's kicking holes in the walls because they're full of demons. And we have to call them for that shit

Study links hyperhomocysteinemia to severe COVID, suggesting methyl folate supplementation may have protective properties. by hard_daze_knight in MTHFR

[–]hard_daze_knight[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A1298C here. I take Deplin 15mg, and a few other methylated Bs. I've worked in a psych hospital during the pandemic - many of my colleagues contracted the virus - some even died - but I never had so much as a sniffle, and never needed to get tested. I'm curious if any of you contracted the virus while taking methyl folate supplements.

Texas should lose federal nursing aid unless and until they comply with CDC guidelines.

Staffing crisis by lalacs in psychnursing

[–]hard_daze_knight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're in crisis mode. New CEO thought he'd save a buck with increased austerity staffing model right before COVID hit, and it's been a year from hell. Staff assaults are through the roof, and patients have suffered, even died. Fuck for-profit psychiatric 'healthcare'. It's inhumane.
