I work in the medical industry, and I have had COVID patients tell me they don't think this is legit. They are forced into these rooms in a shut-down hallway, and they don't have a say in when they can leave. They are being locked down against their will, for $3900 (at least) a day, for the hospital in Medicare kickbacks. I'm hearing a lot of people saying they will do whatever it takes to not do business with the place that I am at, because of the way that they have handled this fake pandemic. Trump had passed an executive order regarding hospitals revealing their itemized true costs of care, medications, and procedures. So when a hospital is suddenly "opening up" the building, that's what they're really doing. They are hiding the fact that they are scamming people for hella bucks. There are hospitals out there being investigated for embezzlement, fraud, etc., on top of medical malpractice, #1 cause of death in the industry.
One article kind of talking about what I'm referring to.
Nurse checking in tho I work in the service coordination end for insurance. I saw some funny business from nursing facilities from the beginning. How Medicare wanted cases coded.
As far as nurses believing the b.s. unfortunately you would be surprised. I'm completely against it and wonder when majority of nurses lost their marbles but they have. Just the fact they've let safe "donning and doffing" of PPE let alone being cool with bedazzled face masks...all logic goes out the window.
Some just trust that the gov CDC WHO would never lie. Thanks to a chem professor who also sat as a consultant for a major pharma company worldwide, I learned a lot of the scam of pharma. It is exactly correct they exist to profit off your illness not to get you better. Pro tip, the leading effective ingredient in a major cholesterol tab is apple pectin iow eat an apple to get same benefits and none of the awful side effects.
That's the bullshit I see too! The fact that it doesn't matter what kind of mask you wear is all you need to know about "protecting others from COVID"
I wear 1 layer of cheesecloth on the rare occasion I truly need to enter a place that has a Nazi refusing me entry. You can see my whole face through it. No one questions it.
lol CONFOOORMMMMM REEEEEE
I feel you though, sometimes I'm just tryna get my salami and mayo and get home.
So the old adage of eating an apple a day keeps the doctor away...
What I find interesting is how the goalposts for what is considered high cholesterol have moved in the last 20 years or so. My office had wellness checks and some of my colleagues were concerned because their total cholesterol was slightly over 200. I told them it was BS. I work in insurance underwriting in brokerage. I literally pulled out all of my guidelines to show them they would qualify for best class.
I suspect that they have played with the cholesterol numbers about as much as they can (my underwriter told me cholesterol that is too low us a sign of cancer - hard to work around that). But I have noticed the new one is now 'pre-diabetes'. Rather than diet and exercise, another medication to take.
They did the same thing with blood pressure numbers. The biggest kicker is that seniors need a slightly higher than normal blood pressure to actually keep them alive.
My husband was attacked with a hammer to the head and in the hospital for that. After a week he got out and the skull fracture repair was healing. He was surprisingly up and around. They had pumped him so full of meds and snuck in some cholesterol shit saying he was "pre diabetic". He kinda believed them bc hes a bigger dude.....until i started reading about the meds!!!! Long story short he ended up BACK in the hospital with pancreatitus that was worse than having f'n skull surgery!! That was almost another month where he got sicker and sicker and i watched before my eyes, my complete faith in any of these people disappear. We ended up leaving on our own bc we were so scared for his life after some.procedures they put him thru. All for nothing. I was so shocked and mad at myself that i didnt kmow how bad those meds were. How could we have known with never having to deal with that before? So now he deals with pancreatitis flair ups if he eats badly for like 2 days. But his head has healed as great as can be expected. He went in for that, got fixed, then got fucked my meds and still deals with it 4 yrs later
yeah well have a look at how they do cancer patients. these people are sick. just sit back for a minute and think about the type of person that wants to put their hands inside of you body after they cut you open... then quietly reminisce about cadaver theft to promote medical studies. its all a good fucked up rues. these people are sick.
My gosh, a hammer to the head!! Whoa. Incredible that he actually was okay. Glad to hear it. But pancreatitis is something I never hear much about. Can you describe what his flair ups are like? Thanks.
Yea was pretty random and crazy. Hit from behind by a crazy meth head in a public place where he knew nobody. Even crazier it didnt kill him or give him brain damage. Almost though. But mainly, he says it's like the worst gut pain & nauseating...very sharp when it's bad. He just gets very tired & blah. Has to lay down. The 1st time it happened post-op, he ate but then got suddenly super sick, sweating like ive never seen, finally puked like crazy, almost completely passed out....in the waiting room for post op appt! So it can get that bad
Injury increases the body's need for potassium. Daily requirements are already in the 4,000s...so that always comes to mind when I hear surgeries. Just FYI.
I did not know that
I transcribed medical reports for 18 years and also observed them changing the BMI calculations to make what was once considered a normal weight become classified as overweight, which seemed to result in prescribing drugs that otherwise would not have been deemed necessary.
And I was a med transcriptionist since 1970. I've noticed that they changed the cholesterol level from 250 to 225 to 200; noticeably after reports came out that cholesterol meds were bad or you.
Now that you mention it, I remember that, too. I never put much faith in doctors, and they ruined their reputation with me in 1994 when it took 5 of them 4 weeks to figure out I had a perforated appendix, and that was in spite of me telling them that's what I thought it was. Transcribing only further demonstrated the level of hubris and condescension that exists in the medical community.
I thought that too lol They move the goalposts for diabetes, high/low blood pressure, etc. Any way to make money
Isn't fructose is the number one cause of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease?
I'm a coder and I've talked about this over the past 10 months. About how normally coders don't code from lab tests, even positive results like hepatitis c or HIV as you would well know. Any diagnosis done with labs has to come from a dr, NP or equivalent and be signed. This is only time in history, over a decade of coding, I've been told to code from a lab. I was very suspicious when we got that coding guideline last March. I've only spoken with a couple of colleagues about this, as for now, I need to keep my job. It does turn my stomach. I look at charts all day long so I see the positive results and my conclusion is that they(WHO or whoever the tests came from) took flu tests and just repackaged as covid19 tests as we've seen no flu at all. That's the only explanation I can give or that makes sense to me.
dont be an order follower. we are on the precipice fren.
Huh. "Apple a day, keeps the Dr. away." True after all.
