I must be an atypical nurse. Working on the front lines I listened to the docs that spent 12-16 hours caring for the covid patients when things ramped up in 2020. They went home exhausted, but still reaching out to see what was working and what wasnt; then, coming back the next day and sharing their information. I did the same thing...I hunted & researched for "truths". Then, protocols and algorithms were issued by the FDA, NIH, CDC, WHO, yetta yetta. The docs didn't have to think anymore...follow the protocol. I watched; I observed. I saw trends...what was working (sometimes) and what wasn't working. When the talk of a vax was announced, I had co-workers chomping at the bit; I decided I would wait. First, I don't want to take that opportunity away from someone that feels that strongly about it. Secondly, I wasn't convinced that the vax was not part of the "trick". I am NOT vaxed and I am content with my decision.
Do I self-diagnose? Sometimes. You are the best witness of your symptoms and what you are experiencing. I did diagnose my husband with Lyme disease when the docs missed it/misdiagnosed it; I did diagnose my husband with laryngeal sensory neuropathy after doing extensive searching which allowed him to be treated appropriately by our PCP after I sent him several articles about the issue. I even met the ENT doc that had an article published by ENT Today that named and described the problem along with publishing the treatment.
It seems as though most of you regard nurses as "awake". Why? And, you assume that the amount of education equals intelligence and common sense. I have learned (especially in the last 3 years) that the length of education doesn't equate intelligence and common sense.
Am I arrogant? No. Am I pushy? Absolutely! I am YOUR BIGGEST ADVOCATE! If I believe you are being mis-managed, I will be the biggest PIA on your behalf.
To give you an example, I was recently doxed (based on my posts on this site) because I defied a doctor's orders. I had a conversation with the doc; I shared my concerns for this patient. I was reported to my boss...and then, I recd a "Consumer Complaint" from the Attorney General's Office that I was a "danger to patients".
At first, I was naive enough to think the incidents were not connected. As I delved into deeper, I am sure it was initiated by the doctor via someone else. I stand by my decision.
My observations are: it doesn't matter what occupation you are in, you can be just as clueless! You either question things or not. You look for answers or you wait for someone to hand-feed them to you. Most of you should realize that "dumbing down" the education system was not limited to elementary, secondary, and high school, but higher education as well....just saying as a nurse.
Just recently read the "Fact Sheet" published by Gilead. Under adverse effects, no where did it state anything about kidney damage, kidney failure, etc. It did mention hepatic impairment/failure. My observations were that kidney numbers would begin rising and/or respiratory status would soon become compromised if not already. I do believe many people who received remdesivir will see kidney insufficiency/failure sooner rather than later. Unfortunate.
I am aware that hospitals were paid bonuses for using the Covid protocols (remdesivir), but now i am hearing that doctors were paid bonuses/incentives directly for using Remdesivir. Anyone have any information/publications with this information? I’d better watch out…I may get doxed again…
The way that it continues to be pushed back a day or two has me wondering…is this for the DS to cause panic & fear and finally convince them it’s all a “blowhard”? Then, the “big something “ is executed upon the DS? Keep them confused and guessing (us too).
Why suicide? Why now? She uncovered so much. She presented it in such a logical way. I understand that a great deal of the info was difficult to accept, but so many people are grateful for the research/work that she did.... I hope this is just a way to get her out of harm's way...by faking her death.
My opinion was the protocol (or lack of) for "early" covid symptoms. Fox example, a person begins to experience early symptoms: fevers, body aches, weakness, dyspnea on exertion...after a few days they go to their local ER. They are swabbed for Covid...+Covid. VSS(vital signs are stable). Patient is asked: "are you having trouble breathing?" Response: "No". Discharge instructions are: "go home, isolate, treat fever & body aches with ibuprofen and/or tylenol. Come back if you begin experiencing breathing issues". THIS allowed the pneumonia to gain a strong hold. For some people, their bodies did not have the resilience to overcome this. Early interventions were NON-EXISTENT! As a nurse this pisses me off! There should have been home nebulizer machines ordered, steroids, zinc, vitamin C, etc. Of course, the "suppressed meds" like IVM & hydroxychloroquine should have been ordered. Many of the patients that I cared for had been to the ER/clinic with early symptoms, tested +, & sent home. By the time they returned the pneumonia had set in and they were exerperiencing serious hypoxia. For some patients we tried positive air pressure oxygenation like CPAP/BiPAP. For others with severe hypoxia there was no other option except intubate & ventilate. I am infuriated with the "early protocol" which is NO TREATMENT!
I love this. That is wonderful. I am very happy to hear how healthy he is! I don't care if he disconnected the IV on purpose and let it drain to the floor...of course, I did not know anything about this med until I began seeing downward trends in kidney function and began researching it on my own. In some respects, I am embarrassed to be part of the current healthcare system.
She is inspiring. I could be the next one to be fired. I refused to administer Remdesivir to a patient 2-3 weeks ago. I'm in a "holding pattern" right now; HR is reviewing it. Family had agreed to Covid protocols, but the doctor's idea of "informed consent" was: we give steroids and a medication called, Remdesivir for Covid+. I could not withhold my observations of patients receiving this med; nor, could I keep the research, studies, and personal stories that I've read. I told the family member of the dangers to kidneys and liver after receiving the med. The family member refused on behalf of the patient; I conveyed the message to the doc. He must've been pissed; he called the Charge RN. I got a call from my supervisor 3 days later...
Have asked two cardiologists about Natto. They had never heard of it (so they claim). My PCP had not heard of it, but was very interested in me sending him information on it. I like my PCP. Unfortunately, he's part of a network and is limited on what he can do/prescribe, but he will give advice "off the record". His eyes are open on what medicine/healthcare has become.
Eagle, may I ask what dose you take? We are taking the same brand as you. I have watched videos that recommend 4000fu/day should be the dose for the BP, cholesterol lowering properties. On 2000fu/day right now. Planning on increasing soon.
