As my mom lay dying of cancer, she was green. Really green. I would be afraid people would think you were sick or be remonded of one that went through such horrific chemo.

Do you think over-eating is an addiction?

You're judgmental to what you choose to believe is not an addiction and yet, what's in your closet?. You do not know that I am not a nurse.....or a Doctor. Did you dissect a cadaver in your education....hypothetical there brainiac

his job and career and this mess happens to regular patients all the time.

I don't understand flushing it fast. A needle in my vein makes me nauseous, that would be horrible. You unprofessionals make it look like judgement. God help the lot.

God bless you. You may have a new perspective of what patients go through

Or, a really large Urethra!!!

Many women do not know their bodies even in Nursing. Like how many days can you get pregnant each month and when is Ovulation? Thankfully my mother taught her house full if 6 girls all of these things, never trusting a school to do her job for her :) Motherhood is nursing without the Document

You call it Disgusting" but do you feel that way about alcoholisim or obesity? All addictions. The desire for something over your health and common sense that is detrimental to your health and often the time and safety of others.

If that was for me "no" the best I could claim in that field would be Brownie, Girll SCOUT, Cadet that volunteered to a home for terminally ill children, then lifeguard. Still proudest of raising loving, responsible kids.All mentioned including Nursing are Service and we should all desire to serve. What a wonderful world this would be, filled with Givers instead of Takers.5

I really have relatives and friends that are Doctors, Nurses, Researchers/Chemists and Pharmacists. I'm also related to some amazing Ancestry as are most if they do the research. Military Heroes and Teachers. Sometimes it's just in the "it's a small world" vernacular. I'm also a mom, would that have the same effect?

I mean no malice or disrespect but for those that believe addiction is a disease ( I do not and have been accused) addiction is addiction. Regardless of the substance. The only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume, if there were a magic pill or formula it would have been disclosed long ago. My family is vegetarian with a strong focus on proteins. My baby at 14 jumps rope for a collective at least 3 hours a day. She is definitely into fitness and nutrition. You have to cut out animal fats, artificial foods ie. hydrogenated oil and faux sweeteners. We use honey and Agave Nectar for sweeteneers, very liyttle white sugar and read and know labels.Commercial burgers are filled with celluloes, saw dust which cause severe constipation and the beginning of most health issues.I adore veggie burgers, the black bean has Cumin which taste like Taco meay. Full of protein! Don't think "diet" think of delicious real foods for life, that keeps everything you have running right.Hipocrates, the Father of Medicine taught this "Macrobiotic Foods" in 532 BC but sadly, no one does it until they get a terminal diagnosis. I wish you the best :)

I'm certain I've been considered one but there are many things you may not know or have considered from my viewpoint. Laying in a bed crying with a t.v. and clock in front of me, pain meds relief are often all you can think of. I learned a few years ago, that a local dr. labeled me for reporting him for charging me for a 4 k test I never had, many old folks too that had to choose between medicine, heat and food. I've had so many nightmares since.Gallstone with a migraine, they left in observation and I was so nauseous I had to put my finger down my throat which labeled me. I am smart enough to know what observation means. They missed my vein, would not send anyone to fix it so I pulled it out and signed myself out. Lay on the hot sidewalk waiting on my family as I had been already told I needed surgery so he was taking the kids home to make arrangements. Had to be rushed back the next day and the ER dr. stood outside my door to talk to my dr.afraid since he neglected me. Anytime I have gone in for a migraine I refuse narcotics, there is a combination steroid and non narcotic that knocks it out but they don't want to hear that. I laid in a bed while a nurse pinched my line, smirking asking if I was afraid to die. When my family came in in the a.m. I lost it and told them. I wasn't the only one. She was given the option of another carreer or the infirmary at state prison. I feel sorry for them though. Just home from hip replacement after a year of being bed-ridden. Leg 2 inches shorter so all stretched and they were sure to send me the meanest nurses the last 24 hours. I ask for pain med in pill form because it lasts longer and try to be a good patient, I know they're busy and I'm not the only one but there are some that do not belong in that field. I have met more wonderful than horrible though. But because someone is really in pain and wants their meds ( including aspirin and tylenol) we are not addicts.
