  1. Where do you go when you don't trust official data sources?

    Charlcie replied to 10GaugeNeedles's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Personally I don't have any issue with the information released by the CDC or WHO. However, I am aware that there is currently distrust. I recommend people who do not trust the WHO or CDC to reputable...

  2. Potential Hurricane Ida landfall in Louisiana?

    Charlcie replied to Soldier of Empathy's topic in Disaster Preparation

    when I was on contract in New Orleans (during hurricane season ? LOL) Most of us had a "go bag". It had all the things in it needed for emergencies, normal stuff like scrubs and underwear, plus extra...

    Charlcie replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    this is so scary! I feel like we are at a serious risk of running out of supplies and equipment if things are this bad and we are just now seeing cases here where I am up

  5. So, It's Come To This...

    Charlcie replied to Jedrnurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    honestly I think this is a good idea. I just wonder how long they will be able to staff a place like this. I work for a large healthcare organization and they have openly shared numbers and data...

    Charlcie replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    LOL right?! years ago someone told me to ask my vet about it as heartworm prevention for my dog and he flat out told me it was too dangerous. If my dog can't take it I'll probably steer clear too! The...

  8. Doctor refuses to treat the unvaccinated

    Charlcie replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Oh I didn't mean anyone should be excluded from care, I just meant that this has been hard on everyone and I try to see both sides of things. I want to stress that no patient who arrives and needs...

  9. Doctor refuses to treat the unvaccinated

    Charlcie replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Its also important to note that this isn't just a preventable disease, it's a contagious one. If a patient kills themselves with poor lifestyle choices dies from complications of DM, obesity, drugs...

  10. Doctor refuses to treat the unvaccinated

    Charlcie replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    in this particular case I don't think it is out of spite. The only instances I know of are when Nephrologists and Dialysis clinics turn down patients after years of non-compliance, because they take...

  11. Doctor refuses to treat the unvaccinated

    Charlcie replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    JiveTurkey- I imagine we will see a lot more of this... it's sad to take care of these people in the ICU when I don't even know them, I can't imagine taking care of patients over their life span then...
