    It's pretty interesting that you say these things NayRN there is such a thing as a contract that physicians use for narcotic use/prescriptions. There are very stringent guidelines that people have to...

  8. Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    cdsga replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think the debate about whether people should have insurance is skewed-the basic human right for everyone to have access to health care is different from a constitutional right. Human rights are...

    A lot of times ESRD is purely genetics. But economics and nutritional status and other diseases such as hypertension and diabetes take their toll. It's cheaper to eat processed, high NA, high GLU...

    RNFaster-great entry. It's a sobering thought-and I too wonder where the money goes. I know when you put someone in a nursing home-someone has to be made power of attorney and all that person's...

  11. Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    cdsga replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    When you are talking end of life care you take into effect the percent of cost overall. I would suppose that the least amount of money would be spent on younger people, who are healthier. Of course...

    As I know some do-they buy the cheapest car insurance in order to get their car tag, then let it lapse after they get the tag/registration for the year. The same thing will happen with other...

    We patch em up and send em packin'. We are trying to make everyone have the same mindset-you find that out when you enter squalor hoarded homes-to try and treat sick people. You report what you see...

    Unsung heroes in nursing in my book-We see things others don't and never will subject themselves to. When you work in other's environment that's where rubber meets the road

    I have worked home health and since it is mostly medicare and medicaid-the documentation is unbelievable. The diagnosis and treatments must match. Supplies are inventoried, and you basically do the...

    Seriously-I'm in the same boat but I don't want a bail out and I don't want my children to suffer either. The next generation already feels we've caused this mess and they definitely are not...

  20. Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    cdsga replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You can't afford insurance, but have you looked at your budget? It seems that if insuring yourself is as important as feeding, clothing and sheltering yourself you would need to look at some...

    While SOME animals show empathy and care-they also leave the less than perfect un-nurtured and abandon some of their offspring who they instinctively know won't survive the cruel world. It is...

  25. Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    cdsga replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So the reality is-you can get healthcare-but be willing to wait. This country is in for a shock when the large number who haven't had access have access. At the current staffing numbers we will not...
