  1. Uninsured=financial ruin

    Fuzzy replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh but people are very well rewarded for not working in this country---they get healthcare that my working earned tax dollars pay for. In order to get healthcare, I would have to stop working, become...

  2. Uninsured=financial ruin

    Fuzzy replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I hope that you aren't putting all of us uninsured, self pay people in this category. I, for one pay my bills as long as I am working and able. Since I'm considered self pay, I could easily become...

  3. Oh God, A NURSE is my pt!!!!

    Fuzzy replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    I've had nurses and doctors as clients. In my field the people are clients and the animals are patients. Most have been very good experiences. I ask them about their profession and we find the...

  4. Uninsured=financial ruin

    Fuzzy replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Most states do but that's not the point. The testing is actually the cheapest part. Heck I can pay for most of the testing if payments can be made. What I cannot pay for is if something BAD is...

  5. The squeeze is on!

    Fuzzy replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I tried doing this when I had to have surgery but the hospital turned me down flat. So it doesn't work for everyone. The best that I could have gotten was a measly 2.5% discount if I could pay the...

    Fuzzy replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    God's intervention for both the dog and the person driving the car. Actually dogs fall out of pick ups all the time no road rash or no injury at at all. Kind of depends on the speed, the fall, the...

    Fuzzy replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

  9. I woke up during surgery, Have you?

    Fuzzy replied to GatorRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, veterinary technicians do the same thing with people's animals. Which is why I'm always floored whenever I hear of a veterinary hospital using non credentialed people to induce, monitor and...

  12. A step towards "universal health care" run by the government?

    Fuzzy replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: True, I know that I would have a different outlook on the whole thing if I could get insurance or affordable healthcare. I love my job but it's in an industry that doesn't make much money...

  13. A step towards "universal health care" run by the government?

    Fuzzy replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    I still wonder how many people would have medical coverage if their workplace didn't provide them with some kind of policy. I wonder what would happen if our congress people, president, teachers,...

    Fuzzy replied to SharonH, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My story involves an RN. Please understand that nurses have a bad reputation in vet. med. as many come off as being rude (I read alot of PIA nurse woes on the vet. med. boards eventho I had never...

    Fuzzy replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: So true, I just hope that I don't cancer. If I do, I'm dead.

  17. A step towards "universal health care" run by the government?

    Fuzzy replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I think that if we took the government, lawyers, insurance companies, and the big drug ads out of healthcare, it would be more affordable and available to everyone. Not to mention there...

    Fuzzy replied to mediatix8's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Mediatix8, Hope that you are feeling better. My surgeon gave me an absolute weight limit of lifting no more than 10 lbs for 2 weeks when I had my gall bladder removed. This helped me alot as in...

  19. I woke up during surgery, Have you?

    Fuzzy replied to GatorRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've had a couple of surgeries where I was under a general anesthetic. If I woke up, I don't remember it. Everything went well. I know that I'm very careful with the animals that I sedate and/or...

  21. Adventures in a small town ER

    Fuzzy replied to BJLynn's topic in General Nursing

    BJLynn, I hope things are going better. I remember the nausea and pain that I went through for 10 years when I would have one of these attacks. They would get so bad that I wanted to cut it out with...

    Fuzzy replied to JBudd's topic in Emergency

    Yep I've gotten this one several times. It's even been passed on to me by the receptionist because she had nooooo idea how to answer it. I put my straight face on as I answer, "No, but your semen is...

  23. Do you have a diagnosis of mental illness?

    Fuzzy replied to LadyBugLass's topic in General Nursing
