  1. Hernia Repair Patient Dignity

    macawake replied to Catfostermom's topic in General Nursing

    Since you’re replying to me, please note that I didn’t say to write a letter or an email. How you contact the facility is of course entirely up to you. You aren’t answering questions posed...

  2. Hernia Repair Patient Dignity

    macawake replied to Catfostermom's topic in General Nursing

    Noooo. That’s not at all what I meant when I recommended the ? strategy.. Seriously, what do you hope to achieve by using sarcasm? Again, why are you arguing with us instead of contacting the...

  3. Hernia Repair Patient Dignity

    macawake replied to Catfostermom's topic in General Nursing

    ? ? ? Thinking that you can judge a person’s character and professionalism based on a few posts on the internet is rather silly. I have every reason to believe that JKL is a good...

  4. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    macawake replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I can actually understand his emotions and anger. It is very hard to have to deal with the evil and pain that human beings inflict upon one another, day after day. Policing is hard. It’s hard to...

  5. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    macawake replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    You’re correct. This thread is about a murder victim. The police officer has been found guilty in a court of law. So why are you constantly shifting the topic to crimes committed by black...

  6. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    macawake replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    80% of black people aren’t committing crimes. And black people aren’t committing 80% of crimes. That’s not what the police officer said in the video. Didn’t he say that 80% of the victims in...

  7. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    macawake replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I think very few posters have a problem with advance directives. I know I don’t. I support your and everyone else’s right to decide for yourself. I’ll be 100% honest with you. It’s the...

  8. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    macawake replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    No you wouldn’t be and I know you know that. Most physicians aren’t sociopaths. All the ones I know would be extremely bothered by seeing a thirty-year-old possibly die from something that’s...

    macawake replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Wise decision

  10. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    macawake replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Of course you’re ignoring me. Well not me, but my questions. And you keep on doing it. That’s your prerogative. But don’t pretend that you aren’t. I’m discussing crime in general....

  11. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    macawake replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I dislike crime in general. When are you going to go ”work on” all those white mass murderers and perhaps fix the fact that a white perpetrators murder victims are disproportionally female...

  12. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    macawake replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    It’s not an easy job. Yes, it happened very quickly. Judging by that footage, officer(s) barely had time to get out of their car(s) before pandemonium broke loose. All in all, it was less than half...

  13. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    macawake replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    And again you’re focusing on the minority. Why? The vast majority of people protesting were peaceful. Both in the U.S. and around the world....

  14. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    macawake replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Now, now.. I personally know several U.S. police officers who are quite intelligent/intellectual and who are genuinely motivated by a desire to ”protect & serve”. I’m positive that there are...

  15. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    macawake replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    The rioters were the minority. Peaceful protesters the majority. What happened to George Floyd was certainly worth protesting. If the news shows the police cam footage of this new incident, I...

  16. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    macawake replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Not only should Chauvin have done more once his victim stopped breathing and became limp. It should in my opinion never have happened in the first place. You don’t apply pressure/body weight to a...

  17. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    macawake replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    It seems he’s been found guilty on all counts. Good. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/derek-chauvin-verdict-reached-trial-over-george-floyd-s-death-n1264565...

  18. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    macawake replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Was that day the very first time in his entire life that he had used drugs? Because if he’d used drugs previously he obviously survived those occasions. Can you identify anything out of the ordinary...

  19. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    macawake replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Biden, Waters, the media, Democrats, rioters... You’re throwing in everything including the kitchen sink, aren’t you? To me that’s just deflection. The trial is about the death of a man who was...

  20. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    macawake replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    The situation was likely an excruciating ordeal for the person who died that day. I doubt that it was an ordeal for the officers. However, facing the consequences of their actions probably is an...

  21. MNA and Nurses Respond to the Killing of George Floyd by Police

    macawake replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Regarding the use of force, it doesn’t matter whether he was or not. Restraint techniques used by law enforcement personnel while making an arrest/detaining someone aren’t, or shouldn’t be, used...

  22. Does the shot mess with your DNA?

    macawake replied to Floor_Nurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thank you. Doing nothing is not really a viable option though. Continued uncontrolled spread of the virus would result in millions of lives lost worldwide and would tax healthcare...

  23. Does the shot mess with your DNA?

    macawake replied to Floor_Nurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You can pick up traces of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that is likely no longer active virus/infectious. But that still means that the person who the sample belongs to had a Covid-19 infection at some point....

  24. Does the shot mess with your DNA?

    macawake replied to Floor_Nurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It’s been fact-checked by others. And it has been fact-checked by me. This is a nursing site. The man claimed that Covid-19 is no worse than the flu and that vaccines are pointless. It doesn’t...

  25. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    macawake replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for answering my questions. I was trying to understand how far this ”breath of God” line of reasoning went. If I’ve understood your reply correctly you do think modern medicine has its...
