  1. Which Covid Vaccine is better?

    macawake replied to Bella RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Unless I’m mistaken one of the terms that we agree to when we join this site is to not offer medical advice. A poster could be Jill the plumber or Joe the bartender for all we know. Even if the...

  2. Help Ban Genital Cosmetic Surgery on Children

    macawake replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Do you genuinely believe that no one will ever change their minds? I think you’re right that it’s an emotional topic. And I also think that internet arguments probably aren’t the most likely...

  3. Help Ban Genital Cosmetic Surgery on Children

    macawake replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I interpreted the verbal flailing as an attempt to deflect. A lot of time and energy spent on detailed descriptions of various bodily secretions while the heart of the matter, whether children should...

  4. Help Ban Genital Cosmetic Surgery on Children

    macawake replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I agree 100%. Never had a sexual partner where hygiene was an issue. The member can be cleaned just like any other part of the body and the men I’ve had relationships with all showered on a regular...

  5. Help Ban Genital Cosmetic Surgery on Children

    macawake replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Cynical-RN, it’s starting to sound like you get a kick out of being crude? Or did QueenTiye’s post provoke you somehow? QueenTiye is correct. Both men and women produce smegma. Neither...

  6. Vaccine Hesitancy

    macawake replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    There are a lot of things I don’t know but that doesn’t mean that I can’t use what I do know to interpret and evaluate claims, data and information. Let’s say that you are the triage...

  7. Vaccine Hesitancy

    macawake replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Do you, a nurse, actually believe that a mind-altering vaccine exists that changes how people think and behave and that can be used to change a person’s religious or political views? Seriously, you...

  8. Help Ban Genital Cosmetic Surgery on Children

    macawake replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    But that’s the thing. I haven’t made counter assertions. The studies that I had previously read on the topic had flaws so I was curious if you had located some better quality studies. I was...

  9. Help Ban Genital Cosmetic Surgery on Children

    macawake replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree. Surgically removing healthy body parts makes no sense to me. But if an informed and consenting adult wanted to do it, that would be one thing. A child on the other hand, who...

  10. Help Ban Genital Cosmetic Surgery on Children

    macawake replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps it’s just the internet where tone can be hard to discern, but I perceive the way you reply to me as hectoring. You’re issuing ordes as if you you were my CO. I haven’t forcefully...

  11. Help Ban Genital Cosmetic Surgery on Children

    macawake replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Could you link to the multitude of studies that indicate this? Are you speaking of the trials carried out in several countries in Africa? They were hardly without flaws. Do you have any well-designed...

  12. Help Ban Genital Cosmetic Surgery on Children

    macawake replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    You do realize that you were the one who brought this up? I doubt anyone else would have gone off on the smegma tangent if you hadn’t. I never said that feeding your children food...

  13. Help Ban Genital Cosmetic Surgery on Children

    macawake replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Any man who walks around ”baked in” smegma has a problem. Either some sort of medical dysfunction or poor personal hygiene. And yes, you can have a less than pristine butt for the very same...

  14. Help Ban Genital Cosmetic Surgery on Children

    macawake replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Are the health risks associated with pregnancy and delivery and having financial responsibility for another human being as well as responsibility for their development, physical and emotional...

  15. Vaccine Hesitancy

    macawake replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking the exact same thing. I agree with the eating healthy and exercise parts and would like to add getting enough sleep. As far as the supplements goes, a healthy diet have most nutrients...

  16. Vaccine Hesitancy

    macawake replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Can you provide a source which supports your claim that most educated people are opting out? Because I’ll post a link that appears to indicate the opposite....

  17. Vaccine Hesitancy

    macawake replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    If you divide your population by 78,000 the result is 2.37 x 10^-4. That’s the same as 0.000237 but it’s not the same as 0.0002%. It’s 0.02%. Still, I agree that it is a tiny part of the total...

  18. COVID Immunized Guilt

    macawake replied to TravelNurseLady's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Your vaccine dose could have been administered to one single person if you had not gotten it. It could not have been administered to every single person who has died or will die from a Covid-19...

  19. The Impeachment of Joe Biden

    macawake replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Honestly, I think that many of them are intelligent and see him for what he is. I think they’re simply using him to further their own political

  20. The Impeachment of Joe Biden

    macawake replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Oh gosh, that’s extremely hard to answer in a short post. And social psychology isn’t my forte, I’m a ???? ??? nurse ? I think there are many reasons. I think that a significant portion of...

  21. The Impeachment of Joe Biden

    macawake replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I agree. Can you be a conservative and be a good person? Absolutely. Can you be a Republican and be a good person? Yes. Can you be a Trump supporter in 2020 and be a good person? I personally don’t...

  22. Question re: masks/lockdowns effectiveness and super spread events

    macawake replied to Peachpit's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I assume that you spend a limited amount of time with each patient and that most of them don’t have a degree in epidemiology and in mathematical modeling? You’re asking for a simple answer to a...

  23. Yes, Employer Can Require Covid Vaccine

    macawake replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Agree. I have to admit, I find it a bit frightening. I wasn’t aware that people are being mandated? It seems most posters have described that it’s voluntary at their places of...

  24. Took Ibuprofen for 2nd Vaccine

    macawake replied to jlv613's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’m pragmatic by nature. You can’t change the past, what’s done is done. Try to take some comfort from the fact that it sounds like you had a rather noticable immune response after getting the...

  25. Took Ibuprofen for 2nd Vaccine

    macawake replied to jlv613's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thanks for replying. I’m glad you clarified that your information concerns not to premedicate. The reason I asked you to clarify is that OP’s post is about taking OTC meds after the vaccine was...
