  1. The Failure of Modern Healthcare due to Administration

    macawake replied to FlameHeart's topic in General Nursing

    A dying person shouldn’t be put in a situation where they are forced to try to tune out talk about God that they haven’t asked to hear. People shouldn’t have to bring/pack ear plugs as they...

  2. Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

    macawake replied to AnonymousSuper's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Everybody, just ignore Gekko. TMB is correct. This is Gekko’s modus operandi. He likely gets some kind of emotional payoff from posting ridiculous stuff. He’s practising the Art of Asshattery ?...

  3. If you didn't have to bite your tongue?

    macawake replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I’m actually an optimist ? I think you can reach most people using logic and using factual, ”de-escalating” language. But I think that the American way of referring to and treating patients as...

  4. The Failure of Modern Healthcare due to Administration

    macawake replied to FlameHeart's topic in General Nursing

    I’m so very sorry that happened to your mother and to you who have had to live with the knowledge. I’m always a bit saddened by the fact those individuals who think that it’s their right or...

  5. The Failure of Modern Healthcare due to Administration

    macawake replied to FlameHeart's topic in General Nursing

    If you change that to ”Christ can be spoken about anywhere, to anyone who wants it”, then we are in

  6. The Failure of Modern Healthcare due to Administration

    macawake replied to FlameHeart's topic in General Nursing

    From your response I’m guessing that you believe in God? I’m not asking this in a snarky way, but how on earth would you know that talking to a dying person about God hasn’t hurt a single...

  7. The Failure of Modern Healthcare due to Administration

    macawake replied to FlameHeart's topic in General Nursing

    You are probably going to be shocked by this, but what you just confessed to doing is in my eyes as bad as if you’d told us that you are in the habit of physically assaulting or raping your patients...

  8. If you didn't have to bite your tongue?

    macawake replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that ought to shut them up ? Living and working in a country with universal healthcare is the remedy. Both healthcare staff and patients pay taxes, so very few patients act like entitled...

  9. How to deal with management who "disciplines" you for no good reason?

    macawake replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    They’re not talking about your morale, but the teams’. Correct, it’s not related to nursing. It’s related to work. You don’t exist in a vacuum, you are a part of your workplace....

  10. If you didn't have to bite your tongue?

    macawake replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly very seldom feel that I have to bite my tongue. I have no problems with the vast majority of my patients. What I think helps me feel quite zen about my patients is that I realized a long...

  11. COVID Myth-Busters

    macawake replied to Kilbourn Word Slinger's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I do appreciate the work you’ve done here. I too am a big proponent of vaccines in general and think that it’s vital that as many eligible individuals as possible get vaccinated against Covid-19....

  12. Covid Abuse!

    macawake replied to guest1163268's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We don’t really know enough to speculate about this. I don’t think it’s even been established that the alleged assailant has a wife. Only that he said that he has a wife. It is possible...

  13. Covid Abuse!

    macawake replied to guest1163268's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No, that’s not you holding yourself to a high degree of accountability. That’s you suggesting that it’s acceptable to punch a healthcare professional in the face, and that they ”deserve” to...

  14. Covid Abuse!

    macawake replied to guest1163268's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree that if things happened as described in this article, this man ought to be charged and convicted. I don’t think the police knows his identity or address. I think the police only...

  15. Pregnancy after COVID vaccine?

    macawake replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There is no evidence available that suggests that any of the Covid vaccines used in the US can cause infertility and no plausible mechanism of action how they theoretically could. It is vaccine...

  16. Pushed by quacks, use of Ivermectin is poisoning people

    macawake replied to nursej22's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don’t think it will be that hard to explain. It’s being ”presented” as not being effective simply because there are currently no good quality, randomized, double-blind trials that show that...

  17. Pushed by quacks, use of Ivermectin is poisoning people

    macawake replied to nursej22's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The U.S. has lower vaccination rates than Canada, several Middle Eastern countries, Japan, Australia will likely get there shortly and lower rates than most countries in Europe. However many Eastern...

  18. Pushed by quacks, use of Ivermectin is poisoning people

    macawake replied to nursej22's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If it doesn’t happen in your ER that sees a whole 2.06 x 10^-5 of the country’s population every month, then it can’t be happening at all, can it? Do you normally just look in your own...

  19. Vaxxed necklaces and other merch?

    macawake replied to jive turkey's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Grumpy, this thread will be here whether you reply or not, so don’t feel too bad. The content of this thread has absolutely nothing to do with the pandemic from a healthcare or nursing...

  20. My boyfriend is still unvaccinated

    macawake replied to vio's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That is absolutely not correct. You wear your seatbelt to protect yourself AND anyone else who’s in the car with you. If you’re in an accident and not wearing a seatbelt, you can...

  21. Mandating vaccine for children

    macawake replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There’s really no need for you j turkey to run off to your bank and rummage through your safe deposit box, looking for that notarized contract you signed in the presence of two witnesses. It’s not...

  22. Physician Spreads Dis-Information: License Revoked

    macawake replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Pine needle tea is one of the many quack ”cures” for Covid that’s making the rounds on the internet. Sounds like a great decision to change provider....

  23. Vaccination Mandating

    macawake replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don’t know if listless has actually read Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben’s State of Exception, but I have. It’s not about Socialism, but rather totalitarianism and how constitutional...

  24. Having Trouble Following The Narrative

    macawake replied to Guest219794's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I suspect that you won’t get your questions answered by those who hold these positions. The viewpoints are hard to defend with logic and it becomes very noticeable when they attempt to verbalize a...

  25. Explaining the Unexplainable

    macawake replied to Olivelove20's topic in Disaster Preparation

    OP linked to a heartfelt article written by an ER nurse who has witnessed the devastating effects of the pandemic firsthand. My heart goes out to that nurse and all other healthcare professionals...
