  1. Unvaccinated: Indefensible

    Are patients/insurance companies really charged $1000 for one bag of TPN? How much do they cost for hospital facilities to buy? Living in a country with universal healthcare I am constantly...
  2. Unvaccinated: Indefensible

    Once or twice ? Nuanced ? Is it bad that I completely empathize with the author’s emotions? Presenting anti-vaxxers with scientific facts never seems to work. Perhaps...
  3. At what point can mandates go too far?

    You got owned. I’m not unsympathetic to the fact that that is a bit embarrassing. But the way to personal growth is to learn from it and vow to do better next time, not doubling down on the...
  4. At what point can mandates go too far?

    You should really look at Table 1 as well ? It seems that wearing a surgical mask also ”accelerates the aging process”. You’d think that activating the fight or flight response, giving you...
  5. At what point can mandates go too far?

    Is this the one? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7680614/ Did you happen to notice that it says.. RETRACTED RETRACTED RETRACTED RETRACTED...
  6. TX abortion vigilantes

    I’m still not sure why you found my post ambiguous. I wasn’t being generic. I was attempting to be precise. I said Trump cult members. And I said ”today’s Trumpian version of what was once the...
  7. At what point can mandates go too far?

    To me, your question is a bit like ”how long is a piece of string?” The question you ask is not very well defined. Is there a single person here who doesn’t believe that mandates could go...
  8. At what point can mandates go too far?

    Posts like yours are an embarrassment on a nursing forum. 15% effective at doing what exactly? And the same goes for the 58%. Effective at filtering what? At what distance? Under which conditions?...
  9. TX abortion vigilantes

    I honestly think that you are looking to feel offended here. Are you saying that for example Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger are welcomed with open arms in the GOP of today? It seems to me that if you...
  10. Termination From Employer For Refusing EUV

    There is no polite way to say this. Do you realize how completely nuts the above quote sounds? Who do you imagine the people who have authority over all the world’s governments are?...
  11. We know that the vaccines are effective and how effective they are. The vaccines are used only for their intended purpose. Ivermectin has not been proven to be a safe or effective prevention...
  12. They are being treated for PARASITE INFESTATIONS, which is the approved use for Ivermectin.
  13. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    Well this is the $1,000,000 question, isn’t it? Several of us have asked this very question probably hundreds of times in various threads in this subforum. Not a single poster who has voiced these...
  14. Leaving Your Job Due to Mandate

    I am mostly fascinated by the fact that he doesn’t realize that even though we’re quoting his posts, we’re not trying to have a discussion with him. I only reply to his posts to expose and...
  15. TX abortion vigilantes

    Absolutely. I have nothing but contempt for the people responsible for this law. These people literally stop caring about babies two seconds after they are born. If they cared, they would be...
  16. Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    What you’re saying is 100% accurate. In my opinion that makes this thread titled ”valid reasons to not get vaccinated” an embarrassing eyesore on a nursing site. We know that people...
  17. TX abortion vigilantes

    This law is so crazy that if the matter wasn’t so serious, actually life-and-death serious is many cases, I would just be laughing at the lunacy of it all. I don’t believe that this is...
  18. TX abortion vigilantes

    Listen, I don’t really think it’s cowardice as much as wanting to play by the rules. They see how utterly morally bankrupt today’s Trumpian version of what was once the GOP is, and they don’t...
  19. TX abortion vigilantes

    Yes he is and yes he does. Makes provocative posts on inflammatory topics, hoping to upset someone or stir some crap. It’s so blatant it’s not even worth my time or energy responding to....
  20. Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    Just a friendly heads-up from a fellow forumite.. You might not be aware, but we have a resident forum sheriff who is constantly berating posters for being rude. He’s a rather tenacious sort. I...
  21. That was I was wondering. What would actually happen if the ICU doc simply refuses to follow the judge’s ruling? Is it actually in a judge’s power to order medications that aren’t approved as...
  22. So if a patient presents at the ER with chest pain, elevated troponins and a really wonky EKG… waving around a prescription from Dr. Quack for anthracyclines, demanding the ER administer a high dose...
  23. Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    That’s a flawed analogy. Infecting another person with a virus that can harm them is direct harm. Unless the nurse in your scenario performed an act that directly caused their fellow bus...
  24. Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    Did you seriously just quote one of toomuchbaloney’s posts where that poster clearly explained to j turkey that ”the just in case” language was something that j turkey brought to the discussion...
  25. Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    Didn’t I see you in another one of these Covid threads lamenting the lack of camaraderie and friendly, professional discussions between nurses? How do you think you’re doing according to your...
