Hello all. I was wanting to know what you all thought about Munchausen by Proxy (MBP)? Have any of you ever came across a case of it and if so how did you proceed? And how can one really tell if it is MBP? There was a case in Missouri where a mother...

I am a member of this board, but rarely post. I have a few questions that I would like to ask. How many of you believe in Physician Assisted Suicide? I believe that a patient should have that right if there prognosis is terminal and there is no hope ...

ohbet, hi there. Long time no talk. he-he Uhm, I don't know, but I think it should be legal in every state. As stated before it is the patient who should decide what is best for them, not the government. Just this evening in my Phlebotomy class we g...

I was posting to a certain thread and I chose to have e-mail notification if anyone replied to me. I can't even remember the thread title. Something about "Is there a God?" Anyhow, I recieved a e-mail notification that someone had posted to me, when ...

Oh, ok thanks for the replies.

donmurray, I agree that there are some quacks out there when it comes to mediums, but I have to say that, imo, John Edward is the real thing. I think some people are afraid of the unknown. I mean how can one, such as John Edward, read a total strang...

Val, although scientists say they have proven this I don't believe them. I firmly believe that when patients say they were out of there bodies, they were having an OBE. I am a spiritual person and have had, what some would say, unexplainable experien...

That is cool, the out of body experience that is, not that you almost died. Have you ever seen or heard of Sylvia Browne or John Edward? I think that is really cool. I would love to get a reading with John Edward, but don't have the time or money ri...

Hi ohbet. There are many more physician's these days that will honor a patients wishes thank God, but way back when some of them didn't even tell there patient(s) that they were going to die. A couple of months ago I was watching a movie on The True ...

Hi Renerian. Patients who experience the "watching everything that is going on when they are coding" is out of body experience. And I firmly believe that it does happen. Scientists, and some doctors do not believe in it. They believe that it is all i...

I have to agree with ohbet. The Catholic church does not believe in active euthanasia. The Catholic church does not believe in a lot of things. That is whay I am no longer a Catholic. Too much dogma! I honestly do not think that God would mind if a p...

Jenny, no that is not what I meant. What I'm trying to say is (if a patient is terminally ill with no hope of recovery) that many people do not have insurance and they have to pay for their doctor visits and prescriptions out of there own pocket. For...

Maizy, I too have had a few experiences with the Other Side. My father passed away when I was four years old. About five years later I was going to bed one night. I remember that I was getting snuggly and I was laying on my right side when out of no ...

I just don't get it. I can not understand how any mother, or primary caregiver, could do this to a child. What the h*** is wrong with these people? This may sound awful to say, but I think that those who are found guilty, beyond a showdow of doubt,...

ohbet, agian I completely agree with you. I think people use religion to base much of their beliefs. And for some that is great, but when it comes to a person's life (one who is terminal) they should be the one who ultimately makes the decision about...

Susy K, thanks I will keep that in mind.

Socrates soul: I would clarify your question for you, but last time I did that (for the CMA) I nearly got my head chewed off from a few people. So I'm sure someone else will clarify it for you. Belle

ohbet, I completely agree with you. It is the individuals choice what is right for them. It should not be up to the doctor's or the government. Belle

Superman: Thank you for a wonderful discussion. Hope to have more with you. Belle

Superman: I would only listen to and agree with a patient who wanted to do that. I, for one, would want to die while I still had my dignity and was still able to do things for myself. Yes I'm glad our mommies were there for us. But the majority of t...

I too am in favor of assisted suicide provided the patient is terminal and there is absolutely no hope of recovery. I know if it were me I would live my life to the fullest until I could no longer go to the bathroom on my own, cloth myself, feed myse...

Austinheart, I once was a CNA and where I was trained they did not allow CNA's to give injections. Maybe they allow it where you live, but not where I live. And I am in no way saying that I am a nurse. (I posted that in a previous post) Some one on t...

I am in no way saying that I am a nurse. Someone asked what a CMA is lisenced to do and I replied with what I have been tought. Yes it is a one year program with the option for an Associates for an extra year. And that is what I am doing. I feel that...

Um excuse me RedwomanRN, but CMA's are allowed to give injections. We are also technically allowed to draw blood, draw up meds, triage, EKG's, vitals, assist the doctor(s), call in prescriptions, cath, waived testing such as dipsticks for UA's, ovula...

I understand all of your posts. I am a MA and will be taking my National Exam in Jan. to become a CMA. I am also a Phlebotomist, and will also be taking my National Exam in Jan. to become certified. I am finishing up my Associates Degree in MA. Docto...
