  2. I am advocating for further research into the complexities of immune response. We haven't fine-tuned this yet obviously. We have blanket protocols that don't take into consideration the individual...
  3. The article regarding the mutated gene that help people survive the Black Plague is very relevant. That was a useful mutation before humans conquered so many diseases that previously were prevalent....

    Unprofessional Behavior

    Override is needed!

    I see people saying that it is a big danger to have an override feature on the med dispensing machines. I wholeheartedly disagree. In an emergency, the override feature is crucial. I have worked...
  10. If things went south in a relationship with your patient's mother, expect some fireworks that could damage your professional life. Yes, people make false complaints that are retaliatory to the Boards...
  11. I believe that evolution has led to women's being wired in such a way that leads to some of these behaviors. Men are wired to be able to cooperate on a hunt, and those who were unable to function in...
  12. The reason why overriding vecuronium is available is, because quick access to the medication can save someone's life. A better practice is to have a rapid sequence intubation kit though. Overriding...

  18. I believe vaccines are overused. I think they should only be used to prevent the most serious of diseases. There is epidemiological trend in a dramatic rise of autoimmune disorders. My personal...

    Opioid Addiction and The Alex Murdaugh Case

    I also thought Judge Newman was very eloquent when he discussed the pressures that Alex was under that day. He had been confronted about embezzling money from clients. He had lost his job at the law...

    Discrimination Allegations

    It sounds ridiculous to me. People have gotten so thin skinned these days. Next time, maybe request someone who is bigger and stronger instead of specifying gender? There are some diminutive men...
