May 21, 201016 yr You're silly. :) I've never seen that movie but I remember the trailers.Battle voodoo? Why not? I do everything else. This made me laugh, I was thinking about this one little old man that had a swollen scrotum after surgery and I told him we should elevate it. I rolled up the towel for him and told him to put in a comfortable position. His wife told me they'd feel so much better if someone with training did it. Glad that nursing degree was good for something...positioning swollen scrotums. :) what a cute little couple they were.
May 21, 201016 yr Cb RN you are so funny!!! " glad that nursing degree was good for something..." LOL!!!
May 21, 201016 yr *laughs* You watched it on tv today, didn't you? I saw that it was on while I visited my parents. It was the first movie my husband and I saw together when started dating.And I'm thinking I'd've been outta there if that scary crap started happening.
May 21, 201016 yr Battle voodoo? Why not? I do everything else. I think battling voodoo would be easier than a lot of the crap that we put up with. :)
May 21, 201016 yr Some body was watching the Sci Fi channel last evening I see. I actually saw the first two minutes but decided I wasn't up for scary tonight.
May 21, 201016 yr Battling voodoo is outside of my scope of practice...I think it requires an actual Voodoo MD.But seriously, I loved that movie. Then again I am from South Louisiana so it hit close to home.
May 21, 201016 yr I watched the Skeleton Key also last night. It is a good movie, I have seen it a few times now. I would say that if all those things were going on (Brick Dust, chickens, voodo records playing, things written on sheets and than disappearing, and hair being cut off in your sleep) and being asked crazy questions like the lady did in the movie (Ex: You all scared up ain't ya, I know you young folks like to use needles on yourselves). I would have been out of there. I would have felt sorry for the pt but I would've had to go (running very fast).
May 21, 201016 yr Admin It's Hoodoo, not Voodoo;). The latter is a religion and the former just a "hand-me-down" collection of magics and the like. My great-great grandmother was a conjurer (Native American Hoodoo).And, no, I would not get involved in the cultural beliefs like Kate Hudson's character did. I'd respect it, but no way I'd "play the game".
