I went to a restaurant on Staten Island today.
Hostess asked me to write name and phone number.
I said that’s not happening.
She said “ok” and sat us down.
Paid in cash.
It was mom’s 88th birthday so I wore the mask in and took it off at the table.
It killed me but 88 is up there and I took her to her favorite place.
Silly to ruin her birthday over it. I think.
The problem in Britain is very similar to a problem we have here in the USA. The problem is how we are forced to regard doctors as GODS WHO KNOW ALL AND WILL NOT BROOK DISAGREEMENT
I am unsure how our country came to the above conclusion. Certainly there was a time when veterinarians, doctors who treated humans and the non-doctor/vets who ministered to the same patients (but who did much work with people/animals who were ill) were considered to have the same degree of expertise as each other.
Then somehow or another the expertise of a human doctor became very much more important than that of a veterinarian and their schooling was considered much more important and they were paid much more. Yet, all things considered, it is clear veterinarians must know much more about all types of animals and their illnesses and be able to treat them equally well as “doctors” who treat one genus species.
Frankly I would rather be treated by a vet than almost any “doctor” I know, The reason is because veterinarians actually listen and hear me whereas doctors assume the whole information package from the first word from the human patient’s mouth.
The patient’s first word may not even relate to a disease but rather be a satirical attempt at humor to deflect from the seriousness of the patient’s concern about the problem. After the doctor’s initial “understanding” there is no further need for information...he or she must get to the next patient because of administrative policies to increase numbers & money. The solution to the patient’s concern is nominally available from a list of diseases most popular in that person’s age group. Lord help you if it isn’t...there is no solution to it so you stay in the most popular disease group.
I think doctors are generally overrated and those docs who work where they are not tested for current knowledge every two years or so should be barred from practice. They are clearly not knowledgeable enough to treat us.
‘Demanding an inquiry, top medical experts and MPs also insisted they were ‘certain’ that too many fatalities were being blamed on the virus.’
but how could this be...? why, we’re told on this very website that it would take a collusion between 1 millon doctors and 500k nurses falsifying information, and risking jail time or medical fraud, and so forth...
too many fatalities...? harrumph...
The people who study statistics for the purpose of a greater understanding of disease and how things work and why are going to be spending a LOT of time in the near future destroying this patently fake emergency. They have a long established history of how they work and what they look at and the Big Fake can’t stand up to that inevitable monster searchlight...
