Honestly, yes I do.
What I’d like, and it will never happen, is all data given to multiple peer-review orgs and the results presented openly and honestly.
No, this isn’t a UTI - it’s a bad flu to a mild cold. We have an authoritarian goobermint forcing people to get a poorly tested shot which may just be worse than the disease it is designed to halt. Companys/Politicians are getting rich, and young, health people are dying, perhaps cause by that same shot.
Nurse should not be diagnosing, but we often do. Docs should be diagnosing and researching, but they often don’t because of political and economic pressure.
1st Doctor, do no harm.
There is valid and debatable points in what you say. Truth be told I can’t argue with what you have said. My take on it is this neurotic testing is beyond belief. There is absolutely no need to test the asymptomatic except to drive an agenda. You and i both know you never order a test that won’t change your treatment plan.
Additionally I actually am of the belief that the nurses I work with (I am privileged to work with the best of the best critical care nurses and recovery nurses) that you should have a scope of practice that doesn’t make you ask me for every laxative dose or Tylenol dose. It’s ridiculous. I am a firm proponent of nurse driving protocols that once initiated by a physician order allows you discretion.
I also realize you are the ones at Bedside for 12 hours with patients while I cannot be as I am rounding. Nursing has my deepest respects but just as there are some docs who screw this up by not knowing what they are doing that is how this nurse strikes me. He is leveling accusations of misdiagnosis or worse yet falsification of medical charts on extremely complex cases that cannot be reduced to a simple internet screed
Be well. I hope we have some areas of common ground
