I am sorry, but I simply do not see the humor in Rigor Mortis. It is downright creepy. I cannot laugh at it.
I have seen countless times, people who are pretty much dead, but we do ‘Codes’ on them. We do chest compressions and insert chest tubes into people who are for all practical purposes, corpses. I have stood at the head of beds where people have their sternums cracked and their ribs snipped with shears. Does anyone know what lungs or hearts look like shortly after having absolutely no blood flow? I do. Try brown and grey, lifeless Earthy colors.
Oh, but let's keep ventilating them who have an End Tidal CO2 of something in the single digits. That means that they are dead, but let's keep on with the charade of ‘Advanced Cardiac Life Support’ or ACLS as it is commonly called.
Of course, my hospital is a ‘teaching hospital’ and so the teaching is done before the situation is ‘called.’ ‘OK, we have done what we could. Are there any ideas about measures that could be taken in order to rescue this Patient?’
No wonder people in Health Care are cynical.
I made a personal vow between myself and God, years ago, that I would never permit myself to become jaded.
This COVID stuff was the last straw for me. I would never submit to this vaccine lie, nor would I continue to watch rookie Doctors tweaking ventilators constantly. They demonstrated to me that they were clueless and I tired of their incessant guessing. Hey Doc, if they are Hypertensive, ease off on the ventilator pressures.
Finally I just started taking care of that stuff on my own. I always told the ICU Nurses what I was doing. In short order Patients improved, and my Nurse friends loved me.The Docs who rarely went into the Patient rooms would write the new orders, after I fixed their shit.
Of course, it was illegal for me to do certain things, but I doubt that those who lived would bitch about it.
Few will ever know some of the things that I did, the lives I saved. So I come out here, and before God explain to people that I will not be a Cynic and that I see no funny parts of horrible deaths and the fruit of incompetence. I had to leave. Fortunately I am of retirement age. I hoped to work at least 5 more years. Fauci and his subordinate monsters made that impossible for me. Perhaps I will renew my CDL and do a couple of cross country road trips before slipping off this mortal coil. .
Thank for your service and for the lives you preserved for the love of their family and friends.
With absolute conviction I’m certain you ARE missed. Especially by those, who still give a damn.
I’ve read many of your very interesting posts, though commented on few, because I’ve had little to offer. I’ve come away with a few things learned Radix...
You’re highly analytical, intelligent, articulate and principled. You’re also strong willed.
All good for you and stand fast on those things, especially your faith.
I’ve also been told that you’re short, fat and balding and have a bit of an odor about you.
...this last part may or may not be truthful =o)
Poking fun to lighten it up a bit.
Blessings to you in your convictions Radix.
My world view would be heavily tarnished to see what you’ve described...especially a previous comment about the arm poking straight up in RM...WHAT a ghastly and undignified sight.
FWIW,I also, in the face of certain promotion and for to five years and another 30k in raises, retired early due to the “lawful order” to mandate participation in the phase three human guinea pig experiment.
We’re better having made these decisions of clear conscience my friend
I kept one of my licenses from 3 states so I could still retain some credibility while fighting to keep people alive and children unmasked. I have been retired for some time now so I have no fear of recriminations when I speak.
