I hate the health care system here.
When my daughter was 18 months old, we visited my MIL in a remote area of Quebec. My girl got yet another ear infection (she had so many that she had to have surgery).
It was Christmas so I had to take her to the hospital. A 40 minute drive.
Long story short, we got there at 10 AM. We waited ... and waited. Finally around 6 PM, I realized that no one had been called to see the doctor in two or three hours.
I went up to the receptionist and said, in my crappy French, “What’s going on?”
She said that the doctors were eating dinner. I said, “Are you telling me that in this hospital there’s not ONE doctor who could see people now?” My crying daughter probably got her attention.
I turned to the crowd in the waiting room and said, “Are you going to put up with this crap?”
My daughter was seen within 15 minutes and others were called too.
That was my first experience with socialized medicine. Suffice it to say that I am not a fan.
Sounds like SOP for COVID. "Yes, you are positive, but there's nothing we can do for you. Go home and wait. If you have trouble breathing, go to the morgue."
Jon Martin, the boy's father, said "He's still doing all the wonderful things that the toddler is supposed to do. You can't really ask for much more."
I'd ask for a health care system that didn't throw up so many horrific roadblocks to getting the treatment your son needs.
I’m guessing you are in the USA and not Canada. The family was all set to drive to Montana from Lethbridge, AB to get the medicine.
Moral of the story: Take you kids to the States to visit the vet.
Oh, well, heaven forfend there be “legal repercussions”.
Better for a person to die.
/we live in crazy world
This is madness.
Yes I’m in the US.
/maybe I should pop off to Tractor Supply and get a bottle of it, just in case.
You could probably hold off until you see an army of raccoons defecating your your garden.
They aren’t called “trash pandas” for nothing.
I can hold off even longer if I can somehow resist eating their crap.
:D
The medical community is beyond negligent in telling the parents to wait and see if their son becomes sick.
They have done the same thing with COVID.
Don’t come in until you are close to dying and irreparably damaged.
And then they wonder why nobody trusts them.
I was privy to see Nazi films of the Jews they infected with the human roundworms and dissected the Jewish victims alive to recover the roundworms...pretty gruesome. The films were property of the US military. I also helped screen the Vietnamese refugees for parasites the Summer of 1975 and found most of them infected with Ancylostoma and Ascarisis as well as many Cestodes.
Hookworms can invade subcutaneously and cause a dermatitis but the roundworms have to be ingested. Intestinal hookworms have to be ingested also.
Well, it certainly is an interesting and well-rounded life that you describe.
"If the parasite is in the migratory mode it may take several treatments to catch it in an area of the victim where the chemical can kill it. "
"Sorry honey, not tonight. The worms are on the prowl."
At least he didn't snort 'em (with a side of parmo), like Hunter Biden - that'll give you brain worms, every time...
Easy, just find Athelas,or Kingsfoil in the common tongue. It is practically laying about everywhere.
( Sung to the tune of “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes”
“They asked me how I knew
Racoon feces was blue
I just simply said
BS you’ve been fed
Racoon feces is red.”
Canada (and the US) have lurched toward Leftist totalitarianism in the past twenty years.
The trend is accelerating.
Some time ago, I searched for data.
Researchers collected dead raccoons up and down the 101 in the Central CA area.
95% of them were infected.
They also make ‘latrine’ sites. Sometimes in the attics of houses.
Not so cute anymore.
