Steph D's avatar

Up until May of 2020, because I homeschool my child, I was working weekends only as a nurse in a skilled nursing facility.

Everything I knew to be scientifically, ethically and morally true in healthcare was totally upended by the administration running it.

Negligent treatment of patients, improper use of PPE, dissolving of patients rights, blatant psychological harm inflicted on the staff and patients became the ‘new normal’. No one seemed to care that the elderly were dying alone.

For the survivors, there was zero quality of life for these people. No activities, no hairdresser, no family visits, NOTHING. They were treated as prison inmates, confined to their tiny rooms. These poor people were treated as collateral damage due to the restrictive conditions during the height of the pandemic. It was devastating.

I would come home crying after every shift because of the amassed stress and toxicity...and my husband asked me to quit. God bless him.

I don’t think I will ever go back to the nursing profession. Not only because of the death jab mandates, (although that’s reason enough), but because I now know the staggering amount of evil the medical industry in its entirety is capable of.

Same here, Steph D. My exemption was granted but I had to quit. The hospital protocols were killing ppl. My license was placed under review twice, bc I warned my patients about Remdesivir. It’s part of my job, as an RN, to educate my patients and to look out for them. I loved being a nurse. I worked hard. I’m single and in dire financial circumstances now. My conscience, however, is clear. May God help us.

August, I'm so sorry. So far I've been able to avoid both vax and license review but came awfully close once. I am also single but of retirement age, so if I got fired it wouldn't be the end of the world for me...so I continue to push the envelope with advocating for my patients, which is the best part of the job. I thank God for protecting me thus far, and I will pray for better circumstances for you! A clear conscience doesn't put food on the table for sure, but it nourishes the soul.

Space and August, do you remember learning in nursing school how the nurse was SUPPOSED to be the patient's advocate and that we were often the last line of defense? Just insane how that was inverted during Covid.

space's avatar

NAB, for real!! I look to examples like the nurse arrested for refusing to let a law enforcement officer bully her into drawing a tox screen (on a patient who was unable to provide informed consent). She was the patient's last line of defense (not condoning the patient drinking or doing drugs, but...) THAT is patient advocacy!

We were taught much the same in medical school, actually - our patient, our (I would say 'sacred,' but while they implied it was at that level, never said it) duty, our assessment (and rely on no one else's).

I certainly appreciated the nurse during the birth of my first child 45 years ago - Dr had no clue what to do when they realized the cord was wrapped around her little neck and I wasn’t ready to deliver.

Keep your feelers out there, August--there are doctors and nurses starting TRUE HEALTHcare clinics "off the grid" on a "pay per person/treatment" basis - strictly cash--no insurance accepted. They are the WARRIOR people and you are one of them!

Sharon Beautiful Evening you are correct! I now have a new clinic. It is a 25 minute drive from my house but it is Christian, non-compliant with C-19 jab crap, and it is a membership fee of 100$ a month, and you get 12 visits a year free. They have an urgent care that is 40$ a visit, and they can do labs, referrals to pharmacies and specialists etc. It is called Heart of Hope Health Care Clinic in Hayden Idaho, and I am so glad I am out of the toxic "regular" sickcare system!!

Wonderful, Swede! I found one through a local, grassroots freedom group called FreePA. The clinic is called Heritage Family Health--it was started by a husband and wife physician team who were on the system and when the scamdemic hit--they both prayed about it and determined that Yahweh wanted them to LEAVE the system and start caring for their patients as their consciences deemed proper and fitting. It is "pay as you go" - no membership. They do accept paper checks as well as credit and debit cards (and cash, of course). However, they have NO hospital privileges at any of our local hospitals--because they are "off the grid". I couldn't have them visit me if I were hospitalized--I'm praying about that issue REAL HARD!

If you are hospitalized your doctor doesn’t visit you there. You get a “hospitalist” who knows nothing about you but makes all of your medical decisions while you are in the hospital. Then when you get out of the hospital you go back to your own doctor- if you’re lucky enough to have one.

At one point in time--many moons ago, you could have your "family doctor/GP" visit you as well if you were HORSEpitalized. I guess those days are gonesville - along with most other circumspect, wholesome medical practices.

There is a sort of separate non-system right now, called Direct Primary Care. It doesn't cover everything, but it's a start. Hospitals modeled on the Surgery Center of Oklahoma are around, too, so for scheduled, standard surgeries there are high-quality, low-cost alternatives. We do need to rein in or replace or create parallels for licensing boards and for certification boards, though.

"Direct Primary Care (DPC) is an innovative alternative payment model improving access to high functioning healthcare with a simple, flat, affordable membership fee. No fee-for-service payments. No third party billing. The defining element of DPC is an enduring and trusting relationship between a patient and his or her primary care provider. Patients have extraordinary access to a physician of their choice, often for as little as $70 per month, and physicians are accountable first and foremost their patients. DPC is embraced by health policymakers on the left and right and creates happy patients and happy doctors all over the country!"

Some are probably in it only because it decreases papework and hence the need for specialized staff to do coding and file insurance claims.

I believe the first step would be to drop all msm insurance through work. Get totally off their health insurance. Instead put money to monthly fees direct with these alternative providers.

space's avatar

Direct primary care is the way to go, agreed. However, this model disproportionately favors those with more disposable income (though for me it's about equal to the premiums I pay for traditional health insurance through my work.) I would pay less for lab work and xrays, etc. through discounts that DPC negotiates, but I don't know what I'd do if I had to be hospitalized.

"They were treated as prison inmates, confined to their tiny rooms."

My wife is counting the minutes until the end of her travel contract for a Geriatric Psych facility. It is exactly this except even worse: the patients are forced out of their beds in the morning and herded into a group room with blaring televisions where there's no place to get away. They can't go outside, they can't leave AMA, and they cannot have visitors - not even clergy.

The patients there are constantly in an uproar - fighting each other and the staff. Just last night she was forced to work nearly two hours late (in an already 12-hour shift) to chart and document all the physical fights from yesterday.

She's a caring nurse who grieves for her patients, one of whom she ALONE is able to calm down from fighting mode. Yesterday he wasn't even her patient, but the other nurses called her in to watch him because they're all afraid of him.

The other nurses know she's a short-timer and so they were kidding her "What are we gonna do without you to calm "Bob"? Guess you'll have to take him with you." (Hahaha.)

Being married to a nurse post-Covid has given me a newfound sense of disrespect for the medical profession.

If you tried to think up a way to make people go crazy and want to fight each other, this sounds like it. It sounds like torture. I wonder if they've ever thought to try soothing classical music (at a reasonable volume) or those recordings of nature sounds. My experience of psychiatrists in medical school was that they're one-trick ponies: drugs. Like almost all doctors anymore, I guess.

As a med student, I was on a visit to a VA hospital, and there was a day room where (apologies for the language) gorked-out patients with horrible contractures from being left alone all the time without movement were stuck in chairs, some reclining, since they'd otherwise fall off a normal chair, with a TV blaring at them incessantly. As soon as I got home, I got a JAG officer to help me write up my instructions for what I did not want done, to save my life if I were in similar circumstances, and it was pretty much 'everything.' Don't keep me alive biologically to be stuck like that with a TV blaring at me.

Thanks, SPH, I'll read it.

My wife had a patient a few weeks ago who was a 70-ish widow, whose adult children had kidnapped her out of her front yard and brought here there to be treated for depression.

The woman was completely out of sorts, and couldn't understand what was happening to her. Since she was gardening at the moment of her kidnapping, she didn't have a change of clothes - and wasn't even wearing a bra.

After her shift, my wife went to a store and bought her clothes and clean undies, and took it back to the hospital for the night shift to give it to the lady. When she called back to check on her the next morning, the uncaring shift workers couldn't be bothered to even check to see if the patient had received the items.

I've gone from thinking of nurses as heroes, to ZEROES

Most of the caring nurses left their jobs because it’s turned into something we don’t recognize. The nurses left are either stone cold or have managed to survive the jab mandates and the stressful conditions out of necessity for an income.

Reminds me of two situations in my history. One- years ago a neighbor of ours was employed at the Psych ward at the VA hospital. He was killed by a kick in the head by a fighting patient. Second: my late husband, advanced dementia was entitled to VA care. I was told that they couldn’t put him in the Dementia Care/ Psych ward because the younger patients would kill him.

Allopathy. Petrochemical medicine. Established by Standard Oil's Rockefeller family. Hired Edward Bernays Madison Avenue Marketing and Advertising campaign to delegitimize and demonize homeopathy and other natural healing. It was founded by Big Pharma, a very lucrative division of the petrochemical industry. Allopathy, aka "Evidence-based medicine" is inseparable from harmful chemical concoctions.

Don't leave your calling to heal others. Just change your paradigm of healing from sick care to health care. Explore and learn the natural healing arts. And support efforts in your state to allow the natural healing arts to be practiced without the same corrupt oversight and controls that "EBM" is under. You will find your calling in harmony with the natural world of healers.

Many were our clients and when I called them for client contact reasons they cried, said I was the highlight of their day, they were locked down like a criminal. It was so sad. And many of their adult children had no problem with it. Never challenged it. Didn't even try. It was emotionally draining for me and it cemented my dislike for the covidians who 💯 complied with these awful draconian policies.

You may have to start searching for a new state in which to live - most of the New England states and Mid Atlantic are legacy DEMONratic - I'm in PA - lived here most of my life as a staunch Republican--went "Indy" after working for the Mitt the Mutt campaign in 2012 (what a disgrace he was to conservative values). Because you have to registered as either a DEMONrat or Republican to vote the primaries in our state--I had to switch back to GOP in 2016 and voted for Trump both elections. Start specific searches for "pay as you go health clinics" and see what you get - you can include a specific state in the search if you would prefer to move to a specific state. Be patient--the tide is turning...slowly...as the "old saw" states....TRUTH WILL "OUT"!

WONDERFUL! Medicine has become HUGE biz, thanks to the largest population sector ever in the world's history--the BOOMERS!! It's NOT about healing or health--hasn't been for many decades. But there are a FEW CHOICE practitioners around the world who take the Hippocratic Oath seriously. Dr. Zev Zelenko was one of them God rest his mighty soul! Dr. McCullough, Dr. Simone Gold are 2 more and there are many more that I have no knowledge of - I'm sure if you keep searching online--you WILL find a TRULY holistic practitioner and, more than likely, they'll be "off the grid" and "pay as you go"--which is fine with me.
