Tonight I helplessly held the hand of and stroked the hair of a beautiful 14 year old girl as she exited this world. She was looking forward to starting high school and eventually becoming a veterinarian. It was so senseless! I truly believe she could have been saved if her
A maskless guy sit beside me on my flight. He said to me why are you wearing a mask you don't have to anymore. I pulled my mask down and said because I tested positive yesterday and coughed. He jumped up and went and talked to the flight attendant and then sit in a empty seat!
a coworker had 2 of her tires cut in 1 of our employee parking lots overnight! Fortunately, security caught and was able to detain the asshole until police arrived and took him into custody. Fuck the big orange buffoon, DeSantis, Facebook, Fox news, antivaxxers, magas,
Dr Mercola, Robert Kennedy Jr, all parents who believe these killers over proven science and ALL other killers who spread anti vaccine lies. I can't deal with people right now! I love you guys!
yesterday. About 2 hours later we were unable to save a 25 year old mother of 1 who was 15 weeks pregnant. She had refused the vaccines because of the lies about them causing infertility and harming her baby. Liars killed her, her baby and robbed a 2 year old little boy of his
parents had not forbidden us from intubating her. A free vaccination would have prevented it all! This little girl was robbed of her whole life and of fulfilling all of her dreams. She had been with us 9 days and was able to communicate well until taking a turn for the worse
I had to watch a 19 year old woman who just finished her freshmen year of college leave this precious world last night with level 2 brain injuries and blunt force & penetrable injuries to her chest & abdomen. Her only "mistake" was driving her 44 year old mother to the store for
mommy and sibling. Not to mention robbing a husband of his wife and child. Those were 2 of 4 deaths we had tonight with the oldest being 45 years old! It was the 1st time since late March we have lost more than 3 covid patients in a single shift. Then we find out this morning
some last minute cookout items. All because a 25 year old irresponsible POS thought he had the right to get drunk & drive! Why do we keep tolerating people who drive under the influence of alcohol and or drugs who have no respect or regards for their fellow humans? Over 10K
people still die annually because of drunk drivers! Of course the POS drunk walked away with only minor injuries. The woman's mother is in critical condition. If she does survive her quality of life will be greatly diminished mentally & physically!
I hear the Catholic church is doing lots of promotions for Kari Lake in Arizona. No disrespect meant to any Catholics but its time to start taxing the Catholic church.
Any asshole governor who signs a law forbidding schools to require masks should be held criminally responsible for anyone who gets sick or dies after a covid infection at school.
I just got off the phone with a Latina friend of mine from Miami. She was telling me she thinks DeSantis is starting to lose a lot of his support in the Miami Latino community.
I have been on here about 3 minutes and saw 2 tweets saying Speaker Johnson won't certify a Biden win in 2024. Remember! This congressional term ends 1/3/25! Presidential certification is 1/6/25. So if everyone votes in 2024 Johnson won't be speaker on 1/6/25.
Well I have a bit of news to share. I haven't been feeling myself for the past 24 hours or so. Just feeling very tired and having a bad headache that I can't get rid of. I took a covid test at work. I just got my positive results. After nearly 18 months treating covid patients
A very short 19 years ago today 18 year old me almost lost her life at the hands of a previously convicted rapist who had recently been released early. At the time I thought I would rather die than be raped so I fought back with everything I had. But when someone is 13 or 14
I found out last night a nurse who works in cardiac care at my hospital was assaulted yesterday morning. She made the mistake of wearing her scrubs home and stopped to get gas. A guy came up to her while she was pumping gas and started berating her. She asked him to move away.
At that point he threw his cup of coffee in her face. Fortunately, it wasn't hot enough to burn her. We need stronger laws to stop this fucking bull shit BEFORE someone gets killed.
We lost a 21 year old unvaccinated man last night. In the few weeks he had been a patient I had spoken with his parents, GF and both siblings on multiple occasions. They all had been begging him for months to get vaccinated. He wouldn't because he idolized some anti vaxxer
Well I found out yesterday I have a date with a parole board in CA in May. It will be the 1st parole hearing for the previously convicted rapist who raped & nearly killed me almost 19 years ago. I will be there as well will the woman he raped about 24 hours after raping me. I
I hate having to say this but 117 of my colleagues at Houston Methodist Hospital deserve to be fired. They also should never be able to work in health care again.
2 more fake vaccine cards were found in the past 36 hours in possession of patients admitted with covid. That's brings our total to 6 within about 3 weeks. They all claimed to be fully vaxxed and presented these fake cards as proof. The DOJ needs to address this problem!
Yesterday my team were successful in saving an expectant mother who coded 3 times. Day shift also saved her a couple of times. Tonight we were unsuccessful in saving her. Our 3rd expecting mother we have lost since August 14th. Sadly, none were far enough along to save babies
I have to stop working on New Years eve! Last year on NYE I had an angry covid positive patient bite me on the hand. Last night a covid patient who is unhappy with the treatments he is being given and those we won't give him knocked my face shield off and tried to pull my masks
Another RN just walk out in the middle of our shift. She is the 2nf to walk out and 5th overall who has quit during this latest surge. It's like we can't go thru a night without added drama these days! At this rate hospitals will be hiring people off the streets to be nurses.
Last night we still had 4 unvaxxed pregnant patients. At 7am this morning we moved 1 of those patients to the floor. Fortunately, she is doing well. Unfortunately, a couple of hours before that we also moved a 27 year old, 19 week pregnant mother of 2 to the morgue.
Excellent idea from 1 of our top 5 members of congress! Virginia lawmaker suggests members of Congress don't get paid until they fix debt ceiling crisis
I woke up to some good personal news today. I have been accepted for SERE training and underwater survival training this summer. My 1st step to becoming a life flight nurse in the USAFR. It will be a challenging 21 days but very rewarding!
I unwillingly get to test the efficacy of 1 dose of the Pfizer vaccine as well as how effectively covid may transmit thru a human bite. I was bitten on the hand hard enough to go thru my glove & deep enough into my hand to draw blood, by a very sick covid denier.
I woke up to some terrible news this evening. A good friend of mine since freshmen year of nursing school was found unresponsive in her home today. Apparently, she took her own life. She leaves behind a set of beautiful 8 year old twins boy/girl. I am broken right now.
I just did a very quick but thorough background check on Special Counsel Robert Hur. I found something very pertinent about Mr Hur! His expertise is in LAW not in MEDICINE! He has absolutely NO qualifications to assess someone's cognitive functions!
After treating covid patients for 18 months. I thought I had been requested to do almost everything. Tonight, I had a new 1st! I had a mother ask me to prescribe her 24 year old son Ivermectin AND MOVE HIM TO THE PARKING LOT SO SHE COULD PICK HIM UP! Insanity is contagious!
I apologize for being mostly AWOL. I had a torturous 12 hours or so. My temp was up to almost 104. O2 level and breathing has been fine though. I finally got my temp to break a few minutes ago. Thank you all for all your messages and for checking on me. I love you all
Am I the only person who thinks the likes of Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, mega churches and many others should be paying their fair share of taxes?
I lost a beautiful 21 year old patient tonight. It's not only very sad it's infuriating! Her mom told me she had refused to get vaccinated because she was afraid the conspiracy theories about covid vaccines causing sterility were true. She desperately wanted to become a mother
Adults are supposed to protect kids regardless of whose kids they are. I will never understand why most of the country will be sending kids under 12 to school without being vaccinated or mask mandates. Children deserve much better from all of us.
We lost 1 of our high school students tonight. Before covid he was a healthy & athletic young man. The class of 2023 will be short 1 very special member. Covid can kill anyone!
Merrick Garland wasn't my 1st choice for AG. I have embraced, respected and defended him though. I am at the point where I think Biden needs to fire him. We need an AG with more desire and motivation to straighten out a lot of issues. Sally Yates, was my 1st choice!
For those who asked about variants. In the past few weeks the majority of those admitted to my ICU have delta. We also have cases of lambda, gamma and the unnamed Colombian variant (B.1.621) Just this morning our 1st case of the epsilon variant was verified
I know I have no right to make requests of anyone. However, I am pleading with you all to please stay home tonight! Regardless, of where you are. If you aren't an essential worker who has to work just stay home!
Apparently sickly, unwell, ailing, feeble, infirmed, weakling, enfeebling, frail almost bedridden DJT had to leave his campaign stop at the Iowa state fair early.
I accepted a job on a traveling covid team today. Basically, they contract with hospitals all over the country who need help. So, we get moved around some from hospital to hospital depending on where the need is greater. I will find out Monday morning where to report on Tuesday
The FBI needs to start the terrorist investigation by arresting 5 men. Trump Sr, Trump Jr, Rudy Giuliani, Josh Hawley & Ted Cruz. Then they can go after the rest of the terrorists.
A morbidly obese 75 year old man whose diet consists of big macs, KFC, diet coke and adderall with an short explosive temper and very high level of stress is at very high risk of sudden death.
I found out about an hour ago my little brother and his GF both tested positive for covid today. They both got their boosters on the 3rd. My bro is asymptomatic and his GF has a minor sore throat and some stuffiness. Thankfully, they're vaxxed and healthy!
Four years ago yesterday morning I boarded a flight in Denver and landed at JFK approximately 4 hours later. A few hours later I walked into what was supposed to be an ICU. It was more like the gates of Hell. The severity and sick & dying patients was unfathomable! I expected
Well my stupendously amazingly wonderful friends. This is my sign off. I will pop in when possible. I love and will miss you all! You all have carried me for the past 1 1/2. I can never thank each of you enough. You all please stay safe and take care of yourselves! It's
I am willing to bet all 535 of our congress people have a very nice meal this Christmas. With plenty of presents under their trees. With no worries about buying groceries or paying rent or utilities.
Now that we're saving $150M to $300M daily by ending the war. Imagine all the lives we could save by spending a small % of that money on better mental health services for our veterans!
I woke up with a slight fever feeling like a train hit me. Even mild covid sucks! It gives me even more respect for people who have battled this virus. It also pisses me off more at those who are too ignorant to get vaccinated! Will take tonight off and have tomorrow night off
