Just got out of hospital.

I had my left knee replaced on tuesday the 17th. Excellent surgeon, excellent results.
Something curious nearly made me give myself away during my recovery.

During shift handover I was to receive a medication of potentially dangerous character. I have dealt with this medication before and I am not concerned.
What did concern me was the student nurse who was unable to open the childproof bottle in which it was contained.
Those two factors together made me uncomfortable.
What sort of females are getting into the medical profession?
I am very glad I am home now.

Being a man is incredible good luck. Do not waste it on the unlucky.

Did you turn your head and cough??

Good for you. A speedy recovery for you, I hope.

Well they do act like a child their entire ‘adult’ life.
Even the ‘smart’ ones are dumb as a box of silly string.

Same thing I worry about.

Friends sister is a nurse. While she was in school, living at home, he and I walked in to her unplugging the microwave, getting ready to throw it away. We asked her if it was broken, she replied yes. The lightbulb was burned out, so it cant cook now…..

Plugged it back in, made a bag of popcorn, and the puzzled look on my face just made my buddy burst out laughing.

She honestly thought the light bulb cooked the food.

And she is a nurse.

Don't chase tail. Turn yours around, walk away, and live free!

[PhilandryParticipant 538]

Thank you for your good wishes.
It is less than a week since surgery and I am already walking without an aid.

The secret is preop exercise.

A determined attitude doesn’t hurt either.

Being a MGTOW helps me take all life matters in my stride. I know all you guys have my six and that gives me confidence.
Thanks again.

To answer your question; the kind of women that make you thankful you’re not being wheeled to the meat locker instead! Glad everything went okay, but not as glad as you!

[PhilandryParticipant 538]

Venom,

I didn’t turn my head and cough, but I had to bite my tongue.

Best not to say anything and keep vigilant.

The meat locker won’t claim me for some time yet.

Situational awareness is my sword and shield in both my work and my private life.

The kind of girl who sits on the couch eating bon-bons watching soaps, with ZERO education and NO brain. Sees a commercial “Take our training course for a GREAT career in the medical field!”

There you go. The medical field is full of freaks. They are causing the disease. It’s a snake oil industry – hence why they force you to buy it. If it’s not a surgeon, it’s bulls~~~, IMO.

[SandalsParticipant 4253]

Also they type of person who has zero control over her life, so she wants to “help” others. It’s like when you meet CRAZY women and ask what they do, and they say, “I’m a life coach”, and they have their f~~~ing business card they printed to give you.

And psychopaths, who like the thought of having power over others who are bed-ridden.

[AntipathyParticipant 4901]

Get well soon brother Phil. And yes, some of the women in health care do not belong there. They are just book-smart enough to get through med school, but that’s it, they have no real passion for taking care of people.

[Deadly RaverParticipant]

Nice to hear you’re doing well after the surgery. Hope you get back to normal soon.

Learn from the past, Control the present, and you will know the Future.

[PhilandryParticipant 538]

Thank you Fatal and Deadly Raver,
Small update:
Just visited physiotherapist for first time. He made me walk around a bit without any support and said I walked into the place a week after surgery the way I should be walking out of the place after he has completed a month of therapy with me.
So I am apparently doing good.
It’s all in the exercise you do prior to the op.
Hope this helps anyone facing surgery.

Sandals,
your wisdom is not wasted on me. You sound like you know of what you speak.

Happy to hear you’re getting better, Philandry. I will say a prayer for you tonight.

Thank you Gambit, my brother.

I work with nurses every day at work as a pharmacist. Some of them are indeed as dumb as a bag of rocks, yet arrogant and stubborn as an ox. Some of them don’t wanna do a f~~~ing thing for you.

I remember one night clearly, I spotted a drug interaction that could have been fatal. This person was elderly, was taking 40mg of citalopram (antidepressant), and was prescribed an antibiotic called ciprofloxacin. These two drugs when taken together can increase the risk of Torsades de Pointes, which is basically your f~~~ing heart stopping dead in its tracks. I’m trying to get a hold of someone who has authority to switch the drug to something less dangerous, and after 40 minutes of being bounced around from one station to another, I finally reach a nurse. This lazy c~~~ tried to tell me that I should stop using the computer to dictate actions for me and just fill it. I explain to her that there is a lot of scientific evidence backing this interaction as well as being included in the FDA’s Prescribing Information, and that her heart could stop. Unless there is careful monitoring of the Q-T interval on the EKG (which most ER doctors do not), it shouldn’t be prescribed.

“So…….what do you want ME to do about it?”

Stupid, f~~~ing, bitch.

I was enraged at both her ignorance and audacity, but I kept my cool. I asked her to page the doctor and have him give me a call back as soon as possible. She said it’s gonna be a long time, I said fine.

I didn’t get a call until the next day. And guess what…the doctor was glad that I brought it to his attention and he f~~~ing switched the antibiotic.

I potentially saved a life. Had I listened to that c~~~, the old lady might have died.

MoneyOverBitches,
Wow, Just wow…
That scares me.

I also forgot to add, the dose of ciprofloxacin was written at a higher dose than was intended by the doc!
