Staying indoors makes you unwell. Wording is important because improvement language implies things are good the way they are but can get better. And good is always acceptable.

Proliferation of medicine coincided with meteoric rise of chronic diseases and thoroughly increased the proportion of the sick in the population.

Prevention of benign childhood diseases is paramount is western medicine. Yet in case of cancer the rhetoric is that of a fight. Anybody with half a brain can see that majority lose this fight. You don’t want to get cancer. Yet zero effort is spent on cancer prevention.

Hospitals have NEVER in history been places for healing. They have ALWAYS been places for the destitute on their way out. You cannot make an institution a healing place. Just like you cannot make the sun the moon.
Quote sue robins (she/her) @suerobinsyvr Jan 5, 2020
"A hospital is, after all, a place for healing, and if it’s a place for healing, people should feel as good as possible there. The food should be good, the lighting should be good, the architecture should be beautiful, the people should be kind, the process should be easy." YUP. x.com/AndrewMakeTwee…

It’s a myth that hospitals or medicine have anything to do with healing. If you continue fooling yourself about it, you are in delusional denial. https://currentaffairs.org/2020/01/a-healing-place/

I’m very sorry for your loss. Unexpected deaths of friends shock you to the core. Avoid indoors and especially cars where the walls crush you with the thoughts beyond what you can cope with. Get a shovel to plant or dig up weeds. Being outdoors can get you through mourning.

Technically the button is pressed when a patient is in fact dead. Attempts to revive (resciciutate) follow.

It’s scary to see people with very little experience and education treating people even for simple conditions. You cannot even have an intelligent conversation with them about treatment options because of the overall low educational background.

Imagine a US where you can’t access a physician. Not in an office; hospital or anywhere. A tiny fraction will supervise armies of fast track degree mill non phys bots who follow algorithms and are easily replaced. What does that look like? CVS? Amazon? Walmart?

Reduction in the sick by people taking care of themselves and each other can reduce the need for physicians thus reducing a shortage of physicians.

Sleep. Food. Rest. Activity outside. All of those have nothing to do with doctors or needles. If you are too lazy, you always have an option of paying for it later on.

Effective medical treatment should not rely on luck of the patient. A dead oncologist’s message to the sick “keep pursuing treatments, I was just unlucky” sends a strong message about ineffectiveness and unpredictability of #cancer therapies. Your best bet is to never get cancer.
1:09 PM · Jan 17, 2020
Patients fear getting an unexpected diagnosis, the big hospital bills. Clinicians fear being sued when patients have a bad outcome. Administrators are terrified of “rocking the boat” and do not speak up when they see something wrong https://hcldr.wordpress.com/2018/10/28/fear-in-healthcare/amp/
1:36 PM · Jan 17, 2020
Your Code status (whether you are revived or not when you die) should not fluctuate with ups and downs of your treatments and how you are feeling now. When patients feel better and change code status I know nobody talked to them and explained resuscitation and its after effects.

I don’t know. Caffeine is a potent stimulant. In the absence of food, essentially drugging yourself might not be the best of ideas. Yet going off a potent drug cold turkey is very hard.

You can live without food for weeks. What year is this? Perhaps back in the day those unable to eat also weren’t able to drink thus two issues got conflated.

Keep insulting doctors, and good luck finding a physician in 10 years. People don’t realize doctors have been demoted to the role of a factory worker managed by administrators and insurance companies. Often doctors’ hands are tied.

It would be so important to lobby employers to ensure people are not overworked and overstressed. It would be important to promote enough undisturbed sleep. Encourage activity in fresh air and sunlight. Promote food selection and cooking instead of passive eating.

This is a farce. Attempt reviving a dead sick person for what end? Make money from it? Inflict torture on an old person? Not surprising the nurse had a foreign name and acted logically, reasonably, and prudently. Resuscitation of sick old people has highly unfavorable outcomes.

Saving a life at times means sacrificing a life of at least one person, usually a woman, who will be a 24/7 caregiver. Alternatively, a saved life will become a charge of minority/immigrant women who will care for it for a minimum wage that will force them to work 60-80 hrs/w.
