[Covid-19] ”Every day countless doctors making gut-wrenching decisions who they're going to let die in favor of who they may save.” Italy not China!!!

[UltimaOnline]

”Every day countless doctors making gut-wrenching decisions who they're going to let die in favor of who they may save.” - Lenore Hawkins, Italy.

This statement applied to China in the last few months, doctors forced to choose tens of thousands of patients to die because of lack of adequate medical facilities.

Today it applies to Italy (supposedly 1st world country with one of the best medical facilities in the world), and to differing extents other ill-prepared countries in the world as well.

I don't know how doctors had to let tens of thousands of patients in China when the total death toll worldwide is only 4500.

Serves Italy right for signing on to China's OBOR imperialism.

The outbreak in Italy started in Milan and northern Italy, where the Tiongs are in huge numbers. Parasites of Italy's fashion industry.

You trust official death tolls?

Eg. The actual cases of rapes are over 100x the official reported figures.

The situation in an overwhelmed hospital is scary for those at the hospital both patients and doctors and nurses.

Doctors are over worked. Scared to get sick or already get sick and have to quarantine themselves leading to further shortage of staff or work while sick.

Patients in waiting area feel like they are going go die and family kpkb when is their turn to be seen all asking for attention.

War zone. You dont know how this is like because most people will stay away from the hospital unless they are sick.

The key word is overwhelmed. When it is overwhelming it "feels like" you are treating "trans of thousands" who are going to die.

Basically it is doctors and nurses desperate for relief. I certainly do not want to be in that situation.

Many in Sinkieland are dying too but continue with oxygen support so that will not be a statistics.

I can understand exactly how they feel but when they put out public statements about the situation all they do is panic the public which is not helpful at all.

I tell you what is a war zone that occurs EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND at Middlemore hospital it's the drunk bastards at A & E who have been brought in because they wrapped their cars round a tree, fell down a flight of steps, got involved in a mass brawl etc. What makes it so bad is that unless they are unconscious the majority are belligerent and violent and attack doctors and nurses. It truly is overwhelming and i have been there when it happens.

So you have seen how it looks like.

Now imagine having 10 times the number of other patients in the waiting are with cough and cold plus the usual drunk driving accident assholes.

Remember during covid19 people still crash their cars and get drunk too.

Psychiatrists have it even better. Pretend to listen to a bunch of loonies telling them how miserable they are, prescribe an SSRI of dubious effectiveness and then collect $400 to $1000 depending upon who your patient is.

There is a 99% chance that the same patients will still be miserable a few weeks later so they'll be back to tell more sob stories and the shrink will then add more medication to the mix and collect another hefty sum.

Some patients end up being on anti depressants for 3 decades or more. It's a goldmine and the doctor doesn't have to do a thing except pretend to be sympathetic.

Indeed. Some of us here have to do the same, yet we are not even paid!

KNN when people suffer from depression due to financial matters psychiatrists should be offering free service instead of adding to the woes KNN

 

[ginfreely]

Poor stupid useless men can’t make it in life because you are lazy unmotivated and did not work hard. Proud thieves slanderers harassers criminal bullies sons of whores like @Valium @sweetiepie @rotiprata @Bad New Brown @glockman etc that only know how to repeat evil filthy lies of me to bully me a virgin as a prostitute are not fit to be called a man.

I am sure if the patients had kept the money instead, they would all feel much better.

Cannabis doctor is what I am now.

Patients I see tell me they have some of the following

Anxiety
Depression
Pain
Insomnia
PTSD
ADHD
Multiple Sclerosis
Cancer
Migraine Headaches
Fibromyalgia
Crohns disease
Neuropathic pain
Autism
Epilepsy

I would say most are either anxiety insomnia and pain. Conditions that have no way of objectively assessing and proving. And all the patients who come to me only get one type of treatment : cannabis. And 99.99% want what I prescribe and are happy to take it.

Plus it is legally available at stores. You dont even need a prescription to buy cannabis. But patients still come to me for a prescription! So no worries that it is illicit and that people could be abusing etc. I can always say hey this patient could just go go the store to buy it anyway without seeing me.

It is like me prescribing whiskey and vodka to help people relax.

U know why it's like that,the people who go to psychiatrists,they are permanently fucked,their lives are fucked up either seriously or big time,they have personality or psychological issues or problems they cant solve or fix,no one can....neither can psychiatrists,all they can do is lend u a listening ear cause god knows nowadays u can't even get sympathy or emotional support from other human beings,u have to go to a paid professional now to be ur friend.and besides that all the psychiatrists can do is prescribe drugs,drugs alter the mood of ur brain,but it doesn't solve the root cause,the root cause is ur life's royally fucked up or u have personality disorders that can't be fixed,those are the things the professionals can't fix,and no human can.......all they can do is prescribe drugs to make u feel better like pain relievers.....u might as well be taking cocaine or meth or just smoke marijuana.
