I got he same "enjoy this medical annoyance forever."

Mine is wearing compression wear on my left leg & foot, due to irreperable
massive swelling(edema) in both. &, more rercently, the need to use a CPAP when
sleeping.

Yup, that's why we make doctors take 8+ years of university then a year or two
of residency dealing with ER (usually) situations.

The nurses union is tryingt o claim t hey deserve ttop be paid the same as
dctors bnecause they iknow as much & do as much.

Umm, how many nurses have 9 years of student loans to pay off? How many pay
rent(or lease) on a medical office? & pay for a nurse, to boot!

I like nurses (in my job, I get more done quicker by going to the nurses
instead of the doctor directly)

Doctors are expertts in anatomy & medical diagnostics & treatment of it.
Nurses' key job is patient care(i.e. focused on the patients, rather than
focused ona disease)

When I came out of my 60-hour coma, after my aneurysm.  The neurologist greeted
me, after being paged, & explained I had had an aneurysm bursdt, & what that
is, & thart he'd done a lifesaving surgery called a 'clipping' & explained
that, too.

Then he adds, "I don't usually7 operate on those; usuyally I just do an
autopsy."

Umm, yeah, great bedside manner, Doc!

A nurse later explained thatr neuroloigists spend 90% of their work time
working direectly on unattached brains, so ;ack in many basic social skills.

Oh well, I was happy to find out that even though only 2% survive this,. I was
in that 2%!

Most of those survivers were out in public, or with a loved one, when they
collapsed, so someone called 911 immediately.  I was alone(physically), at
home, yet here I am, still comlaining(I'm cutting back) & breathing.

So, yes, I thank God regularly that I am here to continue my life's mission,
whatever it is(or they are). . .

Beats working, as I always say, sometimes. (while working *LOL*)
