#MedSky I'm in Paramedic training. I really want to help folks. When RFK Jr put vax availability in question, I'm starting to question it. If things get better, great. If they don't folks will need me more in my rural area. I'm a vet & fmr bureau agent. It's been rough all around. Advice welcomed.
Mainers and all Americans don't want to run geriatrics when we have young, vibrant, in touch younger people. Mills will lose against a young con-artist Trumper. Schumer does this, he and our democracy are toast!!!!
Just saw Rep. Haley Stevens (D) MI on Psaki. I looked up her record and statements. Here's what I found important to me: 1. Self described "centrist" - nope 2. Supports Israel's actions in Gaza & has AIPAC support - nope 3. Supported ICE's actions in LA and said so on the floor - nope
They don't pay taxes but get to use gov't services and now get OUR tax money, which you know most will use for religious purposes or to fund another jet and mansion. FFS
Don't put this all on Kennedy. Everyone knew where he stood on disease prevention. No, this is on Republicans and it should be called "the GOP death count."
Well on the bright side, when Covid or another virus runs through the country like a wildfire, the double masking of N95's [in lieu of unavailable vaccines] should bring his volume down...or he's been laid off due to healthcare insurance cuts and hospital costs.
The first Nazi book burnings were the biggest archive of trans research that existed at the time.
Does she not know he is a proponent of eugenics or is she perfectly fine with it? If so, she acknowledge both of you would be targeted? I'd have a talk with your sibling whose married to her.
This is the beginning of criminalizing Transgender people. Next, LGB.
I expect the FDA will require a doctor's order or a prescription attesting to your underlying condition. I also wouldn't put it past Kennedy to put folks getting the vax on a list for a wellness farm aka medical concentration camp. Lastly, will healthcare workers get the vax? If not hcw's will leave
Meijers pharmacy in MI won't give an updated vax bc they are waiting on the FDA, which they told me yesterday, "will happen in a couple weeks." Yeah right. Ain't happening. Btw, they also wouldn't give me another vax of the last Covid batch bc I've already had it. Not helpful.
How many months did Trump give his kids Secret Service protection after he left office. FFS he gave Ivanka more than a year of protection for no reason.
If ICE and other federal law enforcement agents think they'll escape consequences for their actions, they are sadly mistaken. They will be fired, investigated and prosecuted. Americans will demand it. The legal/labor protections they used to have are already gone under this administration.
This will destroy an already broken hc system. What hcw who worked thru covid will stay and deal with a worse situation.
Knowing RFK jr & crew, those using these conditions to get vax'd will be put on a list for a 'wellness farm' aka concentration camp.
I spoke with my doctor today. I asked her if I, a hcw, would still be getting the vaccine. She said, while not sure of the new changes she couldn't imagine hcw's wouldn't get it. So, do you know that hcw's won't be allowed the vax? I'll effing quit and stop my paramedic training.
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
Does anyone know if healthcare workers will be able to get the vaccine(s) because if not, this hcw will not only quit but will discontinue her studies for paramedic.
In fairness, did it actually contain ham?
I think some folks are missing the plot. Trump and/or those running Project 2025 know this will cause destruction but most importantly disruption/chaos. So martial law and cancelled elections can be invoked.
So, would someone just ask him if a pill costs $100, how much will a 1,500 % reduction on it, cost? Pleeeezzzz
I'm guessing the low flow of arterial blood is causing a lot of mental misfires....oh and his ignorance doesn't help either.
I haven't seen this much trash even at Fishkills.
However your insistence on not voting for the opposition to Trump will cement our fate. Pure idiocy.
So, doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants who prescribed or gave their patients Ivermectin and other bs treatments for Covid are liable too, right?
And those American Palestinians/Muslims/Chaldeans etc who didn't vote or voted for Trump because of Palestine feel so good about keeping to their principles too. Jesus take the wheel.
Yep. Perfection.
I know he's not been good on trans issues but he also took heat and backed down recently. If it comes down to him as the D candidate it's a no Brainer. I'm not voting for the R who hates everything AND LGBTQ folks. That thinking got us here.
When was this podcast? This pic is from 10/2024.
I'm up against the biggest of big money. If you can, please consider making a contribution to help build the statewide grassroots movement we need. secure.actblue.com/donate/platn...
Jesus Christ....this guy is mentally gone
I remember when women couldn't have credit cards, before 1974. This is why education is important. All must remember... none of this is ancient history.
wtaf? He's still alive?
She forgot the rest of the line. "They said Sir......"
Understand, folks in red states where the poor join the National Guard, also depend on a large portion of their income from the NG. So, the mobilizing of the NG is a win for them, especially in units whose members are civilians without a higher education = low income earners.
And this ladies and gentlemen is how you start a Civil War. States mobilizing their militias in a political battle.
Can others have "worship service" for their faiths, i.e. Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Wiccan....?
N: Reykjavik, Iceland S. Dunedin, NZ E: Doha, Qatar W. Fairbanks, Alaska
I know the feeling
I think empathetic folks should join, go thru the training, waste ICE $$$ and then stay until they are asked to do immigration arrests and quit. Gums up the works....
Actually, we do pronounce it "U-FAP"
I have a suggestion.
Have they been fired or promoted?
So any belief is okay?
Wasn't there a second in command? I mean there always is or is Texas just that incompetent?
I buy native plants from my local Conservation District.
Next, Republicans intro bill to rename The White House, Trump Mansion and he gets a fee for the branding. Sheesh.
Is it likely the fees to join Trump's Mar-a-Lago club included access to these young girls who were raped? Is that why Trump is so scared? The financial repercussions would be devastating.
So, the new euphemism for raped "young girls" is "Trump's employees."
1. Court appoints a Special Prosecutor 2. Investigate allegations 3. If true Special Prosecutor files Contempt charges against Bove 4. Trial process begins
The Capitol Post? I mean if Trump et al sought retribution they'd have to go after Amazon 😂
Maxwell wasn't just Epstein's enabler she also RAPED these girls!!!!
got to fill up those newly built prisons for "immigrants" somehow. $$$$
So, what are the odds that Lindsey Graham is in the Epstein files for "meeting" little boys?
Project 2025 is meeting its benchmarks of destruction and rebuilding a gov't and society they want. Trump its vessel. Trump now threatens to destroy what they've accomplished i.e. Dems winning in the midterms. They want a subtle takeover and DJT isn't it.
I believe she's married to a billionaire, so hopefully they have joint accounts 😊
If I were the incoming Dem POTUS one of the first things I do is court martial Gabbard for conduct unbecoming etc & reduce her rank to Pvt. E-1 w/a dishonorable discharge.
Yep.
To bad though it doesn't come with a pension and healthcare.
I didn't think it was possible to viscerally hate someone so much. If my doc gives me a diagnosis in which I have less than 6 months to live.....I'm going to live it to the fullest.
I've got friends near there too. Maybe I'll visit.
Just call it what it is, the white man's burrito, or cultural appropriation....btw, I'd still eat it 😂
You there? Where?
The Speaker has the power to do that........a republican.
Not 1000 of them and most of them, stanch Republicans, despise Trump, Patel & Bonito. That's why the Upper echelon were removed from the Director's floor.
No, the death of a man found in a frozen river. Lot's of other parts but don't want to spoil it.
It won't stop them from honoring a subpoena/court order.
You can't have federal employees sign NDAs, that has already been litigated btw courts can defy them.
Not if someone files suit, then they'd have to ignore a subpoena from the court.
The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon is a novel about her and a murder that she was allowed to testify about because she was a midwfe, a learned women.
But now you have 1000 FBI employees who know what's in the file.
Paramount+ sub = $60 a year Shift that $ to your @pbs.org station instead and you’ll do two good things at the same time. Do it.
Be sure to thank Lisa Murkowski...her being a member of the GOP gives them the majority to do what they do. Vote for someone else next time.
//sarcasm//
I wear my military dog tags. I know why they have the rubbers, the dual chains and in the older ones, the notch but I never thought about the chain. Care to give a synopsis of why it's a breakaway chain?
I so respect and care that I have an amazing family doctor. She's actually saved/changed my life. A main reason why I haven't left the states is because of her and her practice. I'm a ride and die with my PCP! ❤️👊
We've got some great breweries up here in the UP! Marquette: Black Rocks Ore Dock Barrel & Beam Drifa Kognisjon Bryggeri etc......
Well, isn't she the one who cancelled Ruth Ben-Ghiat and Ryan Holiday, who spoke on authoritarianism and the need to teach race and gender, respectively and criticized the USNA's removal of books? She's getting nominated for a third star so, don't feel too sorry for her.
"Is chronic venous insufficiency fatal?" is trending on google.....🤔
How long until Fuentes back tracks?
A Dem House majority & a 67+ Senate Dem majority could Impeach and remove Bove....and Thomas....and Alito.....et al.
Perhaps, having an Primary Care Tech, would bridge the knowledge gap a new doc has with a new patient. Also it has the added benefit of an already established relationship and they can come to you.
In the US we obviously have gaps. We're trying new work arounds. Training as a Primary Care Technician as well as Paramedic. We're doing house calls for Docs and hoping to prevent emergent health outcomes. Are they doing this in Canada to address the PCP shortage?
You may be witnessing the beginning of a beautiful friendship with benefits ;-)
Fascism is evil. Fascism is scary. Fascism is awful. But goddamn it is also so fucking whiny and intellectually vapid and incredibly annoying.
What a beautiful friendship. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Sure, sure. Did you ask the EMS 1st Responders bc their hospitals and departments depend on Medicaid for transporting many of their patients.
well, you do if there's a fucking wolf
His mistress is pissed she's losing her healthcare and told his wife as much.
For the people asking "Why are they taking ppl off Medicaid, banning women's healthcare, raising dialysis sessions from $0 to $35, making meds less affordable, deporting brown ppl" it's eugenics folks. They really believe the weak/takers/non-whites need to be culled to make society strong/malleable
I wish some one would interview these people and ask them "btw, what kind of health insurance do you have?"
Whether or not they do this, it is all psychological warfare, intended to demoralize and tamp down the opposition. If we're spending energy on worrying/fighting this, it will lower the effort to fight on other fronts.
They just kicked a bunch of kids off of their health insurance. I hope cussing doesn’t offend you. 🤬
Here in MI it's MICHILD, Healthy Michigan, MI Health Link, Freedom to Work, Healthy Kids/Healthy Kids Dental, Healthcare Coverage for People Impacted by Flint Water and Medicaid. Yep, gonna be a lot of Trump and non-voters FAFO.
Rural hospitals in Nebraska and Indiana already announced they will be closing hospitals by the end of the year.
I'm sick, not just bc of the harm it will do but the Republicans laughing & hugging while they sign it. I have folks in my area already calling me at home asking if I can come & check them out bc of some med concern. I grab my bag & go. I live in a rural area. Hospital is 30 mins away. 😭
I wish there had been ads on TV/Radio social media like this before the vote.
Probably yes. While they would see the improvement in hc and parental leave, they'd be angry at the immigrants and non-whites getting it too. Simply put, they are at their core, irrationally fearful and ignorant.
