Had to go to the ER 3 weeks ago for an injured hand. I had nurses coming in who clearly just wanted to be around someone who was pleasant. I nearly got hugged several times for being nice. You could see each nurse lighten up when I'd say "Thank you." or "It's ok. I'm fine." 10 stitches after Xrays to make sure I hadn't destroyed my hand. Went back 10 days later for stitch removal and was told how sweet I was... so I told them how much I appreciated them... you could see it lift each one... be kind to medical folks. You need them and they do not have to be there. This old lady has a scar that is minimal because the ER doctor took such gentle care to make sure it was minimal. I'm grateful.

Funny funny man. The ER is so wild. I once did not want to leave my drunk, injured step-son because he was being unruly. The nurse kept telling me to go home (He was 18). Finally she told me, "Mam, this isn't my first rodeo I have this under control. I am about to put him night night with this medication in my hand so I can get some work done". Gotta love a nurse that doesn't take shit off a stupid 18 year old who got drunk, fell, and smashed his face in and is now acting obnoxious. I thanked her and went home to get some sleep. ❤ ❤
I am here testifying that yes these poor Folk are overworked. It also depends on were they work at if they are any good. Sadly less than ⅛ are good at some hospitals that I have been to, maybe less. The other hospitals, one can see the clear differences on care. Sometimes at a good hospitals the wait is long but worth it. At others it is a Waste of time. Sadly, the closest hospital to me is a waste of time. I have a smaller hospitals 5 more minutes, but they are better, but they are not open 24 hours.

We ALL had measles when I was a kid... none of us died, and I went through to high school with most all the same kids. When did measles become deadly..??!!
@@pac524 Like any disease, some people survived, others not. Measles is very contagious and can cause serious health complications (e.g. pneumonia, vision problems, disfigurement, etc). The mortality is lower in well-developed countries with good health care system; however, not so for poor countries. With vaccine, measles was declared eradicated in US and Canada, but now its making a come back.
@@pac524 In 2022, there were an estimated 136 000 measles deaths globally, mostly among unvaccinated or under vaccinated children under the age of 5 years.

Besides, isn't that the Chickenpox that you have a play date for? Not the Measles. If I recall correctly, MMR stands for Mumps, Measles and Rubella. When I was a kid, I had a play date for chickenpox, and it was no big deal. Just itched a lot, and my mom telling me I can't scratch. Put gloves on my hands at night so I don't scratch during my sleep. But it was my understanding that Measles is serious crap and that it's not the one that you want to purposely expose yourself to. Also had someone who works with disease statistics tell me that a high percentage of the people who had chickenpox go really bad were really low in Vitamin D and there were a miniscule amount of people with normal or high levels of Vitamin D that had a bad reaction to chickenpox. So all you people who go rabid at the idea of anti-vaxxers - don't be piling on me. I'm talking to the people who are not going to vax, no matter what you say. If you decide to have a chickenpox party, be sure that your kid has normal or better levels of vitamin D before being exposed.
Yes. Chickenpox parties were a thing back in the day, but even chickenpox can be a big deal. As soon as I got back to school after the measles, I contracted chickenpox, so that was pretty bad as well. I had 5 kids down with chickenpox at once, and 1 of them had it pretty bad. I'm cautious about newer vaccines, but still highly recommended baby shots, including the chickenpox one.
@@BlueJadeU Chickenpox can have a suddenly very bad fever as well. And it leads to Shingles when you're older. Best is to avoid contact with the virus at all but barring that, get vaccinated.
No one is going to practice an NG tube on me. I have had them and it's one of the most uncomfotable, unpleasant, vomit inducing invasion. If I don't need it, you ain't doing it. Period.
I raised my family in a small Kentucky town. We had to go to the ER so often one year that the whole staff would yell out, "oh hi, look it's the $&@%=& family, everytime we came in. It was hilarious!😅
My sisters and I grew up on a farm in KS and had a similar summer. One day when we went in (I think for stitches), the sub nurse was giving us, our charts, and my mom some major side eye. My sister was in a cast for a broken arm, I was getting stitches, and I think my other sister had just had stitches out. She was just sure we were being abused, we were just in a clumsy/reckless stage 😂 Thankfully my mom told her to call our doctor, and he explained farm life to the sub 😂
The period pee sample was actually really wholesome🙃... the spych patients be wildin out😅😂... the voice charting is everything though🫠🤣🤣🤣 Steveio cracks me up
Sadly my sister got the MMR vaccine and she was hospitalized within 24 hours she was a rate case she lost her ability to walk and was deteriorating quickly but my mom still made all of us get it and didn't for my sister her second
The mother who said that Vaccines are poisoning our children is correct. Some of the preservatives in these vaccines are very dangerous!! The Flu show is the worst because you are encouraged to get that one every year. The CDC are usually guessing which flu strains will show up and half the time they get it wrong!! My family have not had a flu shot for the last 15 years. And guess what. We have never had the flu either!!!!
I always had amazing nurses in the ER except one but other that i have always loved the nurses i had especially the ones I had when I was hospitalized as a child
Just started as a behavioral health tech this week! My coworkers and ancient nurse trainer were a lil concerned when I began singing to hit the cpr rate lol
One time I had a fever caused by an ear infection. I happened to take Tylenol right before my doctor appointment. Despite writing down and bringing the history of my symptoms, temperature, and OTC meds treatments, the doctor shrugged and wrote it off as allergies because I actively didn’t have a fever or inflammation in my ear in the office. Never again.
It's a song many people are taught to use, but it's about the beats per minute so many songs can actually be used. 100 to 120 BPM and some of the songs include Eye of the Tiger, Stronger by Britney Spears, Wannabe by Spice Girls, Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stephani, Gettin Jiggy wit It by Will Smith, Highway to Hell by AC/DC, I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor, Thriller by Michael Jackson, and Another One Bites the Dust by Queen. There are some very fun choices in the list depending on the individual you are or are performing CPR on. "Another One Bites the Dust, Hey,y,y,y, Oh, Another Bites the Dust. . ."
Apple juice 😂 Hoedown in the hospital 🤣 the schizophrenia one cracked me up 😅 I swear every schizophrenic I was ever friends with was totally random like this and acted like a hyper 3 year old. They are very easy to get along with. I’m autistic and I get hyper too but I love how schizophrenic people are so chill. They are good people. ❤
If anyone asks, the appropriate song is stayin alive. Not joking, the disco song from The Bee Gees. According to my nurse grandmother, nobody cares which song you use as long as it’s not Another one bites The dust.
I have had a few NG tubes due to pancreatic cancer. I have never been asked to drink while having it put in. I don’t think there’s anything that could make Ng tubes better.
There isn't. They finally got me on a g tube cuz the nasel tube was causing too many problems. My last cancer the swallowing got screwed up. I can sip a bit of water but more than a couple sips an hour it ends up in my lungs. But oof! The gtube hurt like being kicked by a mule or shot! I'm 4 weeks in and it still hurts lol. But I've gained 5lbs by puree food and adding to the shakes. Hope you're doing great this time. 😊
OMFG!! The kid with a fever skit: I got into massive trouble after chewing out a mom for not giving her child fever reducers for a 104° temp. She wanted to prove her child had a fever when she came to the ER. AND, working peds, a father said the exact same stupid thing about making his son gay by doing a rectal temp. 😳🙄😂😂

Now the doc has me on perks and demerol... I love these videos. I have spent so many years of my life in hospitals. The ER room is hilarious on Friday and Saturday nights after 9pm. 🤡😶
I had the measles back in 1967, when the regular measles, and German measles were going around. Is it true whichever one you had you can't get it again, but you can get the other one?
Back in the 60s I had regular measles and the German measles. The chicken pox and mumps were worse. Different jobs have made me get the titer to prove I am immune to the measles.
Me and my 3 sisters had all the kids diseases just before the vaxes were in. I anaged on a multifamily vacation campNG trip ( apparently) to give all 14 kids on vacation chicken pox! I was only 3yrs old! As a grown up RN yes evry new job checks titers for immunity.
We have frequent flyer respite residents in the nursing home ( elderly come and stay for a couple weeks to a month to give family a break) and I can see this for sure, standing there getting report finding out gramma gremlin was just dropped off this morning for a 3 week stay just as you see her coming down the hall in nothing but a diaper that's doubling as a bra, velcro shoes and a big floppy sun hat and you can only think why do I still do this job, I don't get paid enough for this shit and here we freaking go 🤘
Oh found it! Hydromorph!! Yep. We don't use it too much, even in ED. We use oxycodone. Very similar can be oral or IV, slow or fast acting versions available as well Stronger then morph but not as strong as Hydromorph. And way less potent than fentanyl! In AU, we use fentanyl VERY sparingly and at much lower doses than the US for fears of creating an addiction cycle. Not to say some don't get addicted! But our rates are far FAR lower than many other countries - at least for that particular drug- simply because you only get it as an In Pt or as a slow release patch for cancer or palliative care needs- also in lower doses ( normally) for confirmed chronic pain or post op pain. We still have plenty of addiction issues around oxy but it's much harder to get illegally here than other places and so , that has ensured we don't have addiction issues that have overrun hospital systems. We still have way, way too many poorly treated addicted pts- because like everywhere, we lack the services to actually treat the issues and so , all too often we treat and discharge pts right back into the same situation they came from knowing it WILL fail and they will rebound back to ED the very next day.
@erinwoolfrey7650 It's the same thing as hydromorphone if you are familiar with that name. Other names are Hydromorph Contin, Exalgo, Palladone and Dihydromorphinone.
It’s interesting doctors only started telling mothers that measles is dangerous after MMR v was invented. Before then Drs used to tell parents to make sure we got it, and we all did. I got it in the middle of a third world African nation. Drs sent me home to bed, and my dad stayed nurse watch over me while my mum and sister went on a shopping spree.
Before there was a vaccine, the choice was between getting it as a child or hoping you did not get it as an adult, when the symptoms were much more serious. Now the choice includes getting a vaccine with much lower risk than even that of having measles as a kid.
@@JaniceinOR ah no. The choice was get it as a child which isn’t serious and strengthen your immune system (that’s why mothers sent you to play with kids with measles) given 4 billion years of evolution had created the ultimate inoculación - get sick become immune and get healthy and stronger at the same time. Or get it as an adult which can cause shingle. The MMR v is linked by the CDCs own scientists to serious health issues which if you mention on these unscientific platforms result in censorship. But I am a scientist and I read the CDC scientific work. Unlike you who gets your info from the media.
Yep. They got to me, too! Measles, not the government! 😁 The vaccine hadn't come out yet & I was around 3 y/o when I had them. I'm 68 now & I remember as if it were yesterday! The only other time in my life I was that sick was when I had Covid! I was even one of the lucky ones who got the dud Flu shot in 2017, spending Christmas week in the hospital (yep 7 days, the whole week), & I wasn't sick AT ALL compared to when I had those 2! Mama called them "the 31 day measles" & "the red measles". Not sure what the strain might have been. Certainly wasn't German Measles b/c I had to get that vaccine when I got married! Anyway, I remember Mama kept the drapes shut b/c the light hurt my eyes so much. If I moved my head, I'd vomit. If I lay still, I still vomited! I was so sick, I don't remember the rash! Mama also had them when she was young & had a crossed eye the rest of her life! I wonder if my vision problems are from my measles? Hmmm 🤔 They, & mumps & chicken pox are why I'm a Pro-Vaxxer! My kids had chicken pox before the vaccine came out, but they didn't have to go through what I did w/ measles & mumps! I can't understand why anyone would want their child to suffer as I did! I don't wish them on ANYONE!! And people used to bring their kids to get chicken pox, but I've never heard of that for measles!! And NO! I didn't do that w/ mine! I reckon they caught chicken pox from school!!
You are coming to AZ? No way! I used to work in an ER here, so I can relate to these. What movie/show was played at the very end (about being an "elite employee")?
18:00 NO. Under US HIPAA laws you cannot tell the police of a patient being in a room. You CAN go to the room to ask if the patient wants to meet with the police.
My nose is super sensitive on the inside. I would not allow anyone to put a tube down my nose while I am awake. I can't even stand it when my ENT looks up there with the scope.
XD As a frequent flyer at hospitals, I ALWAYS silence the pumps until a nurse can come in (when they get time). I just keep pushing the button to silence it until the main nursing staff can get there - the local hospitals have them code locked so only floor nurses for the shift can actually shut them off - even the aids can't silence as well as I can usually. The nurses laugh and know I give them the extra time to deal with the 'problem' patients and whatever craziness is going on. I rarely call for assistance unless I need pain meds (and I usually wait until someone comes in to ask) the pump is beeping and I'm just telling them it finished or there is a problem, or I have to go to the bathroom (I'm a major fall risk/ supposed to be in a wheelchair, so have to have assistance every time. They don't put the bed alarm on because I move around in the bed a lot and it sets it off constantly and the nurses know and trust me, after many, many visits). I MAYBE call twice or three times a day, tops. Usually less - and that's for a full 24 hours. I just wait until people come in or I just amuse myself mostly. I have a travel bag for the hospital - adult coloring books and markers, a laptop, tablet, phone and cords/ chargers, mouse, glasses change of clothes, tea bags, a few specific snacks due to allergies/ being diabetic, and my ID cards in the front easy to acess area. Leave everythine else home, except maybe headphones!
@rosebrown6381, You're a dream patient! I love your idea of having a little bag packed so you can grab n'go. I always bring a warm, mid weight blanket for mom. She's 98 yrs old & cold all the time. At home, she keeps the Central Heat set between 78°-81°F 24/7/365. ......and she wonders why her bread spoils quickly.
I've been in the ER and hospitalized many times. I loved my nurses and totality respected them. I've been scared and unable to move but my CNAs helped me. I'd never disrespect nurses and the nursing profession.
Back when I was in the hospital a couple years ago for emergency surgery, my mom brought in a gift for the medical staff on my discharge date.

When I was a kid, I had a play date for chickenpox, and it was no big deal. Just itched a lot, and my mom telling me I can't scratch. Put gloves on my hands at night so I don't scratch during my sleep.
But it was my understanding that Measles is serious crap and that it's not the one that you want to purposely expose yourself to.
Also had someone who works with disease statistics tell me that a high percentage of the people who had chickenpox go really bad were really low in Vitamin D and there were a miniscule amount of people with normal or high levels of Vitamin D that had a bad reaction to chickenpox.
So all you people who go rabid at the idea of anti-vaxxers - don't be piling on me. I'm talking to the people who are not going to vax, no matter what you say.
If you decide to have a chickenpox party, be sure that your kid has normal or better levels of vitamin D before being exposed.
Yes. Chickenpox parties were a thing back in the day, but even chickenpox can be a big deal. As soon as I got back to school after the measles, I contracted chickenpox, so that was pretty bad as well. I had 5 kids down with chickenpox at once, and 1 of them had it pretty bad. I'm cautious about newer vaccines, but still highly recommended baby shots, including the chickenpox one.
@@BlueJadeU Chickenpox can have a suddenly very bad fever as well. And it leads to Shingles when you're older. Best is to avoid contact with the virus at all but barring that, get vaccinated.
No one is going to practice an NG tube on me. I have had them and it's one of the most uncomfotable, unpleasant, vomit inducing invasion. If I don't need it, you ain't doing it. Period.
Not until I'm already asleep, anyway!
I raised my family in a small Kentucky town. We had to go to the ER so often one year that the whole staff would yell out, "oh hi, look it's the $&@%=& family, everytime we came in. It was hilarious!😅
@@DonnaRedmon-p7t " frequent flyers"
My sisters and I grew up on a farm in KS and had a similar summer. One day when we went in (I think for stitches), the sub nurse was giving us, our charts, and my mom some major side eye. My sister was in a cast for a broken arm, I was getting stitches, and I think my other sister had just had stitches out. She was just sure we were being abused, we were just in a clumsy/reckless stage 😂
Thankfully my mom told her to call our doctor, and he explained farm life to the sub 😂
The period pee sample was actually really wholesome🙃... the spych patients be wildin out😅😂... the voice charting is everything though🫠🤣🤣🤣 Steveio cracks me up
I laughed so hard because he is so accurate. You can’t make up this stuff.❤❤❤❤
I fear for the American citizens. But most of all, I fear for the nurses. Please, please, please, don’t give up on humanity! I beg you!
NOT THE SWITCH UP WHEN MAMA WALKS IN
Sadly my sister got the MMR vaccine and she was hospitalized within 24 hours she was a rate case she lost her ability to walk and was deteriorating quickly but my mom still made all of us get it and didn't for my sister her second
So sad.
#brainwashed Mom
These doctors only lie.
👹😈🤡🥼💸💸💸
The mother who said that Vaccines are poisoning our children is correct. Some of the preservatives in these vaccines are very dangerous!! The Flu show is the worst because you are encouraged to get that one every year. The CDC are usually guessing which flu strains will show up and half the time they get it wrong!!
My family have not had a flu shot for the last 15 years. And guess what. We have never had the flu either!!!!
I always had amazing nurses in the ER except one but other that i have always loved the nurses i had especially the ones I had when I was hospitalized as a child
Oh em gee calling the police from the room 🤣🤣🤣
I give these people a lot of credit. I could NEVER do that job. I guess I'm just not a "people person". 😆
Everyone knows you perform CPR to Nelly the Elephant 😂
Just started as a behavioral health tech this week! My coworkers and ancient nurse trainer were a lil concerned when I began singing to hit the cpr rate lol
One time I had a fever caused by an ear infection. I happened to take Tylenol right before my doctor appointment. Despite writing down and bringing the history of my symptoms, temperature, and OTC meds treatments, the doctor shrugged and wrote it off as allergies because I actively didn’t have a fever or inflammation in my ear in the office. Never again.
Isn't the correct song “Staying Alive” by the BGs? I, I, I, I'm staying alive, staying alive...💓
It's a song many people are taught to use, but it's about the beats per minute so many songs can actually be used. 100 to 120 BPM and some of the songs include Eye of the Tiger, Stronger by Britney Spears, Wannabe by Spice Girls, Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stephani, Gettin Jiggy wit It by Will Smith, Highway to Hell by AC/DC, I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor, Thriller by Michael Jackson, and Another One Bites the Dust by Queen.
There are some very fun choices in the list depending on the individual you are or are performing CPR on.
"Another One Bites the Dust, Hey,y,y,y, Oh, Another Bites the Dust. . ."

"Stayin' Alive"
🎉🎉!! BINGO !!🎉🎉👍👍
The frequent flyer is so accurate my sides hurt
Apple juice 😂 Hoedown in the hospital 🤣 the schizophrenia one cracked me up 😅 I swear every schizophrenic I was ever friends with was totally random like this and acted like a hyper 3 year old. They are very easy to get along with. I’m autistic and I get hyper too but I love how schizophrenic people are so chill. They are good people. ❤
When the ER nurse was screaming like bitch when the student pulled the tube out of the lung instead of one from the stomach! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
6:09 Stayin' Alive
I was in the ER during the pandemic. In NM. It was awful.
I was 40 and started having seizures. It was so scary.
I cannot pick a favorite character!
I want a medical dramady show that features all of them!
If anyone asks, the appropriate song is stayin alive. Not joking, the disco song from The Bee Gees. According to my nurse grandmother, nobody cares which song you use as long as it’s not Another one bites The dust.
Ben is me. Austin is the one I love.
I have had a few NG tubes due to pancreatic cancer. I have never been asked to drink while having it put in. I don’t think there’s anything that could make Ng tubes better.
There isn't. They finally got me on a g tube cuz the nasel tube was causing too many problems.
My last cancer the swallowing got screwed up. I can sip a bit of water but more than a couple sips an hour it ends up in my lungs.
But oof! The gtube hurt like being kicked by a mule or shot! I'm 4 weeks in and it still hurts lol.
But I've gained 5lbs by puree food and adding to the shakes.
Hope you're doing great this time. 😊
OMFG!! The kid with a fever skit: I got into massive trouble after chewing out a mom for not giving her child fever reducers for a 104° temp. She wanted to prove her child had a fever when she came to the ER. AND, working peds, a father said the exact same stupid thing about making his son gay by doing a rectal temp. 😳🙄😂😂
Our ER frequent flyer was Rhonda. She had excellent insurance and hypochondria.
😂 Ben is my spirit animal... Ben or Godzilla.
Omg I gotta remember the "Call me a bitch and I'll act like one"
Brilliant
I fell and had the back of my head stapled...owwww😊
My daughter is allergic to the triple vaccine but my government won't provide the single jabs. This is putting her and her future pregnancies at risk.
My CPR instructor says Baby Shark is the right song.
"All good questions."
😂😂😂
'Nellie the Elephant' or 'Staying Alive' will work for CPR.
16:00 "Only since Tuesday, let's do this."
Love your videos.
The best CPR song is Stayin’ Alive, rather than Another One Bites the Dust. Same beat though 😅
Hymen…..hahahaha😂
LMAO 😂😂😂😂
I knew things would change once Mom entered the room 😂
Mamas will do that to people, lol
PullsOutWrongTube: THE SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAM!!!!!!!! 😂 Every ER Member of Staff - save the REKUGRDDUMs in the high-rise offices - Just Sobbed In Agreement!😂
Good answer for the second one! 👏🏻👏🏻🤣
These are great! I love the long ones like this!❤❤❤❤❤
Last time I had to do CPR the song in my head was Drowning Pools Bodies
This makes me not want to go to hospitals for anything lol
Joshua is a real gamer.
I have been a nurse for 25 years. Yes, yes yes. I have experienced every one of these. 😂😂😂
How did you deal with the 13-year old kid who foolishly chose to get drunk?
Lmao... I liked the high functioning alcoholic skit. I was a high functioning alcoholic for many years. Now I am a sober barely functional alien. 😂 I was drinking whiskey to kill constant pain. Now the doc has me on perks and demerol...
I love these videos. I have spent so many years of my life in hospitals. The ER room is hilarious on Friday and Saturday nights after 9pm. 🤡😶
My left ear really liked this video:3
Been there done that
Almost died. Broken l1 l2 amongst other things. The CPR class skit was great.😂
I love steveo he helps me laugh and glad he does this because I learned a lot from him too muther fluffers
Oh my, lol, i can identify with all of this.
I had the measles back in 1967, when the regular measles, and German measles were going around. Is it true whichever one you had you can't get it again, but you can get the other one?
Back in the 60s I had regular measles and the German measles. The chicken pox and mumps were worse. Different jobs have made me get the titer to prove I am immune to the measles.
Me and my 3 sisters had all the kids diseases just before the vaxes were in. I anaged on a multifamily vacation campNG trip ( apparently) to give all 14 kids on vacation chicken pox! I was only 3yrs old! As a grown up RN yes evry new job checks titers for immunity.
How was she sitting so calmly while her nose was violated 😬
She knew what to expect, and kept swallowing iced water.
It makes a big difference!
Thanks for a long video!
We have frequent flyer respite residents in the nursing home ( elderly come and stay for a couple weeks to a month to give family a break) and I can see this for sure, standing there getting report finding out gramma gremlin was just dropped off this morning for a 3 week stay just as you see her coming down the hall in nothing but a diaper that's doubling as a bra, velcro shoes and a big floppy sun hat and you can only think why do I still do this job, I don't get paid enough for this shit and here we freaking go 🤘
Please bring up the er visits from people who do crazy stuff in the er
OMG WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN 😂😂😂😂😂😂
For cpr the instructor from my last class used Another one bites the Dust.
You got burnout but at least, you got paid several times higher than other decent jobs.
Morphine is so yesterday. They want the medicine that begins with D. Also known as Dilaudid.
As an Aussie nurse- what is dilaudid?? We surely share the same meds but clearly we call it something different!
Oh found it! Hydromorph!! Yep. We don't use it too much, even in ED. We use oxycodone. Very similar can be oral or IV, slow or fast acting versions available as well
Stronger then morph but not as strong as Hydromorph. And way less potent than fentanyl! In AU, we use fentanyl VERY sparingly and at much lower doses than the US for fears of creating an addiction cycle. Not to say some don't get addicted! But our rates are far FAR lower than many other countries - at least for that particular drug- simply because you only get it as an In Pt or as a slow release patch for cancer or palliative care needs- also in lower doses ( normally) for confirmed chronic pain or post op pain.
We still have plenty of addiction issues around oxy but it's much harder to get illegally here than other places and so , that has ensured we don't have addiction issues that have overrun hospital systems. We still have way, way too many poorly treated addicted pts- because like everywhere, we lack the services to actually treat the issues and so , all too often we treat and discharge pts right back into the same situation they came from knowing it WILL fail and they will rebound back to ED the very next day.
Every patient I have had calls it dilauda. Why???
@@erinwoolfrey7650
Hydromorphone is the generic name.
@erinwoolfrey7650
It's the same thing as hydromorphone if you are familiar with that name. Other names are Hydromorph Contin, Exalgo, Palladone and Dihydromorphinone.
I haven’t seen this till now, súper LOL!!!

It’s interesting doctors only started telling mothers that measles is dangerous after MMR v was invented. Before then Drs used to tell parents to make sure we got it, and we all did. I got it in the middle of a third world African nation. Drs sent me home to bed, and my dad stayed nurse watch over me while my mum and sister went on a shopping spree.
Before there was a vaccine, the choice was between getting it as a child or hoping you did not get it as an adult, when the symptoms were much more serious.
Now the choice includes getting a vaccine with much lower risk than even that of having measles as a kid.
@@JaniceinOR ah no. The choice was get it as a child which isn’t serious and strengthen your immune system (that’s why mothers sent you to play with kids with measles) given 4 billion years of evolution had created the ultimate inoculación - get sick become immune and get healthy and stronger at the same time. Or get it as an adult which can cause shingle. The MMR v is linked by the CDCs own scientists to serious health issues which if you mention on these unscientific platforms result in censorship. But I am a scientist and I read the CDC scientific work. Unlike you who gets your info from the media.
NO ONE told parents to make sure their child got Measles. That's chickenpox. Measles comes with a VERY high fever that can kill.
Measles can be very dangerous. Some effects are pneumonia, encephalitis, brain damage and death.
Yeeeeeeah I'm not even a nurse and I hear and see the dumbest shit in my E.R 😑
You have got come to Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania either the Kirby center or Mohegan Sun arena
Yep. They got to me, too! Measles, not the government! 😁 The vaccine hadn't come out yet & I was around 3 y/o when I had them. I'm 68 now & I remember as if it were yesterday! The only other time in my life I was that sick was when I had Covid! I was even one of the lucky ones who got the dud Flu shot in 2017, spending Christmas week in the hospital (yep 7 days, the whole week), & I wasn't sick AT ALL compared to when I had those 2! Mama called them "the 31 day measles" & "the red measles". Not sure what the strain might have been. Certainly wasn't German Measles b/c I had to get that vaccine when I got married! Anyway, I remember Mama kept the drapes shut b/c the light hurt my eyes so much. If I moved my head, I'd vomit. If I lay still, I still vomited! I was so sick, I don't remember the rash! Mama also had them when she was young & had a crossed eye the rest of her life! I wonder if my vision problems are from my measles? Hmmm 🤔 They, & mumps & chicken pox are why I'm a Pro-Vaxxer! My kids had chicken pox before the vaccine came out, but they didn't have to go through what I did w/ measles & mumps! I can't understand why anyone would want their child to suffer as I did! I don't wish them on ANYONE!! And people used to bring their kids to get chicken pox, but I've never heard of that for measles!! And NO! I didn't do that w/ mine! I reckon they caught chicken pox from school!!
You are coming to AZ? No way! I used to work in an ER here, so I can relate to these.
What movie/show was played at the very end (about being an "elite employee")?
18:00 NO. Under US HIPAA laws you cannot tell the police of a patient being in a room. You CAN go to the room to ask if the patient wants to meet with the police.
Had no odea this comedian is from Ontario Canada! I wondder if hes single?
Nope has a gf
Does he know you're using these?
You're so funny.
My nose is super sensitive on the inside. I would not allow anyone to put a tube down my nose while I am awake. I can't even stand it when my ENT looks up there with the scope.
I missed you. I am glad your back.
XD As a frequent flyer at hospitals, I ALWAYS silence the pumps until a nurse can come in (when they get time). I just keep pushing the button to silence it until the main nursing staff can get there - the local hospitals have them code locked so only floor nurses for the shift can actually shut them off - even the aids can't silence as well as I can usually. The nurses laugh and know I give them the extra time to deal with the 'problem' patients and whatever craziness is going on. I rarely call for assistance unless I need pain meds (and I usually wait until someone comes in to ask) the pump is beeping and I'm just telling them it finished or there is a problem, or I have to go to the bathroom (I'm a major fall risk/ supposed to be in a wheelchair, so have to have assistance every time. They don't put the bed alarm on because I move around in the bed a lot and it sets it off constantly and the nurses know and trust me, after many, many visits). I MAYBE call twice or three times a day, tops. Usually less - and that's for a full 24 hours. I just wait until people come in or I just amuse myself mostly. I have a travel bag for the hospital - adult coloring books and markers, a laptop, tablet, phone and cords/ chargers, mouse, glasses change of clothes, tea bags, a few specific snacks due to allergies/ being diabetic, and my ID cards in the front easy to acess area. Leave everythine else home, except maybe headphones!
