We are validating the immunexpress septicyte rapid. It is a very long validation. I don’t think we will be live for a year. It’s very easy to run. Basically, the patient comes to the ER and have two of the following…hypothermic, hyperthermic, low white count, high white count, 4 other markers I cannot recall, we run the septicyte test on same tube the white count was run on. I met Dr. Davis yesterday. He didn’t mention his mom died of sepsis. Nice guy.

Nursing Excluded as ‘Professional’ Degree By Department of Education | Nurse.Org Nursing Excluded as 'Professional' Degree By Department of Education | Nurse.Org

Physician assistant and nurse practitioner are also excluded. It could have interesting ramifications for the lab. Currently, the lab is required to communicate critical values to a healthcare professional. This is a requirement from the College of American Pathologists. It is not up to the labs. So, if you have a critically low or high glucose level, the lab has to communicate that to a nurse, NP, PA or MD. They cannot call a secretary and give them the result. The result needs to go directly to someone that can provide care. I believe the defined term is a Healthcare professional. If the nurse can no longer take a critical value, that will be interesting.

So are teachers, engineers, journalists, accountants, architects, pilots and programmers. The program is almost completely geared toward Babylon.

I assume I’m excluded as well. I think a lot of people don’t know we exist. I doubt Trump does.

Considering how many professions have been excluded, the entire program needs to be scrapped and a new program built that sees and acknowledges all professionals and not just those in the medical industry.

Most in healthcare are now excluded. It’s really just MDs left.

Don’t forget the lawyers, present day congressmen.

Glad I quit almost 4 years ago. Was in a bar Deez Pub for WS game 7. Only one person under 30 lasted the whole game. There is a magazine that reports beer sales Beer Quarterly I think it is. Similar things must exist for hard liquor and wine? Some ppl lie about their consumption of alcohol.

Oh yes. I meant in medical.

Someone has a warped sense of humor.

Do you think reiki is a crock of shit? I do.

I don’t know enough about chiropractic care, other than it seems dangerous.

I think acupuncture is affective. Scientifically, it makes sense to me.

Definitely.

I don’t think it’s total nonsense, but the chiros pretending to cure cancer and so on are stupid. Mostly it’s a good massage. Cracking my knuckles feels good. Cracking my back does, too.

It is not supported by robust evidence. Most scientific studies have found it to be roughly equal to placebos.
