My doctor is w/ Martha Jefferson also and I love him. Dr. Cole has a wonderful demeanor and really cares about his patients. I think Schmitz and Cole are partners at Afton Family Med… but not sure. Thanks for the encouragement.

I was a little uncomfortable w/speaking w/Dr. Bill in this type setting; I am not into negative or aggressive behavior… but I was just shocked at his reply. I have been home for the last two years waiting to have my second open heart surgery and trying to get through school and to keep calm but I guess he just pushed the wrong buttons… glad it was entertaining for some… LOL Take care –

Again thanks for the support.

Warmest regards,

Malin

Best wishes to you, seriously,

Thanks,

Your original post demonstrated such ignorance that it required a firm response.

Silly (and irrelevant to nursing) project if even true. I am a physician and lament the state of education in health care these days. The alleged project is perfect evidence! Online course, Oh My God!
Tell your professor he/she should try to have you all learn how to be good providers of nursing. Goodness knows there is plenty to learn without this kind of psychobabble. Sorry your education seems to be wanting and good luck in the real world! Maybe let me know where you will be working in the future for my protection.

As a nursing student I have had enough microbiology and biology to choke on… this post is actually part of my NAS185 online course I am taking.

The misnomer that was inserted in my original post is part of my project. Our professor states that people are MORE likely interested in educating people who misquote this latest outbreak than educate them. I on the other hand felt that people are more likely to not educate and would rather “dis” a person. You flunked… or passed… depending on whose outlook you use…

It will be interesting to see what my other local posts get for a response.

Thanks,

A lot is being done to prepare:
Around the world, governments are taking steps for:
• Prevention – like quickly dealing with infected poultry.
• Minimizing effects – like planning ways to ensure essential services continue in a pandemic.
• Treatment – like encouraging the production of flu medications.

The prevention part should not be about quickly dealing w/infected animals. It has to do w/controlling the outbreaks in the first place. These animals are the same as humans where they are overusing antibiotics to kill these strains and these “super bugs” are the ones affecting the livestock. That is where some of the research and money needs to go… It should be a no brainer; stop it before it can happen. Period! Come on people.
