Lorenzo, thank you for refreshing my memory with those info you
narrated, yes, I learned those way back in my schooldays.
I just share what I learned and anybody can check it out through
the internet check Dr. Mercola, he is one of the very few
compassionate medical person known , and more
from other sources that I know of.
Here's more that I would like to share to all;
Mrs Desiree Jennings, 25 years old of Reston, Virginia believed all the hype.
She dutifully got a flu shot to earn healthy living points for her
work health plan. She was in great health- until a few days
after getting her safe and effective shot when she came down
with flu-like symptoms; fever, vomiting, weakness in her legs
and body aches. She got the shot on August 23.
After Labor Day, she was even more fatigued.
She passed out at work and again at home
Her husband took her to the emergency care as she went
into convulsions.
She was transferred to a hospital in Loudoun County, Virginia
where she spent 3 days.
She was transferred to Fairfax Hospital, then to John Hopkins
in Baltimore to see specialists.
She was seen by 60 medical experts, including her
primary care physician, physical therapists, speech therapists
neurologists, psychiatrists and a bevy of nurses.
Desiree can whisper softly but not talk loudly.
She used to run 3K, but now can't walk five feet formally.
She can move sideways and backwards but not forwards.
Her Physical Therapist in John Hopkins diagnosed her
problem as dystonia.
Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder where sustained muscle
contractions cause body jerks and abnormal or
repetitive movements.
To add to the family's misery, Desiree had a
seizure trying to navigate the stairs in her home, she slipped.
Her husband Brendan leaped to catch her and broke his foot.
Wiser now, Desiree and most of her doctors say,
"Don't get the flu shot if you're healthy" and not at risk.
Karon Lunes, and I just finished my long week-end shift,
sad to say pero usa sa akong patients kay
after having the flu shot didto sa iyang doctor's office
matud sa family niya kay after over a week, she suddenly
became mentally altered, nakalitan ang bana grabe ka yabag
motig-ik usahay abi nako dunay iring sa iyang room.
All the neuro tests that the doctors can think of gibuhat na
but no answer to the family of what is going on.
Wala gyud ko mocomments sa pamilya what I know, I am
defending my job as I said I love to give needles
that's my favorite part of being a nurse.
Flu shots, yes, anyone who wants it just say the word
I will administer it but absolutely not to me
Hmnnnn interesting
It is a pleasure to exchange ideas, and information with you here. I take highly into consideration your point of view and your veteran experience as an R.N. In fact, I had a conversation with my own mother about Swine Flu while she was here last week visiting me, and my own mom who is a a veteran ICU Nurse for over 25 years agrees with me. She is hesitant on live vaccines, but accepting regarding attenuated vaccinations.
As physicians, we are encouraged and trained not just to educate our patients about different forms of vaccination programs, but are also encouraged to be injected with all vaccinations for hospital exposure sakes.
Thank you for your post, I read it and take it into serious light. Again, always good and enlightening to read the words of our skilled nurses.
A. Lorenzo
