Known Crimes
Typically nurses come b/w the physician and the patient and our ability to decipher if treatment is effective or not can often be too clear; and many times we just don’t know. When we put our experience to use we can find some of the most horrible cases of abuse which is a major problem for honesty. I know many nurses don’t move toward known crimes against pts., but I did and against all odds. Practicing physicians have a protective war chest of lawyers and judges whom get paid to protect them.
My crimes against them were to use social media to tell the story of how a surgeon of gross incompetence was able to continue to destroy lives after known wrongful deaths cases were won against him.
My violation of law revolved around continued writing on social media after court order to stop. The truth is and only the truth, I never left the keyboard to commit my crimes. Most physicians are dedicated to follow their best intentions, but their world can destroy their own honesty. It is where the fallen don’t hit the ground but are allowed to continue to generate $$ and destroy lives. Some physicians fall to alcohol and drugs which is far from rare.. Careers and lives are lost. I’m a nurse, not a Saint. And a veteran. Death I’m trained for, oddly karma got there before I could do more crimes. It really did. The answer to this prompt of unintentionally committed crimes was I actually thought telling the truth was legal. It is not.
The Greatest Generation
It is unlikely that I fully grasped what my parents indured to get to that point of living as long and healthy as I am today. They never made it as me and perhaps b/c of their overuse of their bodies to survive and to carry-on as the greatest generation did [WW2] Generation.. Having nursed many of these types, and much younger generations I can say they were wicked tough. If they couldn’t live as they always were they simply refused to live and asked me to help them take their own lives.
Tyranny
Daily writing prompt
If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why?
The act in being arrested for what somebody claims and only what they claim rides people’s backside to knowledge of misguided power to be powerful. I can not say the changing of laws in existence is my answer to this question. My note would be for the legal system to somehow follow the laws in place already. I know 10 nurses in Arizona who lost their ability to practice clinically b/c existing laws were abandoned that would’ve absolved or protected them. TIA This is Arizona. If I know 10 how many others are there??
The Deep Dive/My Invention
In my youth I had passion for scuba diving and was also a teen alcohol drinker of note. I had learned of ‘rapture of the deep’ through research and televisions’ shows. Just about everything I read lead the deep diver, breathing atmospheric air at depths below 100ft into mental confusion and serious malfunctioning physical limitations
q. I had to try it and went to Provincetown, Mass. for easy depth access close to shore. At about 100ft I became very, very mellow and comfortable. I was not confused and had no physical limitations. Just like a couple alcohol drinks. At 120ft there was no change. By the time I broke the surface the wonderful feeling was gone. Enter Colt45 to the mix. Perhaps by accident I had 1 Colt45 16oz shortly before one of hj àthese similar dives. There were no changes at depth and in the world of substance abuse this turned out to be the holy grail of highs…when I broke the surface the euphoria held for several hrs and I never had a hangover. By progression of diseases I eventually fell prey but this is my invention of the best drink ever.

Stage Fright
What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?
For long years I was not able to speak to public w/significant amount of people in the audience. One mentor taught me that fear of exposure of who I am maybe the source of this fear. The training involved ‘to thy own self be true’. This was a deep dive into failures and accepting it was my involvement w/not doing my best. Further training needed was many social events and mixing myself for exchanges. Finally, speaking up at meetings as much as possible desensitized my fears, but not overnight. It was such a great relaxing feeling to have fear control.
Inform Arizona Citizens
The Last Hit. Y.A. Title 1963 In his last 3 years in N.Y. he never was able to deliver a championship but the franchise considers his years as their ‘Glory Years’ b/c he delivered Heart.
Few public members know that the death of young Johnny’s kidneys would arise from overdoses of too much of the wrong antibiotics? Using SM information for this has power beyond the authorities whose mission, like the AZBN, is to ‘protect the public’. Not going to happen. Arizona health care access and efficacy is at the bottom of the rated lists. The medical bd only exists for proxy cash payments and after a number of drinks of alcohol b/w friends you learn to leave the state for treatment.
Defining Quackery..Let Them Die..Don’t Do Good In Bad Town
Once upon a time I was a dedicated nurse and worked in a small hospital in Bullhead City, AZ.; a bedroom community of Casino rich Laughlin, Nv. I learned that physicians are not all created by the gods many people think they are. I worked in surgery and easily confirm good surgeries or not, and diligence of evaluations is success or not. A close associate had spinal surgery there where instrumentations of steel were driven through her esophagus and she was discharged with a large hole in her internal feeding tube then told by Isaac M. Thapedi M.D. it’s OK to drink fluids. This action went to where she never recovered. This was not Isaac’s first stupid move. I had much evidence of sheer quackery which ran through his Alzheimer’s diseased mind and spread the news far and wide bySM; The hospital was the largest employer in the city as well as ancillary consultants forever. The money this physician generated was huge and being a surgeon whose mind is diseased and damaging pts. should be horrible for business. Should be.That’s where I should of done my social attacks differently as money and power are way more important than the truth. It was 37 court appearances in local districts w/atty gen/az, municipal cases both criminal and civil and adminstrative; w/civil attys. All liars. I got destroyed by doing good in bad towns….whoever said “Honesty is the best policy”, is wrong. I would’ve been impeccable in my word, and let them kill w/malice.
Counseling Addicts
The concept of guiding a desperate, chemically addicted person/ either alcohol or narcotics to mental and physical safety presents difficulties of patience b/c often they’re spiritually ignorant. The addicted need the assistance of more than a desire to stop. Accepting higher powers for influence is critical for success and to find serenity.
Sponsorship From a Retired Stunt Actor
Most mental boot camp programs like alcohol anonymous have well healed and experienced counselors like the one whom taught me my mind and how and why to turn my will over to another power to create a view safe for me. The ‘Four Agreements’ opened up a different understanding of learning which the former ‘General Lee’ stunt driver used to force me by desire to open the mind. And, of course, alcohol free.
The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz, M.D. is used by counselors to assist those coming psychologically awake after bouts of alcoholism and addictions. A new outlook on life emerges.
