A small point, as a supporter of the hyphen (fading, like most punctuation, from British usage): “a qualified expert opinion” sounds like an expert opinion with caveats (qualifications) about the expertise. Not so good!

Unambiguous would be “a qualified-expert opinion”.

As I learn , to learn , then to understand I continue to be in awe of God given internal titration mechanisms.

This appears to absorb the effects of…shock .

Shock seems to create a bubble where time stands still.

These lived experience ‘ time bubbles ‘ infuse into the psyche and when conditions are favourable, will/can illuminate what might otherwise be an unbearable reality.

This dumbing down has been going on for a long time now based on what my grandfather used to say.

“Common sense isn’t common “

He would also tell us that critical thinking is one of the most important skills we can learn because sometimes people get it wrong and most of the time they just lie to you !!

When the self employed ICU docs realized they were harming patients, they stopped. The hospital big wigs , got rid of them and hired employed physicians who followed protocols and the hospital got big bucks from the government for destruction and death . 🤬

Exactly this. The volumes of patients mean very rapidly, perhaps on Day 1, the medics attending to “patients” (in inverted commas because I’m far from sure most of them were even ill and absolutely certain few to none of them should have been sedated, intubated and mechanically ventilated) were not specialists in a field that absolutely requires them.

It’s truly awful, contemplating the kinds of ignorant killings that went on.

I did meet in Florida a very experienced Physician’s Assistant more or less ran the ER & admissions for a large, private hospital there. He walked out after several stand up rows with senior medics who insisted he “follow covid protocols”, but he refused, citing the death rate of patients thus admitted & wrongly treated.

A good man. I bumped into him when he was running a small, private walk-in clinic and possibly saved my life by his accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

Glad you met him in Florida, in other states the authorities came after your license in a private practice if you gave IV Vitamin C .
