Chemotherapy - An Unnecessary Suffering
-
The above is a screenshot of a letter titled "Where's the spirit of care?" sent by an Adeline Ang to the Today Newspaper :
http://www.todayonline.com/pdflive/0812VOL032.pdf
I've often wondered if the most effective and productive way to help with (absolutely) unnecessary suffering amongst cancer victims... or to be more accurate - chemotherapy victims; would be to hand out copies of Aajonus Vonderplanitz's "We Want To Live" (together with other essentials such as Byron Katie's Work and the Hilarion material) to every household.
Of course, this cannot be done. Nonetheless, Education remains the key. If people can be educated on the true nature, purpose and solution regarding cancer (on all levels - nutritional, biochemical, psychospiritual and karmic; and on Rife healing technology), and on the *wrongness* of chemotherapy (including the economic-political corruption of the pharmaceutical industry), then Humanity may see a much better tomorrow for our brothers, sisters and children to live in.
Keep up your efforts (of assistantiality, of caring, of sharing) and never give up on them - someone somewhere someday shall benefit from them. -
Nurses are overworked and underpaid . Plus the author of the letter only stopped by and seen something for a few minutes to write a long paper on her own opinion on how a doctor is so great compared to nurses . Ever seen a doctor curt before? Alot of times .
At least the nurse said she will get the doctor. It's not like throwing her aside and leaving the girl to die. -
she based her belief on this one case or using dat as example?
-
She is giving her opinion based on what she saw - just one girl asking for medication and the nurse being LOUD to her. Read her letter - it is purely subjectiveOriginally posted by Ito_^:she based her belief on this one case or using dat as example? -
the nurse should be like more caring and things like that what. Thats what nurses are fo right? Thats why i say Sg no good customer service =(

Nurses are paid to make sure your condition is not deteriorating , not to mother you. I been in nursing and I have seen the other end where patients are obnoxious and treats us like servants.Originally posted by littlefishtan!:the nurse should be like more caring and things like that what.

Patience also run out in a nurse especially when one is underpaid and overworked - I remembered because there were not enough nurses on the night shift that they refused to take over from me because they said the doctor signed the order for a procedure at 9.20 pm (while I was finishing hand over to go home) and I had to do it. So I had to stay up to 1 am to finish up . And I don't even get overtime pay in Singapore for it but a good scolding on time management even my patient tried to say it is unfair that I have to stay back and do the work.
Some nurses do their best to be nice , and some are nasty...some just do nursing to migrate , some are just very blunt or loud. What do you expect? Some soft spoken nurse on TV asking if you like some tea?
Get a life people - nursing is a job and because nursing has this silly image of being the caring profession - it seems like some think it is easy to treat nurses like they are maids. Met patients who can walk and like to complain that we don't fetch them their water when it is easily within reach on the bedside table.
Oh yeah u would like nurses to sit down and talk to you and be caring , right? Sure ...after we finish tons of work - paperwork, appointment making, running after doctors, giving medications, changing other patients, feeding the patient, checking the drips, recording down on more paperwork .
I met nurses who sit down and talk to patients reassuring them and then take over to find out they could not give medications on time and left other patients in a HUGE mess because "of the poor patient who is crying" . Want holistic care? Sure after the nurse has completed her legal obligations to your care . You don't want an incompetent idiot to sit down and ignore the rest of the world and other patients who need more medical attention JUST because you want someone to sayang you poor thing.
This author pisses me off. -

Got some more to say but I did not.
Anyways I am out of nursing . Got enough of it and enough of abusive patients.
In Australia anyways , so it is ok ...easy to switch around . Money there is good for nursing but even the aussie nurses are leaving because of the situation which is half of the worse situation in Singapore.
