new social group for nurses and all disciples of medicine

[Annie Maude]

On every single hospital admission we are required to ask patients if and when they had the flu and pnuemonia vaccine, and flag their chart if they are eligible for it. Our units get audited for compliance in giving the vaccines before discharge. No physician order or permission required. It's really stupid to be admitting someone to ICU with say a massive stroke, and we can't get past the computer screen on vaccine compliance. So we usually just lie and say the patient has already had it. Would you want someone asking you something like that when you or your loved one is in crisis. Morons.

I agree completely.....Its like the same idiots that design parking lots are the same ones that come up with these rules......one size fits all template.

TRULY amazing, and unbelievable stupid.

Because even rabid vaccine proponents generally recognize that vaccinating someone who isn't in good health- especially if they have any sort of infection brewing or other potential immune system issues- is NOT good for them, is potentially risky, and is highly unlikely to provide the immune response they are hoping for anyway!

It stuns me when I realize our veterinarian is better educated on vaccine safety and protocol than most human doctors...

I forgot to mention, when I was taken to the hospital with my broken back, they found that I had a bladder or kidney infection AND pneumonia.

After reading what Summer has to say, it scares me to death to think I might have ok'd the shot that the CDC woman wanted. Badger me she tried but it didn't work. I do not like Vaccines that are given in this day and age. Thank you Summer.
