Loading ...‘There is a real cost’: As Covid shows, barring bedside visitors from ICU deprives patients of the best care
“A growing body of evidence supports the theory that bedside visitors offer not only comfort, but true clinical value. As experts on their loved ones, they can provide important details that may be missing from health records, and can clock subtle changes in behavior that may precede adverse medical complications. Visitors can calm agitated patients with a touch of the hand and reassure them with a word. They fluff pillows, fetch ice, clip fingernails, brush hair, and bring in favorite foods that might convince someone to eat for the first time in a long time.”
Shaking my head. This has been known for hundreds of years. The complete and utter ignorance, not just of the medical “establishment,” but of people in general boggles my mind. The only thing I can figure is that people are intentionally dumbed down. They cannot be this ignorant and stupid by themselves. I refuse to believe that.
On the other hand, we talked with a gal from Maine at the pool today. She thought everyone in Canada speaks French. Had no idea where Toronto is. From MAINE!!
No different, I suppose, than the ignorance about history: communism/socialism has never worked, printing press money has never worked. However, I am beginning to believe that printing press money does work. Those decades of my life believing in and understanding (so I thought) that gold and silver are the only real money, and one day the paper crap would fail, are rapidly fading.
So then I ask myself, who is the real dummy here? As I look in the mirror…
Don’t loose faith in PMs, Boom.
It’s not just that our society is uneducated, they are now in the process of maleducation, If you could call it that. That is to say, they are teaching people untruths. I guess it makes our heads spin a little. I say we hue to the tried and true. Hopefully, that will get us through.
I think you touched on a point that is often missed. Much of what we are being told or taught is turning out to be completely false. This makes it very difficult to sort our truth from fiction and places a heavy premium on sources of honest data. Your description “maleducation” is excellent.
The “tried and true…”
Well, that would eliminate gold and silver, for sure. Other than two short blips on long term charts, investing in the tried and true has been overwhelmingly disastrous, counterproductive, and wealth destroying.
On the other hand, in the long run we are all dead.
Twenty years ago the gold price was two hundred and fifty bucks. Some investments, no doubt, have done better. Would you throw long term money at the stock market right now or PM’s?
