\u201cA patient who is denied validation for their medical injury is betrayed by the medical system they have learned to trust as an official authority. It is a shocking experience to realize that everyone one has thought about trusting this authority is suddenly wrong.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was perhaps foolish of me to think that my incidents with the health care system in Alberta were isolated.\u00a0 After reading about it further. I find out that patient abuse and what they call medical mistakes that kill people are an epidemic or is that a pandemic. Or is it just criminal?<\/p>\n

Medical mistakes or better-called fuck ups by doctors they say are the third leading cause of death in the USA.<\/p>\n

The worse part was those deaths were preventable. I read some 440000 people died needlessly in the last year and the numbers are increasing.<\/p>\n

Patients tortured by nurses run rampant. It takes two years to investigate these incidents. If I was to purposely give someone an overdose or try some things that were done to me in the hospital my ass would be in jail the next day.<\/p>\n

Apparently these nurses just move to a new location and keep doing what they do. I also read that these incidents can cause PTSD in some people. I will have to look that up now.<\/p>\n

They do what they do because there is no prosecution for what they do.<\/p>\n

There is no recourse for bad doctors or nurses. Especially the malicious ones. And I have met my share and then some of those.<\/p>\n

More qualified people than I have written about them. Even Gov Arnie is trying to change the laws to try to stop them.<\/p>\n

For now, they get away it.<\/p>\n

“The medical community in the United States of America has been loathe to address the issues of iatrogenic harm in the medical profession, citing the danger of deterring patients from seeking needed medical care. Like all issues, though, this one is not binary, or right or wrong in a simple sense. It is an issue that is nuanced and complex, like most serious health issues. By treating this issue as if it is a forbidden topic, we have encouraged an unspoken and ignored systemic risk that is unacceptable in standard medicine, and an attitude that is almost religious in its scope, that allows good medical doctors to accept increasingly dangerous practices in standard healthcare without a full and conscious regard for risk versus benefit.” <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

On a lighter note<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yesterday’s snowstorm has arrived today. I did the stupid thing that I do, I emptied the wheelbarrow, now it needs filling.<\/p>\n

Huh, nothing but two hundred pound logs out there and only three, through three inches of snow, and short of breath.<\/p>\n

Lifting them will be a challenge and then trying to split them even more, and oh yea did I mention the polar vortex is here. -27 in the day without windchill. My bare hand starting freezing in ten seconds while I took these pictures.<\/p>\n

There is a windchill warning in effect right now and for the next week. Temps are closer to -40. Yup this will be fun.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow even colder.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My inner jacket has a big rip in the sleeve, so I tried a Gorilla tape repair. I wonder how it will stand up in these temps. If that works I will try to repair the outer jacket. The outer jacket is needed for colder than 40 below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Either way after coffee I am going out there. I need to bring in the gen to warm up before firing it up so this outing will be just to try to get wood inside. There is no guarantee that my electric splitter will even run at these temps. If it doesn’t I will have to split the honking big logs by hand. What a fun day it will be.<\/p>\n

I know my cold winter gloves are close to my Bluetooth headphones, you know the ones I lost three months ago.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Okay, so I may have brain damage. The only reason I could think of to push 600 pounds of wood through deep snow. In -40 windchill weather.\u00a0 The really fun part was the sliver in my foot. I had to remove it out there. No choice, it was in the bottom of my foot.\u00a0 Survived that but was doing the slow old man walk back inside.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I made it just before dark the wood is inside. Did you know 600 pound split weighs the same as not split? Huh, I am still alive and its time for coffee. Rod out.<\/p>\n
