Tell her I was an LPN! If you ever want to learn what really happens in medicine, become a nurse. There are a lot of nurses who go through the motions, having too many patients and making a lot of mistakes. The doctors are a trip, and on a trip. Stress is a factor, I'm sure, but many doctors and nurses are addicted. I worked as a medical transcriptionist before that and didn't see it. In nursing school, I was the brightest one--I was puzzled because many of the students had just graduated from high school and I had been out for some time. Then I remembered back to my high school class - it was not the brightest ones that went into nursing, nor the next brightest. Nursing is not that hard, you basically do the same thing over and over. I apologize to all the nurses--no offense; it's a hard job, but the "want to help people" that is the driving force to go into nursing gets lost and there is high burnout.

Do you know that people who take no medications at all live just as long as those who take a lot of medications?

I cried when I went on medication. But it served a purpose for me, and helped me prevent even worse side effects. But nothing has done what Iodine and salt have done for me.

We are all scared of what we do not know. Don't have expectations; let it be her decision. Tweet
