50 Things That Are Obvious To People In Certain Professions, But The General Public Often Fails To Grasp

Yes! This is a true problem. My husband is a doctor (a public servant, not working for a private company) and he also treats people in old peoples homes. Sometimes he has problems with patients relatives when he talks to them about getting a DNR for their patient who f.ex has advanced Alzheimers and 20 other medical conditions. The relatives that give him trouble are usually people who don’t visit the patient often, live far away etc, so they don’t really know the patient anymore, are estranged to a degree etc. and really don’t know the fragile, almost critical condition the patient is in. My husband says he feels like a grim reaper when he says that ”just let them die peacefully at their old peoples home where they live, they have said many times that they just want to move on” and the relatives insist that the terminally ill patient has to go through weeks of suffering in a hospital where they are disoriented, uncomfortable and just to lenghten their life for a few painful weeks.

That sort of sense ain't so common anymore.

Common Sense......Isn't

Unfortunately it's not so common. My relatives are antivaxers and conspiracy theorists😭

My mother, was a nurse who now teaches nursing, has exactly zero common sense. It is baffling sometimes.

Exactly. Their opinions are not equal to facts.

Why would a nurse take so much offense at ONE vaccine? Vaccines, period?

Oh my sweet Astrius… can’t wait to see the trolls come out for this. Le sigh. 🫤

Which excludes a huge chunk of people. Like.......90-95-ish% 😂

Common sense is, sadly, not all that common

Isn't a vaccine supposed to prevent you from getting an ailment? Not just make it not so bad and Probably would have been worse? Like a mild case of tuberculosis or polio. After the fourth or fifth vaccination of course. Seriously? WTF

Exactly. I notice he left out how they help protect other people, too.

There is no cure for stupidity

Do they really? People say, "Oh, I have the flu," but they don't. The real flu is orders of magnitude worse than "the flu" .

Sadly, yes, though it is a small percentage. They aren't immunologists or virologists, so they aren't experts in this field of course, and a lot of nurses won't be treating those who get these diseases so don't see the results first hand (trying to understand). However, most DO know how vaccines work and do get them. That's not to diss nurses in any way. Most are amazing and the ones I know are absolutely behind vaccines.

They can see, but they don't care, which is even worse.

Because we keep giving them stacks of money although we know what their c**p is doing to the environment, because hey, let someone else make the sacrifice!

Good news! We can ALL do something about it. In the US, food waste is responsible for more emissions than commercial aviation (yes, I know that doesn't seem possible, but it's true - link below). Around 25% - 30% of the necessary reduction in carbon comes from private households - and the top two changes we can make are 1. Eat less red meat, and 2. Throw away less food. YES big corporations need to change and we should push them to, but in the meantime, 25% - 30% is not nothing and every one of us can take action.

Case in point

YOU are my favorite kind of human!

Well, it IS a good picture.

Nothing wrong with that.

Beautiful beautiful girl

me too!!

Yep, it is ongoing. You never stop. I have a very messed up rescue and it's taken me years to get to the point where he can be walked normally around the village, some need slow steps. He was that damaged. We also got attacked by dogs on two separate incidences which prolonged things. So don't give up on them either, they will get there but they can be traumatised too. Training shows on TV can make it look simpler than it really is (most shows pick the ones where they know it's the humans who are messing up - makes better TV).
