this doesn't make me feel any better. it's not the drug itself. it's those side effects :(.

dry mouth and diarrhea are the most hated conditions.

That sucks. But at least it's not like, the rest of history, when you'd almost surely die a terrible drawn out death.

Fortunately it's curable and not transmissible at this stage so that's something.

I had to take prophylactic Tamiflu because the SNF at my hospital had an outbreak and I had patient contact there shortly before the outbreak began.

I thought it was pointless since I was already vaccinated.

That's what fetishes are about, though. Getting off on being nasty.

Though I was getting at her pissing on eggs to see if she can color them.

Nobody had even put TB on the differential diagnosis list. She had been misdiagnosed as having chronic pneumonia secondary to COPD, which was total BS to me. Sadly I was right.

Are you a doctor or a nurse? Nobody listens to the nurses even though they're the most hands on and familiar with the patients.

You've got to be an incredible prude to think watersports is disgusting.

Doctor.

And nurses have huuuuuuuuuuge variability in actual medical knowledge. Some can be better at medicine than most doctors, while others are only slightly better than Naturopaths.

TB is annoying

I had to get the skin test done last year for my school so i do it and i get a positive read

Okay so then i need to get a chest x-ray done and a blood test as well

I do all that and they find nothibg

Now this year i had to renew my TB testing and when i went there my doctor told me since i already tested positive on the skin test once i never have to do it again so they just write down my last year's xray and blood test

But then Castlebranch denies it and tells me the documents have to be no older than a year ugh i hate this

Quantiferon is a screening test and does not diagnose active TB. Should still be doing AFB smears, NAA, mycobacterial cultures, the works before you start treatment for latent TB on yourself. your hospital infection control should know this. I assume youve already done the same for your patient
