Morning OFC. Looks like a wet spring this year. Storms moving through every day now. Mountains are getting pounded. We need it bad! Last year tens of thousands of acres burned because of a major drought in the area. Colorado and Cali's forests are burning up in the summer. Gotten so bad firefighters can't stop them.

Paid a visit to my doc yesterday. I have been getting severe head pains. He instantly wrote me a referral to see a specialist. Sure seems like primary care doctors are nothing more than routing specialists.


@GW, I haven't used a bong in years. Never my cup of tea. Water bongs taste like toilet to me and I have always liked my one hitter better. Tastes much better to me.

Busy day in the grow and a walk will pretty much take up most of my day.

my mom had 13 kids and we are down to the last three

hug the ones you love today while you have the chance

 

[Rudedude]

I'm sorry for your loss bro.

 

[pute]

@ Big. Sorry bro. I know how it feels. I am the only one in my family left. I watched each one pass including my younger brother 3 years ago. Kind of a lonely feeling if you think about it.

Be well my friend. We are all here to support you.

Well, who would have guessed. We just had a mass shooting in in Boulder Colorado by a man of Muslim dissent. Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa. The weapon used was and AR15 which is an assault rifle. Sure enough there is now plans by our lawmakers to ban all Assault Rifles. Americans did not do this so why is our 2nd amendment being being threatened because of something a Non American Did.

Shouldn't we be looking to protect the American public by protecting our border and immigration laws. Guess not. This is getting ridiculous. Other countries are laughing as us. We are loosing our grip on reality to who ever is taking the country down the road to ruination.

We may have passed the point of no return and I wonder what the future of the True American holds. Think I will get drunk.

"Sure seems like primary care doctors are nothing more than routing specialists."

You are spot on. Has to be that way. If you think of it, a doctor in an office is terribly limited as to equipment, time, and ability to do actual patient care.

Blood draws tell your doctor a lot. Coupled with other things easily and safely done (oxy reading finger thingy, weight, stethoscope check of lungs and heart, blood pressure) your doctor can make sound calls as to what treatment is needed, if any.

And since he has scheduled patients for every minute he is in office, he cannot very well stop and set that bone right there (after putting the patient under without a gas-passer there to do it), or get out his surgical equipment to remove an infected appendix.

So he does the most efficient and best thing for the patient: Sends them to specialists who do x, y, or z every day. Makes sense when ya thinks onnit.

@ Walt, didn't used to be that way. My doctor was a Doctor once upon a time. Actually knew and told you what your problem was and many times would solve the problem in one way or another. Won't even write a prescription these days. Afraid of his own shadow I guess.

Just noted this:

I can tell you that it is not over. It ain't political (I hope) -- just status -- the EO put in effect when some guy got in gives the United States military the authority to act in the case of foreign interference in the US election. <-- That is what the EO says. It is current LAW.

And it does this:


The EO OVERRIDES THE SCOTUS, OVERRIDES CONGRESS, OVERRIDES THE CURRENT PRESIDENCY. And the previous guy is out of the picture now.

The EO is in effect -- meaning: it is in POWER until May 23. The world is at stake.

The final act has yet to come.

Yes, that is true. And the lawyers came in and found green pastures that they soon filled with manure.

The reasons I laid out above are to protect the patients and the doctors. ALL doctors nowadays (if they have hospital privileges) are salaried employees.

A doctor without hospital privileges puts his pecker in the pickle grinder every time he makes the mistake of doing what you call "Doctor" with a capital "D". Since he does NOT have access to $10MM worth of equipment, and since he is a generalist and NOT a specialist, his operating skills, etc. will NOT be the best for either the patient or the doctor.

You don't want heart surgery in a doctor's office. You don't want to have to help pay for your doctor's two million dollar CT scan machine installed in his office next to his five million dollar top-grade operating theater, next to his... you get the idea.

So hospitals require specialists as well as generalists. My son is a Board Certified Internist. <-- That means he is the old-fashioned kind of doctor... but he has no practice.

He has to be double-damn-good at a LOT of things... because he is the very first physician every person coming through the hospital entrance sees. Whether they have been in a motorcycle wreck, or they have a strange fungus all over them, or some weird rash (that may be poison ivy, or may be an indicator of a deadly infection).

So, Scooter is one level up from your "normal" doc -- he reads the patient's problems, and assigns other doctors to do deep surgeries.

Best for the patient thataway.

Funny story Scooter just told me: Guy comes in, and his face is off. So Scotty says to hisself, "I'll start here and just keep on sewing different pieces together here there and everywhere until I get it repaired as best as possible."

So he works for a couple of hours, and actually gets the guy's face back on and in damn' good shape. Took a coupla hundred stitches.

The guy wakes up, and the first thing he says is: "I don't like all these stitches. They itch. I want them out."

May 23 rd eh?.......another doomsday prediction?...I have endured way to many “on this date” it’s gonna happen that turned out to be nothing burgers that I am afraid I have run out of s h I t s to give , call me semi jaded , cynical , or burn out but that’s how I feel...

in the mean time , I’m gonna take a day at a time

 

[Unca Walt]

Not a doomsday prediction. Simply a clear statement of a current-at-this-time LAW in effect.

Taking it a day at a time is the most excellent of choices. Good on ya.

yes Sir....what I heard you say in that post was that the military are in charge and on May 23 rd the military is going to take over the government?

 

[Hippie420]

The weapon used was and AR15 which is an assault rifle.

Wrong. An AR15 is a semi auto version of a M16, which is a select fire weapon that is classified as an assault weapon.

Enjoy the night OFC, it's cookie time.

This is now defined as assault weapon due to the mods and add-ons.

It is probably dead balls accurate once sighted in

 

[Hippie420]

I doubt it. Too many variables. Powder is measured, not weighed, variances in ball weight, not to mention it's a smooth bore. That said, I don't want to be standing in front of the business end when it goes off.
