If that’s what you believe and want to die on that hill so be it. There are thousands of studies. Take it up with them. I’m particularly not interested. There’s many other things to thing about. Plus how can they guarantee that what the patients got came from surgery or other issues.
goldielocks @ 0:35….wow, that has been a battle for your daughter from the start…and sounds like it still is! :o(
I’ve had my own health experiences in Mercy Hospital in Sacramento at age 17; 6 weeks on my back with my foot in a plastic bag full of Normal Saline and ??? to kill the infection that had developed from the wound across the top of my foot. I could wiggle my toes and watch all the tendons flex in the wound that went all the way across the top of my foot but luckily did not sever any of those 5 exposed tendons.
I had been swimming in the American River about a month before when a small plane flew over and they were yelling “the body, the body” and pointing to a small island in the river every time they made a low pass over the river. A man had drowned in the river the day before and had not been found yet, but they had spotted him from the air and I was close and could see his body…. so I was swimming across to the body when my foot struck something on the bottom of the river which turned out to be an old rusty piece of corrugated roofing tin that had been dumped into the river. My foot went instantly numb and when I looked was bleeding profusely so I abandoned what I was doing and got out of the river and limped to where some friends were sitting. They wrapped my foot up and took me to a doctor who took many stitches in it and said if it doesn’t get infected it should heal okay….but it DID get infected, swelled up and all the stitches ripped out, and I ended up as described above.
I was released from the hospital with a healing open “trough” across the top of my foot and instructions to keep it clean by pouring if full of Hydrogen Peroxide morning and night, letting it foam, and then gently wiping it out with sterile gauze and wrapping it up until it was completely healed. Otherwise I was free to use it again…..but after 6 weeks on my back in the hospital I was hardly able to walk …… but it was Pheasant Hunting Season so I borrowed a 12 guage shotgun and walked the nearby open fields hunting Pheasants….and walked myself back to health.
Turned out that since I was still only 17, all that huge doctor and hospital bill was covered by my stepdad’s carpenters insurance, even though I was no longer living at home. SNG
goldie, your link is not helpful.
Monash, for example, consists of three tiny studies. Why did it not include Orr’s data? Their own conclusion:
“The quality of the studies we found was low overall.”
How is Orr’s research not scientific? Thousands of operations over six month periods?

On Epstein, Trump might be going after a bigger fish. It’s a speculation but I fear not to mention so you’ll have to watch it.
This is different dyed potatoes in place of eggs.
Eggs being the new gold for parents, people are getting creative and dying potatoes.

BTW not quite in the groove on discussing all the studies on masks right now or ever because it would require a lot of factors and there’s been quite a few including with Covid. One of the reasons was costs.
But since you took the time after reading on Easter this year and if there’s a way to not need masks at times I’m all for it cuz there not good for the ones wearing them either but none the less currently nonconclusive in a surgery theater.
-
Conflicting Evidence:Some studies suggest a small decrease in infection rates with mask use, while others show no difference or even a slightly increased risk, according to a systematic review from Monash Health.
-
Cochrane Review:A Cochrane review, a reliable source of systematic reviews, concluded that there is no clear evidence that disposable face masks affect the likelihood of wound infections developing after surgery.
-
Some studies, like a randomized study at a minor injury department, found no significant difference in postoperative wound infections when health personnel wore or did not wear surgical face masks.
-
Other Factors:While masks may protect the operating team from certain infections, they have not been proven to protect the patient, according to one study published in PubMed.
-
Limitations of Studies:Some studies included only clean surgeries, and the quality of the evidence was generally low.
-
Potential Benefits:Masks can act as a physical barrier against blood and bodily fluid splashes, potentially benefiting the surgical team, according to a study in the journal PubMed Central.
-
Alternative Strategies:Other strategies for infection control, such as strict adherence to hygiene protocols and proper ventilation, are more important for preventing surgical site infections.

Perhaps you should start looking for those studies then .
goldie, that study is absolutely conclusive.
Unless surgeons can produce studies to refute Orr’s data they should be sued for negligence, or struck off, for operating with masks.

Get your money out to where? Then goes back to others things or history. Back to Michael Pinto which will be PMs. . I know what Simon should say, Bitcoin. I’m talking about transaction money or cashable saving. What is he saying people cash in their stocks or retirement funds? We heard that before. Nothing about resistance so makes me wonder.

Yeah she has that unstoppable Semper Fi on her dad’s side. Not just anesthesia that can affect everyone differently plus they might not remember the initial pain plus she was heavily medicated for pain plus the trauma. In her case she couldn’t be bearing any weight on her arms hands or leg for awhile.
Then going all though that to find her hardware in the leg was infected plus having to go back in for tissue injury or I sent her back recognizing cellulitis was forming and area that looked like deep tissue injury which it was. A different doctor opened up the area to see pus coming out of a screw in her tibia then another. Removed them and used antibiotics. I told my daughter to ask her to get cultures and not mess around and she said she definitely was. Then she had a bit of trouble with the corner of the flap. She said it was getting deeper. So after awhile if getting deeper she had me treat it and I showed her this is sluff and causing it to tunnel because it’s killing granulation tissue preventing it to grow , cleaned it up and told her she needed a wound vac and will help draw the antibiotics to it and circulation to heal it too. First they thought it wasn’t sluff them realized it was or something She went back and saw her first surgeon and he put a temp type wound vac in on and set it for 7 days and it needed two weeks at least to granulate tissue back up. Well after 7 days I didn’t know about it or the other doctor it stopped plus she was out of antibiotics.
So that fluid has no where to escape making it a closed dirty wound situation and I had a fit when she told me because she said her leg was starting to smell and found out why. I told her to go right back and have them take it off and clean that wound and replace the vac in and get back on antibiotics now. She talked to the other doctor who didn’t know and told her to take it off her in the shower and rinse it off and she’ll see her the next day. I gave her silver gel on hand so she used that to keep it moist which granulating wound needs. They do everything old school as they have chemical de breeders too that don’t harm healthy tissue and keep the granulating tissue moist and alive. They use wet to dry which then can harm the healthy tissue as it dries and pulled off and drag everything out which can result in infections too. So the wound was half filled with tissue from the vac but apparently didn’t have more portable on hand so using the wet to dry. I told her they could of admitted her for another week in with a hospital vac and healed that up. At least they got her more antibiotics for the osteomyelitis still there too That was a month ago and still being treated now for that wound that should of been resolved Cognitive dissonance going on. She saw the other doctor again too and he said the X-rays looked good and the plates weren’t ready to come out yet. Hello!! I told her they can replace them! I don’t know what’s up less they don’t want to show the hardware was contaminated. Compliance is good on one end, not on the other. She needs to get a second opinion .out of their group. It could result it losing her leg, is resulting in chronic osteo and could cause sepsis. She should be all healed by now.

Your daughter has had a very hard time, especially with all the complications post surgery. Sounds like hallucination or drug induced state she was in talking to you on the phone, poor girl. I hope they have conquered the bone infection by now and she’s finally on the mend for good. She’s been in my prayers a long time now. What kind of motorcycle will she get this time? ;o/

Anesthesia
After my daughters accident with multi injuries including compound and possible head injury plus having to wait 24 hours before surgery of course I had concern for her but also didn’t envy her nurses. Combined with blood loss she was so thirsty and they told her she could have something to drink after surgery they kept putting off as they were building a team.
After she woke up she wanted water but she couldn’t have it yet she could vomit and aspirate. She could have some ice chips every half hr So being out of it but non stoppable.they wound up giving in and gave her a little more ice chips. Her mouth and throat was hurting after 24 hrs then anesthesia and surgery. The swabs weren’t helping her as she was also thirsty but had IVs. Both her arms and hands were boxed up also surgery so they put the phone on speaker next to her. Plus her leg had to be positioned a certain way or she would be in pain. Every few minutes it was l her leg was hurting again then needing something to drink . I figured out after awhile she was in a airbed that moves around to prevent pressure. That every time it moved it moved her leg and started to hurt. So I tried to tell her to tell the nurses to roll something up to make sure the leg didn’t move out of place that was comfortable with the bed. But she was too out of it and now watching the bed to see if it moved. Then I heard her start whispering to me. Did you see that? Said,. No I’m on the phone. She whispered the bed, it’s moving! The bed is moving! i got to get out of here! Then her voice changed again to high pitched heard her say. Oh please don’t tie me down and the nurses telling she can’t walk telling her your going to fall. Then someone asked me if I wanted to get some sleep hung up the phone. Lol She said after that they moved her into another bed and she was okay after that but didn’t remember what led up to that. She didn’t remember anything.

More often minor things happening with the posterior and one of the reasons it looked like his doctor was addressing with keeping the suture area covered. In the US they aren’t in a hurry to release per protocol, although protocols can change depending where your at, co morbidities, anesthesia or side effects and if someone’s home with the client.
My experience with hip replacement, although the posterior operation, was a “walk in the park or piece of cake”.
With posterior hip replacement they say there is more muscle damage and a 6 inch incision…but no “torture table” to get strapped into. I opted for a spinal tap with a mild sedative to put me “out” during surgery. The only thing I remember was hearing a “tap, tap, tap….tap, tap, tap…. which surprised the doctor when I asked him what made that tapping sound while I was under. He said that was tapping the point of the new metal hip socket into the femur after the femur had been cut off. After the surgery I was able to get up with assistance and walk to the bathroom shortly after I woke up, and that evening I walked the hospital halls back and forth to the nurses station for several hours, making sure it was entered into my charts.
I was supposed to be in hospital 2 days but the next morning I saw the Doctor at 10AM, and when he read my charts and I demonstrated my ability to function he discharged me. That was September 30, 2015, going on 10 years now, and I’ve never looked back. I walk several miles daily and my life is still SilvernGold FWIW!
I hope Maya has as good results with his anterior “torture table” surgery. We have a nurse friend here who recently got the “torture table” anterior hip replacement, and in dislocating her hip they also unintentionally dislocated her knee too. I did not want to mention this while Maya was awaiting surgery, as this is very rare occurrence, but it can happen. SNG

Masks There not enough conclusive evidence either way yet. They should also have some information on the reversal to staff, especially in surgery or blood draws with masks and protective eye wear concerning blood born illnesses like Hep B or HIV.
It sounds like she should be in good hands and speaking of hands the biggest thing he has to worry about concerning bugs if following protocol is if all are and if the hardware, new hip is sterile and not contaminated like what happened with my daughter and they have not since replaced and antibiotic laced treated it yet.
I didn’t want to mention that to him before surgery, when he has enough to think about why worry him.

What you say makes sense. Have to keep an eye on the SM.
For goldie and maya (now he’s had his surgery!)

Wound infections increase by between 100% and 200% when masks are worn in the operating theatre.

“Interesting that he is surprised it hasn’t come with a bigger move up in rates. I’m not sure we’re going to see that this time around.”
If we see a big selloff in stocks going into the fall, then we can see a C wave down in rates and set an important bottom then.
“I see SLV closed right on the 50 dma and right at the $32.50 level. I like the way that chart looks and where it sits but we’ll see how it goes.”
Silver likely goes to $35 soon but would get smacked down again with the larger equity complex at least one more time. When traders are sure a lasting bottom in stocks is in – then – and only then – when they are sure QE is back in black – will the marginal players plow into it with vigor.
Good weekend

Watched the E-wave video. Hopefully it all pans out and gold pulls everything along with it as he says.
Interesting that he is surprised it hasn’t come with a bigger move up in rates. I’m not sure we’re going to see that this time around.
His move is long term. Hard to imagine a multi-year rally where a 20% pullback doesn’t matter. Hope that comes later rather than sooner.
Wondering if the $5 death drop in silver a week and a half ago was a dog whistle to the shorts to cover up or forever hold their peace. It was completely manufactured.
I see SLV closed right on the 50 dma and right at the $32.50 level. I like the way that chart looks and where it sits but we’ll see how it goes.

Trump Keeps the Warmongers at Bay |
|
Israel and the Iran warmongers, still lurking in the swamp, almost had their way triggering World War III. According to The New York Times, Israel planned a strike on Iranian nuclear sites but President Trump waved them off, instead favoring negotiation with the Ayatollah regime and giving Tehran a deadline for a nuclear deal. Earlier in April, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard presented a new assessment that a U.S. weaponry build-up due to the potential Israeli strike might spark a wider conflict with Iran. Well, duh. It doesn’t take a national security/foreign policy genius to grasp that helping the Israelis bomb Iran would drag America straight into World War III. And, of course, it seems Israel automatically assumed we would assist their insane strategy. Thankfully, numerous Trump officials, including JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, and even the more hawkish Mike Waltz, all voiced skepticism of Israel’s plan. Israel and permanent Washington want nothing more than an all-out war with Iran. We all know how it would end. Not well, to say the least. |
