A THIRD close contact of the person in Missouri who was hospitalized with #H5N1 #BirdFlu reported that they too, had symptoms.

They are the 2nd #HCW who had contact to have symptoms, but I don't think they treated the original patient, but were just a close friend.

Next time a Health Care Worker told their eyes at your #N95 it insists you take off your #Mask... Yeah I know, showing them this won't change their mind.

KOMU 8Health care worker is third person to become ill after contact with Missouri patient who had bird fluThe person is a close contact of a patient in Missouri who was hospitalized with H5N1 bird flu.

#US #CDC #Missouri {#H5N1 #Human} Case #Update, as of Sept. 20: cdc.gov/bird-flu/spotlights/h5

Missouri identified 1 additional #HCW #contact {4th case in the #cluster} who had developed mild respiratory symptoms & was not tested for influenza as illness had resolved before investigation began. #Serologic testing will be offered to this 2nd health care #worker. As CDC previously reported, one health care worker with exposure to the infected individual was tested for influenza and was negative.

Finally got dr permission for IV magnesium. I don’t absorb it any other way so I am extremely deficient in it and ill. Can provide materials.

Problem is that I can’t find anyone to come out here in suburbia for less than $600 (check cost of wellness clinics in Melbourne. Expensive or don’t do at all. )

If you are a #nurse #phlebotomist #hcw or have any experience running a drip, please reply/DM. I don’t care if you learned it DIY as long as you know what you’re doing.

This treatment changes my life from bedridden to 60% of normal in a few months! That’s mildly ill in comparison.
It helps every symptom I have.
Hospitals only give it for preeclampsia. Hospital in the Home is the same. Private nurse services same.
It’s so basically going through proper channels doesn’t help.

It’s not illegal to have someone qualified come out and do it as long as doc has signed off on it which is why wellness clinics can do it. But medical system won’t. I know it doesn’t make sense but it’s Australia 2024. If you don’t have formal qualifications we can figure it out.

I’ve even asked the government for help. Nothing.

Was informed even private insurance wouldn’t help with this (I don’t have it ofc but this is an example of how hard and stupid this is.)

P-l-e-a-s-e post to other platforms. I have no team to help promote me I barely have any energy for basics . I have no energy to advertise. If you can help an team also let me know.

Please give me some quality of life.

I’m in #Melbourne #Australia.
If you’re willing to drive a distance will compensate for petrol and pay what you think is fair for your time.

TLDR: Need nurse or any qualified healthcare worker to come to my place to give magnesium IV.
Even consider unqualified if you know what you’re doing.

In accident and emergency settings, significant numbers of nurses reported having more than 51 patients to care for.

... have had #Covid multiple times, are having brain changes, not just a "dumbing down" but behavior altering changes.

I don't think I've seen any studies that talks about this. If anyone has, I'd love the links!

Also, any #HCW & #Caregivers who have first hand experience with #Alzheimer and #Dementia patients, does any of this make sense to you?

Even #TBI or #Concussion patients. TONS of similarities with #LongCovid #CognitiveDecline

Attentional impairment and altered brain activity in healthcare workers after mild COVID-19

Non-hospitalized patients may face ongoing emotional, behavioural, and cognitive impairments despite mild clinical symptoms.

As a core component of cognitive and behavioural processes, attentional function plays a crucial role in basic and higher functions and significantly impacts daily life and work.

Health care workers at hundreds of Kaiser Permanente hospitals and medical facilities across the U.S. walked off the job on Wednesday morning, in an effort to ramp up pressure on their employer to fix a staffing shortage that has intensified since the start of the #COVID #pandemic. #CovidIsNotOver #LongCovid #HealthCare #HCW #StaffingShortage

In case anyone needs to hear this, many of us healthcare workers will get in trouble for raising "concerns" about COVID in our workplaces, especially when scientifically illiterate capitalists run the organizations. Nevermind the data blackout courtesy of the CDC and affiliated corporate media- that doesn't help us workers at all. #HCW #CovidIsNotOver

#CDC will fail again: HICPAC advises the CDC on guidelines for infection control in HC settings -finalizing plan for the CDC in Nov -revisions would water down infection control protections, esp. for aerosol transmission & multidrug-resistant organisms. Worrisome: conclusion: plain surgical masks = to N95s & provide adequate protection to #HCW /patients🚨 *abundant evidence to the contrary.

This is so disgusting!!

“We’d put calls out for extra help and many responses we'd get told us they couldn’t because of current or prior agreements with their employer,”

"...even physicians who’d recently left their jobs couldn’t answer calls for extra help... Several employers went out of their way to enforce noncompetes against health workers who tried to do just that."

How Noncompete Agreements Hamstrung America’s Pandemic Response

The American ProspectHow Noncompete Agreements Hamstrung America’s Pandemic ResponseWhen COVID-19 was at its worst, many doctors wanted to go where they were most needed. Their bosses said no.

It's too conspiracy-like to say that they're trying to kill us all...right?

#COVID testing for HCW IS NOT RECOMMENDED"

“It is important to remember that the majority of health care workers..."

HEALTH CARE WORKERS!!!

"...with respiratory symptoms do NOT need to test for COVID-19, and can return to work..."

TO... YOU KNOW... CARE FOR THE REST OF US!!!

"...when their fever is resolved and they feel well enough to work,” reads the memo.
