Amisja replies on Jul 5, 2018:

@ian290744 India has a huge birth rate. They do not have access to the same levels of birth control and having many children (particularly sons) is linked to manliness. India hasn't really had an established caste system since the 1930s, however a class system with Anglo/Indians firmly established amongst the higher eschelons certainly exists. In fact Indian birthrate amongst its middle classes is falling. The key is simple, educate and empower girls, provide free contraception.

Please allow me to brag.

I figured out that I don't hate folding laundry.

Amisja comments on Jul 1, 2018:

Dry your clothes on a washing line. Better for the environment and saves money. I dry mine outside even in winter (as long as its dry). Also the wrinkles drop out. I like doing laundry and ironing but I get so little time to do it I end up with a laundry mountain.

Amisja replies on Jul 1, 2018:

I certainly appreciate all the comments; I never thought of myself before as a "chubby chaser" but I will add that to my vocabulary. I guess we all find different things attractive. A petite lady I could like, but skinny doubtful for me. In relationships I've experienced with let us say ...

Amisja replies on Jun 27, 2018:

Don't you understand how cruelly demeaning it is to reduce 50% of the human population to a preferred body shape? In addition, the term 'ladies' is sexist and outdated. You lump all women together into a 'type' as though all women who are overweight have the same characteristics or even the same shape. None of that is true.

We are so lucky in the UK. GUM clinics, GPs, hospitals can provide mifepristone. In fact, I have administered it as a nurse practitioner. Its not a big deal. My GP does not refer for terminations but they pass on to another surgery. They do prescribe this medication. Its most common use is as a preventative but is given as part of the kit provided following rape. I don't understand the issue myself.

They will become another factory to produce cheap western goods making China obsolete and human rights will be not improve. The economy will crash because it is not based on a sustainable business plan; it doesn't need to be. Trump doesn't care about American people, he cares about him. If he can create a fake hothoused economy during his term thats all he wants. Seeing those babies ripped from their Mums was just inhuman. You guys deserve better.

Good to have you back in the land of the living, then. Dreadful weather here, not just thunderstorms, but flash floods too. went to collect my son after he had been to a car rally. They had to decide whether to stand under a tree to avoid the torrential rain, or avoid a lightning strike by standing...

I totally want to live for ever. I have so much to do. I'll never fit it all in. I am hoping if I manage another 30 years they will have extended human life span long enough for me to have a good go...if not theres nothing else for it, I'll have to come back ;)

Been to see loads of student nurses in clinical practice and everyone bar none is having problems ...

beansontoast comments on Jun 8, 2018:

Is this a general observation of that age group or, more specifically, one that you think particularly prevalent in nursing?

Amisja replies on Jun 8, 2018:

I'm not sure Mr. Toast. I know that not having enough data (had it even been a thing) would not have prevented me from attending a work placement...am I heing harsh?

VAL3941 comments on Jun 8, 2018:

When I look at group if youngsters today, I get the feeling we are bringing up a bunch of wimps. why should nursing be any different ?

Amisja replies on Jun 8, 2018:

Well one hopes nursing...like medicine is different. The expectation is that nursing students enter a profession where they will be expected to care hollistically for others for the rest of their working lives. It can be tough, hence the huge drop out rates. I am not sure if they are any more or any less 'wimpy' than you or I. One always wants better for the next generation.

Josephine comments on Jun 8, 2018:

I'm a sign off mentor for student nurses in their final placement before qualifying. I've seen a huge change in the education of nurses over the years and I have to say the education systems are letting them down badly. They don't have the practical skills they need and by the time I see them it's ...

Amisja replies on Jun 8, 2018:

Hi Josephine, that is really interesting. I was a sign off mentor too. I am part of the team hoping to bridge the gap with clinical skills and academia. I agree with what you say but there is a real issue here. Student nurses who are either overly familiar or painfully shy. I do not doubt their knowledge. It just seems like we have almost educated them to far away from the nit and grit that is human life. One shouty patient and they become completely unstuck. I generalise as I know most are wonderful. Its just I do seem to encounter this a lot.

This is the result of being given a trophy because everyone got one no one was to be left out. These people never experienced failure . They were always rewarded and come to believe that was how life really was.Sorry, let's hope they have the common sense to teach their children how life really ...

Amisja replies on Jun 8, 2018:

I am sorry but the British education system is far more competitive than that, I assure you. These are the top 25%. Its a tough course but one would think a prerequisite for being a nurse is the ability to talk.

Question on the death of Dr. Stephen Hawking

indirect76 comments on Jun 8, 2018:

The dude lived way longer than anyone ever expected. I think you are looking at this the wrong way. He made it to 76 which is a decent lifespan for anyone.

Amisja replies on Jun 8, 2018:

@DZhukovin It just isn't that simple. We can model any number of diseases and certainly on animal testing (do not approve btw) diseases can be cured. However diseases mutate, epigentics affects our vulnerability, new threats occur from industry and sadly science, changes in the environment and increased sensitivity due to decreased biodiversity and monocultured crops create alsorts of problems. We are just on the cusp of a revolution in genetic treatments both by altering genetics and genetically modifying treatments for established diseases. We just aren't there yet.

Amisja replies on Jun 8, 2018:

@DZhukovin I absolutely assure you there is another person with the level of Professor Hawking's intellect somewhere. All we need to do is listen. Professor Hawkings passed away because his body failed. No amount of further medical intervention could have extended his life and how do you know he even wanted that? We need to encourage and educate the next generations...the next great scientist is out there.
