  1. I'm sorry for the loss of your beloved daughter, but everyone deserves some happiness and presumably her husband is still quite young. Personally, I don't see the point in putting flowers on graves, I prefer to have a bunch of flowers in the house in remembrance. Many people prefer to feel the spirit of their loved one is in their heart, and not in a cold grave. Your daughters husband can have a new wife but still love your daughters memory.

  2. I was a nurse in care homes in the UK. I never met a resident who chose to live there when they were independent. Why would they ? Everyone in the home NEEDED to be there ! Sadly for some people, their care requirements are such, that care in their own home isnt possible. If you get to this stage, unfortunately you don't really have a choice. Keep as fit and healthy as you can, have your affairs in order, and ensure your home is as safe, and easy to manage as possible. Consider what modifications you may have to carry out, to enable you to remain at home if you become more ill or infirm.

  5. ​@Marcie-w1u Well said, thanks. I'm a retired nurse and daughter of parents who have dementia. I know how hard it is to care for the elderly and I'd never condemn anyone for not wanting to take it on. In fact I'm getting very irritated by some people who have martyr/saviour complexes and expect everyone else to be the same. There's no merit in destroying your own health and life to be a carer. Yes you can walk away, because if you become ill yourself, you'd have no choice but to do that anyway. I have a chronic health condition, and I realised early on that I wouldn't have the strength to care for either one or both of my parents. They went to stay in a care home and are very well looked after. My parents had a fantastic life with no caring responsibilities for elderly relatives .

  7. ​ @bobbibartley549  The fact is, there are some people who do very well on a vegan diet, just as it's not suitable for others. Everyone's metabolism is different. I would love to be vegan for ethical reasons, but having B12 deficiency due to Pernicious Anaemia, I feel better on fish, eggs, etc.

  8. ​@YourHealthyLifePath Hi, I have to have B12 injections every week to keep healthy. The good news is that large doses do NOT cause problems ! On the contrary, if someone experiences health issues, they probably need MORE B12 ! The B12 level is SUPPOSED to be up in the thousands when receiving injections ! Many doctors are unfortunately ignorant of this.

  9. ​@robertroberts3rd265 But what's the definition of " racist " ? People have been accused of being racist just for calling out the behaviour of someone of an ethnic minority.

  10. @leticialaoagan9286  It's wonderful if you can do that, but what happens if you yourself are not well enough to care for parents ? I am the only family member living near my mother, and I am not able to look after her. People may also be working. You cannot care for someone with complex health needs if you're out at work.

  11. @Clodhopping  I'm not talking about body language and facial expression, which I agree can be very revealing. I'm talking about "Character being written on faces " If that was the case, it would be easy for us all to avoid evil people and for the police to catch murderers. Some of the most sweet, innocent looking people are psychopaths. I have met them in the course of my work. Again, if character was written on our faces, it would make psychiatrists jobs a lot easier too !

  17. @anjou6497  I know what the definition is, but as I said, people have been unfairly accused of racism, eg, for disagreeing with someone's point of view on any subject when that person is of an ethnic minority. I am not racist, I treat everyone equally, but unfortunately, "pulling the race card " has become a real thing.
    2
  18. @vurttv6415  Well, of course, lumping everyone together and suggesting certain behaviours are an ethnic trait is totally wrong. If someone has behaved badly, I call out the behaviour, not the ethnicity.

  19. @tabithan2978  Duh ! - Do your research ! Beatrice, Eugenie, and Zara HAVE been carrying out Royal engagements on behalf of the King and Queen. Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, usually carries out more work than any other Royal, but she has security protection ONLY during those working engagements, not at any other time ! Security is Harry's main bone of contention ...

  20. It's almost impossible to have dangerously high B12 levels. Excess is excreted in the urine. Your levels need to be high to gain any benefit if you don't absorb it well. B12 injections are given as an antidote to cyanide poisoning. The dose for this is a whopping 2.5 GRAMS !!! Our injections for B12 deficiency, as you know, are miniscule in comparison at 1,000 MICROgrams ! You should take as much B12 as you need to treat your symptoms. Wishing you better health !

  21. ​@bevvyjune4753 That's exactly what's happening ! The senior doctor at our practice wrote an apology on the website, explaining that the reason registered patients couldn't get appointments, was because the doctors were having to examine and treat the several hundred " visitors " who have been foisted on our town.
    2
  22. @bevvyjune4753  Are you doubting me ? Or just curious ? These people have been housed in a newly built hotel and can be seen all over the town. Ive forgotten the exact number, but there are over 200. Local churches and charities have been involved with their care. As I said, the medical practice actually apologised on their website to the registered patients for the shortage of appointments and long waits. I must admit, I was very surprised that the doctor was bold enough to write this ! I don't think its wise to give too much information that can reveal your identity on social media , I've probably already said too much. However, this is in NE Scotland. If you're prepared to do the research, I'm sure you'll find out. By the way, I only ever comment on topics of which I have knowledge or am in possession of the full facts. If I ever give a personal opinion or supposition, I state it as such.
    2
  23. @bevvyjune4753  Thank you. Yes, I'm a former NHS worker, too. We've never heard of it before because this situation is unprecedented. I think we'll find this is duplicated across the country. Everywhere that has taken migrants will have a duty of care, and they'll require medical checks. It just won't be reported in the media. I personally think that the only reason our doctor shared this publicly was because he was retiring literally weeks later ! I can't see any doctor who wishes to remain employed doing this otherwise. I just checked the medical practice website, and unsurprisingly, that post has been removed !

  24. @adrianparker-e9f  You're correct. However, if there's a fatality investigation, I would think all records would have to be made available.
    2
  25. @adrianparker-e9f  I would have to research the current law too on providing medical evidence, as I'm not certain. I know there have been difficulties in the past. When I first started nursing ( quite some time ago ! ) data protection laws hadn't been tightened up. Regarding 'confidentiality ' , it's hard to believe, but we were permitted to use our own discretion and conscience as to what we would divulge to a police officer directly asking us for information. If we refused, the police would have to apply for access through official, legal routes .

  29. The writings are controversial because they are not true ! If you are B12 deficient, you need high doses of B12 to PREVENT gastric cancers !

  34. Face to face consultation is logically the only safe way to examine a patient. Use of technology, unfortunately, has proven to be unreliable and cost lives. Most people could see this coming ...

  35. @adrianparker-e9f  That must have been a horrible experience for you ! I hope you're keeping well now. If you say that even you might not have realised, if that happened before to this woman, then she would be being truthful when she said it was the first time she'd had a seizure.

  36. People go into nursing homes because they are very frail or ill with chronic health conditions. Its very sad, but unfortunately, chronic diseases progress, that's just what happens. The home was not necessarily to blame for his deterioration. Your friend most likely didn't have an option if he needed care. I'm sorry for your loss xx
    2
  37. I obviously dont know whether she is innocent or guilty. As a nurse, though, one fact concerns me. And this is fact. When Lucy was recently qualified, she made a serious drug administration error. She was treated very leniently, compared to similar incidences I know of. The only sanction she had to comply with was to attend a short refresher on drug administration. Ludy queried this decision and felt it was unnecessary for her to take the refresher course. I was astounded at this arrogant stance ! Especially as she got off so lightly from a serious mistake. In a long career, I have never encountered such an attitude towards a totally reasonable directive from a senior nurse manager.
    2
  38. Please be assured, that nobody who is able to look after themselves can be "put " into a care home ! Would you allow it to happen to you as you are now, fit and healthy ? Of course not ! People end up in nursing homes due to their frailty and inability to care for themselves. They deteriorate because they are ill in the first place, that is the normal course of chronic diseases . Please don't blame a person's relatives, nobody who is independent and well can be 'forced ' into a home !

  46. Nonsense. Of course there has to be a first time to have a seizure, and they can also be a one-off, caused by other factors. Unless you have medical knowledge and inside knowledge of this case, you can't actually 'know' anything !

  47. Anyone can have a first or one-off seizure. I know several people who this has happened to. Whether or not it causes a tragedy like this is all down to when and where it happens and luck. Let's hope if it happens to you, you are treated with more understanding and compassion !

  51. ​ @BetterHealthWhileAging  I have Pernicious Anaemia, and unfortunately oral B12 treatment does NOT work for me. I'm a former nurse aged 56, so of course I followed the oral treatment regime to the letter ! I had severe neurological symptoms. Why would someone my age necessarily have the same metabolic requirement for B12 as an 80 / 90 year old ? It's time doctors realised that one size doesn't fit all. The only way I can lead a productive life is to self inject B12 weekly, of course my doctor doesn't know about this ! We don't insist that diabetics all take the same dose of insulin, so why for B12 ? By the way, when I was diagnosed, I not only didn't have macrocytic anaemia, but my serum B12 was within normal range. Therefore I probably have absorption issues at a cellular level ( functional deficiency) rather than straightforward Pernicious Anaemia. Thank you for highlighting this very important issue !

  80. @abdelmansouf5560  I agree, but in the past, people didn't give as long, so dementia was not so much of an issue. I would never condemn anyone for being unable to take care of elderly relatives. I have nursed patients with dementia, and sometimes it takes a team to provide care. Nobody should have to sacrifice their own health, well-being, and family /marriage to nurse very ill relatives.

  82. @Advicefortheelderly  You have no idea how demanding physically and mentally it is to care for someone with complex health needs like severe dementia ! I have seen people break down and lose their own health through attempting to do so. Families also have to work ! When the elderly reach the stage of requiring a nursing home, we are not just talking about making meals, helping them bathe, etc. Dementia can mean violence, turning night into day, double incontinence, smearing faeces, other complex health care needs. It is 24 hours non-stop, 365 days a year !
    1
  83.  @riverduck3  Well said, thank you !
    1
  84. @WiseAdvice93  I agree with much of what you say, but it's unfair to say that families don't care and abandon their elders. As a retired nurse, I understand the demands of caring, and with some sick elderly people, it would be impossible for relatives to cope.
    1
  85. @vintageprue8728  I know some families don't care. As a retired care of elderly nurse, I've seen it all too. However, not everyone is capable of caring for their parents for so many reasons. Whatever people's motives, the infirm elderly are in care for one reason - because their health conditions and frailty requires it. I would not have the strength to care 24 hours a day, 365 days for a parent with severe dementia, doubly incontinent, aggressive, and wandering about. Whether they are loved by their families, or seen as a burden, they are in care because they need to be.

  86. Hurrah ! At last, some common sense ! Most people require a variety of styles to learn. Not repeating the same lecture several times in different styles, but incorporating as many in one lesson as possible. If a teacher has a traditional lecture using visuals, notes/ texbooks available, with a practical session afterwards, this covers nearly every style. Its the way I was taught in the 1970s. I always thought VARK was completely unworkable with large classes. Education has gone through many incarnations, so hopefully we're returning to common sense. Talk about having to reinvent the wheel ! Its just not feasible to

People who were only children at the time are now in their 60s/70s, so unfortunately, many of the adults at the time are no longer with us. If you dont actively take an interest in the history of your city, you're not going to know things.

  92. @cellbiologyshorts9105  The video you've just watched ?? Plus many other reported cases. The news is full of them, plus personal experience of losing two friends to cancer who were 'diagnosed' over the phone during covid lockdown. Mainly, though, from my knowledge and experience as a senior nurse. As a nurse seeing a patient face to face, you are observing EVERYTHING about that person to build up a picture of not only their physical health but also their mental health and social circumstances. You are looking at the way they walk into the surgery, the way they're dressed ( are their clothes clean and in good repair), skin colour and integrity, do they have a tremor etc etc, and yes - SMELL ! This can all be vital to form a diagnosis. Need I say more ?
