When you get old you go see doctors for entertainment.
I spent 8 hours at the Bloomington Hospital Emergency Room yesterday, and didn’t die1. Yet.
After getting blood drawn (and dyes inserted), blood tests, an ultra-sound and cat scan, it seems I need to start using Morton’s Iodized Salt in the Blue Cylinder2, rather than Sea or Himalayan Salt. That Thyroid Thingamabob-thing.
Although no one anymore hardly, even in Bloomington3 (well I.U. is out for the summer) is wearing a Muzzle anymore, except perhaps at the Bloomington Duplicate Bridge Club, I was met at the door by a Greeter who asked me about my CoVid-1984 symptoms and gave me a free Muzzle4 (I think it was my Participation Award). Every employee was also Muzzled. I felt like I was immersed in some sort of Religious Cult with Religious Rituals. And there was a even a Muzzled woman (perhaps a Nun or an Accolade?) going around full-time disinfecting all the chairs and doorknobs so that the place was even more Spic and Span and Shiny than that McDonalds I ate at in Moscow a couple of decades ago.
I complied and wore my Muzzle, albeit below my chin, for the whole 8 hour ordeal.
AND
Not one MDeity (doctor), nurse, NP, PA, technician, secretary, security official or patient said a word nor even gave me a dirty look. They know5.
Of course they could all see that I was a True Scientist, wearing my Organic Heirloom Garlic Bulb Necklace, rather than engaging some Medieval Superstitious Muzzle-Ritual. They knew I was protected. (Though the Science is still not yet really clear on whether 2 garlic bulbs provide more protection than 1 garlic bulb, it is clear that even 1 garlic bulb is just as effective as 1, 2 or even 3 Muzzles)6.
Yep, as I said last January, The Narrative is Crumbling.
And I’ll also say this — it’s kinda cool being an Old Fart with a Medicare Advantage Plan Card in your wallet (even better than an American Express Card!) (I think that it’s called Medicare Part D or something), and not having to worry about that pesky $7000 deductible (maybe it’s MOAR now), let alone those hefty Monthly Health Insurance Premiums. It pays to be an Old Fart. Heck, for FREE tonight on the InterWeb I even ordered, for FREE, a blood pressure measurement cuff and a scale …. I really think many diseases are life-style diseases (I’ll include myself here) and I’ll tell you, MOST of the people in the waiting room were overweight, if not obese. Don’t think the MDeities or Big Pharma have a pill for that yet, but they sure have lots of pills to treat the effects of obesity, and the side-effects of the pills, and even their side-effects, I think ad infinitum, or perhaps, ad nauseum, if not, ad mortem; or perhaps better, for Big Pharma anyway, usque ad argentariam7.
They say if you don’t want to die, stay out of the hospital. Plain and Simple.
I do NOT advertise products on this blog … well, except for my Missionary Work.
No Toto, I don’t think we’re in Florida or Texas anymore !
I’ve been saving up these Free Muzzles for when I go into my crawl space to remove all that fiberglass insulation. And, as I’ve said before many times, Muzzles can indeed stop the Pandemic, but only if used properly: i.e., take them all and use them to cover up your T.V. set.
They know they have to be Muzzled to keep their jobs.
i.e., exactly 0% effective, more or less.
The would be, “all the way to the bank”.
If they all refused to wear a muzzle, as they should have from the very beginning, there would not have been any "covid."
People are so easy to scare... And it takes them years to realize that dying is better than living in fear...
Last time I went to see a "doctor was 11 years ago, because I wanted a hearing test in order to be updated how far my hearing loss after shooting in the army became. (I had coverage through the college I taught for at the time, but I haven't accepted any coverage ever since, even for "free.") The "doctor" wanted to send me to "tests." I looked deeply into her eyes, and quietly said, "I am not having any symptoms indicating illness, but even if you found something, could you do anything about it?" She looked back with murderous eyes and didn't say a word. She resembled a muzzled dog... I felt sorry for her, but since then, my maxim has been, "Here, in the village, we prefer to die of natural causes."
LMAO! Beautiful! I might end up in the same situation as I may or may not have Covid right now. I'm writing about it now in fact
