.I've been an RN 17 years. I've seen a lot of things. In 2021 I was told by my hospital to get the
or be fired. I worked on a tele unit and we were the designated C unit. I caught the C sickness in early 2021, but overcame it fine at age 60. It wasn't pleasant.
Hundreds from my hospital system were let go, 26 just from my unit including 6 charge RNs. I had to relocate to find work, changed my life. I have found a hospital that accepts exemptions.
One of the first things I saw early 2021 after the sucker came out was a healthy 20 year old with platelets of 4 (can't clot) after J n J. Another healthy 35 year old with a rare pancreatitis only affecting the tip of her pancreas. She told me herself she thought it was the sucker..
But that summer our census exploded. It's usually slower in the summer as the weather is better. Observations: so many strokes and neurological symptoms on people without many risk factors. Hemorrhagic strokes, which aren't as common, were everywhere. Never seen so many in 17 years.
In addition, spinal abcesses and tumors, my own hair dresser, 35 y/o healthy lady woke up with half her body numb, two weeks after the second sucker they talked her into. She had spinal tumors. Still not back to work.
Blood clots, Pulmonary embolisms, gi bleeds. My brother who only had one sucker last year just told me he is on a blood thinner for a clot in his leg he developed recently. Huge influx of these at hospital.
Lots of weird skin rashes of unknown etiology. Migraines, new onset seizures. Heart problems, uncontrolled Afib, heart attacks. Many patients in remission for cancer, but it came back, and many new cancers. Now I work on every floor in the float pool so I see all the specialty floors.
Many many falls due to dizziness resulting in fractures, hip replacements, etc. Even "younger" people my age with all these things. Many infections I believe due to suppressed immune systems.
Altered mental status, such a thing right now! New onset dementia and confusion. Besides all the deaths, there aren't enough facilities and caregivers in the world to care for all the permanently debilitated people. I see it every single day and I know everyone's sucker status at the beginning of my shift. 2-4 most of them! Lining up for more!
I've also noticed a lot of kidney issues like stones, acute failure, etc. Have I missed anything? It's real and I am an eye witness.
Last year when I was going to be fired the Stew Peter's show asked me to come on and tell about being fired but I declined and had my friend an respiratory therapist named Angela go on (look up last September's shows). But I did go on Komo news in Seattle September 27th 2021 in an interview called "It should be a chioice" it's still on their website. I live in Washington state.
I'm at my wits end seeing all this. I want to help, but don't know how. I do advise patients not to get any more suckers and that's the least I can do. To date I've never given the sucker to anyone and never will. I will talk to anyone who will listen but sadly 5 of my seven kids have eaten a sucker and 5 of my six siblings have. I feel I need to mentally prepare for the worst. But being a Christian I continue to wrestle all this out in the context of my faith, and what I believe predicted to happen in this world. In the end we know who wins. My condolences to all on this site who have suffered loses. The stories are pulling at my heart strings. Thank you for reading to the end.
