@Meiaiscool that has nothing to do with it, and an epidurmic needle that injects a fluid nobody knows anything about directly into you, and a needle that just goes in your meat to pull your meat together aren't the same, it's not that they're afraid of needles, they don't want to be a lab rat 😂
You can buy a stitch stapler. Technically is used for clothes but I wouldn't see how it couldn't be used on cuts either. Technically stitches are not that hard except are lot more painful because of no lidocaine.
I got my flu shot at my desk as I was registering a patient. They looked at me like I was crazy. To be honest, I was kind of surprised too. I’m still new to working at a hospital, so I thought I’d have to go to the nurse giving out the shots, but they told me they’d just come to me instead so I wouldn’t have to disrupt my work lol
My hospital makes us go down to Employee Health where we have to fill out paperwork and then they can give us our shot. Be nice if they delivered! LOL!
i got called to office where they take photo for id card and give vaccines and show you videos and give you info like logging password and such. still its child ward for like hepatitis vaccine and flu shots and where they take your blood sample if you got accidental injected instead of patient or you got it after the patient had been jab.
Great analogy!! And I don’t know anything about how the weather network predicts the weather, but I still check to see if there’s ice-rain in the forecast to keep me safe on the roads!
@@devin7703From your response, it sounds as though you don't get vaccinated? Just don't give a shit what happens to "your temple", huh? Temple is going to feel like an outhouse WHEN you get the flu.
@@devin7703 Right? Why should I let a foreign germ ruin my temple when doctors have worked for years on a vaccine so me or someone I love with lung problems end up in the hospital?
It’s actually flu a and b. A couple strains such as swine or bird depending on the year and the last years most prevalent strain. It’s very simple. Everytime I opened a multi dose vial at work I would read the package insert which explicitly statuses to the tee exactly what is contained inside said vial. Losers say I don’t know. Professional say I’ll find out!
Loved when they came by at work with their cart and badge stickers and were like, hey, wanna get stabbed or nah? The last one who did it was a tiny old lady with the thickest southern accent I'd ever heard. That was the only time I ever saw her in that hospital, which was a shame bc she was so damn sweet. That's also the first time in my life I didn't feel the needle stick. Was a blessing.
Those tiny old ladies can be the best. I needed an IV line placed and nobody was finding a vein. The nurses got frustrated and somebody said, "We need Pearl". In shuffles Pearl and she gets it first try 😂
Wait, aren't they always free? Surprised your community doesn't pay for them. Makes sense when you think about it, a sick person can't contribute. Where do you live?
@@charmio some places require you to have insurance. Though most insurance will cover the cost if you don't have insurance then it may not be free. Though there are lots of places you can go to that give free flu shots too. Guess it just depends on where you are.
@@charmioLmao what... its free???? in Indonesia only the first few vaccines for babies are free but other than that absolutely fucken expensive. Still couldn't get a HPV shot because its so damn expensive. Middle to lower class definitely could not afford a flu shot every year
I gave a flu shot to a 12 year old last weekend. He was kind of amazed at how small the dose is since he gets allergy shots which are way more fluid. I told him some grownups still get freaked out when I give them the shots and the little champ just laughed at that. Favorite patient all day.
I started getting 3 shots every 2 weeks starting around that age. That shut me up pretty quick about having to get one shot every year. And just think about diabetics, needing multiple shots per day!
@@phillyphakename1255I will say the needles a diabetic has to use are about 10x smaller, but those finger sticks suck! There is no reason we should be using kits that still take so much blood you need to use a bigger needle to poke your finger than give the insulin!
I was at the gynecologist at a regular appointment and he was just like "you want a free flu shot?" and I was like "hell yeah" And that's how I got my flu shot this year
@@anna-lisaansardi9419 because it is completely different. While the flu shot is intramuscular, tattoo needles go to the dermis layer of the skin. Two completely different places and feelings.
@Rica Rya They keep track of who gets it at my hospital. If you are allergic you have to mask up at all times. If you aren't allergic and you don't get it you're fired.
@@olmostgudinaf8100 I had this issue with my PCP office the past 2 years. You can schedule a shot with the pharmacy though! That's how I've had to get mine.
I used to work supply at a hospital, the white coats (nursing students) would roll up on you out of nowhere (a group, with a cart) and ask to stick you, we would call it a drive by.
Lol I openly volunteer for target practice everytime I see a student nurse around. I’m a phlebotomist and I know my veins pretty well, but I also know they’re tricky to anyone inexperienced. Who better to stick than a willing learning experience
@@AllyRose24 I'm used to IVs, a new nurse stuck me 6 times then got her np. The next time she asked if she could try judt once. I said she could try 6 again. I don't mind.
I'm laughing about how they just come to you with the shot and have your sticker ready, the convenience of getting shots at work and having them kept track of for you is great
I work in a pharmacy. One of my pharmacist has decided that I am her designated pincushion. When she needs expanded immunizations to meet her quota she loves to check my profile to see if I'm eligible for immunizations. I love her so much!
The convience of having a huge supply of people willing to get unlimited shots without ever questioning the necessity or legitimacy of said shots is how Pharma made $90 Billion off of Covid shots alone in 2022. No one thinks anymore and that's great for big business and globalism
@@renaldamarkos7913 I should clarify that for me personally, I know which shots my pharmacist gives me and why. I joke about being a pincushion but I am actually educated enough to know about the shots that I'm being given. While that's not necessarily true of some people, a good chunk of us who work in high-risk fields generally feel the benefit far outweighs the risk. I didn't have the option of quitting my job when all this started and if I had brought it home it very likely would have killed my mother and I never would have forgiven myself. It was worth it for me
it's a lame excuse if it's to justify not getting a vaccine, but some people are scared of syringe needles and not tattoo needles! tattoo dont even pierce the skin all the way trough, syringes go way deeper
I can speak as someone who has a phobia of needles. Getting a tattoo is much different. It doesn't go as deep. Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti vax, I'd just rather get a full sleeve tattoo than my blood drawn or a shot because my fear is just that bad. It's irrational, sure, but I live with it. I still get my shots and man is that not fun.
You'll most likely survive the flu. All too many aren't surviving the poison prick. But hey, you do what you gotta do. I DO know at least some of what's in it, and that's why it ain't hannin. That...and I've had only 3 quaxx in my long life, last in 1987. You've been brainwashed into thinking that you need it and you don't.
A friend of mine has 3 kids and used to take them in for the flu shot every year, but every year they all 3 got the flu. They stopped getting them the flu shot and they stopped getting the flu. They just make a somewhat educated guess on what flu strains are going to go around, if they're wrong then the shot doesn't help. I rarely go to the doctor (which may bite me in the butt at some point), if you go for every little thing and get antibiotics regularly then your immune system will be weak. If you let your immune system do what is supposed to then it will be stronger and you won't get sick as often. As a teen (20+ years ago) I was on an antibiotic for acne, after I stopped taking it, it seemed like I constantly had a bit of a cold for a couple of years.
@@dustintunis9347 I had a few nurse friends tell me that when I got deathly sick for 2 solid weeks after a flu shot 2 years in a row, that the flu vax didn’t contribute to my sickness, I decided to not get that vaccine anymore. I’ve had the flu only twice in the last 17 years and I’ll gladly take those odds. I do appreciate nurses, teachers and police officers who do get it bc their exposure to others is extremely high.
Witness it bruh I done it, my wife is a nurse, and picking her up one night she asked me did I get a flu shot yet nope, and just like that I now gotten the flu shot in the hallway in a hospital
I'm glad it makes you feel better! I swore when I got out of the Army I was never getting another one because I'd be down for a month after it ever single time!
The military gives you way more serious stuff. But my job requires some serious shit like MMR and TDAP, which leaves you unable to use that arm for a couple of days. The flu vac is nothing like that.
My son had a severe reaction to a flu shot when he was in the Marine Corps. He was unconscious for 3 days, his roommate was out of town. When he didn’t show up for work on Mon they found him and took him to the hospital. Never had to get another vaccine again.
Yep. The one and only time I received the flu shot, I got the flu. Dealt with bronchitis for a month. I had no choice in the matter. Never got another one.
Haha! My pharmacy is like that. We all signed our paperwork and the pharmacist just went around and stabbed us while working lol. We got a sticker after lol.
Yep 100% My ex, my son's father, is terrified of needles and doctors. To the point where being there for me to give birth was incredibly anxiety inducing for him. He seriously has a fear of being randomly stabbed with meds or something. Like we don't even get the good shit, what makes you think they're going to just give it away to a random stranger?!
Well a lot of people have fears, they're often irrational. I hate needles. I'm scared of them and doctors. I kinda wish I haven't reminded my mum about some shot I missed when I was 18. Also for some reason I often feel different in hospitals. The air seems to smeel different. But idk when I start to faint, I become more sensitive to the smell for a moment before I pass out. It's weird because when I pass out, I first feel hot and dizzy, then I can't see anymore. Later I can't feel anymore. And the hearing goes away slowly. From hearing worlds sorta from a distance to not understanding them to kinda ringing in the ears. So idk why, for a moment, I'm more sensitive to the smell, only to lose all of my senses in a matter of a few seconds.
I'm not scared of doctors or the dentist like a lot of people but I am slightly afraid of needles and can't get a shot without flinching. Not as bad as my dad though. My dad searched far and wide for a dentist that would put him to sleep when working on his cavities instead of a needle to numb his mouth. Idk why. My dad had 2 sleeves of tattoos and multiple others so it seems weird that a thin, tiny needle would do him in like that.
@@veni5126 Fears are usually irrational. For me, I just can't get the idea out of my head that if I flinch or twitch at the wrong moment, the needle will break off under my skin or, worse, shatter. Objectively I know that is absurdly unlikely, but my stupid brain warns me about it every single time I face a hypodermic needle. It's not so bad that I can't hold still and let it happen, but the idea is *there* in my head and will not go away. When I was a teenager, I confessed this to my family doctor. He promptly responded, "Oh, I've only ever seen that happen once." Haha. Very funny, doc.
I used to work in a pharmacy. During flu season, they'd hand us the paperwork for the shot (shots always had paperwork for documentation purposes), then just roll up our sleeve, clean the injection site, and jab us. We did it away from patients but it was easier to just get it over with.
You get used to it, when it's shot season there's people just running around the hospital offering needles all around lol. Last time i missed it when she came to my ward so i had to chase her to the next ward, you literally just go "hey can you jab me" and 30 seconds later you're back on your ward lmao.
You literally have to hunt down the people giving the shots if you don’t. I was delivering meds to one of the emergency units and got mine done by a nurse down there real quick before I went to deliver to another unit.
My place of work has a flu shot clinic every year for us. We literally stand in the hall outside the admin assistant's office while the pharmacist from across the street jabs us. And the company owner brings her dog in so you get to pet him when you're done. 🤣 They also set up the COVID vaccinations for us. I don't always like my job, but it is a place where they take good care of employees.
I used to work at CVS. I had told them I definitely wanted a Covid vaccine. My manager came up to me out of the blue one day and asked me if I wanted to go get my shot. I went back to the pharmacy, got my shot and then just went back to work. Eh, not a big deal to me.
I've gotten a flu shot every year, and I will continue to get one every year. I've only had the flu 3 times in the last 17 years, and I've never gotten sick enough to need the ER. People forget that the flu kills people.
Unfortunately no one will give out free drugs with inflation what it is. Leave your drink and go dance, no worries, they can't get drugs to put in your drink, the door fee to the club, and the drink to put it in.
My grandfather is an ER doc and once I was at his condo and he asked my mom if I wanted a flu shot. She said yes and two seconds later I got the shot there in the kitchen lol.
I agree. Especially with the massive kncrease of cardiac arrest amongst the young. High school football players dropping dead. 20 something's dropping in football, soccer, fighters. Yep, glad i never fell for the lies.
@@jeffcampbell2710 I’m not sure what that has to do with anything. Since all the people you listed had to do with sports it sounds like death by overexertion or untreated sports injuries
Not how it works you are gonna get sick one day weather you like it or not. I rather take my chances with natural immunity than a man made injection. Also if you live in a non sterile environment you get a strong immune system.
I work in a hospital and for a few weeks each year we have a group of nurses that just patrol the hallways with a bucket of vaccine supplies looking for people who haven’t gotten their yearly jab yet.
My dialysis center hands them out yearly . Makes it easier for me I don’t have to worry about making an appointment, sitting and waiting, the trip there and the trip home. It’s one of the nice trades I get for being on dialysis.
@@angelbulldog4934You mean that doctor that falsified his results and made up all of that shit he put in his "paper"? Already know all about him. Sounds like YOU need to learn about mRNA vaccines and quit being a sheep that only consumes conspiracy theories three times a day.
When I was getting ready to discharge after my total hysterectomy they asked if I wanted the pneumococcal vaccine...I got it, vaccine and pneumonia! Five days later was back in the hospital.
@@Phroggster You ether get it or you don't it is part of life. We all are gonna die from something. I rather have natural immunity than a man made injection. I don't trust the medical community at all. I only come when I need them and is not something I can treat myself. Such as a a torn ACL and a miniscus. I can't treat that. But I can treat myself when I get sick or even better keep your immune system strong in the first place. I get a cold I sweat it out same with any virus I have caught.
"You just gonna LET-" Let me stop you just a moment. Am I in a hospital? Is that a licensed medical professional? Can I record their name for my records? Do they have a coworker to vouch for them? Yes? Now this is the most important, do I have to pay? No? HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT FIRE AWAY 🔥
Every time I got the flu shot I would up with the flu and in bed for weeks.. ever since I stopped getting it and upped my vitamin c.. I have not got sick and have not catched a cold. I feel great.
You cannot get the flu from the flu shot... If you were getting that sick for that long after a non live vaccine you need to get checked out. It could be an allergic or autoimmune response that needs to be addressed. - signed, someone with a rare immune condition that causes occasional weird vaccine responses
I went to the doctor yesterday for a check up. She offered me a free flu shot in the appointment and I was like, “Sure, go for it” Her face turn to horror and she stared at me for a few seconds before asking again. I said yes again. She said that she was surprised by my nonchalant because most either get scared and cover their arms while saying no or nervously say yes then scream before she puts the needle in. I’ve had so many needles stuck into my body from a ridiculous amount of blood tests, I’m kinda immune at this point.
I don't know all the ingredients in my favorite foods, just that it tastes good. I don't know all the ingredients in my dog's food, just that the vet recommends it. I don't know what's in the flu shot, just that I don't get the flu when I have it. I'm a simple woman.
@@PB-uy1mkwell you go there and study 5 years of biology, pharmacy, nutrition, VetMed, since you cant do what who studied that say, only what you think yourself, dont forget you Med School
@P B There’s a difference between refusing to think for yourself and knowing when you don't know wtf you're talking about. Do you fix your own car when it's broken? Do you treat your own animals when they're sick? Some things require years of school or experience. Thinking you know better than a literal professional is delusional and, quite frankly, sad.
Bro I had to make an appointment and STILL waited 30 minutes for my flu shot. The envy I have right now that ER nurses can get them like a co-worker getting you a cup of coffee.
Because they're actively seeing patients. You WANT nurses and doctors to get flu shots this easily. In truth it's never this easy. We have to get in line and get it during certain times in the week. We come to them. Not the other way around.
30 minutes. Just enough time for me to change my mind and run away lol. l hate needles and I take only the mandatory ones (which I'm not sure I'd be taking if it was my choice). I prefer getting sick for a few days every half a year than getting a flu-shot every year. Even if one flu-shot was enough for 5 years, I wouldn't take it.
I wasn’t allowed to get flu shots because of allergic reactions growing up. That was until my grandma was on her death bed. It was get a flu shot or don’t see her.
Or be the smart one and do your own research before you call people dumb or crazy. Then they can still disagree or agree. But you will know which one you are.
I've been getting a flu shot since I was in the Air Force 1981. So I'm going on 41 years. I've not been sick since. The only time I got sick is when I got the 1st shingles shots.
How many shingles shots are there? I want my husband and I to go get ours. I've heard so many stories about the pain that come with shingles, and I don't want any part of that. Also, not to be too nosy, but did you have to pay for yours? I'm just wondering how expensive they are. We are uninsured and it would be out of pocket. Thanks!
@Randi Bagley-Goodwin Yes I didn't have too pay for. The 1st series I got from the Veterans Administration hospital. The 2nd series was the Shingrix vaccine. I received it from Walgreens. If you had chicken pox you should get it. It's an expensive shot. When I got it was about $150. to $180. for both shots per person.
@@randibgood if you're over 65 all vaccines are going to be covered with just Medicare starting next year. But otherwise they are kinda high. But shingles is bad.
@@randibgood It's gonna vary greatly from place to place. I work in pharmacy and can tell you that we only use the new series called Shringrix which is around $200 dollars where I work. The real problem is that in order to complete the series you need to get a second shot in 2-6 months after the first. This is also gonna cost $200 so you're looking at $400 per person to finish it. They say it's 99% effective so it's definitely good to get. If you're willing to pay then I suggest shopping around for the cheapest place since you'll have to pay it 4x times.
@@chipperniyalee That's what I had seen online. That's great that you got the first through the VA. If you ask me, ALL healthcare should be free for veterans for life. I believe we should have universal healthcare for everyone, actually, but especially for veterans. The cheapest I've found the Shingrix for is 170. Glad you got yours! Stay healthy and safe this holiday season! Thanks again!
“What’s in that thing?” Mostly either a dead version of the virus or the component the virus is identified by the body with, plus water and maybe some small amount of preservative that helps keep it shelf stable but isn’t harmful to you. That’s the basic components to most vaccines.
There's also a small amount of a signaling chemical that essentially tells your immune system that it's training time. It's the same signal chemical your own cells make when they're infected or dying - it lets the immune system know that there's a threat that needs to be destroyed. Dead viruses won't infect cells, so that "red alert! man your battle stations!" signal won't be triggered naturally. Without it, the immune system won't recognize the dead virus as a serious threat and won't do all that immune building we want it to do.
@@Notiravgsarah The major spikes start around late Nov into December, so they’re not that late. Sorta started early and will likely be worse where I’m at, in Texas, because there’s a bunch of antivax idiots.
You don't what's in 99% of the food/ drinks you consume either. Do you know what's in any medication you take? Didn't think so. Quit listening to social media Drs and talk to your primary care physician
@@SheilaR.08 you are obviously a libturd shill. As many as 45,000 people a month are dying from strokes that weren’t dying from strokes before the vaccine. So either you’re just ignorant and don’t know that or you’re completely well-informed and part of the evil plans.
I do and I study any medication I take before taking them. I have a surgery in one month and I am not have general anesthesia and am gonna talk with the anesthesiologist what drugs I want for sadation since the surgeon sadly doesn't want me awake. I am wanting to go for a mix of Xanax and ketamen since they have the least amount of side affects. Xanax keeps you calm like versed except minus the memory loss and chance of getting dementia later in life. Ketamen just makes you sleep in correct doses. Study what you take and what you eat.
Having the flu is a nightmare y'all. I couldn't roll over without getting winded one time for 7 hours after I woke up. Never been hospitalized though. Get the shot. It's so much better than being unable to move properly for a few days.
Me too. The last time I got one wa 17 years ago. I am terrified of them because they made me so sick when I was a kid. I understand the purpouse of vaccines but I just can't make myself get one
I got one every year I was in the military (because I had to), and I got super sick every time. I hate being told "the flu shot doesn't make you sick" because it absolutely does make people sick. So glad I'm not alone in this!
Me too, even the girl who injected me said she would never would get a jab, I only understand what she meant after I got sick 💀 after that never again any shot, not me not my kid.
I swear the doctor that took care of me about a year and a half ago was terrified I’d react this way 😂. I sliced my finger lengthwise all the way down to the bone, and had to have it glued back together. Sadly, it had been over a decade since my previous tetanus shot, so when he came back and told me this, and I asked “can I get that done here?” He visibly relaxed lol. When I left he said “you’re a real trooper! Just try not to be so clumsy from now on!” Lol.
Me Too! I crushed my right forefinger, nail instantly came off, bone crushed, still can only bdnd it barely. It'll never be good again. But, i to Tetna shot. The pain on my left side just a few hours earlier was extremely bad. Lost vision in my left eye. Took 5 weeks for it to pass. Made me very glad i didnt take the other stuff.
Hubby is the same. He hasn’t gotten one in ages. I have different issues with them so neither have I. I’m also disabled and almost never leave my house.
Been masking years B4 COVID cuz I can't do vax either. I laughed when ppl said masks don't work. Maybe not a piece of cloth, but real surgical masks def work!
Same a couple hours after the shot then it's over. I still get them every year but only because I know if I get the flu I'm probably going to have more than one seizure. 🤦♀️
@@tifjohnson4358CDC and other studies showed surgical masks don't work with viruses the size of covid. Other hospital studies have shown that improper use and lack of changing leads to higher risk of bacterial and upper respiratory infections. With that being said, masks worn by the sick do decrease the rate at which they spread contagions.
Has Austin came out the closet yet? I seen one episode where he said he was not gay…This channel showed up in my feed and now I’m trying to play catch up with the clips.
It never fails for me. Every year I get a flu shot, I get sick. When I don't, I don't. So I stopped getting them 5 years ago. Haven't had the flu since
The flu shots are dead or nerfed flu virus. If you were exposed to the flu before or soon after the shot, the virus reactivates. It has a potential to be worse than normal flu exposure. Vaccines are not supposed to be given to sick or exposed people. By the time most people get the flu shot, they have already likely been exposed.
Correlation /= causation, especially on an anecdotal level. If you don't want to get the flu shot, fine. But don't advertise it like it's some miracle cure with zero scientific backing to influence others' medical decusions.
