UPDATE

June 29, 2004

Woody,

You have had the military exposure and if that is

backed up by some remote working then I suspect

you will be a Pile 1 or Pile 2 on the vote

category. It's a case of submitting your portfolio

as part of the application and then working from

there. If you have sufficient remote work, then

you would be in Pile 1 straight away.

Any further questions, please fire away.

Cheers,

Ross

Hi Jim,

Surely there is some confusion in your last post? If by your

reference to the 'NMC' you mean Nursing and Midwifery Council then

this is the governing body that lays down the professional guidelines

for Nurses. It is the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) or UNISON who

would provide benefits, or professional/legal representation and not

the NMC. It is the NMC that keeps the register of nurses and

midwives, and can decide whether an individual is struck off. RCN or

UNISON would be the professional organisation defending a member

under such circumstances.

Regards,

Ged H.

> 3. I feel that a professional body would be a good idea, as a

member of the NMC, I get all the benefits from this organisation e.g

representation, legal aid, but most importantly a code of conduct to

work within. As a profession, and thats what we are, a profession

allied to medicine remote medics need this form of organisation. As

a nurse, if the worst happened, and my practice is safe and within

guidelines and protocols laid down by the NMC, then I can stand up in

court and say so, with the backing of the NMC. Remote medics can only

utilise whatever individual professional body we are members of, or

rely on medical indemnity policies. The above do not, and would not

carry the same clout as a professional body with clear protocols and

guidelines, with all the members intrests at heart. I also think the

t-shirt would look cool on holiday.

Ross

I dont know if you got my earlier question about how to best go about setting

myself up for a career as a remote medic. I'm currently an EMT in London and

could really do with some pointers about how to make myself more employable

as a remote medic. Can I do it as state registered Paramedic (when

qualified), and what additional quals would be preferable. Should I wait and

study for

the new ECP qual?

I realise that I am a few years off yet, but I just want to make sure that I

am going down the right line.

Many Thanks

Tom

Bonnie,

How wonderful to read the good things that seem to be beginning to happen for

you and your family!!! I do know what a long haul it is when we're going

thru such things. Here's to 2005 bringing new beginnings and success for all of

us and ours...

Love ya,

Wow , I admire your dedication to the natural way to treat the sick

ones. I wish I could be that way.I used to be totally allopathic until I was

damaged by 2 vaccinations. I have 4 kids 3 were totally vaccinated until I was

damaged,then my 4th has not had any shots but the ones at 2 months. I wish I

knew before those shots.I have had a lot of problems with my little one

though. she has been chronically sick with bronchitis,ear

infections,asthma,etc. I

was given those 2 shots and 2 months later became pregnant. My body is messed

up and I think that her body is also messed up from the shots that I got.

they damaged me and when she was conceived my body was at its weakest point. I

have been struggling between the allopathic way and the natural way since she

was born. it has been really hard on me being disabled and trying to care

for her being sick all the time. I nursed her for 2 years and still she was so

sick. those shots are horrible. If anyone wants to hear more please write, I

could go on and on! I have found a happy medium between both ways and am

STILL trying to go natural and undo the brainwashing I got over the years. love

Janet

<<<<<she has been chronically sick with bronchitis,ear

infections,asthma,etc.>>>>>>>

Janet, birth trauma can cause some of this too. If you haven't

already, get her adjusted (if needed) by a chiropractor that

knows how to adjust infants/toddlers.

Dear ,

Sorry haven't replied before but have been fighting my own war just different area of the body right now. You go girl. My new years resolution was what ever it takes to be heard and have someone listen and understand.

I am so very much older than you and I don't know if that it is it or what. I am so tired of not being heard not just the words that you speak the all of it. It just seems that we all have got into the habit of cocking our head to one side as if we are listening and our minds tend to be 50 thousand miles away. I don't know if it is just me but I seem to have a huge problem with this especially with me and since most of my doctors are men the wheel just keeps going motion.

I know that at times I whine and go on forever about silly things, but then sometimes when it comes to my body I just tend to take what ever they say and say oh well, just my luck. Maybe it was something Sue wrote but I vow never again. I am trying to learn to put the small stuff aside but the big things (my health being the biggest I am not going to take no for an answer,

No one knows your body as well as you do and you know what you can deal with and what you can't. You know when something is driving you crazy and someone needs to listen and pay close attention.

Everything with my icd is ok at the moment beside the constant pain and the moving around all the time. Mine is my Acclayshia, this has been going on for 5 years of better the last 2 have been unbearable. Several doctors later and now another new hospital and still no relief. They say how often are you throwing up after you eat and I say every meal and they say no really how often are you throwing up. Wow really so do you throw up after you eat each meal. I decide the other day to invite my new specialist to breakfast, lunch and dinner and then ask him how often I throw up.

See you are not the only one, don't stop asking questions and wanting answers make them listen. Enough is enough.

Love,

Hi ,

We love to hear from you and you can never monopolize us........as someone else said at some time or other we all need to get things out and be heard. Well this is your turn and don't ever feel bad about it.

Hi everyone...I got super frustrated yesterday and decided to stop grumbling and DO something! My son drove me to my GP'S office and I walked in (no appointment) and said that I needed to see her immediately.She listened to me and understood the level of frustation that I was at...considering I had tears streaming down my face and could barely talk, that wasn't an easy task in itself. She up'd my Toprol and vowed to call my EP and explain that something had to be done...and agreed to follow up with me in 3 days. I left feeling heard--which is priceless in book! I am still sending in events throughout the day...and will call my EP Doc tomorrow if I haven't heard from him before then.Just wanted to update you all and thank you again for all the wonderful suggestions and support. I realize I have monopolized the board here lately...but thank you for your kind patience. Hopefully I can repay to each of you the kindness and love you've demonstrated to me.much love,

I am soooo glad you had a good cry at the Drs office and you were HEARD! Good job. Now hopefully they will all follow through quickly....

P.S. Keep us posted - it gives us something to read! You are always an inspiration to s all - now we can try and help you!

Sharon, if you are throwing up after every meal wouldn’t that

basicly be as dangerous as bolemia?

And wouldn’t you be losing nutrients

that your body and heart need to function properly? That sounds really

scarey to me!!

I admit tho that I don’t have a clue

what Acclayshia is. Maybe you could clue me in.

reduced my ace maker from working 99% of the time to 75% of the time

the palpatations and skiped beats and fluttering are driveing me nuts

i can hardly stand it any more ..when my pace maker was working

99% of the time i felt none of these things that are taking away any quality of life

i had before they made the adjustment..now im called a troublemaker and non compliant

you cry anf fight as much as it takes..why ar we afraid to speak up ..my wife died

last year of being a dibetic from the age of 13 ...she died at the age of 60

and had all of the effects of a long term diebetic and i fought for her every time

she had to go to the hospital now there is no one left to fight for me and i was a union

president and fought for1200 people day and night and cant seem to speak up

for myself ...my life is a living hell...i have a insynic pace maker /defibralator and

congestive heat faliure and when i speak for myself im called a trouble maker

Fred, Have you considered talking to an Attorney? If pacing 99% of the time is required for you to get by, then that should be the setting.
