In these days of loot by most medical institutions , across the world (including my own country India where things has moved the US way)...there is one institution in my beloved dear motherland which serves as an example for the whole world. This Institution provides "Pediatric cardiac care" with Love and free to all patients. Not even the stay and food is charged . And the environment is wonderfully positive and vibrant which instils immense confidence in and gives happiness to patients / relatives and the entire staff. Do visit "https://srisathyasaisanjeevani.org". In-fact a full fledged medical college shall be coming up soon, which shall impart free medical education to all students. Some Nursing institutions are already in place providing free Nursing courses.
The reason am narrating this is after reading all these comments, i felt we all are complaining (rightfully so )about the state of medicare in our countries. This post is to share that "yes" there is a beacon of hope and we can participate in our own ways ,in our own communities /lands and contribute in once again making medicare sacred and loving profession.
Sorry about your Flu bug Bill, but it is good to see that the flu is still alive and well after being taken over by the Covid bug for a couple of years. Welcome back!
It seems the Fed is bound and determined to go big on the recession they are brewing. After all, isn't that the best way to have wage growth slow or even drop? It also seems like a good way to keep the cost of fuel from hitting the stratosphere. Good 'ol demand destruction at its finest. Powell will definitely keep the Fed's 100% successful track record going...Will this be 12 out of 12 or just 11 out of 11? I can't keep track.
Bill, glad you are feeling better. Your essay today made me think of my first car. It was a 1967 Kharmann Ghia that my mom passed down. It needed some mechanical, electrical and body work. Perfect for a tinkerer like myself. I put in a lot of sweat equity (poetic homage to your flu sweats) to make it a cool car for a teenager. The funny thing about the car is that after about 3 years of TLC it started having shudders a few months before the engine seized. Was it the fuel pump? Was it the carburetors or was it the electrical or was it piston rings, etc.? I was not and am not a trained mechanic. So I bet some of my "adjustments" created some of the issues. Anyway, the warning signs from its erratic behavior and volatility were there. I feel the same way about the stock market and our economy. It is shuddering and its volatility is becoming more erratic by the day. It feels like a metaphorical engine seize is coming.
One thing we can count on. Going forward the picture painted by the government and the media of how our economy is doing will be pure distortion and lies, that after decades of only partial distortion and lies. But the stories will still be picked up and retold every day, under the assumption the numbers are accurate.
If Biden runs I don't see any way he will agree to one debate, much less more than one. It's so infuriating that the intelligence level of the masses in this country is so low they don't see how Biden is no way running things. Everyone should keep voting as you say, but I don't know how much good it will do.
"Eventually, age and treachery triumphed over the doctor’s youth and skill" should read "Eventually, stubbornness and stupidity triumphed over the doctor’s youth and skill". I bet your wife wasn't too pleased with your decision. I have had two male members of my family ignore a doctor's advice to go to the hospital and decide to "tough it out" at home. Both died, causing immense heartache to their family. Bill, think of the effect on your family if you died when you make these decisions. Still, glad you are well again and back writing your excellent posts!
If convid showed us anything, it illustrated that the medical "professionals" are not all they're cracked up to be and furthermore, many (most?) have no problem with lying, mis-diagnosing/mis-prescribing or just plain malfeasance by "going along with the herd."
This is NOT a good situation for many of us who are approaching the age where we might start to need quality, accurate and compassionate medical care in order to survive and thrive.
I was led my entire life to believe that Doctors, Nurses and Hospitals were some of the most trustworthy people and Institutions (businesses) in our Country. The last 3 years have proven that to be a completely WRONG assumption - many (most?) of these individuals and organizations threw their Hippocratic Oath straight out the window for either money or job security. The truth about the "virus and pandemic" was out there, and MANY of us found it in time. Why did so many health "professionals" turn a blind eye to data and facts that didn't match the government and big pharma narrative? Hmmmmm.
For better or worse, I'm with Bill on this one. The VAST majority of doctors et al have proven to NOT be worthy of our blind trust, or indeed, any trust at all. After all, hospitals are full of sick people. Probably best to avoid at all cost...
Couldn't agree more, all but a few doctors globally toed the line due to cowardice, laziness, hysteria, politics, virtue signalling & incompetence. The profession sadly exposed itself for what it is.
The zeal with which some pushed covid tyranny on TV in my country (UK) is something I will never forget.
Agree entirely. During WW2 here in UK I caught pneumonia whilst in the cold, damp air-raid shelter I was 3months old. My mother and aunt used age old (natural) methods to get me well...they couldn’t afford to pay doctors then (it was six years before the NHS was born ) My left lung was damaged ...it has plagued me ever since...I tend to get bouts of pneumonia in our cold damp Winters...however, I never go in Hospital. Just take to my bed....use those same age old methods and thanks to God and my wonderful kind family, I’m still here at 82yrs of age. Freedom to determine which methods we use in taking care of our health is an individual choice. It’s a precious freedom even if others disagree ...half of my vast family disagree with my choices, but they would defend to the death my right to choose , as , indeed I would do the same for them if they wished to use hospital facilities ...So, Take your time getting back to your old self Bill. ! Don’t forget our respective ages! We’re on the last lap anyway eh, so who cares? Lol. ps. At my last health checkup I was told, apart from the clapped out lung , I had the overall metabolism of a 50 yr old, (I’ve done ballet exercises all my life which may, or may not, have something to do with it?) Also, in spite of bringing seven kids into the world and not having an “easy” life as the eldest was born with cerebral palsy...I swear by always trying to look on the bright side of every situation, rather than being negative, but hey ho. We all use different methods to cope in this crazy world. I’m grateful for every (laboured) breath and love life (as I’m sure Bill does...) ...so don’t be too hard on us oldies...we’re imperfect like every other human being on this planet.....we try to do our best....faith, Hope & love and the greatest of these is love
This is to Tim as well as you Starboard: My wife's 85 year old Mom has a great one-liner that seems apropos for this exchange. She's fond of saying, "Not all Doctors finished at the top of their class."
When I was young, doctors were their own bosses and made decisions based on their medical knowledge and needs of their patients, who they probably knew well. Today, most of the doctors are medical company employees and are heavily influenced by their company policies and the company's desire to maximize profit, health insurance company requirements, and government edicts. They probably don't know their patients very well. Thus, I think that many doctors are trapped into making decisions not in the best interests of the patient
I agree with your comment, except that the flu is a major killer of older folks like Bill, so I still think he should have deferred to the doctor. But all turned out OK.
1. I was not intending to blame doctors/nurses/hospitals for convid itself. That distinction goes to the ringleaders (Fraudshi, Gates, CDC, NIH, WHO, DjT to some extent and dozens of complicit others we will never find out about.) I AM blaming the "health care apparatus" for ignoring their Oath and turning on a dime to support, endorse and disseminate whatever their paymasters told them to - which is being proven more every day to have been erroneous information in the extreme.
2. To call the vaccines a success at this point seems a bit premature and very likely completely incorrect. How many have to die before the "vaxx-touters" will admit that the experimental substance that was injected into millions is now killing tens of thousands, and we're still very early in the game? Surely you have seen the factual data regarding increases in infertility, miscarriages, blood clots, myocarditis, strokes, etc. And the CDC just announced in the last few days that 58%+ of convid deaths over the last quarter have been among the "vaccinated." A success? Utterly wrong. Tell that to the thousands of people who have lost a loved one from the newly-minted disease called Sudden Adult Death Syndrome, to cite just one example of the horrible fall-out from this evil scam.
I respect you PG, but NO sir - you can keep the lying sheep doctors, greedy hospitals and "overwhelmed" nurses dancing on tik tok - and best of luck to you.
PS - Surely this is all just propaganda and a massive conspiracy theory...
My first cousin is a retired EMT-Paramedic that worked a lot of his career in the Colorado Springs area. He asked me if I was jabbed right before telling me he refused it. What you say about the problems is absolutely happening at increasingly alarming rates. I know anecdotal information is, well, anecdotal, but he was telling me about several family members that are having problems they never had before getting vaccinated. I'm knocking wood as I write this because against my better judgment (and because I wouldn't have been admitted to an Eagles concert in Atlanta) I took the shot. Never again will I do that.
Yup - you truly are done on this issue. Everything you wrote is basically wrong and not based in facts or reality - starting with the fact that Rumble is a VIDEO HOSTING website (just like YouTube) and doesn't publish any content of their own that I know of. Yet you belittle them without even knowing what they do. Your first sentence is actually laughable on its face and well below your typical posting standard.
Second, the VIDEO I linked to is FULL TO THE BRIM with facts and data from the CDC and NIH that proves what a complete hoax the the "vaccines" are, but only "trust the science" when it's convenient, eh PG? Stay stubbornly ignorant as tens of thousands continue to die around us and the mainstream media you so love to hate continues to blame it on anything and everything but what is really causing the slaughter - the experimental "vaccine" FORCED on millions of formerly-free people.
Just like the Ukraine dim money-laundering, Nazi-supporting farce, you are too full of yourself to even LOOK at competing information, though it be the stuff of Facts, Data and Truth. Remind you of anyone else's attitude we consistently deride? Insert progtarde here.
Quoting US-based researcher Andrew Huff's statement in the British newspaper The Sun. In his latest book, "The Truth About Wuhan," epidemiologist Huff claims that the pandemic was caused by the US government's funding of coronaviruses in China.
Mr Huff is the former vice president of the Eco Health Alliance, a non-profit organization based in New York that studies infectious diseases.
"China knew from day one that this was a genetically engineered agent," Huff wrote. "The US government is to blame for the transfer of dangerous biotechnology to the Chinese. I was terrified by what I saw, we were just handing them bioweapon technology," he added.
I'm sure all the government/media Truth's/Facts on the vaccine are as honest as the denial of China's/America's involvement in creating Covid...just as you took the jab, continue drinking the homemade Koolaide...it's so tasty going down!
I had Covid in October, four weeks of what Bill describes. The last time I was in a hospital, they gave me a heart attack with negligent IV administration. That was 15 years ago.
At the inception of Covid they treated with intubation and killed many. My wife and daughter worked in hospitals, I avoid them. I would rather die at home.
Thanks for your insight. The last time I was a hospital patient, Eisenhower was the president. I don't know anyone who works in a hospital. Maybe my viewpoint of hospitals needs recalibration!
I think you would be sorely disappointed at the current state of being a hospitalized patient nowadays. God help you if they discover you haven’t been vaccinated with a mRNA Covid-19 vaxx either. Then it’s no soup or visits for you!
Yes Bill, some sort of flu like symptoms, but not the flu, not Covid, not sure? I agree, as do millions of families round the world, that hospitals are where you go to die, as they witnessed themselves. Our medical system has been corrupted like everything else in America, government, media, education etc, and how our doctors were forced to follow the corrupt narrative is a perfect example of our not so great reset. Trust In your own judgment and know your still above ground due to your intuition.
These comments inspire another question. How do you get elected as an independent and get to caucus with dems? Seems you would caucus with other independents. Guess they are moderates, which means they stand for nothing!!! Or am I missing the point? Just sayin'

PS I personally think the Biden boys are stealing from Medicare and moving it to Medicaid in order to push all to obamacare and f--k us all.
If you stop to notice, feds are destroying Medicare for most people. Medicare advantage, according to my sources, say this plan will take you off Medicare and will probably not let you back on. Less return for doctors so they say no more Medicare patients. Thanks to Biden, he is destroying access to Medicare by getting these personalities to advertise Medicare Advantage as a Federal program and again, according to my sources, they are not a Federally recognized program. You will lose your Medicare for a trip to find out if you are in the right zip code, can I get my eyeglasses on Medicare or maybe my hearing aids. Nope, again according to my sources!! Just sayin'
I am wondering the same thing! I receive continuous phone calls and mailings to sign up for Medicare Advantage. It must be extremely profitable for the companies that run these plans. Extremely profitable to me translates to cheap, lousy healthcare. In any case, I would never buy anything that Joe Namath was trying to sell me! I am sticking with regular Medicare with a "Medigap" insurance policy.
A short time ago you mentioned about a philosophy of giving things away to people who don't contribute. It was two words based on a Scottish philosopher from the twentieth century.
I was going to save the two words so I wouldn't forget them but I forgot.
I had covid what a joke. It was sniffles and they charged me $180.00 to tell me that. What a racket.
Hey bro, I had it four times, three like a cold and Delta like a really bad flu. Very strange, made in China, supported by American slime, flu 😷
agreed !
“House prices have been going down for 3 months. But rising interest rates make them more expensive” !
Precious observation
Hope you're back to full fitness soon, Bill.

Thanks PG V, that was easy
Keep track of your blood oxygen to tell you when you need some support.
Don't be stubborn and go to the hospital when they tell you.
We need you to stay around and keep writing.
Glad you're feeling better.

Hello Bill,
A short time ago you mentioned about a philosophy of giving things away to people who don't contribute. It was two words based on a Scottish philosopher from the twentieth century.
I was going to save the two words so I wouldn't forget them but I forgot.
What were they?
