This is what I learned today and looked further into Nov. 24th

Today I have learned from the site Antibiotics Are a Gift to Be Handled With Care that there's more to antiobiotics then just swalloing the pill and having the results you'd like. I decided to do this article because i've been on my fair share of antoibiotics and I was curious if all my thoughts were accurate with antiobiotics and they were very similair. You really can't ever go on an antiobiotic without discovering the possibility of getting a risk of some side effect. Putting an antiobotic into your body can cause many problems but it can also do a lot for you. The key point you always have to rememer about antiobiotics is you have to take them only when there suscribed or truly needed. There not something you just pop in cause you want a quick fix, antoibiotics do take time it just also depends what you're taking them for. One fear fact that I did learn that I didn't know is people think for coughs and ear infections and viral infections that they need to take an antibiotic when really researchers think that is bad for you. And because antoibiotics are so strong that could harm you because it won't be helping the area you are trying to get better. Antoibiotics are only for bacterial infections.

This what I learned 9 days ago (Nov.16th)

Today I have learned from the site "When It’s the Nurse Who Needs Looking After" I feel now a days were paying and trusting doctors more than we should. There's a huge amount of expectations we have lost in doctors because we believe they know what there doing and because they have a degree to be there. But really is having a degree saying enough? Just because there smart enough to get questions correct and know the main idea of what there doing, do they really do every one of those things there suppose to? Or are patients not getting the right treatments there suppose to have and not getting the correct attention or check ups/ check ins. I'm not saying every doctor is like this, and I'm not saying doctors are bad but I am saying from the tendency of forgetting to remove surgical parts out of there bodies or leaving chemicals inside there body after surgically enclosing them back up. But in this specific article it relates and talks more about maybe some of our doctors who are looking after us, Need to be checked in on as well. We have doctors of all ages, and as a doctor to a doctor they should be checking in on one another as well, it's the safest way to go. Especially when there are certain nights that they are short on staff. Many doctors seem to put it all in for the patients and don't pay enough attention to there own health, and then some pay not enough attention on our patients and more to themselves.

Dumplings are on me this year

For the first time ever I had to be ready to be prepared to make a majority of the food for thanksgiving. My grandma usually made everything and would just have a little bit of help, But since my grandparents had moved to Florida, My family was counting on someone to make them, and I had been the only one who ever truly observed the proper way of making her dumplings. I decided to practice before thanksgiving just to be sure I could get it down, Keep in mind the first time I began was almost midnight.. I had taken the bag of flour not pay attention and dumped it on the floor, missing the bowl by far, I sat there and just smirked at myself. I decided to leave it on the floor just until I was finished with everything. I then took the salt and sugar and put it in the bowl, I took the sifter and cracked the egg inside it because you're suppose to have the egg yoke slightly greated through out, to make it easier to kneed, later on towards the end. I didn't realize the bottom comes on and off and as i was walking to the other end of the kitchen it had slowly dripped all over the kitchen floor, I was in shock of how much of a mess I had been making that night, I still had not cleaned it up right away because to me, why clean if  you may just continue to be messy? It's best to wait until everythingelse is done. I took the bread crumbs next and splattered those all around the bowl. Next I had grabbed the jar of dry yeast and took out the amount it needed and all I had remembered my Grandma mentioning was the word "disolve" as in disolving sugar and yeast together. And to me disolve can mean several different things, Such as spreading through something, or having something melt or get combined into a liquid object. At that moment, I wondered how you could dissolve dry yeast and sugar together.. I put that in the sifter as well, completely not realizing i never put the trapper back on the bottom and as I walked back to the bowl I had spilt everything all over the floor, I just laughed. I then go get a wisk to mix it all together, I am wondering why it is so dry so I had a little bit of water to make it a bit gushier. It still doesn't give it the right fluff, I could not remember what I was forgetting. As I'm sitting there thinking I hear foot steps coming down the stairs and I was staying at my moms old friends house, He comes down stairs and turns the corner and didn't see the mess, Instead he stepped in it, Just my luck. I sat there and acted like I didn't realize what he did, He then states my name and I slowly turn my head with a response of yes, as he slowly starts walking towards me im only considering the worse he said go get a mop and clean this up and I was in shock that's all he said so I hop out of the chair go grab it and when i get back to the kitchen he was gone. Before I could take the mop out of the bucket someone comes up behind me knocking the nerve in my leg that makes you fall and I fall in the mess I had created, He begins laughing at me and I was just disgusted. On the bright side of this story I figured out my missing ingredient was the milk and I re-created a brand new bach, after my shower of course and The dumplings came out just like my grandmas!
If you ever want to make these amazing dumplings all you need is 4 cups of Flour,1 cup of Milk, 2 Eggs, 1/4 cup of Bread crumbs, 1Tsp of salt, 1 pkg of dry yeast (if you buy the jar portion it says how much 1 pkg is considered it is usually about 1/4 of an oz) , and 1 tsp of sugar and to finish add 1/4 cup of  warm water, and then just mix it and kneed into it and let it sit for about an hour to let it rise. You can either make 2 big ones or some medium size ones but however you lay them out to sit for an hour is how you need to leave them. Once you're done with that boil some water and place them in. These ingredients will only make you one batch, so if you want more you just need to double the ingredients and how many are in your batch depends on how big you make them but you can't make them to small or they could break on you.

This is what I learned today- Nov. 11th

Today, I read an article titled "Poor Pain Control for Cancer Patients".  From this article, I learned there are a lot of stubborn people in this world, but also very wise ones at the same time. People who were diagnosed with cancer were able to step away from that fact and accept themselves, but at the same time the pain would get to them, to the point it'd bring them down. One third of the patients felt they needed more painkillers to help with there pain. A month after the patients saw their oncologists, the researchers again asked the patients about their pain. Instead of showing improvements, the percentage of patients who continued to be in pain remained unchanged. It was amazing how much the mind and researchers thought the pills were working, when in reality what they thought was a "cure" really wasn't anything but a pill to get swallowed or a needle to be injected with and the mind believeing it helped. It amazes me how low the health field is getting, especially when you're giving a product out to patients and believeing its helping them when really it's doing nothing but keeping them in the same pain as they've been sitting through. We pay doctors to help people and there level of lazyness needs to end. Many doctors may simply hesitate to take on the heavy responsibility of monitoring a patient and it almost seems they do or give a patient whatever the main product is without really looking at there symptoms.

This is what I learned today

Today I read an article titled "Ensuring nothings left behind"  From this article I learned if there are certain tools and objects left behind there could be bacteria that floats amongst the room and could cause other patients to catch onto that virus of bacteria. Worse than that every year they have estimated around 4,000 cases of "retained surgical items" have remained left inside a patient. What amazes me is how especially being Doctors, how careless you could be to shut something germ invested into someone's body. “In most instances, the patient is completely helpless,” How doctors could say such things Like this and stay so calm, confuses me very much, so. We trust doctors to know what there doing, and they get paid very well. They had finally came up with a solution where they count sponges to see if any have been left behind when there done with there procedures. The only problem with that has been doctors have lost track or forgot to re-scan it. Since every sponge has a barcode it is used to help keep track of who there used for and how many to prevent it from giving false bacteria or particles brought into another person.
