Gotta Love it!

I just can't get over the sheer arrogance that our esteemed nurses display.  I had to grab the following post, verbatim, from here;  A conversation about Versed - Kitchen Table Forum - GardenWeb 

This is from sleeperblues.  These people INSTANTLY show up anywhere Versed is mentioned in the negative.  Enjoy the foray into an egotistical brain.  There's another post on this same thread that I will delve into at a later time.  If you go over to the above link, can you guess which post it might be?

"Doctors prefer you to be knocked out so they don't have to deal with you, IMO" is an irresponsible statement. There are so many things to consider with each surgery/procedure/sedation/anesthesia that you don't know or understand. "Take your medical care into your hands"? Really? Good luck with that.
I almost didn't post to this thread, because there are so many, many things to consider and I really had to make sure what I was posting was understandable. This is a complex subject and people study for years and years to provide these services.
Being informed is one thing, but being "informed" without the education to back it up is dangerous"

"Doctors prefer you to be knocked out so they don't have to deal with you, IMO" is and irresponsible statement."  No honey it's NOT an irresponsible statement.  For you to say this is a complete lie, opinion or not.  The truth is that this is EXACTLY why we are given Versed.  Why else would you people get so insane over the FACT that a lot of people have a horrid reaction to Versed? Yet, Versed is used on EVERYBODY for spurious, made up reasons!  Don't lie.  My crna said that he used Versed on 99% of his patients including me, who had declined it vigorously.  YOU GUYS like it.  It's not for our benefit.  There is no drug on the planet that 99% of people should have.

I absolutely LOVE this statement as it's a perfect example of what is wrong in the anesthesia department.  "There are so many things to consider with each surgery/procedure/sedation/anesthesia that you don't know or understand."  OH MY FREAKIN GOD!  Have you EVER read a more arrogant and sanctimonious sentence in your life?  When it comes to Versed, the only thing that is on their minds is how soon can I shoot this poison Versed into the patient!  You aren't "considering" a single thing.  What a crock!  As for the "you don't know or understand" part of the sentence, doesn't that tell you just what they REALLY think about patients?  You as a patient are just too stupid to live.  There is no way to follow INFORMED CONSENT LAW because you patients are too dull witted and ignorant to understand. 

"I almost didn't post to this thread, because there are so many, many things to consider and I really had to make sure what I was posting was understandable."  Really.  (droll voice)  I'm wondering what part of this ENTIRE post this person felt wouldn't be "understandable."  The part where they think they are a demi-God, deigning to grace us with their wisdom?  But WHERE'S THE WISDOM?   Once again we have the reference to "many, many things to consider."  What things?  There aren't any THINGS to consider before jamming up patients brains with Versed.  So again, what THINGS?  What is so incomprehensible in this post?  As for the part where "I almost didn't post to this thread" when has an anesthesia provider, especially a crna, EVER not posted where their precious Versed is concerned?  This person didn't hesitate for a moment to post on this thread.  They had to jump in and try to prove their superiority by claiming that we aren't smart enough to "understand" anything, even though there was NOTHING posted to understand, other than the incredible ego of this person.

Versed is a "complex" subject?  Oh no it's not.  It's a simple subject.  Anesthesia people LOVE this drug and want us all to have it.  It's pure poison for lots of patients but the anesthesia providers can't/won't hear it!  Now who lacks "understanding?"  It doesn't take years of schooling to learn how to give Versed.  What could take years of schooling is for anesthesia providers to learn proper patient care without their vile drug Versed.  Now THAT will make things "complex" for crna's and the like!

The very last statement could be the best!  Here it is again...  "Being informed is one thing, but being "informed" without the education to back it up is dangerous."  Dangerous to whom?  What dangers present themselves when you give patients information as REQUIRED BY LAW?  The "danger" that the patient could refuse the Versed?  How is that dangerous?  How do you get an education without any information?  Really?  I'd like to try that one.  The way I've gained an education is by gleaning INFORMATION, whether by reading or life experience.  The two are inextricably linked.  What a bizarre thing to say!  Only thing is, sadly, this makes perfect sense to this arrogant anesthesia provider.  No wonder they give us Versed, our brains lack education, the ability to learn anything, the ability of self-determination, understanding, and we lack even the ability to discern what is best for ourselves.  Why worry about Versed destroying substandard brains which lack even the most remote possibility of understanding the nebulous "many, many things" that this person allegedly possesses knowledge of? 

Be afraid, be VERY afraid, when you present yourself for medical procedures.  You will be surrounded by medical workers who view you as this poster does.  Sub-standard pod people without a working brain.  Then they make SURE that the previous statement is true by using Versed.  What a deal.

PS, there is a sterling reply to the "sleeperblues" post I've taken apart here, on the web page I linked to.  It's REALLY good, and the person who posted it isn't taking any lip from the esteemed and superior anesthesia provider either.
