Mostly the medical profession seems to care about nothing but money. That's why complaining about the bizarre and long lasting side effects from their nasty little drug Versed/Midazolam does nothing but incite hatred from medical minions. I have offered up the opinion many times that one of the main reasons for the "sedation for everybody" mindset is the money to be made by "sedating" everyone! Here is an article from a reputable news source that looks into this.
Study: Colonoscopies often come with costly, unnecessary sedation - HealthPop - CBS News
In this study they have uncovered almost a BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR in costs for unnecessary "sedation." It's probably a lot more than this if you can get through the "hidden" costs, like nursing "tiers" of care, extra time in recovery, the expense of perforations, etc. If anybody wants "sedation" then let them request it and pay for it separately, like at the dentist.
Quote from article linked above;
"These services are not harming patients. They're basically giving them a luxury that is not strictly necessary," said study author, Dr. Soeren Mattke, a senior Rand Corp. scientist. That matters because policymakers are trying to rein in rising medical costs, the authors said."
"These services are not harming patients."(?) Oh really? What about all the perforations? What about all the people complaining about PTSD as a direct result of their sedation? "They're basically giving them a LUXURY that is not strictly necessary." "Giving" (No, these people are charging a fortune for sedation, they are not "giving" anybody anything!) "A LUXURY?" I don't consider being attacked with brain poison and forced into compliance a "luxury." How luxurious was it for me to have to see a counselor for years? I didn't want a LUXURIOUS experience in the first place, I wanted a "no frills" experience... Since when can medical people unilaterally decide to FORCE people into an unnecessary "luxury?" These services are most definitely "harming patients." These services are harming patients physically, emotionally and financially. It's about time somebody tried to put the brakes on medical spending by cutting out THIS almost billion dollar a year "luxury." I've been writing about this for years and FINALLY somebody is looking into it!

Mefloquine; Another Zombie Drug!
Anybody ever heard of Mefloquine? It's an allegedly "safe and effective drug" used to prevent and treat Malaria. Surprise, surprise, as it turns out this is yet another drug which, along with Accutane and Versed/Midazolam, causes psychosis! Here is a definition from here; Mefloquine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Can you believe this? Oh yeah and this drug is one of them from that bastion of truth about their brain damage/psycho drugs, Hoffman La Roche. Roche is also responsible for all of the drugs I've mentioned above.
Here's a quote from Wikipedia; "Neuropsychiatric effects are reported with mefloquine use.[1] The FDA product guide states it can cause mental health problems including: anxiety, hallucinations, depression, unusual behavior, and suicidal ideations among others.[7] Some have reported severe central nervous system events requiring hospitalization in about 1:10,000 people taking mefloquine for malaria prevention with milder events (e.g., dizziness, headache, insomnia, and vivid dreams) in up to 25%" Sounds just like what we get from both Versed and Accutane doesn't it?
Here is a very interesting broadcast from Democracy Now! I got it through brasscheck's news service here; Health and Medical: Mefloquine, the military's own zombie potion They are saying that the damage is P-E-R-M-A-N-E-N-T! Doesn't matter if you stop taking it, the damage is done. They say that 11% to 17% are adversely affected with brain damage type problems! Sounds like Versed doesn't it? Our military are being force fed this poison, just like we are being force fed Versed. There is no end to the drugs produced by big pharma that do more harm than good? DOES ANYBODY CARE?

MRI anyone?
I grabbed this one; I'm proud that I've never had an MRI or CT scan because the author has some choice things to say about "Standard of Care" in hospitals and medical centers. I absolutely LOVE how this man puts it!
Here are some quotes;
"I hate unnecessary testing and unnecessary treatment." In this one the author is referring to MRI's, CT's and costs thereof. It can also easily be used for the use, misuse and abuse of "sedation." (don't they also insist on Versed/Midazolam sedation for these tests?) He goes on...
"And don’t give me any of that “standard of practice” hokum.

"And don’t give me any of that “standard of practice” hokum.
You know better than I that you and your colleagues, often not based on unbiased best evidence, and functioning as a cartel, create that “standard of practice.”"
Oh yeah, 'that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!' (I stole that phrase from one of my esteemed medical people who posted on my website!) I agree that medical people are NOT using "unbiased best evidence" especially in regards to sedation. THEY like it and it does not matter how many people complain about this matter, the medical folks just keep on doing it. Not only that, they (medical workers) get angry and abusive towards all of use who hate this drug and what it did to us. [Medical people] "functioning as a cartel" created that "standard of practice" hokum!" I love it when great minds come together!

Oliver O'Quinn Anesthesia Nurse
I had to do some reading to confirm my suspicions regarding this story. Oliver O'Quinn, a nurse, murdered his platonic female friend in a fit of jealous rage over her upcoming nuptials. He shot her up with Propofol, app. 4 times the amount needed to kill her. He wasn't "just a nurse" at all. After some digging I found this article; http://www.gainesville.com/article/20080524/NEWS/805240351
In it he is clearly identified as an anesthesia nurse although it doesn't say whether he is a crna, an aa or what.
Everybody can guess how I view this behavior and how I feel about the industry which spawned this devil. Makes you wonder how many other deaths can be attributed to this person...

You've Got To Read These Comments!
Here is the link; http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2011/11/unsupervised-anesthesia-care-nurse-anesthetist-threat-patient-safety.html As you read through the comments look at the ANIMOSITY shown by the crna's! It isn't just the patients that these nurses have disdain for! I love it! Even the president of the AANA shows up to badmouth doctors! (and anybody else who objects to these so-called advance practice anesthesia nurses.)
I also was very interested in the "nerve block" comments. No wonder my nerve block wasn't successful! (According to the moron nurse who administered it!) He wasn't properly trained for this according to some comments. I would NEVER have allowed a nurse to try this kind of thing with me. He even tried to scare me with how "dangerous" this kind of block was! Of course it was dangerous with an unskilled crna at the helm. The only reason I accepted the risk was because 1) I had REFUSED general anesthetic and debilitating drugs and 2) He presented himself as a doctor. I wish he had warned me that he was just a damn nurse before subjecting me to all this unnecessary risk.
I also want to point out once again how crna's are using the law in a novel way. They claim that "supervision" is just so that medicare can be BILLED! They claim that supervision is non existent and that they all PRETEND that this law has been followed so that they can BILL the government. Why aren't they being sued by the government for deliberate FRAUD? I can't believe that they would actually say this, in writing. They are defrauding the taxpayers by falsely claiming supervision that never happened, nor even existed in theory. That's fraud in anybodies book. The law isn't supposed to be simply a billing tactic. Wow!

The Neuroskeptic
I found a new blog today while reading this from Dr. Kevin's blog; http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2012/04/medicine-science.html The link is in the article and also here; http://neuroskeptic.blogspot.com/
This man is on the same wavelength as I am. I encourage everybody to read what the neuroskeptic writes and add to their own body of knowledge. His blog ranges all over the map and there is a lot of information here to cause pause for thought. It's from a neuroscientist, not just an arrogant anesthesia provider. In other words this man has a clue as to what goes on in the brain... AND he doesn't claim to know everything there is about it! How refreshing.

"The Mystery Of Memory"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sWnkBf5V7s This link provided is the work of a drug company so view it with that in mind. A commenter or two on this blog have accused me of being uneducated. I want to use this video as an example of how little THEY know. Here we have brilliant people trying to figure out the intricacies of memory with the idea of PREVENTING exactly what we are chemically subjected to with Versed! How bright is it of these erudite medical workers to deliberately (and often maliciously) inject us with brain poison to wreak havoc with our memory? This is the other side of the coin. Ironically, Versed is used to research memory loss.
