Yesterday, while I was a workin

I listened to a woman complain about how her oxygen dries her sinuses, how uncomfortable her CPAP is, how sure can’t sleep with the machine running, how much she hates not being able to breathe and how she demanded better care from her doctor because of it all. That she shouldn’t have to suffer like this.

And I’m thinking to myself, like sweetie, nobody forced you to smoke 2 packs a day for 45 years. I’m sorry you’re suffering but you did this to yourself.
The consequences of our actions does suck, but anyone in the healthcare profession who thinks that what someone else did to their body entitles them to take less care with patients shouldn’t be in that profession.

Just a thought, but are you sure it’s from smoking? There are people, such as myself, who simply stop breathing in their sleep for whatever reason. Just a thought 🤷‍♂️
@Zaphod42 yes. I’m sure.

@Donotfolowme Exactly
Shame on you. We still help others the best we can.
@Spoiledbrat did I say I’m a fucking doctor?
No.
Did I ever claim to ever be in the medical field?
Also no.

@Threepio imagine smoking a cigarette while hooked up to oxygen, hitting your COPD INHALER, and complaining that you can’t breathe while you put the cigarette back in your mouth

Sounds like you are speaking to my step mom, who was lighting her cigarette with her oxygen bottle on and flowing out near the match

I don't appreciate people who think others around them owe them

I may just have a bee in my bonnet about it due to a hospital stay lol
@Donotfolowme no this post is about people who don’t take care of their body and get shocked when they start dying
Fatalice · 41-45, F
Your always going to be shocked it’s just the way it is you kinda think well I won’t get those problems and it’s a shock when you do
From the outside it’s obvious but as you reach for cake or choc you don’t think about diabetes@WhereTheCloudsareFarBehindMe
