My wife who is a nurse says a hospital is one of the most dangerous places you can be in

Personal examples:

1. Years ago we took my father to the emergency room for a minor stroke. An EMT hooked him up to an IV that had a line completely full of air. My wife saw it and yelled at the guy to get a syringe so she could suck the air out of it before it killed him. The head nurse came in all pissed off because my wife was giving orders to her person then shut up when she saw the air in the line.

2. When my wife and I were dating I was in the hospital with septicemia and every evening evening my temp would spike at 103 and I would become delirious so they had me on a cooling/heating pad machine. My future wife came in to visit and found they had the machine set to HEAT. She grabbed a nurse who said she had never used the machine before.

3. I had a heart attack a few years ago and afterword had a stent implanted. Before the procedure my wife could see on the monitors that my blood pressure was on the low side of normal which is not normal for me. She tried to tell them that it usually runs the high end of mormal but no one would listen. Durning the procedure I started really feeling bad and could feel the sweat running off the back of my head and had to tell them "Hey guys, somthing's not right, I feel relly bad". There was a lot of people moving around quickly and I started feeling better. Afterward when I told my wife about it she said that my blood pressure probably crashed and they were not looking at it and they had almost killed me.

Morel: If you have to go into a hospital make sure you marry a nurse first :evil4:
My wife has been an RNS for over 30 years,ICU,Research now doing home infusions. And she agrees with your wifes assessment. There is a high level of incompetency in them.
 
Trying to buy this on ebay.com, but apparently according to them, the UK doesn't exist! 🤨🤔😆😂

Lucky: Drop them a note and ask directly. That list looks like it was copied from a no ship list rather than a ships to list.

I did, they said that they did ship, but nothing changed, even after after being sent an offer! 😆😂
Sent a second message later, saying that I tried to pay, never got a reply....

Ebay can be a pain in the tailpipe at times! 😆😂
 
Bummer....I had a similar question, but going the other way. Found some Gilbert shears from a UK seller and wasn't sure about them shipping to the US. They were glad to and I bought them. The shipment went a bit funky, going from the UK to Los Angles before going back to the east coast and then on to Texas.
 
We got a new Automated Weather Observation Station at our airport a few months back. And lately it has been reporting, almost every morning, "5 knots wind from 030 degrees."

I have lived here over 31 years and, while we often get periods of strong winds out of the Northeast this time of year, 030 degrees is an odd direction except after a frontal passage, and that condition does not last long.

So I cranked up the airplane and flew, just two patterns with full stop landing.

Brand new and the damn thing is already broke!
 
Then on the other hand, my baby of 8 is struggling this year which make sense because she is attached to her mother. My oldest, who is determined to go to jail, is ranked 220 out of 294 students with a GPA of 0.905 sigh
 
Just seen a video on Youtube, covering aviation accidents.
Some horrifying footage of the 2022 Dallas air show disaster with the B-17 and P-63 was described by the (British) commentator as "some of the best footage I've ever seen", and in a "jolly" sounding voice, too !
