Guest guest Posted March 2, 2000 Report Share Posted March 2, 2000 Hi Happy & All, Hope this might help some... I did not receive a copy until Pspatches sent it out (of course, I saw it on first - thanks !!!). Interesting thing is I hardly ever to go newsgroups or AOL boards (don't know of any others) & don't belong to any other lyme lists (if any others even exist...). Perhaps by sort of comparing " notes " on who received email from this jerk & who didn't & which lists, boards, etc. recipients frequent, maybe it could be sort of narrowed down... My 1st impression of it was it actually gave me goosebumps & made hair on back of neck stand up when I began to read it. (God - I've been living with too many dogs for too long - LOL!) It was not the verbage, but the " feel " of the email. (At that point, I hadn't even noticed who it was from - in s posting to list.) Hope this helps in some way to find out who this apparent steere dropping is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2000 Report Share Posted March 16, 2000 , I believe that was the British aircraft carrier the Invincible. All aboard refused to be vaccinated. (1998 I think) I believe their program was voluntary though, but still a 100% refusal rate on that ship. >>> I remember reading several stories about a Navy ship whose sailers collectively refused the anthrax vaccine. Does anyone have any recollection of the origin of that story or what the ship name was? Your help is appreciated in advance.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2000 Report Share Posted March 16, 2000 , Last summer there were originally 225 anthrax vaccine refusers on the USS Constellation. I believe there are only a handful left currently. Not sure if this was the story you heard, but thought I'd share with you. Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2000 Report Share Posted March 17, 2000 No, that isn't the right info - that was the ship that Lori's son was on and there wasn't that large scale of a refusal - just 10. >, > >In addition to Lori's info, here's some more: > >Apr 1998 – First large-scale refusals to take the vaccine occur – ten >sailors on USS Independence.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 You should definitely get some form of recognised medical qualification first. I'm afraid that a 1st aid qualification doesn't give enough depth of knowledge needed to be an effective medic. While I accept that your experience in the hyperbaric field may be extensive there is much more specialised knowledge involved in the diagnosis and treatment of, at times, complicated medical/trauma patients. IMOH I have been involved in the training of offshore/remote medics for some time and find that people with sound, relevant training (NHS/Forces) coupled experience in at least some appropriate specialities (ortho, A & E, general medicine/surgery, practice nursing) is what is required to provide an effective medic and therefore provide the care that those who work in harsh environments are entitled to. The courses available are designed to turn onshore health practioners into professionals capable of caring for sick and injured persons in adverse circumstances and require a fairly high degree of medical knowledge before embarking on such a course. Please don't let me put you off becoming a medic. We need more enthusiastic people who want to enter this line of work. (God knows the pay can be crap and the hours even worse) You will stand more chance of getting on a course and being employed if you have a medical qualification. I would think then that your experience in diving would then be a positive asset.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 Hi , Can you tell me a bit more about working in the US gulf? I've been curious about working in this type of setting for as while now, and am wondering about pay, conditions, working for Acadian, etc. Since I live in the US, checking out the gulf seems to make sense. Also, I'm both a medic and an emergency department RN. Do you know if there's a salary benefit to being an RN in this industry, or does it matter? Thanks for any help you or anyone else can provide.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2001 Report Share Posted May 11, 2001 The general requirement for work in the gulf is National Registry certification as a paramedic and experience on the street as a medic for at least a couple of years. There is really no salary benefit to being an RN, although the clinical background is helpful in getting a job. COnditions on the rigs vary from being about one step above a crack house on some of the smaller inland barge and platform rigs, to fairly comfortable, private accomodations on the bigger jackups and semisubmersible rigs. Food varies in quality, but is usually not bad. The majority of the work in the gulf is as a dispatcher, which means answering phones, doing paperwork, preparing manifests, etc. You don't get to sit around in the clinic all day reading books. Pay is between $210 and $240 a day. Generally, the offshore medics provide a pretty high level of medical care. In addition to the usual paramedic skills (intubation, cricothyrotomy, chest needles, ACLS) you start central lines, use paralytics and sometimes even thrombolytics. The employer usually provides an extension course to teach suturing, clinical assessment skills and antibiotic therapy.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 DOnna, none of the listed side effects apply to me or 4 others I know personally on Low Dose Naltrexone. ~In my experience, and this is~consistent, it is quite the contrary. I feel very allert, healthy and full of vitality. I sleep better than ever before. I have less stiffness in my leg muscles. Sexual libido increase Increased strength and slightly improved balance. I have only been on LDN for 70 days now and never experienced any of the adverse reactions listed on the end of your email. I cant help you or advise about Avonex - Im opposed to all injectable MS drugs and never used. Hope this helps regarding the ´side-effects´issue.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Donna, I have been taking 25mg DHEA along with 30mg Pregnenolone for about 3 years. It hasn't hurt me, and I think the combo has helped my Optic Neuritis. Lara posted some real helpful info recently about both, and I began the DHEA every other day. (Just because I think the Pregnenolone may be best) Look back and find the info, but I know it was Lara who posted the info!
