Day 55 just another fact-finding day

It was a good work day, not too much going on. It would have been better if my co-worker actually helped me remember what I tasked her to ;)

Onto other things... Today I found out that every 15 seconds a person dies from TB. Whoa! Stop that train... That's a lot of people. That's very sad...especially since it is treatable. Well most forms of it are, if people would stop ignoring doctors    & stopping antibiotics too early that would help.  But that is yet another battle. 

While finding out that little tidbit I found that nurses can get free CEU's from the CDC website. Pretty cool. All of my nurse friends should do the TB 101. It would help everyone understand me. :) 

Well, maybe not.

But it would help spread more info about TB, so just do it for the good of mankind.

It's really not that bad as far as CEUs go. And it's free...and didn't take long at all. 

So another fun fact I learned was that from 1/1/14 to 6/20/14 there have been 514 cases of Measles reported from 20 states in the US! Of course Texas is one of them, but I already knew that. But, hello! That's a lot of measles!!! For a disease that was considered eliminated from the US in 2000.... That really sucks. And shows how stupid our society can be.  From 2001-2011 there were 911 confirmed measles patients. And that is a freaking decade! In the last 6 months we have surpassed 50% of that!! 6 months. 

I hope people in favor of not vaccinating or delayed vaccination find out this info & stop & think. They are taking us back to a time where numerous people died from diseases that can be prevented. Stupid stupid stupid! 

Ok, I'm off my rant now. Sorry about that. I can sometimes get a little fired up. 

I need to cool off... I need some Manning time. ;) 

After all that I don't have anything left to chat about. Sorry folks. I hope it wasn't too terrible. Good night!
