I was recently at the doctors, and had a nurse ask me why I hadn't been vaccinated. I gave my usual answer that they like to hear, and then she expressed some shallow anti-vax sentiments. I'd never met this person before, and she had a lot to lose by talking the way she was with me. I didn't bite, and later realized it's at least possible I was being lead down a path. To what end? No idea: maybe just to see how people like us think, maybe she was a disturbed SJW self important hero, maybe I'm wrong and she was genuine.

In any case, be careful. Don't stop sharing and spreading the truth, just be smart about it, and be wary of people who open up too quickly; they might be trying to gain your trust to use it against you. Be especially cautious about strangers who know who you are, while you know nothing about them (like healthcare and government workers).

i stepped on a rusty nail about 15 years ago and went to the ER. they immediately had me “sign in” before going to the waiting room. 10 mexicans waiting there. waited 2.5 hrs, and still 10 mexicans waiting there ahead of me, so i bailed. kikes sent me a $100 sign-in bill. never again.

Last summer the landlord wasn't tending the lawn and it was up to my nipples so I cut it. I got mites. I needed just a tube of medicated salve. 2 applications and wash all my laundry and sheets and they are gone in a week. But this was the PANDEMIC!!! and the weekend urgent care and even the free clinics were closed. They had signs on the door telling people to go to the ER. So that's where I go. They put me in a bed and it took hours for an obvious student to look at my skin. Even though I got mites once before after riding the bus filled with obvious immigrants to the edge of the county to look at a property. So after he leaves I was there long enough to actually fall asleep in the middle of the day because the only thing to do there was watch Saturday afternoon TV. I hadn't brought a book because this literally should have taken 15 minutes. I spent less time in there than when I got an abscess from a black widow bite a couple years prior and needed it drained, flushed, and packed with gauze. That took about an hour. All they needed to do was look at the little spots on my arm to see that they were slowly moving and give me a tube of cream. That took hours, and they gave me 3 prescriptions: the cream that costs like $20, and a pill for internal parasites and basically a high powered antihistamine, which the latter two combined was something like $75. Then they sent me a bill for thousands of dollars on top of that even though the free clinic that told me to go there was THEIR free clinic. And they would have given me the cream for free.

And I used to work IT for that hospital, too.

Your mistake was going in for stepping on a nail. By the way, hurts like a bitch, doesn't it? I've done it several times in my life. I don't enjoy it, but I never went to the doctor or a hospital about it. Your body can handle that kind of injury, unless you are a total snowflake with no immune system at all. If it starts to swell up, and pus starts leaking out of the hole, then you go to the hospital to get some pills for the infection. Although, to be honest, when such things get pussy, I just wait for them to heal. Which they do, eventually.

Tetnus is easily avoided by being current on your vax. Not current, go get the shot after you step on that nail.
