#10: 1n 1981 a buddy and I were out of work and got jobs in the oilfield right before the boom quit, but managed to mostly stay employed thru all that. Fast forward a couple years and another old buddy decided he'd follow our example and after a few weeks eventually got hired out on a drilling rig. He quit after one night. It seems he discovered a man could get hurt doing that kind of work. Anyway, all we'd heard out of him up to then was "I'd go to the North Sea if they sent me" and we thought, fat chance buddy. We honestly didn't think he knew where the North Sea was, so we made up a little song about him to the tune of Edmund Fitzgerald: "And further on down Lake Ontario, takes in what the North Sea can send her."
You should look up the Orr study from ‘81 or ‘82 I think. Surgical masks are pretty much kabuki theatre. Didn’t change infection rates and the infections that did show up in patients were not from the surgical staff. Go figure. Orr did say that the staff would be crazy not to wear them…for fear of getting sued, not for fear of transmitting infection. It was understood if you were coughing and hacking or spitting blood like an Ebola patient you shouldn’t be in the OR anyway.
The only reason a doctor or nurse wears a mask is in case they cough or sneeze. Their hands are busy and they could not cover a sneeze. It does not prevent infection going either way.
#7 We have idiots like that around here, too. Cars trying to pass under a highboy sprayer, etc. I had one dumbass pass my combine on a busy highway by going around me on the right shoulder and nearly tipping his custom van over before righting it driving another quarter of mile and turning off.
Back when I was a kid, my dad would have tanned my hide if I had not pulled the tractor way to the right to let people go around before they got irritated enough to pass on the right. Don't know what happened to common courtesy, but I wish it would make a comeback.
Around here, there are no shoulders on the road, so during the planting and harvesting seasons we have the Tractor Factor to consider when planning a trip anywhere. I can't tell you how many times I've driven the 5 miles into town at 20 mph.
Haha, happens all the time here in Iowa, bikes running under sprayers. We don't get as excited as some of yall I guess. Combines, wagons, tractors, that's a different story, sprayers are fair game.

ReplyDelete#9 -- I wonder what kind of procedure they could be doing without needing to wear surgical masks. That's not good sterile technique
ReplyDeleteThey are extracting the parents wallet.

DeleteI had always understood the surgical precautions were developed to protect the doctors from infection, not their patients.
