Nothing exciting to say, just here at work procrastinating. Have to do rounds. Had to send a guy to the hospital a couple hours ago. He was dizzy and blood pressure elevated.

Must get ready to go to school. Have exams. Whine whine, feel lousy. Would never by choice take morning classes when I work nights.

The air in the building where I work is so dry. I often drink a half gallon of water in a night when I'm working.

Better fast food
Let's face it, I'm no cook. Most fast food is pretty much an artery clogging fat load, but something like a baked potato and chili from Wendy's is actually not a bad meal. I get the baked potato (yes, I use sour cream. Because life is too short to eat a !*!&$( DRY POTATO!) and a large chili with onions and cheese. I pour the chili on the potato. Chili is loaded with fiber and nutrients. Potatoes have B vitamins and potassium, especially if you eat the skin. So this is actually a reasonably healthy meal. You can also get a side salad with Italian dressing and make it complete. Well, get whatever dressing you want, but I tend to roll with the oil and vinegar based ones. Ranch is bad because it contains MSG. On my soapbox. MSG is not a "spice." It technically has no flavor of its own. MSG IS A NEUROTOXIN! It alters the brain chemistry of the person eating it. No joke, look it up. Many people are intolerant of this vile substance. For most, it causes intestinal distress to one degree or another. Sometimes it can even cause respiratory distress. I used to be on several asthma meds until I started watching out for MSG in foods. I was able to get off ALL asthma meds. I still have mild asthma but it tends to only be triggered by extreme cold or exercise and does not require medication.
At any rate, yes, you can find healthy alternatives at fast food joints. I know this. I just don't always take them...

Irresponsible and Reprehensible
The story from MSNBC is about a doctor who performed an abortion on an 18 year old client at 23 weeks. The fetus emerged alive. The clinic's owner cut the cord and placed the newborn and the afterbirth in a garbage bag. Read the story first and then the Curmudgeon's Comment.
The Crusty Curmudgeon sez: Once the fetus was born alive, it was the responsibility of the clinic staff to immediately get medical care for it. Also, it was irresponsible of these doctors to do an abortion at this stage of pregnancy unless there was a compelling medical reason. My belief is that abortion should be available on demand after counseling about all options and possible effects both physical and psychological during the first trimester. After the first trimester, it should be available only if there is a viable medical reason for doing so.
It was reprehensible of the clinic staff to agree to do an abortion so far along without sound medical reason in the first place. It was diabolical of them to not get immediate emergency medical care for the live infant. They should all be stripped of their licenses and jailed immediately.

Monosodium Glutamate: It Straight UP Sucks!
We all should be concerned with getting MSG out of our food supply. This stuff is quite literally a neurotoxin. It does NOT add flavor to food. It alters the brain chemistry of the individual eating a food to which it has been added, so said individual perceives the food as tasting stronger.
MSG generally causes headaches and irritable bowel, but it can also cause respiratory problems. I used to be on several asthma medications. When I became aware of MSG's ill effects, I started reading labels and if it was in something, I passed it up. I was able to get off all asthma meds.
There are studies that suggest that the number of children with autism and ADHD may be related to monosodium glutamate in our food supply. It became widely used after 1950 in the United States. The number of children with such problems rose sharply after that time. Hmmmmm....
As little as 2 tablespoons of MSG can cause animals such as dogs to have seizures.
Do we really need this crap in our food? I think not!
