Now, Dr. Sleet, your diagnosis was brilliant, your recommended treatment superlative, but the committee is intrigued by your insistence that the patient receive a daily dosage of ... what is this called? ... Housepets as part of his recuperation ....

Yay! Good luck with the residency

Regret your difficulties, foxy. Hope all turns out well in these turbulent times.

Sorrow: My sibling and her partner don't want to go out to eat for my mother's birthday on the 21st so it looks like we will be having just take out which disappoints me and my mother.

Well ... perhaps it'll be a safer celebration then.

Sorry to hear that, buddy. If you want to talk you can send me a PM.

Sorrow: Even after my alarm goes off which means its time for me to get up I just can't seem to bring myself to get out of bed.

Post by **Obbl** » Thu Mar 18, 2021 9:09 pm

When this happens to me, it is always due to depression
Hope you feel better soon

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Mar 19, 2021 1:28 am

It is kind of strange. I do suffer from major depressive disorder and it does affect me a lot and make my mental health drop down quite a bit but I don't feel depressed admittedly. Unless I feel depressed subconsciously.

Thanks. I'm glad I had it, but I have an idea how Peanut and Grape felt here.

Joy: The state that I live in will end up opening vaccines up to EVERYBODY regardless of what their age is on April 19th!

Trepidation: I'm a bit worried that the vaccine might end up affecting me adversely and making me sicker or killing me like that woman in Utah though it only happened after her second shot and my mother is fully vaccinated and the only symptom she felt after was EXTREME tiredness.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Fri Mar 19, 2021 8:53 pm

The missus and I finally got the first jab today.

Post by **Obbl** » Fri Mar 19, 2021 9:00 pm

Dayzee, don't be worried about unsubstantiated claims about harm done by the vaccine. There have been no verified cases of death from the vaccine, and if that's true, then you take far greater risks than this any day you turn on the lights in your house
It's okay to worry, but it's just your mind being hyper-reactive, so don't let it get to you

I'm also quite envious of yall, cause in Japan we're gonna be waiting a while before they authorize even the first dose -_-

I'm sorry to hear that, Obbl - what's the thinking behind that policy?

Post by **Obbl** » Fri Mar 19, 2021 9:34 pm

The vaccines haven't been approved yet, but that's due to a lot of things. Turns out when you fill a government with old fuddey-duddeys (in particular the kind who actually want that power), things have a tendency to move slowly

(It's more than that, but it's not a whole lot better than that sadly)

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Mar 19, 2021 10:43 pm

Sorry that you won't be able to get it for a while then. On the plus side, the forum learned you lived in Japan and are possibly Japanese!

Harry Johnathan · Post by **Harry Johnathan** » Sat Mar 20, 2021 1:30 am

My parents won't let me take the vaccine. They're afraid it will implant a tracking chip in us.

Post by **D-Rock** » Sat Mar 20, 2021 2:31 am

Do they use cell phones with internet and active Facebook pages? They should know they could be tracked much more easily through those.

Dayzee, on this point I would say that in Europe they have just finished a big investigation and concluded again that the phizer vaccine is safe, large numbers of people have had it with no side effects. As for the woman in Utah I suspect if you look for any actual evidence that this was linked to a vaccine you won't find any, the fact is if you vaccinate huge numbers some will get illl regardless of if they have the vaccine or not because they would have done anyway. Interestingly the only thing I could find on this were news reports stating that no link had been found between the ladys passing away and the vaccine.

I'll be getting jabbed when my letter comes, I'm asthmatic and given the choice btween being very poorly or a one in a million unproven chance of sideffects it's an easy choice. The vaccine uptake is very poor in Europe so sadly it looks like this may lead to a third wave.

Having said this I respect that it's each persons choice.

I did not realize you are based in Japan Obbl, never visited but the country does intigue me, I'm a bit of an Animee and Manga fan (lots are guess).

Sorrow, being at work during Covid is stressing me out and it's not really even fear of catching it.

Daunted

Delightful! So glad you all found time to celebrate in all this lunacy, Amazz.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Mar 24, 2021 2:16 am

Yeah I am glad also and it makes up for the fact that we didn't go out to eat on Sunday because my sibling was paranoid about COVID-19.

Paranoia is the fun-killer.

Take it from someone who lived away from his parents and siblings for 31/2 years of his life and moved 3 or 4 times that everything will turn out fine.

Look on the bright side. You'll make new friends and the time spent with family will mean more.

That's a hard thing, Sleet, and I know there'll be times of loneliness and longing. But you've chosen a demanding profession with medicine, a vocation really, and the absences will help you to focus on your work, your learning and your sense of calling. Oddly enough, too, on those occasions when you can come home, you'll be so much more focused and enjoy them all the more for the intensity. God bless and good luck.

So glad to hear that. I guess theraputic counseling would work well enough on the internet, but I'd worry about security. Besides, it seems more effective if you're sitting together in physical proximity.
