Time Text
Music playing Welcome to the Health Ranger Report on Brighteon.tv.
You're going to love today's episode.
We're going to be interviewing the Patriot nurse.
You've seen her videos all over the place.
They've been posted on Brighteon, BitChute, and other platforms.
She's a no-nonsense gal who knows about medicine and prepping, emergency medicine.
Some people call it even ditch medicine.
What do you do if you're in a real medical emergency and you don't have all the right tools that you might want?
Well, The Patriot Nurse is going to answer questions for us today about medical preparedness, sanitation, and also we're going to talk a little bit about COVID and pandemics and vaccines and things like that.
So her website is thepatriotnurse.com.
She also offers We'll be right back after this break with The Patriot Nurse.
Alright, welcome back folks.
Mike Adams here on Brighton.tv and I built this platform to be able to talk to people like our guest today, the Patriot Nurse.
Welcome to the show, Patriot Nurse.
I mean, that's your nickname.
I'm going to call you that throughout the show.
Is that okay?
Absolutely.
Thank you so much for having me.
It's an absolute pleasure.
Well, hey, the pleasure is all mine.
This is the first time we've been able to talk, but I got to tell you, I'm a big fan of your videos.
I love the information you put out there.
Our listeners and audience, they love your information as well.
You are helping so many people, saving lives, spreading information that will save lives.
So tell us, just give us a quick intro of who you are and what you do for those few who may not know.
Well, I go by Patriot Nurse online and I have been creating videos and content and doing education for preparedness and survival realities for the greater part of 10 years now, a decade.
And my background is obviously in nursing and in the time that I've been a nurse, I've focused on various different specialties.
Including med-surg, inpatient psychiatric, natural childbirth, labor and delivery, home health as an aspect thereof, as well as a brief bit in emergency and trauma.
So it's been a blessing to be able to reach out to people and to be able to connect and encourage people.
And I think that encouragement portion as of late has been so critical in the past year.
Because I think the past few generations, we really in the United States have had a great degree of ease and not really had to put up or shut up when it came to sticking to our principles and really defending our freedoms here, particularly our health freedoms.
And so I've been very, very blessed to be able to be a part of that, as well as sharing the tugging of the rope, sharing the pulling on the line with great advocates for health freedom like yourself.
So I feel very, very privileged in that.
Well, what people love about your presentation style, and myself as well, I love this about you, you don't beat around the bush.
You don't coddle people's emotions.
You tell it like it is.
And in this day and age, with so many people flapping their lips and saying nothing because they're afraid to offend one person out of a million, you don't bother with that.
You're like, this is what you need to know.
Here's the information.
Here's what you got to do.
You know, boom, do it.
And frankly, that's refreshing these days.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
It definitely was something that was born into me, I think.
My father at this day, and he told me the other day, he said, honey, you're just a force of nature.
Well, dad, you know, you're half of the contribution to it.
But from an early age, it's funny because when I was in elementary school, I used to get marks off for conduct because I talked too much and apparently too forcefully.
But now that's what I do for a living and to encourage people.
So it's a classic example, I think, of How some things that the world and other people might consider as a net drawback, I think God uses it to encourage people and He turns the things that otherwise would be viewed as detractions to overall things used for your good and other people's good too.
Well, right, and we are in really, you could say, a medical emergency right now.
You know, we're in, I call it a theater of war during a biological warfare, you know, scenario that's been unleashed.
And when you're in war, you don't have time to sugarcoat things, you know?
If you are the expert in your area, it's okay to bark commands to people who carry them out.
Get that done.
You gotta be blunt with people, you know?
You gotta tell people what to do.
Sometimes people are bleeding out, you know?
There's no time to beat around the bush when someone's bleeding out.
You're like, you gotta stop the bleed, right?
That's true.
Clear and sized communication, the closed loop communication is very important, particularly in healthcare.
But also in this day and age, we are so oversaturated with content.
We have so many people walking around.
It's like the Borg, if you've ever seen that in Star Trek.
You know, the thoughts of everyone are constantly with us and that creates a lot of confusion.
And just an overwhelming level of sensory input for people.
So I think it's a blessing in this day and age to have someone just look you straight in the face and say, look, I'm not going to beat around the bush.
This is what I think.
This is where we're at.
Here's where I think it impacts you.
Do with it what you will.
Yeah, exactly.
Speaking of that, what do you think is the most important thing that people need to know right now, given the situation that we are in?
Maybe half the country is vaccinated.
We may be moving into the vitamin D deficiency winter, which is normally the flu season, normally immunosuppressed because of D deficiency.
Possible antibody-dependent enhancement coming up, but we're not sure.
We're seeing food scarcity now.
The shelves are going bare.
That's no longer a conspiracy theory.
It's a reality.
So what do you think people need to know right now looking ahead to where this is all headed?
There will be no return to normal unless we bring that normal back.
Unless we rest normal back from the jaws of chaos, there's not going to be a return.
So this starts, I think, with...
Non-compliance, particularly in places where an individual feels like compliance would be a violation of their conscience.
Standing firm and resolute in the midst of this, this is the only option that we have.
Whether it be supply line issues or economic sequelae, because of all the craziness that has come over the past two years, there will be no return to normal unless we make normal normal.
And not from, oh, we have permission to make it normal again.
No, you make normal your normal every day through your choices.
Well said.
And we're seeing that.
More and more people standing up, even police officers, firefighters, first responders, pilots, union workers even.
Massive backlash against these vaccine mandates.
So I agree with what you just said.
But what about practical things at your home or your ranch for our listeners?
What do they need to be prepping with in terms of supplies?
We'll talk about skills later.
But in terms of supplies, what do they need to be getting right now?
As far as supplies, we have the big three beans, the beans, bullets, and band-aids, the bees.
Beans, bullets, and band-aids that are good areas for practical, tangible, supply-minded preparedness.
Food is obviously an important part of this, right?
Because when it comes to meeting your basic needs, If you have the ability to ensure that your family have food and have their basic needs met for, let's say, a minimum of one month, and then working up towards three months, then six months, etc., if you have the ability to stare someone down in the face who's saying, you're not going to be able to feed your family if I fire you for X, Y, or Z, you can look them back in the face and say, Abe, My faith isn't in you as my provider, as a man.
B, I've got food already in the pantry.
My family's going to eat, and it's not dependent on my showing up in a slave-minded set of compliance.
So that's part one with the beans.
And then obviously self-defense and the ability to defend yourself, to defend your property, that is critical.
And it has been critical since the inception of the republic.
We are a republic founded on the recognition of the right of the individual to defend him or herself, to keep and bear arms.
And this is part of not just an individual and his household security, but this is part of the necessity for greater community security.
There is no better security from whatever threat, foreign and domestic, other than an armed and capable populace.
And then the third, obviously, being the Band-Aids, having basic medical supplies stored up.
And also, I would add adjunct supplies, for instance, herbs and supplements that are going to be supportive for a person's overall needs.
Those are critical supplies to keep on hand.
Tell you what, I want you in my survival group, that's for sure.
I mean, I don't know where you live, but anybody would be lucky to have you in their group because you have all this knowledge and so many people are just waking up to this right now.
I've even had people reach out to me kind of in a panic.
They're like, oh my God, I just realized you were right.
What do I do?
Have you had that happen?
Oh, yes.
An increasing rate over the past few years.
I would guess so.
Now, what do you think about the media is now already starting to try to shame people away from acquiring supplies.
So they're using terms like hoarding or panic buying.
And I always joke about panic buying.
You know, panic buying is when you buy things you don't need.
Like, oh, suddenly I need 30 pairs of flip-flops.
That would be a panic buy.
But meal planning by purchasing food, that's not a panic buy.
That's a strategic safety net, isn't it?
Strategic acquisition.
I would call it prescient buying versus panic buying.
It's not panic if you recognize that you as a human being have basic needs that have to be sustained and met regardless of surrounding circumstances and political expediencies.
So yeah, buying wisely and securing provisions wisely from a place.
It also, I think, depends on where you're coming from, from your heart and your mind.
Are you looking To secure your physical needs because you're wanting to do this out of a responsibility and also from a desire to help others bless your community versus I'm going to pile up all this stuff and sit on top of it and watch the world burn.
Two completely different places are coming from things, right?
Well, and when government buys all of this stuff and, you know, they're underground caves, you know, missile silos stuffed with food and bullets, when they prepare, they call it continuity of government.
So I was joking with some friends, like, yeah, when you go stockpile food, just call it continuity of breakfast.
Everybody's got to eat, right?
What's wrong with that?
That's true.
Well, here's the issue.
Throughout Eternity past, he who controls the food supply controls not only the votes, but controls the populace and their overall compliance.
So, I mean, this is when you go back classically to Rome with bread and circuses.
You pacify the populace by controlling the food supply, and you keep them inundated with entertainment to overall distract them from the realities that confront them.
And so for that reason, it is that much more important that we have a sovereignty, at least in one way, shape or form, over our supply line and over our foods for sure.
Yeah, absolutely.
Now, as part of all of this, the prepping that's happening, are you seeing a rise in interest in the skills?
Let's talk about the skill set now.
And I do want to ask you about your course here shortly.
And I know you're touring in multiple cities, Salt Lake City, and you're in Texas and Knoxville, Tennessee and Atlanta coming up soon.
And that's an in-person training.
But the first question is, are you seeing an increased interest in these hands-on skills?
Absolutely.
I am definitely seeing an increase in interest for varieties of different skills, not only for self-defense, obviously, for trauma and TATMED, but also for bringing back the skills of old, the doctor-mom skills.
When we consider the two previous generations, at least in my grandparents' generation, they could count on one hand the number of times that they saw a doctor in their life.
And when you consider overall how they lived, they were hardy people, at least my family, in our own oral histories of this when I've interviewed my older family members.
These were hardy people.
They worked out in the field.
They grew gardens, sometimes very large and intensive gardens.
They owned that they were responsible for their lives and for their families, particularly the women recognized that I have a responsibility to care for my children when they're sick and not have this learned helplessness and this panic that I'm going to run to the ER for every little triviality.
I'm going to call the doctor for every little thing.
If my child has a fever, I know how to manage it in a time-proven and effective manner that has been practiced for thousands of years, right?
So there is an interest, and I think rightly so, a resurgence in trying to recollect and to regain this footing that we've lost in these skill sets of old.
And actually, you know, thinking about this Definitely, I would say since the late 50s in this country, we have received this narrative.
if I could speak to this myself as a woman growing up in this modern educational system, that it was kind of pushed on us in a way that part of your liberation meant that you pursue academic things and that you pursue yourself as part of the workforce, which inherently nothing is wrong with that.
But in many cases, and I can verify this in my own practice, motherhood and also skill sets associated with running a home and practicalities of being the doctor mom of old, that has fallen by the wayside.
And a lot of people are starting to recognize this, that though we may be more educated people from a book smart level, We have lost, as a consequence of that trade-off, a lot of these intuitive skills that were naturally honed and developed in generations previous.
That's a really good point.
Even just two generations ago, moms, I think, had a lot more knowledge about how to treat sickness, how to deal with things, and they didn't just take their kids to the emergency room every time something went wrong.
And by the way, a lot of those sort of folklore remedies turn out to have a scientific basis for why they worked.
Now, maybe the moms didn't know why they worked, but they knew they did work, and they could rely on them, and they produced consistent results.
And that's half of medicine right there.
What works, right?
Absolutely.
And many of these time-honored herbal supplements and support mechanisms we're finding in many cases are almost as effective or just as effective as many pharmaceutical interventions with far lower risk of side effects, etc.
And frankly, they're cheaper and more accessible for a greater amount of the population who doesn't have access to, number one, to healthcare in general, but two, to To affordable healthcare.
That would be a subject for a whole other video interview on the side effects of government involvement in healthcare and the cost of it skyrocketing.
But yeah, very, very accessible and lower risk of side effects in many, many cases, these older methods.
So describe for us, if you would, what's offered in your course, your in-person course.
I know it's a multi-day thing, and folks, if you're interested, thepatriotnurse.com gets you details about the schedule and the cities and so on, but give us a little brief, if you would, about that course.
Absolutely.
So the first two days are medical prep, medical prep 101 and 201.
And in this course, we focus on the assessment skills necessary for creating a well-balanced care plan if you are the only health care provider for whatever situation that may be.
We also focus on the big three areas of medical preparedness, meaning respiratory diseases, digestive diseases, and wound care.
These situations, these health needs across the lifespan are, wherever you are in the world, the dominant risk factors to mitigate against respiratory disease, digestive disease, wound care.
We also cover a little bit of austere birth in the mix because it's a passion of mine, obviously.
The second of the course is the Nutrition, Herbs, and Old School Disease.
That's days three and four of the course.
We focus on the nutritional areas to focus on.
We focus on the role of nutrition and selecting properly balanced diets and also how to wisely stratify your food selection for long-term food storage.
And each person's calculus is going to be different.
So we focus on that for sure as an overall integrated part of health promotion.
We also, on the fourth day of class, cover the herbs and old-school diseases.
So we evaluate the diseases of old, the diseases that we've been so, so assured are gone forever.
Insert snicker here.
Things like dysentery, typhoid, smallpox, etc.
These diseases of old, we look at Ways that traditional peoples dealt with them.
We look at also the traditional role of herbs in their supportive application as regards these particular diseases and also incorporate all of the previous day's work on assessment and on building care plans, etc., within the context of a potential resurgence of these diseases of old.
Wow.
Wow, that sounds really informative.
Is it a mixture of lecture and some of it's hands-on or kind of what's it look like in the classroom there?
Exactly.
Oh, I make them work.
I'll bet you do, yeah.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
So I definitely, I like to focus on the lecture, but lecture in an interactive format.
And I like to keep my classes small.
I like to limit my classes usually to no more than 25 to 30 people.
I like to keep it in an In an appropriate setting where your instructor to student ratio is beneficial for the overall experience of the student.
But we definitely do hands-on work.
There's assistance as far as helping people in their skill sets with things like blood pressure and vital sign obtaining.
And then also physical assessments, how to assess each of the different body systems for where they lie within the span of normal and be able to ascertain when someone's body is showing up outside of normal parameters So that it gives you an overall better picture of what's going on with the person and how to build a care plan accordingly.
I love the fact that you focus on natural medicine, and I've tried to emphasize this over the years, that Mother Nature grows medicine for you for free.
The plants are synthesizing medicinal molecules, and if you just grow those plants, and there are simple ways to do that, non-circulating hydroponics and so on, and then you can harvest those plants, and you can extract those chemical constituents very easily with water or alcohol, vodka, or...
Other types of things, or you can do essential oil extracts if you have the setup with the condenser tube and so on.
It doesn't take rocket science to grow and make your own medicine, does it?
No, not at all.
As a matter of fact, as I was growing personally in my own knowledge of healthcare alternative, in quotes, healthcare implementations, I started seeking out knowledge on herbalism as well.
And so I completed certificate programs in herbalism to really, not only for my own personal growth, but also to help offer that added perspective for my students.
I've changed in my own practice as a nurse and my own philosophy.
I used to be much more white coat, heavy interventive, and I think that's just a consequence of when you're in the system and in their grid, how you think.
But as I've seen...
Not only the state of things in the United States progressed, but also just in my own life, I've tended more and more away towards that interventive side of things and much more towards the supportive and nourishing side of things.
Not only because I've seen that it works with superior outcomes in my own practice and in the lives of people near me, but also when we're dealing with the How shall I say?
When we're dealing with chemicals that we're still the experimental lab rats on, so to speak, right?
When we're looking at things, you know, 5, 10, 15, 20 years down the road when these chemical constituents are being shown to have detrimental side effects for people and in some cases being removed from the market because they pose such a risk to consumer health.
You're talking about pharmaceuticals, right?
Yes, I am.
Yes, I am.
When we look at that situation, I have much more confidence overall for probably 90% of healthcare needs in the herbal and in the lower interventive side of things.
I think what Western medicine does very well is trauma.
Trauma management, ICU management, things that are very heavily...
So basically when the worst of the worst happens, Western medicine does that very well.
But in my opinion, everything leading up to the mitigation, management, prevention of chronic disease, we do not do that well at all.
Yeah, yeah, that's exactly right.
Tell us then a little bit about the schedule of this course and the cities that you have lined up here in the near future.
Yes.
So I normally will teach on either Monday through Thursday or Sunday through Wednesday.
And the courses that I have scheduled in Salt Lake, it's going to be coming up in November, Salt Lake City.
The December is Keller, which is the Dallas area.
Knoxville, Tennessee is in January.
February should be Atlanta.
And I put a few more places.
Also, I think Columbus, Ohio is on the schedule for 2022, as well as Jacksonville, Florida and Charlotte, North Carolina.
And I believe Kalispell, Montana should be up there too for July.
Oh, wow.
Wow, you are busy.
Okay, so we've only got a little over a minute left for this segment here on Brighteon.tv, but for those of you watching, we're going to continue this conversation with a few more minutes in the full version that gets posted on my channel on Brighteon.com.
But I want to ask you, Patriot Nurse, about sanitation, because we are seeing now the collapse of infrastructure.
We're seeing the collapse of emergency response because of firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, and so on.
A lot of them have been fired because they're not getting vaccinated.
Many of them are leaving the big cities, and they're not going to be able to respond to many events, including shootings or accidents or people passing out just on the floor and so on.
But specifically...
Well, okay.
Give us a short answer now, and we'll go to break and wrap this up.
But what do you think about those topics there?
I think this is the eventuality that many of us in the preparedness community and industry have been focusing on for years, and the future is here now.
Well, that was a short answer.
You were very succinct.
You're actually very easy to interview.
Okay, so folks here, this is thepatriotnurse.com.
That's the website you want to check out.
We're going to have an extended conversation here on my channel on brightown.com.
And don't forget about her courses that are in all those cities that she mentioned across the United States over the next several months, including into the spring and summer of 2022.
She's also got a four-hour online course that you can access at any time and watch that video.
So we're going to talk more about sanitation and survival in a collapsing society in the extended conversation.
Thank you for watching today.
Alright, that was our Brighton TV segment.
Thank you for your patience there.
This is fun talking with you.
So now you can go into a more extended answer here.
We'll just do a few more minutes.
But what do you think about how do people apply all of this?
Or what do you think are the most important things for people in a collapsing infrastructure scenario, which is where we are now?
Absolutely.
The most important thing, the most critical thing for your viewers and listeners, I think that they must address is their water.
They have to have a reliable way to purify their water that does not require electricity.
There are various different methods for this, and I'm sure you have recommended resources for people in accordance with that.
But if they have not addressed this, this is something they must do expediently to address the water filtration needs.
You can go for a few days for sure without having food.
You're not going to last very long without water.
Furthermore, if that water is compromised because there are contaminants in that water, there are pathogens in that water that will lead to sickness in people, that's going to make your life miserable.
But also from a mutual defense standpoint, if you're in a situation where you're literally looking at a breakdown in rule of law, If your security force, if your group, your mutual defense group, has water that is compromised, that is going to cut down on your combat effectiveness.
No question about it.
So it is a critical thing to consider as part of a well-rounded program in your preparedness overall.
Yeah, your security crew will start swapping out magazines for toilet paper on their chest rigs, you know what I mean?
That's not a good situation.
But also about availability of water, because I've talked to a lot of people who live in cities, and I've asked them, I've asked many people this question, do you have surface water within walking distance that you could carry if you had to?
And by the way, let's not even talk about, you know how hard it is to carry the water you need every day?
That's hard by itself.
Even if it's a short distance.
But most people who live in these cities and suburbs, they have no idea where to even get surface water.
That's disturbing.
Yes.
As a matter of fact, if I'm not mistaken, between 85 to 90 percent of Americans rely upon grid-based and municipality-based water in order to meet their needs.
So you're talking less than 15 percent of people overall who rely upon well water or some other type of water source that does not directly put them in the dependence area of the government.
Yeah.
It is something to consider.
But in saying this, obviously we recognize that the vast majority of your listeners and viewers are going to be in that 90%, right?
And so we have to look at mitigatable risk factors here.
We may not be able to just pick up and move because real estate prices are crazy right now.
And good luck in the free states like Tennessee, Texas, Florida, et cetera.
Like we're getting wholesale invaded.
So good luck trying to find a homestead for sale.
But when you look at ways that you can create stopgap measures, I think?
Looking together to meet needs communally, I think it's going to be very important.
And I think if there's anything trend-wise that we are seeing right now really gain speed and headway, it is that community is king right now.
Because, I mean, no man is an island, obviously.
But part two in the No Man is an Island.
In order for us to have sustainability, we have to look to the ways of the past.
And in the United States, because we've focused in recent times on urban planning, etc., where you have people who are living side by side with their neighbors for 10, 15 years and don't even know them.
This is a very lonely way to live.
It's not a sustainable or a mentally healthy way to live.
So I think the rise of communities and the rise of mutual dependence in a proper way, right?
Mutual dependence and mutual support is a consequence thereof.
I think that that's really going to be something moving forward that will be a trend worth following.
I completely agree.
Now, I want to ask you this.
This is a little bit of a nauseating topic, but we've got to talk about waste disposal and what happens in cities when the power grid goes down.
Folks, if you've been following my work, research on coal supplies, energy supplies, fuel, and so on, We're looking at rolling blackouts in the United States this winter, according to energy insiders who are saying there's just not enough coal because, you know, there's a worldwide coal demand in China and India, and they're having rolling blackouts as well, but I'm not going to go into that.
But when you start to lose energy in cities, you start to lose water pressure.
So then the water pipes can sometimes have reverse pressure, and they can suck septic matter back into the main water pipes, and then your tap water is somebody else's sewer water.
And the next thing is about water treatment.
If the water treatment plants stop functioning, the sewers eventually back up, and then you have a major problem.
Talk to us about the health implications of dealing with those kinds of scenarios, if you would, please.
Certainly.
As a matter of fact, I taught, when I taught class a few years ago in New York, my last class that I taught in New York, it was right on the heels of Hurricane Sandy.
And I actually had police and first responders as my students in class who were telling me about the horrid situations as far as human waste management, etc., in some of these high-rise tenements, basically, in the cities.
And so this is an issue, particularly in cities, of how you manage human waste.
And I would say practically one of the things that people can do very cost-effectively, have a five-gallon bucket and a big bag of kitty litter.
It doesn't have to be the expensive, fancy stuff, the old-school stuff.
And you can use that the same way that you do for animal waste.
You can do it for people as well.
And it is not the prettiest of things to consider, but it is a stopgap measure, obviously.
And something obviously to consider is that our cities and the sizes of our cities have grown exponentially since the introduction of wastewater management, modern plumbing, and the grid, electrical dependence.
Hither to this point, the average city size was limited, I want to say, to anywhere between 15,000 to 30,000 people, mainly because of the risk of water and foodborne diseases, cholera being foremost of them.
And so you see limitations of this in times prior to the introduction of modern plumbing and the grid.
In the breakdown of those systems, you can expect to see catastrophic impacts of that.
Obviously, that's not something that anyone would want, God forbid, or look forward to.
But for those of us who are in places of more dense population, urban areas, and for whatever reason they can't leave or if they have family members that are dependent upon them in those areas, If you're stuck in a situation where you're in an apartment or you're in a densely packed area, that is something to consider.
Something as simple as having a five gallon bucket with kitty litter in a lid.
It's not pretty, but it'll get the job done.
You'll have to fight the cat for it probably at some point.
No, this is mine.
This is my bucket.
I can't help injecting a little bit of humor into all these topics, but it's not a laughing matter.
I get it.
But what's a reasonable expectation that people should have about hospitals?
Now, we've seen the firing of healthcare workers and nurses who have natural immunity and who are not taking the vaccine.
They're being just let go in New York and California and other places.
So there's a short staffing crisis right now in America's hospitals, and that doesn't even consider the possibility of antibody-dependent enhancement among the healthcare workers who took the vaccine.
What do you think is a reasonable expectation of being able to even, you know, will the healthcare infrastructure function in the coming months, or how well will it function?
I think that's largely going to be dependent upon the area of the country that you're in and also what your state laws and local laws are governing requirements, etc., for various different healthcare providers and their state boards, right?
Because the state boards, like for nurses, EMTs, etc., Are governed, obviously, at the state level.
But when it comes right down to it, this has been the perfect storm that many of us in the healthcare community have been warning about and also has been told in order to drum up more nurses in the field, etc.
And I think the combination of an aging populace and also the intervention associated with government involvement, i.e.
the Obamacare Affordable Care Act, all of this ushered in a very centralized power structure that From a planning standpoint, the planners will say, oh, it's so much more efficient because there's a single point of planning and all the power flows from it.
But also that creates a single point of takedown.
So in my classes, we speak about the three factors that are present in any disaster.
Number one, normal medical infrastructure is degraded or non-existent.
Two, household medical supplies are scarce.
And three, medical knowledge is limited.
We are seeing all of this take shape right now.
The infrastructure itself is overburdened in some places, particularly in rural medical offices and rural hospitals.
But also when you have a manpower shortage that is self-induced, by the way, self-induced manpower shortage.
When you have nurses and healthcare providers willing to show up for work who did dutifully show up to work and clocked in when there was no vaccine available.
And now, like you said, these same people because they refuse to yield their sovereignty of their body over to a corporate entity or to a state.
Now they are declared the enemy.
When you have an infrastructure and a medical system that is weaponizing employment, basically, and seeking to push anyone out of the grid who doesn't follow lockstep with the Politburo, we can hardly be surprised, A, at shortages and a decrease in overall efficiency.
But the thing that's probably most scary to me is the type of environment for health care that's going to be on the heels of what they're doing right now.
Because when you push out people who are, A, not only advocating for themselves, but also by proxy advocating for the patient's right to choose, this is creating a health care infrastructure that is bent on control, that is bent on subjugation, and ultimately bent on creating a authoritarian that is bent on subjugation, and ultimately bent on creating a authoritarian style of health care that is not It's force.
And it's another weaponized arm of government with the white-kitted, gloved, seemingly beneficent face of a healthcare provider.
Now, when you push out healthcare providers who have free choice and willing to exercise their rights over their body, what you're left with is a sea of rule followers, which very quickly turns into tyranny.
Yeah, I think we're already there, but I've never seen everyday people more aware of how deadly hospitals are now.
I've heard people commenting like, oh, I'm never going to a doctor again.
They'll kill you, you know, and maybe I would have said that, you know, people heard me saying things like that years ago.
They're just talking about big pharma and prescription drugs and chemotherapy.
Now, It's a lot of mainstream people saying that, you know, because they know somebody who was killed by a ventilator.
They know somebody who was denied treatment with ivermectin.
What's your take on the public's loss of faith in that medical infrastructure?
And what does this mean for society in the long run?
I think there's probably no better poster child and picture for the crisis that we're facing right now in healthcare than patients dying alone with nothing but a screen to connect with their loved ones and end of life.
That is abominable.
And anyone who is a healthcare provider, regardless of their political affiliation, should be appalled at this, which is an egregious violation of human rights, but of patient rights in particular.
If you're looking for the overall indicator of a culture and a society, look at how it treats its most vulnerable.
I can think of fewer groups of people who are more vulnerable than those who are at end of life, completely at the mercy of whatever policy is being enforced by hospital administrators.
Thankfully, right now, there are several states that are moving to provide protection for individuals in end-of-life transitions.
And keep them from being denied access to their family for whatever reason, whatever pandemic or issue that's going on, I think anyone with a heart can recognize that no one should have to die alone under the guise of public health and for the greater good.
It's horrid.
Like, obviously, you can see I'm very passionate about this.
So many states right now are looking to looking to address this in their state legislatures.
Tennessee is, I think, perhaps in a special session.
So when when we're looking forward at this crisis of confidence, I think many people and you can see this written in memoirs and obviously social media, people are electing to take their life in their hands.
And God forbid, looking to die at home rather than face going into a cold and dark place where no one is going to care about them, where they're going to be denied access to their families and basically be guinea pigs and experimented on under the guise of greater good and public health.
So you're right, there's definitely a crisis of confidence.
But I think...
There's a potential bright side to this.
Whenever people have this crisis of confidence in the experts, the inverse of that is to turn towards self-sufficiency, towards responsibility, and towards educating a person and taking, again, responsibility for their own family's health.
So even though it's taken horrible circumstances to bring people to this point, I think if there's a positive that can come out of this, it's that more people are seeing the imperative necessity now to own their health care more than perhaps any time in recent history.
Well said.
That's the most powerful message, I think, for our time right now is if you delegate your healthcare decisions to someone else and they are compromised, your doctor, your hospital, the drug companies, the medical journals, the government, guess what?
They don't have your interests at heart.
Not at all.
In fact, right now, I think they're trying to kill you.
They're trying to.
So, yeah, you just said it.
You've got to take your power back and make your decisions yourself.
Well, Patriot Nurse, this has been a fascinating conversation.
