5 Replies

Well went for my other pneumonia jab with COPD Nurse.

Well its pneumonia jab but its to try treat my streptococcus defiancy.

My GP had Two letters going on about importance of receiving right jab.

One letter and one hospital prescription slip.

Well i sit down and nurse as jab ready She looked at here computer but clearly ONLY seen what she wanted to see and said O your here for pneumonia jab.

I said yes AND asked befoure you stick that in me IS that kids pneumonia jab SO she looked back at computer and said o a guess i will have to go get one.

I told her MY lung doctor asked me to make sure i get kids one and not adult one AS adult one did not work.

You would think these COPD Nurses would be on the ball LIKE how many more as she given wrong injections threw lack of Interest due diligence.

After all we are not cattle and injection was to help STOP me suffering lots of bad things.

Truly amazing but its worth remembering NO mater how ruff you feel you need to be on your guard and question more because if your not and don't IT might cost you your life

Good job you were on your toes. I check all new meds given to me by the Doc now, same with nurses, because the blinkers are well and truly off where they're all concerned. There are just too many mistakes being made, to blindly take what they give us xx

Hi Casper Defo agree there SHE was guna stick me with adult one.

Then when asked about adult one not working SHE said o the never work.

So asked her IF kids one dose not work WILL i have to have IGM injections.

Well she said O we not going there as we don't know if this will work.

I can say with confidence she was full of it really JUST glad i had my A GAME hat on
