Surgeons are..


Seem familiar?
As far as I know, surgeons are a pretty odd bunch sometimes, but they're not necessarily mean.

This is me, every time some blooming idiot thinks that people get the flu from the seasonal flu vaccine. 

The European/Dutch flu vaccines contain pieces of dead virus. 
Pieces of dead virus.
So no, it's not capable of giving you the real flu.
Yes, it is capable of making you feel a little under the weather for 1-2 days (that's because your immune system still responds to pieces of dead virus). But it's not a full-blown flu.

It's funny how the people with the most vague symptoms of thyroid disorders are often the ones to bitch the most about vaccinations and other stuff.
I sometimes wonder why the human race has not gone extinct yet.

:/


Well. I seriously considered going into A&E (or the Dutch equivalent of it, at least) for some time.
With my recent diagnosis of Graves' disease, and this vid showing the sheer amount of pressure and frustration that physicians have to deal with in emergency care, I'm starting to question my ambitions.
Stress means heart palpitations for me now that I have Graves' disease.
I don't like heart palpitations. 
And I don't know if my Graves' will relapse once I'm done with my pills.
I'm going to have to think about my decision to pursue a career in A&E or Trauma/Anesthesiology.
