It's been a while so here's a pic dump/update

Just as I figured....you say that you will give respect to those who have education and have studied at advanced levels, but you forgot to add that you will only give respect if they agree with you.

People who work in the field of health care acknowledge my education as a "real" field of studies and respect the hours of studying and practicum that I have done. I work with doctors, physiotherapists, pharmacists, etc and they all accept my education and admire my skills. My patients have great respect for me and my healing methods. It doesn't bother me that some ignorant metal head who doesn't have a clue about natural health, doesn't accept my education and diplomas.

 

Just seems funny to me that they don't teach your field at universities. My mother is in the medical field as a nurse, and my sister is a clinical pyschologist with a phD. And I myself have a degree in engineering. I know a little about how the educational system works.

And jobs in the health field wouldn't allow you to have a dreads. They're considered unsanitary. You're not even allowed radical hair colours as a nurse or doctor. Nor are you allowed jewelry or piercings or grown out nails. You have to have a very proper look.

And no I don't give a shit about your natural health.

 

thats actaully not true lol depends on the hospital or the occupation

 

yeah i was just gonna say.... shows what you know pat

 

Not in Canada. There are federal standards

 

well im in america and i am a student studying to be a paramedic and that definitly is not the case lol

canadia is werd lol jk

 

Maybe it's because paramedics spend the majority of their time working in ambulances or outside of the hospital.

the reason crazy hair and peircings aren't allowed in the hospital is because they can carry and transfer bacteria. It's not based on cosmetic reasons

 

true but even thought i do ambulence runs half the time u still spend a majorty of ur time at the hospital refilling supplys and helping the nurses

but we arent allowed to have too many peircings cuz of bacteria but a couple are fiine
but nails are a nono cuz of what nails carry blec lol

 

Ooookay. I work with general practioners in their offices, as well as specialists in hospitals and hospices, midwives & doulas and homecare workers, pharmecists, etc and no one has ever commented on my locks or having remove them. I am not a nurse or doctor, so I guess thats why I can have locks and still work in this field. I also know of a few nurses with radical hair colours and piercings-they have to wear clear piercing retainers while on shift, but that's it. I also know of a few dreadheads that work in homecare and retirement homes, but I'm not sure what their official titles are...

 

Yeah. My mom is only allowed little earrings in her ears. Nothing else. No nail polish or rings. Hands are the most important

 

Really? Can ya show them to me, 'cause out here in BC I don't think anyone is enforcing these standards...

 

Wow,

After I gave birth, letting that placenta slide out was a great feeling and it was much bigger than I thought it would be. Very interesting stuff.

I would love to go to school and get my degree in herbal medicine, good for you bcmama!

 

nails must be kept short pat but gel and acrlyics are ok to have as loong as they are too long
dunno about nail polish tho lol

 

Well apparently in BC they let plants heal people

and here you go

Wow, thanks for the link. Now I get to sift through a government site looking for a tidbit of info that you gave me....

BTW, my diplomas are recognised across Canada and I am a member of the Canadian Herbalist Association.

 

bcmama im very interested in this herbalism
what exaclty is it?

 

Congratulations. Do you feel important? I could become a member aswell for only 150 dollars a year :O

I'm a member of the AES. Worship me

 

No such thing. You get a diploma. No sanctioned universities appear to teach herbal medicine. And you can only get degrees from Sanctioned Universities. Or if you do get a "degree" it wont be recognized anywhere

 

Pat_

Just curious, not getting on your case or anything, where did you go to school?
And what type of engineering degree? Does it have to do with music?

 

she wouldn't know how
