25. The Celtic knot represents the triple Goddess (the maiden, the mother, the crone), and the snakes are the symbols of female healers of the Celts and also Greeks. That's why they're on the Caduceus, the modern medical symbol.

#1 That would cancel out the effect of the White coat syndrome, where the anxiety of seeing a doctor (wearing a white coat) would also increase your blood pressure.

#12 Keeping with the MMO-leaning theme of the other Healer memes in here - the best way to support your healers is to be aware and avoid any damage you don't need to be taking. In other words, GET OUT OF THE GODDAMNED FIRE YOU FUCKING WALNUT I SWEAR TO-

#5 That is sometimes called a nurse log. Eventually the nurse log rots and now you have a line of trees standing on root stilts. The hollow underneath is called a ghost log.
I saw one in a redwood forest where it was so big you could walk, standing up, underneath the root stilts with huge trees above you. Wow.

#1 male nurse, sigh, yeah, its a problem.

#4 for a long time after, too. Right up until some of us figured out what we now call Agriculture anyway, and decided it was the right/only way to farm things (as opposed to i.e. the native american tribes who just cultivated and tended to things where they naturally grew, resulting in an appearance of a natural paradise to the settlers who the slashed it all down and planted huge fields of non-native crops.)

#1 I have a needle phobia but I had to get a COVID shot as soon as possible because I work at a medical practice. The person giving me shot was literally the hottest Navy corpsman I have ever seen, and then they complimented my arm muscles, so I would have rather died on the spot than freaked out in front of them. I ended up getting the injection without the usual panic and such.

#25 I like that my Chinese astrology animal is the Snake. (PSA I'm aware that astrology in general is bunk, it's just fun mythology to me).

#1 My Labrador has never had her resting heartbeat measured accurately by a vet, because she's terrified of stethoscopes.

Yeah I have "white coat syndrome" -- high blood pressure in the doctor's office but not in my daily life.

#17 this was me when I worked in group homes for “at risk” yutes. Exhausting work, paid dogshit wages.
Now I’m in sales, making ok money but also hating my life.
And tired. So tired.

#1 last time I got a checkup, when they hooked me up to the vitals machine, I set off some kinda of alarm because my pulse was stupid high. It was because she had just touched me to put on the cuff. I wasn't attracted to her or anything, just get nervous when strangers touch me lol
NarratesTheDarkerStory
yeah, I once got my blood pressure taken by a very attractive nurse. she then asked me if I was feeling ok this morning. not light headed, maybe dizzy? no headaches? and I know why. bad thoughts. sinful. I was blushing like a severe sunburn, so she lets me know the doctor will take it. he was on his 60's. BP was fine.

#1 haha, had a nurse tell me my blood pressure and pse were high, but when the doctor did it, it was normal. I had to admit I found her attractive. She was flattered and found it funny.
angusd
When I made my drivers license, I had to do a first aid class. We had to practice taking the pulse and I got paired with two really pretty girls: "Wow, your pulse is really high!" - Yeah... *cough

#2 yes yes, but, for the love of jod, I need to be successful to do any of those! Otherwise, the machinery of capital will grind me to dust.

#4 We selectively bred flowers for scent, color and size, so not really. There's a park around here dedicated to trying to create a sample of what it was like in this area before humans came and I really appreciate their objective, but lord it's boring. Waist to shoulder tall grasses and reeds, brown all year round, as far as the eye can see.

And I grew up in Florida. You know what Florida smelled like before we evolved? Mostly rot and decay. Swamps are generally not pleasant places.
EroticZombiePants
That's how most people view Florida now.

#13 this meme is so old, he's probably a retired nurse by now.

Ha ha ha. I retire in a few months!

Someone I love very much is a nurse. Sadly this post has real 'they are heroes!' Energy I've come to hate after covid-times. It's like nurse appreciation day where admins give their nurses a $5 gift card and candy/office supplies from their desk. I'll just assume you mean all this in the best light possible, not that way.
azazyel
I've been to the emergency room 5 times in the last 6 months, thank god for good nurses. I probably wouldn't be here without them
TheVaal
This is not just about nurses or even heroes. We are all healers in our own way, if we choose to be. As a veteran, the lip service paid to people who give of themselves to/for others is bothersome. I appreciate your comment giving me a chance to state this. Those who care do, Those who don't administrate.
Larktonguesinadicecup
As a hcw the idea that some people are "healers" as an identity and some are not squicks me out big time.
Notanavailablename
I must admit, I think I hated every one of these. As someone in a healing profession, I want to punch every single person who plays the "it's a calling! Such a noble calling! How heroic!!" I love my profession, but I despise the rhetoric surrounding it. It feels patronizing. Provide me with adequate compensation, time for proper rest, and suitable working conditions. Stop turning me into a martyr because I want to help. (Not aimed at OP, just my internal monologue).
TheVaal
I understand. I'm grateful that you voiced this. Thank you.

People who think nature smells like flowers everywhere, have not spent enough time in nature.

Enough time in manure, even

I don't mind the smell of manure, humans though...

#29 eh, what? Using 1000 year old manuals for healing? Please don't do this. Use the science from the last 1000 years to ensure that you're actually healing people.

They can complement each other nicely if done correctly.
freshthrowaway1138
That's a big If.

Yes it is. A lot of people think, "It's natural so it's better," but ya know, arsenic is natural... It's not good to self-medicate at any rate.
