Immunizations Prevent Chicken Pox

    Immunizations prevent Chicken Pox, a highly contagious infectious disease common to childhood. It is caused by a Varicella (Herpes) Virus. It causes headache, fever, itchy rash, and myalgias. The first immunization is at 16 months and the second is at 4-6 years. Adults can be immunized to prevent Shingles, a painful rash that occurs in the distribution of a dermatome. Doctors spend their lives preventing disease. If a doctor’s office closes patients seek care from nurses or Methadone Clinics.

Immunize!

     Doctors help patients stay current with immunizations. Every ten years you should have a tetanus booster. It’s an easy disease to prevent. Without immunizations you might contract tetanus from a rusty nail. It results in uncontrolled muscle contractions, hence the term tetanus. It can be a painful death. The good news is that it is preventable. Doctors and Rotary work hard to prevent diseases. When doctors offices close patients seek care from nurses and Methadone Clinics.

Immunizations Prevent Mumps

     To people over 50, an episode of mumps was part of childhood. Since it was highly contagious, an epidemic swept quickly though schools and neighborhoods. If you were lucky you caught mumps early in the epidemic when the virus was not as strong or virulent. Some boys became sterile if mumps infected the testicles. The virus infected the parotid glands making it difficult to swallow. Immunizations prevent the spread of mumps with possible sterility. Doctors and the Rotary Club make the world better by immunizing patients.

     Law enforcement seem to want to take possessions from doctors. Even without a valid search warrant, they can enter a doctor’s office and take money and jewelry like barbarians. When a doctor closes the office, it is more difficult for patients to receive immunizations. They seek care form the Methadone Clinic and nurse’s offices.

Immunizations Save Lives

     Doctors immunize patients to prevent diseases. Immunization saves lives. When parents do not value immunizations, they sometimes want to forego immunizing their children. They put their children and the community at risk. West Virginia requires immunizations to attend school. The world is a better place thanks to immunizations and doctors.

     Law enforcement could make the world a better place. Instead they can enter a doctor’s office when the search warrant clearly lacks the doctor’s name. This barbaric practice does not make the world a better place. It tramples on the rights of a doctor. They tear the door down and carry guns, hardly necessary in a doctor’s office. The agents seem jealous of doctors and take away jewelry and money which they neither log nor return. It seems like stealing. At least doctors make the world a better place.

Doctors and Immunizations Make the World Safer

     Doctors and nurses immunize children every day. Because of immunizations, many diseases no longer plague us. We rarely see mumps, measles, rubella, diphtheria, or chicken pox. Polio and Small Pox no longer claim the lives of whole populations. At the Immunization Conference in Charleston West Virginia, health care providers spent two days learning and sharing their knowledge about immunizations. Doctors spend half their lives learning to be doctors. They are dedicated to their patients and practices.

     U.S. Attorney gave the Key Note address. He is proud of arresting more West Virginians than anyone else has. Doctors are proud of their work saving lives. When doctors offices close, patients seek care from Methadone Clinics and nurses who seem to not be arrested.

Just as a pagoda appears exciting, you must take the appropriate immunizations to prevent cholera and other diseases endemic to the travel destination. Unknowingly you can bring diseases back to the United States. With travel comes hazards and risks.

     Risks are part of the work life too. Coal miners face hazards that result in injury. They take medications and physical therapy in order to improve. Medications can reduce pain. Physicians help patients take medications correctly. When a doctor’s office closes patients seek care for the Methadone Clinic or a nurse’s office.

Physicians Help Immunize

     Thanks to the efforts of physicians and the Rotary all over the world, many diseases have been eliminated. Americans no longer suffer with mumps, measles, rubella, small pox or polio thanks to physicians taking the time to educate patients and administer immunizations. College students who once died from Meningitis, now can be protected by being immunized for the disease. Physicians play a key role in disease prevention.

     Just as disease can be prevented, legal problems can be prevented. Law enforcement officers enjoy barbaric practices seen on popular TV shows. They like to carry guns and take possessions from a doctor even without a search warrant with the doctor’s name on it. If law enforcement officers spoke to a physician instead of breaking down the door, wearing a bullet proof vest, and carrying a gun, they would be able to express in an intelligent way what their concern is. There is no need for guns or breaking down the door, a primitive way to attract the attention of well educated physicians. When their offices close, patients seek the care from nurses and Methadone Clinics who seem to be free of investigation.

Doctors Help Prevent Diseases

     Doctors help prevent diseases by encouraging healthy life styles, teaching patients to take medications correctly, and encouraging immunizations. Thanks to immunizations globally, small pox has been eliminated. Polio exists in 4 countries thanks to global efforts and the Rotary Club.

     Doctors instruct their patients to take medications as directe4d. If they do not take them correctly, it is not because the doctor gave incorrect instructions. If law enforcement determines that a patient takes a medication incorrectly. it cam ask for help from doctors who are used to preventing disease. The goal of law enforcement seems to arrest people and carry guns. The are able to enter a doctor’s office and take jewelry and possessions without a search warrant the contains the name of the doctor. How barbaric! They want to advance by claiming an increase in arrests makes people more safe. It probably makes people feel unsafe.

Get Immunized

     Immunizations prevent diseases. Children and adults need to keep their immunizations current. In West Virginia childen must be immunized to gain entry into school. There is a highly publicized case in Mingo County about a family who wanted a medical waiver for a child, but it was not granted. Public health benefits from immunizations.

     Another public health concern is the drug war which can be addressed with public health measures. The 36 million arrests has been a failed strategy. In southern West Virginia, many doctors closed their office because of the drug war. Even when the doctor’s name is not on a search warrant, law enforcement agents can break down the office door and take money and jewelry in the name of the drug war. it does not make sense. Patients seek care from nurses and Methadone Clinics which seem to be free from prosecution.

     Doctors spend long hours explaining the importance of immunizations to patients. Almost anyone under 50 has enjoyed the benefits of immunizations. Older patients suffered with mumps, measles, Rubella, Whooping Cough, and a variety of the contagious diseases. The public health agent would paste a yellow Quarantine sign on the homes to help control the epidemic. Most children have 24 shots by age 4 preventing many diseases.

    There is a drug epidemic which might be helped with education. Doctors help educate their patients. When they close their offices, patients seek care form nurses and Methadone Clinics. The Public Health office will immunize children before entering kindergarten. .
